This relates to the answer you gave to "mybrni-ga". I found what you
wrote very informative, but a couple of details remain:
(1) The websites to which you refer have a Dr. O.Brian as team member,
and although mybrni-ga specifically inquires about this person, you
did not respond directly. So, this is my first question.
(2) Your "clincher" refers to certain photographs, specifically "...
Sheila Holmes has now become Catherine Rice ...  On
http://www.peaksecuritiesbv.com/manprof.htm Christopher Cole has
become Joachim Newell ..." But on the MFT webpage, I find no reference
to either Rice or Newell. Instead, the only  3 names I see on this
page, and saw at the time of mybrni-ga's question on May 9, are
Anthony Brent, Michael Wallace and Dr. Brian O.Brian.

This may make no difference in your conclusion, but I wonder if you
could clarify this issue, hopefully w. particular reference to Mssrs.
Brent, Wallace and O.Brian.

ps. I'll gladly pay more to get the answer. Thanks in advance. jgsf

Dear ntili-ga 

Thank you for your question re
http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=201454
As you know it is a matter for mybrni-ga whether I answered her
question fully.

However, to answer your questions I have now carried out further
research and these are my findings.

I was unable to find any information to establish the bona-fides of
Dr. Brian O’Brian Jnr.

The company address is in Spain. The company does not appear on the
Bank of Spain’s list of regulated institutions.
http://www.bde.es/infogene/be/renl184.doc

The company describes themselves as international so I carried out
checks in the US.

Neither he, nor the company is not registered with the National
Futures Association. http://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/Search.aspx

Morgan Finance Trust is not registered with the SEC as an Investment
Adviser Firm
http://adviserinfo.sec.gov/IAPD/Content/Search/iapd_OrgSearchInit.asp

I referred in my previous answer to the same words appearing on the
site of Morgan Finance Trust and GeorgeTown Capital. Further research
now shows the same occurs with the ‘team members’ of both companies.

Incidentally, GeorgeTown Capital is registered with the SEC as an
Investment Adviser Firm. Enter the name Georgetown in the search box.
Click ‘Go’ and follow the links.
http://adviserinfo.sec.gov/IAPD/Content/Search/iapd_OrgSearchInit.asp

Now look at http://morganfinancetrust.7p.com/our_team.html
and compare with
http://www.moseleyinvestment.com/Advisors/georgetowncapital/home.asp?title=Who+We+Are

Anthony Brett has the same photograph as "Michael F. Curatolo,
Financial Consultant with Georgetown Capital Group, Inc. (17 years
experience in investment analysis)."

Of Anthony Brett it is said "He is a great visionary. Shortly after
graduating from the University in 1975 with a degree in management, he
entered the financial industry knowing it`s where he would make his
mark."

Of GeorgeTown’s President it is written,
"Joseph V. Curatolo, president and owner of Georgetown Capital Group,
is a visionary. Shortly after graduating from the University of
Buffalo in 1976 with a degree in management, he entered the financial
industry knowing it`s where he would make his mark."

With the Morgan Finance Trust page open, on your browser click on
>View >Source. This will bring up the HTML which is the code which
your browser reads to produce the web page.

The image of Brett has the label ‘michael_c.jpg’ This is the same
label that appears on the GeorgeTown site for Michael F. Curatolo’s
photograph.

Michael Wallace has the same photograph as "Daniel Martin, Financial
Consultant with Georgetown Capital Group, Inc. (12 years experience in
investment analysis)"

The image of Wallace is labelled ‘daniel_m.jpg’. The same label that
appears on the GeorgeTown site for Daniel Martin’s photograph.

Andrew George Jnr. Has the same photograph as "Edward Harof, Financial
Consultant with Georgetown Capital Group, Inc. (17 years experience in
investment analysis)"

The image of George is labeled ‘edward_h.jpg’. The same label that
appears on the GeorgeTown site for Edward Harof’s photograph.

As at the time of posting this answer the photograph of Sheila Holmes
is still on the page at the bottom of
http://morganfinancetrust.7p.com/our_team.html
and still appears on the site 
http://www.peaksecuritiesbv.com/manprof.htm
I am unable to identify who this person is or another copy of the
photograph.

The photograph of Dr Brian O.Brian. Jnr is interesting. Hover you
cursor over the picture and the name ‘Brendan Smith’ comes up. Yet the
image is called ‘donald.jpg’. Clearly confusion abounds. I was uanble
to identify another copy of this photograph.

You observe on the "MFT webpage, I find no reference to either Rice or
Newell." That is correct. It is on
http://www.peaksecuritiesbv.com/manprof.htm Christopher Cole appears.
He becomes Joachim Newell on
http://inter-merchantbank.com/our_team.html

In conclusion, ntili-ga, you may consider that taken together, both
these answers show that any dealing with Morgan Financial Trust must
be dealt with extremely cautiously. I must remind you that Google
Answers is not a replacement for legal and financial advice and I
advise you to seek the opinion of an expert in the field of banking
and finance.

I hope this answers your question. If it does not, or the answer is
unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research before
rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request as
soon as I receive it.
Thank you
