Don't Bank on the Isle of Man

[fthlagen]

I feel terribly for those of you who lost life savings. Even for those of you with wealth to lose (lucky you), I still think what the UK did was heartless.

I hope you do get your cash back out of Nu Labour before they get kicked out.

However, I don't imagine the Manx Government's going to work harder for you just because of a series of YouTube comedy vids with a few hundred views each which slag them off.

I don't have a serious alternative for you but these vids are plain undignified.

You just can't evade the facts as put in these videos - DON'T BANK ON THE ISLE OF MAN - you will be waiting for your deposit to be returned until the day you die - don't expect help from them all they want is to keep their cosy jobs in government and finance!! SHAME ON THEM - give us back our money NOW!!

Tony Brown, Chief Minister of the IoM, & his colleagues can spin as much as they like to create the illusion that all is well on the IoM. but the IoM is going down the pan as an offshore financial centre because it has no bank of last resport, a crap compensation scheme, no integrity, is morally bankrupt, nepotistic & totally self-seeking in its efforts to suck in money to keep its budget in surplus.

The message is clear: DONT BANK ON THE ISLE OF MAN - it could ruin your wealth

On the Isle of Man people are rewarded for their incompetence.

[CheatedCanuck]

All excellent Videos telling the truth of what happened

[pepichloe]

Well done.

100% return of our savings NOW.

[penhydd]

Well done. Let us hope that your video and others will start making an impression on the institutional depositors/investors. If they begin to get worried and threaten to pull out it could make the Manx government reconsider its present policy of doing nothing.

I can't think of too many professions where you can continually do a lousy job and not only KEEP the job but be paid an extortionate amount of money in the process. Oh... and if you lie, cheat and steal you'll probably be paid a bonus! The financial industry is a disgrace.

Although promised DCS cover when depositing in KSFIoM now reading about the extended cock up which the DCS Scheme Manager / Liquidator have created it looks unlikely that anyone will receive their DCS claim in the near future. IoMG must be rubbing their hands with glee as the liquidator pays out 1st payment on 4th Sept, ahead of them parting with a penny of DCS money. Compensation, what compensation? Dream on it's a loan which is promised but never comes. Rotten smell, I think so!!!!!!!

Don't bank on the IOM. When the going gets tough they'll run a mile. Their laughable Depositors Compensation Scheme reverts to a measly 20k in October.

well said, the misery of it all is enough to make anyone just STAY AWAY...

A fantastic video! a clear message to all IFA's who use the Isle of Man to place their clients' money!

Don't trust them - Don't let the life companies sway you to place deposits there!

I wish our IFA had known all this before he placed our money there and outlined all the risks!

I wish our life company CMI LTD had shared all the facts about the risks of depositing cash there! (Funny how their literature has now changed on the lack of adequate compensation!).

DON'T BANK THERE!

[kmunro2424]

Brilliant! Every IFA should see this. Does he/she want their name associated with these cowboys? If I were an IFA I wouldn't touch them with a barge-pole

[Frozen1951]

What can anyone add to this fantastic video - - IT SAYS IT ALL WITH THE FACTS -- It should be sent to every financial advisor and government official we know - Can I have MY MONEY back pleeeeeeese? I shouldn't have to ask IT'S MINE after all.

[fleeced2008]

send this to everyone you can think of including the IOMG. It is wonderful. Thanks for encouraging the rest of us.

[MrBellyup]

Fantastic !

[USAWanda]

May I be the first to say OUTSTANDING EFFORT!! I thought Gordon the Rat and the animated poop would take some beating but this offering is brilliant! The music is so catchy, it makes me want to watch the video over and over again which is, after all the whole point of these excercise! Yeeeeehaw.......can I have my money back, money back, pleeeeease?
