A truly incredible story here from @liamthorp.bsky.social , involving the claims of three men and how they invested thousands of pounds into proposed art sales by their friend and neighbour, losing nearly all of their money.

I've been working on this investigation for four months. It has taken a huge amount of effort amid ongoing legal battles.

One of the most fascinating tales I've ever covered.

This is a premium article because we hope it shows the kind of detailed investigative journalism people will pay for.

Last summer I started playing padel & was hooked right away. Many others are in the same boat & I've been wondering why.

This week I played at Ignite Padel's Speke venue & spoke to Chris Watson and Tom Buck to try and find out why the sport is so popular.
