In the UK since 1999 The Lighthouse International Group (Global) has evolved to survive.
This timeline records the evolution, or creation, of this #A Very British Cult from Business Coaching via an MLM scheme into its current manifestation as a Religious Troll Farm.
The timeline is sourced from LIG Recordings, Personal Memories and Social Media.

2/28/2023 | Charges of False Accounting & Non Cooperation, full day trial set for 28th Mar 23 | |
3/28/2023 | The Second Court Hearing | The Court Reporter |
3/28/2023 | Secretary of State vs. LIG (High Court of Justice, Court no. 21) | |
3/28/2023 | Notes from the Prosecution. | |
3/28/2023 | The first ground is failure to cooperate/lack of transparency, | |
3/28/2023 | Gowling LLC have 117 pages of unanswered letters, phone calls & emails | |
3/28/2023 | ..and failure to produce a document is a criminal offence. | |
3/28/2023 | ..”We can only commit one hour a day to forces like yours, relentlessly working on us.” | Paul is a seasoned entrepreneur and business leader with more than 20 years experience.. |
3/28/2023 | All promises on Lighthouse’s side have been broken.. | |
3/28/2023 | ..analysis of the bank statements, which shows that of the £2.4 million odd that have gone through the bank account, £1.2 million odd, slightly more than half, has gone to Mr Waugh, the bulk of that having gone to him: £1.15 million over the last four years | |
3/28/2023 | So here we have an LLP making huge losses, but has no creditors, whose research has cost multiple millions of pounds – which you won’t see in its accounts – where individuals joining the core team are paying large fees to Mr Waugh for the privilege, where there is a split of money passing into the bank account between Mr Waugh, the associates, and Lighthouse, and yet, its directors consider it isn’t trading. Judge, not all of those statements can be true. | |
3/28/2023 | What we know is that nothing was provided to the investigators by Lighthouse during the course of the investigation. | |
3/28/2023 | We know that Mr Waugh has had £1.15 million over the last four years, so he at least has crossed the VAT threshold. | Declared LIG Turnover = £0 |
3/28/2023 | First, on non-cooperation, the LLP has blatantly failed to cooperate, without providing an adequate justification. Noncooperation is a serious matter with criminal consequences, | |
3/28/2023 | Mr Waugh has positively given instructions that there should be non-cooperation, and he has also taken custody of the LLP’s documents to prevent any possibility of cooperation by anybody else. | |
3/28/2023 | The only thing that the Secretary of State can identify is very large sums of money passing to, in particular, Mr Waugh, as its prime mover. | |
3/28/2023 | As to the filed accounts which have been submitted to Companies House, those are demonstrably wrong, | |
3/28/2023 | Independent scrutiny and investigation of this LLP is required, and the official receiver, as liquidator, will be able to carry out that, endowed with all the further powers under Section 236 of the Insolvency Act, and so on, to enable the affairs of the LLP to be properly investigated [on pain of?] further sanction and contempt of court in due course. | |
3/28/2023 | And it’s that the LLP be wound up, and the costs of the petitioner be paid out of the assets of the LLP, and there’s a date, and the appointment of the official receiver. | |
3/28/2023 | “We don’t have a bank account that’s associated with this company; we don’t have to put any money through this company. None of it exists. So we’re talking about something that doesn’t exist, that’s the first thing.” | PSW Smoke & Mirrors |
3/28/2023 | “The second thing is we are here based on falsehoods, provably so – which we are now proving through IPSO..” | IPSO Ruling |
3/28/2023 | “We’re now proving through the BBC, who are now moonwalking backwards in relation to a planned documentary that they’re putting forward..” | Dream on |
3/28/2023 | “You know, for a full and fair disclosure of the facts, we’d be here for three, four months.” | Probably |
3/28/2023 | “Well, I don’t sign them off, that’s for starters. (Mr X) used to do that..” | The Fall Guy |
3/28/2023 | And they are signed off by Mr Vaughan. But presumably, these are authorised members of the LLP, so- -in a sense, you are bound by his signature. | Fall Guy plan fails. |
