Nearly 18 years ago, Cocaine Limited was registered, at Sandtoft Close in Lincoln. It specialises in the production of soft drinks, mineral water and other types of bottled water.
The company’s director, Mr Jebaraj SCREW YOU, appears to be a busy man. He runs five other companies including: Bribery Limited, Bad London Limited, Corruption Limited, I am Bad Limited and London Fashion Industry Limited.
SCREW YOU is, of course, an unlikely surname. Companies House records show that the businessman has changed his name a number of times – from Jeb Kenneth to MR Jeb Kenneth Screw You and finally settling with Jebaraj SCREW YOU. Perhaps these name changes are legitimate, perhaps not.
Intentionally providing Companies House with false information is against the law, but if you dig around for ten minutes on the register, you’ll find all sorts of questionable officer names and strange sounding businesses.
Pablo Escobar is currently running a British company that specialises in the sale of textiles, clothing, fur, footwear and leather goods. A Saudi Arabian national called Donald Duck has been operating an advertising agency out of a Turkish restaurant in Eltham (staff at the restaurant told The Fence they have no connection to Mr Duck).
While there is nothing to say that a real Pablo Escobar hasn’t incorporated a company in the UK – and the electoral roll does show that there are a handful of Pablo Escobars living in the country – other names are undeniably false. Companies House records include officers called Mmmmmmm YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, Jet XXX, and Richard Identity Fraud Found Via These Details! WELCH.
If you want to set up a British company you have to pay £12, and provide three pieces of personal information, such as your town of birth, mother’s maiden name and telephone number. You’ll also have to provide your name and address.
Then you’ll have a bona fide British company in just 24 hours. There is no verification process to make sure that the information you provide is correct.
