An update on Vladimir Peter Wilson, previously mentioned here.

It seems that the spell at Her/His Majesty’s Pleasure has done little to persuade Vladimir Peter Wilson to join the ranks of honest upstanding citizens. Instead he appears to have spent his time behind bars thinking up ways to construct more elaborate dreamworlds to inhabit. 

The current one takes the form of apparently handing over his large “multi-company corporation” NMUK to a female who seems only to exist in a stock image photo, one Francesca Shaw. In a new “press release”, this thrusting and dynamic female (who has no track record but who apparently is a “strong advocate for various causes”) pledges to take the company forward for a new and “exciting chapter”. Bold plans indeed.

This, and the accompanying page on his company’s website, is written in Peter Wilson’s usual illiterate style, alternating between ludicrous fantasy constructions (“there will be some major changes to the firm’s structure”) and good old fashioned sexist nonsense (“in the case of Francesca Shaw, a pretty smile won’t fix all the company’s issue”).

If there weren’t quite so many people and companies now struggling with the debt that Wilson has inflicted on them, this might be vaguely comical, albeit in a blundering, half-witted way. Certainly he seems determined to continue to perpetuate the myth that he is an individual of some significance instead of what he continues to be – a hard hearted conman with a track record of fraud. One day he might actually face the fact that he has cheated all these people out of a considerable amount of money and might one day finally make good what he has done. That day has not yet arrived however, given the wide-eyed and shameless fantasy he is currently indulging in.

It appears then that his current plan is to carry on with his company, make up a few other companies along the way (“United Models”, “Hire any Celeb”, “MYKIT” My Location”), none of which currently exist except in his head) and carry on his merry way, looking for more suckers to con. As ever then – freelancers, suppliers, cast and crew – anyone who comes across this individual in the future: be very, very cautious.
