Statement from Mark and Kathryn Llewellyn-Jones.

In a recent story on this website it was reported that a number of companies who had acted as agents for Metro Property Group in Detroit are facing litigation and/or have ceased trading.
Comments on this story were posted by an individual named Finn in which he or she openly accuses the plaintiffs in the lawsuit of serious criminal activity and bankruptcy.
In May this year the Irish company, Brendan Investments, publicly backed Metro Property Group in Detroit and the individual named Finn appears to be posting on the company's behalf.

An individual named Finn has used this site to openly accuse the plaintiffs in a lawsuit, filed in the US against Metro Property Group Detroit, of criminal activity. In his or her various posts Finn has repeatedly accused the plaintiffs of operating a ‘shakedown’ - urban slang for extortion or blackmail.

Finn also openly states on this site, in posts specifically targeting the lead plaintiff in the case, that she is a ‘bankrupt’ and openly questions ‘who did you do when you went bankrupt’?

We request that the individual called Finn reveals his or her true identity and would like to know if he or she is prepared to stand by these false and very serious allegations of extortion and blackmail, as well as the many other entirely false accusations which include, bankruptcy, being an agent working for a UK based company, refusing a refund of money by Metro Property Group in Detroit and having a hateful racist and/or religious motive for bringing this case against the company. It would appear from his or her postings that Finn is a representative of Brendan Investments and we would like to know if this is the case. We will not engage in any way with an unknown party.

We are among many victims who have lost their life savings to Metro Property Group and we stand by the allegations made in the lawsuit. We have filed in excess of 70 exhibits to prove the claims, including forged leases, proof of fake rental payments and proof of fake evictions, We are also committed to seeing this case bought to trial and the defendants exposed, regardless of attacks such as the one made by Finn which are commonplace
