2. U.N. FOUNDATION, INC. Fabio Barbosa due diligence for multiple identities used to conceal interests.
Directors with multiple identities compromise audits by concealing interests.
In this due diligence report, information is copied and précised, from the Companies House records. For each director, information about their other appointments, associated to the same identity, is included. This is accessed by clicking on their name. During an audit, these would each be considered for related parties transactions, conflict of interest, and mutual interest.
A search, in Companies House, on each director’s name, locates directors that have multiple identities. These interests are listed herein. These would be excluded from audits of the initial identity and vice versa, because the person is purporting to be multiple people.
The previous report (1) provided analysis of the first four people appointed to the United Nations Foundation, Inc. Two directors have multiple identities registered in Companies House; Baroness Amos and Kofi Annan. Baroness Amos has registered 4 identities in Companies House has failed to register her interests in IM01 Limited, Devas Club, Serious Trust Limited and Universities UK, in the relevant Lords’ Register of Interests. Kofi Annan has three identities registered in Companies House, purporting to be three people for his appointments to the United Nations Foundation, Inc, The International Crisis Group and The Elders Foundation. The use of multiple identities conceals interests, which are then excluded from consideration for related party transactions, conflict of interest and mutual interest, corrupt audits associated to Kofi Annan’s interests.
Continuing, with due diligence of the directors of the United Nations Foundation Inc.

James David Knight, whose company Keystone Law Limited provides secretarial services to 43 active companies, has created two identities, in Companies House; he is purporting to be two people. Audits and due diligence of his first identity would be unaware of Keystone Law (Guernsey) Ltd, which is controlled by Keystone Law Limited. Whilst Keystone Law (Guernsey) Ltd is recorded as dormant, the law requires that it must still be accounted for, and disclosed.
James David Knight’s multiple identities corrupts the audits and due diligence associated with him. Establishing duplicate identities to conceal interests, deliberately, is fraudulent. The test for whether the second identity was created deliberately to conceal interests, is whether Keystone Law (Guernsey) Ltd is declared within the accounts of Keystone Law Limited.
The most recent accounts of Keystone Law Limited were accessed in Companies House, made up to the 31st January 2023.
Neither Keystone Law (Guernsey) Ltd nor Audley Business Services Ltd are disclosed in the accounts as associated undertakings.
The Keystone Law website discloses several associated companies, including Keystone Law (Isle of Man) Ltd. However, it does not disclose its association to Keystone Law (Guernsey) Ltd and Audley Business Services Ltd.
I allege that James David Knight has committed fraud by false declaration, to create duplicate identities, and fraud by failing to disclose information, by failing to disclose Keystone Law Limited’s associated interests; Audley Business Services and Keystone (Guernsey) Limited. I allege that his motive in creating the duplicate identity was to conceal Keystone Law Limited’s control of Keystone (Guernsey) Limited from auditors and anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing due diligence. This risk is that James David Knight is involved with money laundering and terrorism financing. I request an investigation into transactions associated with Keystone (Guernsey) Limited and Audley Business Services.
Summary: We started looking at Keystone Law Limited because it is the secretary of a company, Fipp Limited, of which Fabio Barbosa was a director from 23 September 2013 to 25 March 2015. Fabio Barbosa used a duplicate identity for this appointment, which conceals this interest from audits and due diligence associated with the United Nations Foundation, Inc. This Keystone Law Limited identity has registered 78 companies, 43 of which are active (the most recent 20 are listed above).
Test for additional corporate identities for Keystone Law Limited
A search on Keystone Law Limited returns 18 identities that use this name that use the same correspondence address 48 Chancery Lane, London, United Kingdom, WC2A 1JF, or variations of the same address. There’s one Keystone Law Limited identity registered with the correspondence address, Audley House, 13 Palance Street, London, United Kingdom, SW1E 5JH. Given that James Knight is also a director of Audley Business Services and this the address refers to Audley House, they are likely associated. So, this identity will be included in the analysis below. Each identity has just one appointment, these are described below, in reverse order from that presented in Companies House.

