Trading Fraudulently

We are writing this not only to make others aware of the dire situation working for arria puts you and your family in but also in hope that someone can help us.

For 20 months now all the staff at Arria have not been paid on time. This began in July 2022 - at this time we were just a few weeks behind, whereas now UK staff are 4 months behind in wages while other regions are 5 - 6 months behind.

Staff are owe thousands!

Some staff are also owe expenses for things they have paid for out of their own pockets in good faith, sales trips, subscriptions etc.

There are also missing pension contributions as mentioned by others.

In the UK we are 6 months behind in pension payments. Staff members who contribute to their pensions have had money taken from the salaries they have been paid, but the contribution has not been added to their pension accounts. Ie it has been stolen by Arria. Used for what is anyone's guess but not salaries.

The reason for this fraudulent behavior - there is no money in the bank account. The hundreds of thousands investors have sunk into the company over the years have been spend on bad decisions made mainly by the CEO. And yet the Arria Board of directors still stand by her! Shows they are corrupt and unfaised by illegal fraudulent behavior too. You can find the names of these board members on the Arria website.

For the last 20 months the CEO and Board have been trying "their best" to get investment from anyone they can extort money from. From rich Malaysian business men who don't seem to exist to Australian kids who deal in bit coin! They really have no shame. They probably asked their grandmas too!

Funily enough no one has wanted to invest!

During this time Arria have continued to rack up the debt. Owing more money than anyone in Arria seems to actually know. The debts owed to vendors is in the tens of millions. Not to mention the fines and legal costs they are incurring.

How a company this size and age can get away trading fraudulently for almost two years is a question for HMRC, Companies House and the pension regulator to name a few. They are obviously managing to fly under the radar of the authorities some how.

Of course many staff have left - around half and the ones still here are all looking for jobs. Unfortunately it's not easy to find a new job when you have spent 10 years somewhere that has never invested in you. False promises and lies have kept people here a lot longer than they should have.

So what now for Arria staff...well if you do what the CEO and the board tell you, you will hang in there a bit longer - with more lies about funding and bridge funding coming any day now (yes the same any day we've had for 20 months).

However, the CEO and the CTO don't seem to be struggling like the rest of us! Therefore they don't get it! Empathy is not an Arria thing. Staff can't feed their children, are attending food banks, most of us have had to borrow money from friends and family, and there are the staff who have defaulted on rent and mortgage payments and had to sell homes and cars, but do they care, most definitely not. We are told "payroll is a priority" but this is just not true - there is some money coming into Arria - we have customers, they pay us - we would love to know if payroll were priority where is this money going?

Staff (which is ALL staff) are now desperate. And desperate people will do anything.

So if you are a employment lawyer, a member of the press or an employer looking for staff who thinks they can help fight for what's right, offer legal advive, offer jobs or just want a juicy story with lots of twists and turns that would be bizarre even on Netflix - contact a member of Arria staff - not one of them have anything left to loose.

Arria you have pushed us too far now!

Cashflow is clearly tight at AI’s longest startup Arria NLG. The New Zealand-registered company’s main offices are in the US, where court filings last October showed IT supplier Sierra Microproducts was seeking payment of US$87,028 ($145,000) in outstanding invoices. Fast forward to late February and an affidavit from Sierra’s lawyer, Frederick E Gerson Esq, said the parties had agreed Arria would pay the amount in 10 instalments, failing which, Sierra was entitled to judgment for US$120,000. “To date, Arria has missed its first payment,” said the affidavit, and the clock was now ticking on its make-good deadline. Also in February, Arria said investors had completed due diligence on US$100 million of new funding and it was expecting a terms sheet “imminently221;. Nail-biting stuff.

Arria is never going to happen. Their latest plan is to debt finance with the IP as collateral. Just announced to shareholders as Plan B for when the Malaysian prince fails to fund. Im serious. Sharon Daniels is really the worst tech CEO I've ever seen operate. A nut less monkey could do her job.

Seven years. Sounds Biblical - except there was never a feast to start with.

Gerald Henry was jailed for federal wire fraud. His brother Brian was the first to be convicted in NZ for securities fraud. Matter of public record. You bleat like a carnival barker on helium. Brian Henry has the business manner of a teenager selling you crypto, and the ethical rectitude of a nun left for too long with the Christmas candles.... I've been told.

LockstockDo shut upYou are a laughingstock

[1lockstock] 06/1/2024 18:57

Sorry Windhill but you are wrong. Only one of the Henry brothers is a convicted criminal.

Side note: Sushisamba is bloody great. St Pancras roof a marvel. Still no response from our 'new' pundit I see.

[psychochopper] 05/1/2024 20:30

OCK, your rebuttal is …?

[psychochopper] 05/1/2024 13:58

1lockstock, you must feel very strongly about this. After all, you have been on ADVFN since June 2022, and this is your first post.

What else is on your mind?

KidknOCKed —-> 1lockstOCK ——> utter cOCK

[rackersthedon] 05/1/2024 12:07

Kidknocked is an insider

that isnt defamatory

[1lockstock] 05/1/2024 12:03

The Henry brothers are not both convicted criminals and to call it a Ponzi scheme is inaccurate and defamatory.

[rackersthedon] 04/1/2024 07:55

He drinks. Then regrets. Common trait for those with mythomania.
