    Molecule8 Request for Info / Legal Case

    No, there won't be any more figures from Molecule8, Willy Wonka or any other, the company has been closed down.

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    I'm sorry if my post came across that I was recommending anyone to do business with Vijay, I absolutely do not. The question was how asked how people could order, my advice was not to pre-order and, if someone really wanted the figure, they would have ample opportunity to so when it was actually...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    I can't say exactly what his thought process is but as I said, he has told me that he thinks he is still the right person to be in charge of the company. I would imagine the plan is for the website to be going back up at some stage. Whether that actually transpires or not though depends upon a...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    I've not seen a full prototype of the figure yet, just of various components of the whole but as I said the updates I've seen are far from comprehensive, it may be that the prototype is ready. Why it wouldn't be shown if so is beyond me but so is the logic behind many of the business decisions...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    Well if this was a movie that would definitely be the surprise ending in the final reel! And don’t think that I haven’t considered turning this into a movie as a way to get my money back!! There’s a lot of strange stuff that went on behind the scenes that I've been finding out about these...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    I wasn't actually ever the Secretary of Ignition but I was the Director and Company Secretary at a company called Digi-Guys. It was a small company initially with just a couple of employees and we produced computer graphics. We actually produced the first CGI versions of the BBC 2 logo and it...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    In the unlikely event that I could get control of the company I think it would need to be rebranded. It would probably be too soon to be done in time for Willy Wonka but I think I would want to have as fresh a start as possible. But it would be a monumental task trying to regain the community's...

    Thank you very much for your message of support. I intend to get justice out of this one way or another, its not something that I can let go.

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    Definitely looking to take this to court. It was the reason for my initial post here, to reach out to anyone that had any info that might be useful and it has been very helpful. I may need to prove fraud against him though because otherwise it is too easy to just bankrupt the company and walk...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    A little bit more info on all of this for those that are interested. This is more personal between Vijay and me than it is of the conduct of M8 towards artists, employees and companies though. The shareholding between Vijay and I was always supposed to be equal however in early 2017 Vijay told...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    I am a member of OSR but have never posted there, I have always liked to read and follow the news though. I would be happy to post information there as I have here. I believe that most people who have information have already been in touch but it may be possible that there are still others...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    Thank you for your message and yes I agree, in hindsight I should not have allowed the restaurant address to be used for the returns. I am a member of one sixth republic but have not posted anything there. My initial reason for the post here was to try to contact people who had been involved...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    Yes I know this, there are 3 companies for Molecule 8, one registered in each of London, Hong Kong and LA. This has been the case for about 3 years, none of these have ever been registered to the restaurant address. Its a simple matter to check the company registrations for each one in each...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    I'm very sorry, I don't understand what you mean here exactly. The restaurant is a restaurant, there is no toy shop there. People are served Thai food,not offered products to buy from Molecule 8. The address was used only for people to send returns back to. It was never advertised as a Molecule...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    I asked for the address to be stated as Molecule8 c/o Kinkao Thai Restaurant, it was never stated that the address belonged to Molecule8 or redirected to the restaurant surreptitiously. I did not think that it was misleading customers perceptions to have returns sent here in this manner. I...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    The restaurant being used as the address to send returns to does belong to me and my wife, she is Thai. At the time Vijay asked to have a UK address for returns I saw no issue with it. It was one on the few good customer service acts I had seen the company do, not making European customers have...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    Yes, that is my concern when I consider this too. I am undecided as to whether even if I were able to take control there would be any point to trying to repair the reputation of the company or simply to try and close things out as fairly as possible to all those concerned. The problem is that...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    Even without paperwork, the work would belong to the artist unless it can be shown that they were paid for the work. Even an email sent to enquire about hiring an artist is sufficient proof that the work done is theirs. As I said though, this is in principle, in practice many times the...

    Molecule8 John Lennon UPDATE 5/10/18 - SCAM COMPANY!

    Nothing belongs to Vijay personally. If I am able to get anything from the company will depend upon what resolution is reached be it through the courts or settled beforehand. I believe that work that Artists have not been paid for still legally belongs to them. That is a great simplification of...
