Hi Folks,
Whilst I dont know a lot about cambridge capital, I have met a "Ron Jones" who is in this business, met him a few years ago on the costa del sol, well known to adnan koshoggi (famous arms dealer and perported to be behind BCCI many years ago) Jerome, (his family name escapes me, but well known promoter of spantel shares) and frank palombo/calombo (unsure of spelling) These 4 characters were well known on the Marbella circuit in spain, often seen throwing huge amounts of money around, (presumably other peoples). Now as far as i am aware, jerome was arrested and extradited about 18 months ago to germany for fraud charges, has been seen in passing in southern spain, Frank has an enditement apparently from the US, adnan, No idea, But Ron, last known to relocate to the phillippines around september last year. Of course, there are many ron joneses around i'm sure, but this guy could often be heard telling what would appear to be rookie sales staff in bars "what we do is legal, Hell, I even use my own name!" If your ron that called you had a very smooth american accent, it could be him, In general, the haunts for these sales staff years ago, were places like "franks Corner" and the "havana" bar in Marbella, costa del sol. I havent been there now for a few years, but i would think these types still hang out in the same places, and if it is anything like the late 90's, you won't have to sit long before you hear boiler room style conversation. At the time I was there, it sounded very odd to hear, but knowing what i now know a few years on, after losing a fair amount of money to these f******, it makes me wonder if its worth a trip down there all these years later.
Happy hunting Rowntree, the australians found John Keely in Bangkok (brinton group and others) maybe you'll be lucky.
