One idea.
Years of building.
A story still unfolding.

From a small office to an international payments business

Four people. An office for two. A very big idea.

The idea grew out of my previous work in payments. Encouraged to build a business of my own, I started Hexopay. There were nights sleeping in the office and days when four of us worked in a space meant for two.

We built connections, developed the technology and brought in people to support an international operation. My ambition was to make payment integration simpler for gaming businesses, while investing in leadership, compliance and the next stage of growth.

I left my leadership roles in June 2025. I remain committed to protecting my position as founder and shareholder through the legal process. The sections below distinguish my account, public records and the status of requests I have made.

Keystone Law
Christopher Botsman

Accuracy and handling of information

I have raised formal concerns about Christopher Botsman, the Keystone Law solicitor representing Hexopay in its litigation against me.

• Transaction references: I have asked for correspondence referring to separate cryptocurrency transactions, including a returned transfer and a separate Binance claim, to be checked and any inaccuracies corrected.
• Access to funds: I dispute the interpretation of my correspondence as acknowledging access to funds and have asked that my actual words be considered in context.
• Personal financial information: I have requested clarification of the source and permitted use of information associated with my family proceedings. I do not claim that unlawful disclosure has been established.

I have asked Keystone for an independent review. In the SRA matter for which I have verified the decision, the regulator declined further investigation on 8 July 2026. I have since supplied additional information. I have not received confirmation that an investigation has been reopened.

These are disputed issues. Requesting a correction or review does not establish professional misconduct.

UK Cyber Defence Ltd
Peter Bassill

The report and my personal data

I dispute serious allegations in a report attributed to Peter Bassill and commissioned by Hexopay. NEXT.io identified the Cyber Defence report as material relied upon in reporting about me.

I have sent UK Cyber Defence Ltd and Peter Bassill a comprehensive subject access request, an evidence-preservation request and a request for voluntary disclosure. I have also asked the company to circulate my formal complaint to its board.

I am seeking clarity about the sources of my personal data, accuracy checks, processing purposes and distribution of the report. I do not yet know who supplied it to the media or whether any unlawful disclosure occurred. The report also appears in litigation exhibits; its use by a publisher does not itself establish that Bassill or his company supplied it.

On 1 October, Peter Bassill acknowledged the requests and asked for identity verification. I have requested secure verification arrangements and clarification of the responsible entity, report methodology and dissemination. A substantive response remains outstanding. The SAR is not overdue. I have also submitted an early data-protection complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office. No ICO investigation or adverse finding has been confirmed.

The request seeks a preservation response within seven days and a voluntary disclosure response within 14 days of receipt. The SAR has its separate statutory timetable, ordinarily one calendar month, subject to any necessary identity verification and other lawful adjustments. These are requests, not court orders.

Publication-by-publication status

There is more to my story.

I dispute serious allegations reported about me. The existing judgment remains in force while I pursue my challenge. These links identify the reporting and what I have done in response.

Earlier coverage and editorial outreach

My work also featured in SBC News, Payment Expert and Gaming Intelligence. These earlier features are separate from the disputed reporting.

I have approached SBC, iGaming Business/Clarion, SiGMA, Inside Asian Gaming, RollOnFriday, the Law Society Gazette and Legal Futures about my story or public statements. An approach is not an endorsement or confirmation that an outlet will publish.

Public records checked
1 October 2026

The company record matters.

A strike-off proposal is not dissolution and does not, by itself, establish deliberate wrongdoing by a director or shareholder.

Information I am seeking as a shareholder

My position is that requests I have made for company information remain unanswered to my satisfaction. I am seeking the financial, corporate and regulatory information needed to understand and protect my investment. I rely on rights I say arise under the shareholders’ agreement; the extent of those rights and any alleged breach are matters to be established through the proper process.

Regulatory status

The historical records reviewed describe Swiss VQF self-regulatory organisation membership and Canadian money-services-business registration, alongside plans or applications in other jurisdictions. These are not interchangeable with banking licences. I am seeking an up-to-date, entity-by-entity account; I am not asserting here that all permissions have been lost.

Andrew Jones and my governance concerns

I opposed a proposed appointment of Andrew Jones and raised concerns about shareholder pressure and the risks I believed it created for Hexopay. This is my account of the dispute, not a finding that Jones caused the company’s current filing position or regulatory losses. The proposed-appointment material reviewed does not establish that the appointment took effect.

People and public records

The officer records identify David Dudley Evans, Samuel Paul Girvan and Paul Norman James Munro. Andrew Masters’ resignation is recorded on 4 March 2026. Roles and appointment dates must be checked against the relevant company.

Professional profiles: Paul Girvan · Nigel Mackay · Michael Caselli. A profile link identifies a person; it does not establish responsibility for the matters discussed.

Investment background: ALOT and VONROSEN

I identify ALOT Solutions as a shareholder in the Hexopay group. Industry reporting records the 2019 rebranding of Lottoland Solutions’ B2B business to ALOT Solutions. A Gibraltar directory lists ALOT Solutions Ltd at the World Trade Center. I have not verified a current ownership percentage or shareholder ranking for publication.

VONROSEN’s own investment page lists both Hexopay and Lottoland. That is a public portfolio connection; it does not establish ALOT’s current holding, control of either company or involvement in the reporting about me.
