Jailed financial adviser John Lewis was yesterday ordered by the Royal Court to repay eight of his victims, who invested between £25,000 and £200,000 each through unregulated companies he set up along with his business partners.
However, the victims will share in just £25,000 – profits from the sale of Lewis’s home – leaving them with between £948 and £5,689 each.
Lewis and his fellow former Goldridge Stone directors, Russell Foot and James Cameron, were sentenced to 4½ years’ imprisonment each for their parts in a £1.3 million scam, which saw them entice clients to invest in US property.
