BEYOND GOLD There is only Grey is the story of a fraud on
a massive scale, involving credit cards, property, banking.
As the recent Banking crisis clearly shows, the World is
vulnerable to these flaws, using the instant responses of
the internet to destabilise the whole system, and through
it, us. The governments of the World explained it all away
as just market forces, but then, they would say that,
wouldn't they? In reality, as shocking as it was, one man
orchestrated our downfall.. For those of us who want to
know, this whole story is a blueprint of how real fraud
works behind the scenes in all its fascinating but shocking
detail.

James Germaine was doing very nicely thank you. In his smart office situated just off the Strand, he had just signed another happy investor to his bond-washing/gilt savings plan. His company - or rather, the company he was associated with (he could hardly set aside the largesse of his fellow directors who had financed the set-up of the plan) - Germaine Rouse, was now one of the most talked- about and bold investing strategies in the Country, if not yet beyond. Even that proviso was to be soon addressed. 


From modest beginnings, the company had grown into a mammoth organisation, which now controlled investor’s funds of some £500m. Most of that money was already held and controlled by his partners in the Isle of Man, where Germaine Rouse had installed a sister company, Germaine Rouse (IOM) Ltd.
