Exclusive: Criminal noose tightens as CPS expose Jonathan Harris Sinclair, Setfords Law and David Maxwell Middleburgh as fraudsters in a corrupt conspiracy to steal £322K.
Financial Fraudster News Investigations has seen documents dated 6 June 2011 showing that fraudster and Setfords Law solicitor David Maxwell Middleburgh (pictured left) gave a solicitor undertaking that funds totalling £321,830.34 plus interest held by Jonathan Harris Sinclair for the benefit of Rodney Whiston-Dew.
The funds were to be held in escrow and remain ringed fenced under the terms of the solicitor undertaking relied upon by a number parties including Mr Whiston-Dew as sole beneficiary, also judges, Her Majesty’s Court and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) and the CPS.
Moreover, following a civil court case brought against Mr Whiston-Dew when a major creditor was awarded judgment and substantial damages, the creditor then sought to charge assets held under the terms of the solicitor undertaking.
Amid suspicions of fraud it was at this inflection point were the creditor sought to charger the assets when suspicions rose and belief that the assets were dissipated by the corrupt lawyer aided and abetted by Setfords Law and Jonathan Harris Sinclair.
Thereafter, the doubts of theft were seemingly realised and began to manifest as the fraudsters led by letters from Jonathan Harris Sinclair, Setfords Law and David Maxwell Middleburgh who began to weave a pack of lies even giving the CPS unconscionable excuses and fraudulent statements why the solicitor undertaking would not extend to funds being deposited with HMCTS.
On 17 August 2021 Setfords Law and solicitor David Maxwell Middleburgh wrote to the creditor in a last ditched attempt to pervert the course of justice stating that Mr Whiston-Dew was in fact, not the beneficiary, the clear motive behind the letter was the fraudulent attempt by Jonathan Harris Sinclair, Setfords Law and David Maxwell Middleburgh to steal the funds held under the terms of the solicitor undertaking.
Between 2012 and 2020 Jonathan Harris Sinclair a liquidator operating from a discreet Hendon, North London office
(pictured right) filed a series of fraudulent liquidator reports pertaining to Judmick Estates Ltd's liquidation process.
Although Harris Sinclair was charged with the distribution of proceeds to its creditors, which included Mr Whiston-Dew, with Jonathan Harris Sinclair there has been no sign of the alleged stolen funds held under the terms of the purported solicitor undertaking totalling £321,830.34.
Financial Fraudster News Investigations has seen Companies House filings and since 2012 the funds held have in fact surprisingly decreased not increased despite added interest, a worrying sign for Mr Whiston-Dew and his creditors.
Continuing Fraudulent Conduct
Financial Fraudster News Investigations where shown documents dated 19 August 2021 by the CPS who wrote to lawyers acting for Mr Whiston-Dew (the subject of a Proceeds of Crime Act Order) highlighting the irrational conduct of Jonathan Harris Sinclair and David Maxwell Middleburgh who now in a desparate state wrote to the CPS to be released from the solicitor undertaking, the CPS flatly declined, while Jonathan Harris Sinclair and David Maxwell Middleburgh had consistently refused to pay the funds to HMCTS as consented at the material time (now withdrawn) by Mr Whiston-Dew.
Furthermore, the CPS wrote to Mr Whiston-Dew and made it absolutely clear that the assets held by the solicitors undertaking belonged unequivocally to Mr Whiston-Dew.
