Leaked documents that GFH don't want you to see (allegedly)

Just to cover myself, please note that everything in this post comes from the one website & may well be a fabrication. There has been much discussion about them on Twitter, most of which I have not been party to. I have been told on Twitter that GFH have issued (to date) 5 'cease & desist' orders (whatever they are), so don't expect this website to be up much longer. It was closed down yesterday & I was surprised to find it up today. It's possible that some of the docs have been deleted, but not having seen the site before, I cannot confirm or deny this. I'll copy off as much as I can in case it gets shut down again. Btw, does anyone know how to get data off a .pdf file? I don't, hence the pdf attachments.

LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS: GULF FINANCE HOUSE DOCUMENTS LEAKED (UPDATED)
Further to previous leaks from inside GFH, today saw the introduction of some rather eye-opening information surrounding Gulf Finance House (“GFH”), current managers of 25% of Leeds United’s shares.

Dissension is reportedly rife within the ownership structure at GFH, with investors said to be both outraged and embarrassed at the handling of investment in Leeds United, and the entire David Haigh affair. Several emergency board meetings have been both called and cancelled in the last few weeks, mostly pertaining to Leeds United Football Club. A break-off group of GFH investors has also been rumoured.

Additional leaks will be added as and when they are, well, leaked.

Last update: 1:02pm (GMT), January 7th, 2015. Items 6 and 7 added.

Leaks, leaks, everywhere
Item 1:
A letter to the DFSA (Dubai Financial Services Authority), outlining and documenting a conversation that took place between David Haigh and Salem Patel. The accusations found within have reportedly been evidenced with secure and encrypted logs from the Text Messaging App “WhatsApp”, to avoid any accusations of tampering. The document references such instances as Injazat Technology Fund’s money being used by Hisham Alrayes and GFH to acquire Leeds United Football Club. Also references that something of an agreement was already in place for GFH to sell the club to Sport Capital, and that Shaun Harvey had been pressurized (successfully) to exert his influence and push the potential deal through.

Item 2:
As if further evidence of the failed management of Leeds United under GFH and Alrayes was needed, a document surfaced evidencing a year long battle to get even the fish tank cleaned. Yes, folks, it has come to this. A company that requires a year long approval for fifty pounds also claims to have lost four million by way of fraudulent transactions.

Item 3:
While not quite a leak, it is a great resource for viewing just how far GFH’s share price has plummeted

Item 4:

An email from David Haigh to the board of GFH discussing Gary Cooper, then Chairman of Leeds United Supporters Trust. The email details the ridiculous demands of Salem Patel, namely his demand that Gary Cooper and LUST apologise for publicly questioning the GFH involvement, and alleged sharing of GFH data with the press. Patel stated that the club were not permitted to speak with LUST or other supporters groups until he himself received a personal apology (So much for Mr. Cooper being in bed with GFH, eh?)

Item 5:
A recent letter from Haigh representatives, to GFH and their lawyers. It includes the names of all those called to give affidavits, and highlights the eye watering demands by Gulf Finance House, including indirect admissions that previously leaked email and text conversations were legitimate. Well worth the read. Don’t be put off by the thirty three page length, it contains a lot of images.

Document: Document number five has been withdrawn due to the highly personal nature of some of the details. Redacting would not leave much in place.

Item 6:An email detailing the plans for Elland Road, including interesting comments regarding the catering contract, among other things. The standout bit of information here is the plan to buy Elland Road, and potentially sell it straight away for a quick profit. The email goes a good way toward showing the investment process at GFH.

Item 7:
GFH had just completed the purchase of Leeds United Football Club and had a deadline of February 20th to pay players, as many of us remember. Here’s the actual email exchange discussing this very fact. Hisham’s response to the threat of administration is mind numbing.

We are currently working on obtaining more documents. Some documents we have in our possession at the moment need a lot of redacting due to the highly personal nature. Updates to this article will be announced accordingly via social media channels.

I'd call a plumber to sort out all these leaks if i was involved with GFH Whitejock

 

Whitejock,

seems good work by whover has made these documents viewable.

This is a link from JA606, it may be the same as 1 you've already posted.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/251927074/Email-Re-GFH-Initial-Investment

I also posted the link below, it's been removed as private, could be the same as your number 5.

it was text messages involving, Haigh, Patel, other GFH personal and, Shaun Harveys name was mentioned .

Haigh had them released to his solicitors.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/251800609...alem-Patel-and-Hisham-Alrayes-Re-Leeds-United

but looking through yours it seems you've managed to save them as you've linked the pdf file, hope you saved them to your hard drive.

 

Good find lads.

 

I have indeed saved the .pdf files to my hard disc. Sadly, I have no idea how to copy them so that I can explode them out, hence the need to attach them. I've also been asleep since I posted it all, so haven't actually read & absorbed yet. Just knew it must be very readavle if GFH were taking legal action to prevent us reading them. I'll check out the links you've given along with my stuff as soon as I can. Sadly, I'm taking painkillers that make me a bit 'floaty' & can't stop sleeping all the time!

 

I read some of the stuff last night on waccoe and it struck me that Leeds off field antics are so much more interesting than the on field rubbish. In fact I think Im only interested in the off field stuff anymore. Its a great soap

 

Whitejock,

if by explode you mean put them up as pages, then try copy/paste, that should work however, given the number of pages you mentioned there are, it might be better leavin'em as pdf file links.

Do you mind if I copy/paste your post to ja606, or you can do it, there's a few intelligent fans there still that would be interested in reading them docs/files.

 

Sure, go ahead, LL, the more the merrier. Can't copy from these .pdf files, unfortunately, hence the request. I'm sure there will be apps out there somewhere.

bump

 

If it's come to this I think it is time to get an lufc fix somewhere else.

 

Laters

 

Might I suggest Waccoe.Lots of positive posters on there. Thousands in fact and a multitude of topics.
All things Leeds related are dissected microscopically

 

Thanks for the tip.
But the close season can't come fast enough. A few weeks with absolutely no bollocks and conjecture will be gratefully received.

 

I wish you the best of luck with that glory
Latest on waccoe this morning, pictures of Cellino drinking coffee outside a Leeds restaurant with two others and getting a shed load of abuse from a fan. Theresa a useless piece of info for you to mull over or maybe you were that fan

 

Maybe I was. But cellino is still in Miami according to umbers?

 

Another umbers lie possibly cos here's one of the photos taken yesterday allegedly of him

 

The other bloke is Mr Bull.
First name Red,
Now get back on waccoe and start spreading the news.

 

Too late. Seemingly he's Cellinos UK lawyer. What a surprise eh. Must spend his entire life talking to them

 

It's what corrupt crooks do.
