The Flight of the Phoenix

By Gi Linda-

In Australian courts, news reports and blogs, victims of "Nightcap Nightmare" are warning that sovereignty activists Mark Darwin and Adrian Brennock are selling home sites with idyllic views of Mt Warning on environmentally protected property without development approval.

Victims of Nightcap Nightmare warn that "Freemen" Darwin and Brennock scammed them of life savings, inheritances and much goodwill, making false promises muscled by contrived urgency to induce payment of money into a dubious land-share venture cloaked as a visionary initiative managed by credible and trustworthy professionals.

Under a functional legal system, such dishonest scamsters would be stopped, but Nightcap Nightmare has confronted justice for more than three years in four jurisdictions: the Supreme Court, Federal Court, Magistrates Court and the Land and Environment Court. As "Freemen" they expect the courts to bow to them.

During 2014-15, Adrian Brennock and Mark Darwin solicited “interest” from investors at public events and secured finance without adequate contractual procedure.

Potential investors attracted by online marketing, public presentations and private meetings with Mark Darwin, were deceived by promises about legal advisers, legal structures and process, financial management, potential and permissible land use, property management and the status of development applications for land-share occupancy.

The required payment was $40,000 from mid 2014, then rose to $80,000 in February 2015 and increased to $120,000 by July 2015, with uncertain caps on the maximum number of intended participants.

During 2014-15, Investors provided $1,913,000 in purchase monies for Land, with additional loans and payments of superannuation. These purchase monies were not registered. Most were held on trust by “Community Lawyer” Wroth Wall, principal of Wall & Company Lawyers.

The Crash of the Phoenix

Litigation related to evident "phoenix action" by NightCap Village has been ongoing in NSW Supreme Court and Brisbane Federal Court since 2017 by investors who lost life savings, inheritances and pension funds in mistaken trust of the controllers of the proposed land-share development that began in 2014-15 as "Bhula Bhula Village Community", became "Mt Warning Eco Village" and is now called "NightCap Village".

"He who was but now the sire comes forth from the pyre the son and successor;

Between life and life lay but that brief space wherein the pyre burned."

The Phoenix by Claudian, Roman poet, 4th century

Facts About Mount Warning Eco Village Scam

By Gi Linda.

“Truthology” was the deceptive front used as a database by Mark Darwin and Adrian Brennock in 2014, when they first began calling for investors to buy land and form a “Village Community.”

 Mark Darwin aka 'FYJ Boofhead"

Darwin and Brennock acquired $1.5 million to purchase the land, plus loans and superannuation, and established “Bhula Bhula Village Community”  at 3222 Kyogle Rd, Mt Burrell, NSW, Australia.  

But the “Village Community.” was governed by an improperly executed Trust that enabled Darwin and Brennock to betray the trust of the supposed "unit holders".  

Potential investors were misled by false representations and the silent omission of known restrictions on potential land use.  Investors who paid for the land were then disenfranchised with only a beneficial interest in an empty Trust.

Online “Truthology” marketing material was removed after the land-share scam was exposed in local newspapers in 2016.

Tweed Daily News: "Living in a Nightmare"

Many assurances were given to potential investors that development approval was in process, yet Darwin and Brennock never applied for the required permits, knowing that the land was protected as water catchment for a proposed future drinking water dam.

More than 21 investors who had purchased the communal property at Mt Burrell, were forcibly driven off the land during 2016-17, without return of their funds. 

Despite much pretense, investors have received no restitution as Darwin and Brennock attempt to take private control of the land through a deceptive “phoenix move.”

Adrian Brennock aka "Jimmy the Maggot"

Darwin and Brennock, after fleecing the purchasers of the 640 acre property, are again rattling the can, asking credulous investors to believe their "new promises" and give them money, as they aspire to purchase 3,000 acres and form another “Village Community” on adjoining property, together with landowner Peter van Lieshout.

"Mount Warning Eco Village” is again marketed by Darwin and Brennock with assurances that dwelling is permitted, and cabins are offered for sale. Yet the intended "Eco Village", like the failed "Bhula Bhula Village Community", is located on environmentally protected land. Again, there is NO DA in place for multiple occupancy on the land, and no application for development of a "Village Community" has been submitted to Tweed Shire Council, although Darwin and Brennock are, as before, loudly stating their "intention to extend existing permissions".

Mt Warning Eco Village - baiting with "alternative lifestyle" lures

The continual soliciting by Darwin and Brennock, of "mezzanine finance," "loans,” “advances," “ethical investments,” "superannuation funds"   and “pre-DA purchase of home-sites" on environmentally protected land without development approval has been ongoing since 2014. This is a SCAM that has already left more than 20 investors with trust betrayed and shattered lives, defrauded of over $2 million.

Buyer Be Warned!

Mountains of WARNING!

Beware of Mt Warning Eco Village
By BubbleBurst

Hi there,

I am one of the defrauded investors & unfortunately I know the situation too well. My WARNING is beware of Mt (mountains of) Warning Eco Village. 

Mark Darwin, co-founder Bhula Bhula

This is my opinion of the situation.....the men behind BHULA BHULA & now Mt WARNING (!!!) Eco village are professionals (but not the kind of professionals that I would recommend)....& this is what they do for both a living & fun. 

They target a demographic, look at what makes them tick & sell them a dream based on their ideals.....purely to rip them off....it is not an honest business transaction....though they sell it under this guise. 
 
Darwin & Brennock play this game so much & have mastered it to the point that they now believe they are above the law. 

They use front men who put their arses on the line so legally Darwin & Brennock don't lose. 

While many criticize us who fell into the claws of these deceptive stories, I would point out that some of us actually have never  before experienced such screwed up psychopaths & we actually trust people! 

Darwin & Brennock used a respected community law company.....as a cover. Now this Lawyer has been left in a quandary as the company is subjected to unexpected & unappreciated fallout. 

Many normal, decent people have been left penniless because of these men....but this is not a problem for them, as they aim to continue their 'sales' to a new set of unexpecting victims....


It's a game of cat and mouse, bait and switch & ponzi til you drop....

So the WARNING is....tell your friends & run...