A search on this registration number returns: No company. A search on the number, returns Legal Notices : Keystone Law, GB 004 5967 77 is the VAT number of Keystone Law (Isle of Man) Limited.
Keystone Law Limited, acting as a corporate director, referenced an illegitimate company number as its corporate owner. This “mistake” would cause a false non-match error in auditing and due diligence software, which would result in this identity’s association to Keystone Law (Isle of Man) Limited not being identified, when it should have been.
This is an example of how errors corrupt audits. Companies House’s weak deduplication system, which allows these multiple identities to be created, is a weakness that criminal directors of companies can take advantage of to launder money and for trafficking products. They can also be used to finance terrorism. The risk that duplicate identities present to the public’s best interest is high because they breach Anti-money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing legislation. Police investigation is indicated as required.

Jan Bonde Nielsen purports to be two different people in Companies House, this compromises all audits and due diligence that involve him. His active directorship of Farm Africa Limited, and past directorships of Sidai Africa Limited and Farm Africa Intellectual Property Limited are concealed, by virtue of the fact that they are held in a separate identity, as if they belong to another person.
It is possible to create a second identity accidentally. If this is the case, Jan Bonde Nielsen would register, on the Virunga Foundation website, his interests in the other companies.
The Virunga website was located using Google and the directors’ profiles were located. Jan Bonde Nielsen states in his biography:
Jan Bonde Nielsen has extensive business experience, with a career spanning infrastructure projects around the world. He has maintained a close connection with Africa throughout his life, playing an active role in the charity FARM-Africa since its foundation, and acting as director of the veterinary organisation, SIDAI.
In this statement, Jan Bonde Nielsen discloses “the charity FARM-Africa” and “director of the veterinary organisation, SIDAI.” When audit software draws on this information and searches for registrations related to “FARM-Africa”, a false, non-match error will be returned, because the hyphen makes FARM-Africa a different entity to Farm Africa. Similarly, audit software searching on “SIDAI” would not be linked to Sidai Africa Limited. Therefore, whilst it appears as if Jan Bonde Nielsen has declared Farm Africa Limited Sidai Africa Limited, on the Virunga Associates website, to automated audit and due diligence software, referring to this record, he has not, because he has not declared the legally correct name. He has not disclosed his prior involvement with Farm Africa Intellectual Property Limited, which is a requirement for transparency and accountability, since conflict of interests with past interests is a risk that audits assess.
This is evidence that Jan Bonde Nielsen has acted deceptively by creating a duplicate identity in order to conceal his interests in Farm Africa Limited, Sidai Africa Limited and Farm Africa Intellectual Property Limited from audit and due diligence of Virunga. This compromises the audits of these organisations.
I’ve reproduced below the institutional setup of the Virunga Foundation as described on the Virunga website. This webpage is deceptive, only the second paragraph is visible, until the text highlighted, for copying, then the first and last paragraphs become apparent. I have emphasised text in bold that I will be referring to later.
Institutional setup
Virunga National Park is part of the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (ICCN) which is an institution of the Democratic Republic of Congo, (DRC), responsible for the protection of nature. The Virunga Foundation (VF) is a charitable organization under British law, whose mission is to contribute to the protection and development of the park.
In 2015, the ICCN and the Virunga Foundation entered into a cooperation agreement – a public-private partnership – running until 2040. While the organisations are separate, in the field, ICCN staff and Virunga Foundation employees work under the authority of a single management.
Several legal entities support the implementation of Virunga’s activities. They were established to contribute to the well-being of communities neighbouring the Park and to ensure its financial autonomy through the creation of new revenue streams. All entities are limited liability companies with a social purpose.
This declaration regarding the institutional setup omits to mention the company known as Virunga Foundation, Farm Africa Limited and Sidai Africa Limited.
A search in Companies House on “Virunga Foundation”, returns a corporate identity with this name. The details of this identity are:

Conclusions
To be continued…
Red flags for a cartel and coup d'état. Fabio Colletti BARBOSA, UN, has multiple identities and is an active director of FIPP LIMITED. KEYSTONE LAW LIMITED is the secretary of FIPP Limited and of BASED MEDIA LIMITED. Toby Daniel Moorsom Young, journalist and activist, is a director Based Media Limited . He also has multiple identities and fails to declare transparently multiple interests including British Friends of Israel and Moynitrust. This is evidence of an Interlock between the linked directorates of Fabio Barbosa and Toby Young.
