Which email address should I reach you at? I will happily take you up on it. I'll redirect one of my donations to the charity of your choice :)

So we're clear on the terms in public:

1. The land we are discussing is the piece of land highlighted in red here: https://web.archive.org/web/20221006130517/https://passport....

2. You will present an independent valuation from a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors showing a value of >=£1m for the same piece of land (1.72 acres) where "independent" means they're not a related party (e.g: a valuation produced by West London Lets is not acceptable)

2a. If I have concerns about the independence of the source of the valuation, I can, at my cost, instruct a member of RICS from the local area to value the land

3. You share "...details of the prior transaction..." which includes an explanation of the £7k "transaction fee" which demonstrates that the land in question was not purchased for £7k through the auction

4. I will not sign an NDA, I will return to this thread to either confirm I was wrong and correct myself, or confirm I was correct, the outcome must be shared

5. You donate £10k to my charity of choice if you're unable to satisfy the above conditions (A local homeless charity, The Crossings, charity number 1175115)

Deal?

It's a shame Vinay disappeared from this thread.
ironic that he's the one slinking back into his hole, I guess projection really is the fraudsters greatest weakness. What's most interesting to me is that after the conversation in this thread, I did some further research on Vinay, and even his (pretty weak) credentials are, unsurprisingly, overinflated. He seems to be smart enough to massage his credentials for the audience (e.g: in more sophisticated places, he proclaims he was involved in the launch of Ethereum (twitter, his website), but in less sophisticated places, he proclaims he was part of the team that created Ethereum itself). He's a self promoter, a clinger on, a man who lacks any substance, fits right in within the cryptocurrency space. I assume he'll read this comment and be conflicted: does he respond with more insults but completely ignore the fact that he has chosen to ignore the opportunity to prove what he has said to be true? Does he use my disrespect here as an excuse to no longer engage? I'm excited to see his strategy.
