In the latest episode of the Lotto Billions saga, infamous legal eagles Khalid Virani and Franklin Price are back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Their shady joint enterprise, Sagrada Price Limited, just got slapped with an RP07 Notice. Translation? They’ve been evicted from their registered office at Kemp House, London!
Just to be clear, Kemp House is like the Airbnb of business addresses – a professional haven for countless companies. So why did Sagrada Price get the boot? Well, folks, it appears they forgot to pay the rent! This dynamic duo stumbling into financial trouble is as predictable as Virani waking up with a hangover.
This Laurel and Hardy of the legal profession have resumes that read more like rap sheets. Virani, the self-proclaimed “legal counsel” for the notorious Lotto Billions, has previously made headlines for his drunken escapades, involving a bus, a bottle of vodka and a head on collision. Price? He’s made his own headlines after his previous landlord accused him of failing to pay rent on his London flat whilst allegedly blowing money on more exotic “recreational” pursuits. Classy.
In what feels like a punchline waiting to happen, Virani and Price set up Sagrada Price Limited, promising to guide high-net-worth individuals in matters legal and financial. With the eviction from their registered office and multiple “strike-off” threats from the UK authorities for dodging regulatory filings, it seems safe to say they can’t even manage their own affairs. Sounds like a case of the “blind (drunk) leading the blind”!
As if their reputations weren’t already in the gutter, Virani and Price are hand in glove with serial conman Nooreddin Valimahomed, the mastermind behind Lotto Billions. Word on the street is they penned threatening letters and emails to Valimahomed’s victims in his recent scams. Birds of a feather, indeed.
Much like the rest of the Lotto Billions gang, Virani and Price are finding that their connection to Valimahomed has done even more damage to their already shady reputations. It’s a case of “guilt by association” on steroids.
With the RP07 Notice adding to their litany of woes, the future looks bleak for Virani and Price. Their days of playing pretend as reputable legal and financial advisers are likely coming to an end.
