Murder, Masonry & the Fake Deed: The Unmasking Begins – Part I

The documents that follow will expose how senior Freemasons connected to the Grand Hall of Freemasonry have used the British offshore islands for decades. Central to this scandal is a fraudulent trust deed created after the murder of Mr James William Durrant — a document that does not contain his name, his family’s name, or his signature. In reality it is a worthless, fabricated deed, yet it has been relied upon by an impostor trustee in Jersey ever since Mr Durrant’s brutal, financially-motivated murder.

The so-called “trustee” in Jersey who claimed to control the deed dated 23 November 1978 was never a legitimate trustee at all. They were self-appointed. In reality, the xxxx Trust Company acted only as fund managers for Mr Durrant during his lifetime — a fact proven by their own letters to him from 1979-1988 requesting payment for the management of his companies. Their later claim to be trustees was entirely false, designed to seize control of the estate after his murder.

Barclaytrust International was Mr Durrant’s appointed fund manager from 1975 to 1979. If his companies and assets were already under Barclaytrust’s management, then it is impossible for a different Jersey trust company to legitimately claim they were the “trustee” of his estate. Their claim collapses immediately — the structures were already being managed elsewhere, proving the later trustee appointment was fabricated.

Multiple lines of evidence prove that the Jersey trust company was never a trustee at all but simply a fund manager following Mr Durrant’s direct instructions. They acted exactly as a fund manager would: transferring money only when Mr Durrant told them to, billing him for their services, and receiving payment from the bank account he controlled that was in the name of the trust, This is not how a trustee behaves — it is how a company providing administrative services behaves.

The company later claimed to have been the “sole trustee” since 23 November 1978. This claim is impossible. All of Mr Durrant’s assets and companies remained under the management of Barclaytrust International well into late 1979. In Isle of Man court proceedings, Mr Edward Jonathan Smalley confirmed he never saw any transfer of assets from BTI to the later trust company, and he believed no such transfers ever took place.

Further evidence from SARS requests for Jordan’s mother and for Dutch appointee Mr Arie Van Der Vaart proves that both individuals were still listed as trustees of the two Jersey companies for decades after 1978 — directly contradicting the claim that the Jersey company was the sole trustee from that date.

Bank statements confirm the arrangement beyond doubt: when the fund manager invoiced Mr Durrant for their services, he personally paid them from the very same trust-named bank account that they later alleged they were trustees of. In reality, after his murder they had no access to that account at all. When they tried to trace it, the Royal Trust Bank in the Isle of Man wrote back stating they had never heard of this trust company, and asked to see a trust deed, as the bank still held only Mr Durrant’s specimen signature.

Because the impostor trustee could not access the account, they pressured Mr Smalley to obtain written authority from Mrs Margaret Durrant. After signing a will that handed Mr Smalley power over the assets, Mrs Durrant suffered a stroke six days later. Months afterwards, Mr Smalley granted the impostor trustee access to the bank account.

Once they finally gained control of the funds, these two parties astonishingly claimed they “did not know” who the true beneficial owners were, and since 1990 they have kept all assets, income and rental proceeds separate on that basis. This allowed them to maintain control of millions by pretending uncertainty over ownership — a position made possible only because the real trustee (Mr Durrant) was murdered and the impostor trustee inserted themselves afterwards.

The Durante family still hold the original bank mandate, and it clearly identifies Mr James William Durrant himself as the trustee — not the fund managers, and certainly not the self-appointed Jersey “trustee.” This single document destroys their entire claim.

Mr Smalley’s own attendance notes record that the bank mandate had mysteriously “gone missing” from the bank. Yet the family possess the mandate, and it proves beyond question that Mr Durrant was the acting trustee and that no transfer of trusteeship ever took place.

Additionally, a letter from the Anglo-Dutch Lodge to Mr Arie van der Vaart in the Netherlands further confirms the true position: Mr Durrant personally asked Mr Vaart to act as trustee. This aligns with the SARS evidence showing Mr Vaart and Jordan’s mother were treated as trustees of the Jersey companies long after the date the impostor trustee falsely claimed sole control.

Below is a letter from Mr Smalley to Mr C. Durante’s UK lawyer. In this letter, Mr Smalley states that the beneficiaries of the remaining Jersey trusts are, “as it currently stands,” the Masonic charities. This creates a major problem for Mr Smalley: in the Isle of Man court he claimed that all earlier trusts were terminated during Mr Durrant’s lifetime. That statement is clearly false. The earlier trust deeds — which the Durante family now hold — do not name any Masonic charities or Masonic organisations as beneficiaries.

This proves that Mr Smalley’s court statements were contradictory and misleading. It also conflicts with what senior Freemason Sean Butler stated publicly on the news: that no Mason can ever use Freemasonry to obtain financial benefit. Yet here we have a trust arrangement in which Masonic charities were positioned as beneficiaries immediately after Mr Durrant’s murder.

This very letter has been sent to the Grand Hall of Freemasonry for comment. As usual, they have completely ignored Jordan’s correspondence.

This image shows Sean Butler of the Grand Hall of Freemasonry — a man who has repeatedly refused to respond to Jordan’s correspondence and who appears determined to avoid addressing the serious issues raised. Mr Butler publicly stated that no Freemason may use Freemasonry for financial gain and that anyone doing so would be expelled. Let us now see what the Grand Hall has to say about Mr Smalley’s letter, which names Masonic charities as beneficiaries, despite the earlier trust deeds (soon to be released) showing no reference to the Freemasons at all. The public will soon see the clear contradiction for themselves.

Below are the attendance notes from a September 1989 meeting involving Mrs Durrant, Mr Smalley, and several lawyers. These notes clearly show references to “Masons’ monies” being held offshore — further proof that Masonic financial interests were involved in the structures surrounding Mr Durrant’s estate.

Below are the Masonic accounts, included so the public can see the scale of money involved and understand the financial context that has been hidden for decades.

After speaking with Jordan, Dr Staples appeared on Sky News and announced that the Masonic accounts would be made public — a decision he took after Jordan offered to return key paperwork to their organisation.

The Freemasons have claimed that they “could never have used” the trust deed in Jersey, and in their email below they attempt to shift the blame onto Mr Arie van der Vaart. In response, Jordan travelled to the Netherlands, located Mr Vaart, and formed a close friendship with him. Very soon, the public will hear directly from Mr Vaart and see all of his correspondence — including the letters from the impostor trustee in Jersey who unlawfully removed him from his rightful trusteeship.

The world’s biggest criminal syndicate — the organisation behind my family’s destruction and multiple connected murders — has enforced a media blackout on this case. This network is also tied to what I refer to as the “Freemasons’ Bank Identity Scam,” which centres on the unsigned, fraudulent trust deed produced immediately after the brutal murder of my grandfather, Mr James William Durrant.

There are thousands of documents and hundreds of recorded calls still to come. I’ll be posting new material every day.
