If you can show me where the FSA are mentioned then I stand corrected and his 'investment opportunity' is all legit.
I'd just like to clear this up. This won't be covered by FSA regulations, because it doesn't count as a 'regulated activity' under FSMA. To count as a regulated activity, it needs to concern a 'specified investment'. An interest in land isn't a specified investment. So it's not covered, unfortunately.
It'll just get CPO'd.
I don't agree. It's clearly a Collective Investment Scheme, which is regulated.
