According to this article Vivier fought to move the case from Irish courts to New Zealand, where this company’s “Head Quarter” is based in a recent court case in 2022.
Is Vivier based in New Zealand?
Vivier and Company Limited, currently under liquidation, used various addresses in New Zealand over the years until March 2022, including the address of a Golf Course in Dunedin and a church building in Christchurch.
In November 2021, Vivier emailed the following message to the investors:
“After careful consideration we have concluded that it makes commercial and logistical sense for the administration and management of all our operations to be moved to Europe. Accordingly, we have made arrangements with Vivier Management SRL, Romania, to take over the administration of your deposit as well as of our website etc. Your terms and conditions remain unchanged, as do our email contact details.If you have any queries, please let us know.”

At the start of 2022, Martin Haschka, Vivier’s CEO, director and shareholder, informed the investigating authorities that he had resigned from the company over the dispute with higher-ups using his name and signature in Vivier’s correspondence without his knowledge.
In April 2022, Mr Haschka remitted a legal notice to reassign the loan receivable from Larimar Blue issued by Vivier and Company New Zealand in September 2019 to Justice investment Limited (formally known as Vivier and Company with registered address 10 Queen Street, Ipswich, England). Haschka signed the notice on behalf of both UK and New Zealand registered companies as the director. In other words, he attempted to assign to loan receivable from Larimar Blue to himself (as assignee) by himself (as assignor).
The legal notice was drafted on a UK-based law firm’s forged letterhead. None of the solicitors from the firm confirmed their signature on the letter. The notice is witnessed by Ian Leaf’s personal secretary Mirka Klenova based in Spain. Document forgery and misuse of identities of former employers is not new for Vivier. Leaf’s business partner, Kevin MacLeod (AKA Kevin Steele), a former partner at Mishcon (AKA “Princess Diana’s former firm”) was sentenced to a five and a half year jail term for his part in an £18.4 million fraud, after he was found guilty of conspiracy to commit fraud by false representation and conspiracy to use false instruments.

The complex web of the shell companies and financial fraudsters from different countries led by convicted Brit fraudster Ian Leaf abused the limitations of the law to get away with the heinous financial crimes. Vivier’s stance to move the case from one jurisdiction to another is Ian Leaf’s strategy to bleed his opponents in legal cases.
Regardless of which of Vivier’s statements are true and which are not, the truth is people have lost their entire life savings in the hands of criminal mastermind Ian Leaf and his associates. The question remains how and when global law enforcement agencies will bring down this gang.
