Here is another blog saying pretty much the same thing ... "Looking for Simon Welsh".
Simon Welsh is not an uncommon name. Click here to see a photo of the Simon Welsh we are referring to, taken in 2006.

I lent money to Simon Welsh because he and his family had become close friends, and during the period of this friendship, were having what I was told were “temporary financial difficulties”. The money was lent out of friendship with no request at the time for interest or any other kind of fee. Sadly, after many months of promises, I am now in court trying to recover my money because he has never (despite the multiple assurances and promises) paid me back a single penny, and because I now believe he may have been less than honest about his ability to repay me from the outset. Whether it was over-optimism on his part, (in terms of his ability to repay) or deception from the start I cannot honestly say, but I do understand that there are other individuals and companies to whom he owes substantial sums, and that he has also not paid back (maybe you are one of them). Last thing I heard was that he had moved to Dubai. Beyond that I can't really help you.
I regret to say that I have recently received very unpleasant phone messages from Simon Welsh because he believes that I created a website about him. He threatened me that he will publish a website containing defamatory "information" about me on a site of his own.... because he thinks it was me that created the site. He’s also threatened that I have “three days to remove the site” and if I don’t, he’ll involve his “People in Manchester” ...whatever that means. I presume it is to be construed as a physical threat.
Because of these threats, I am willing to contribute to your blog and I feel no obligation or need to keep this matter confidential. Believe me it's hard enough having to admit to yourself (let alone others) that you were probably taken for a fool by someone that you thought was your friend. If he’d started to pay back at least some (any) of this money, I might have had a different view of his original intentions, but in the absence of this (or any further communication or assurances from him for many months), I have had to conclude that his intentions may well have been dishonorable from the outset.
Meanwhile, I’ve been advised that justice will ultimately prevail by pursuing the legal route that I have chosen. I wish you luck in your endeavors in finding him (for whatever reason) and will post further if I hear of his precise whereabouts.
Of course if Mr Welsh feels the need to publish defamatory material about me it will be removed, so I am not asking you to remove your blog (and site, assuming it’s also yours) on my account. They are useful in that they may serve as a potential warning to others.
I am interested to hear if anyone else has had similar experiences with Simon Welsh...
JW, Switzerland ( a disappointed, and one time friend of Simon Welsh).
Update: I understand that Simon Welsh is back living in Gstaad, Switzerland. Don't know if this helps you. I don't know his address but he has a representative in Bern whom I can put you in touch with if you are still looking for him.
Thank you for the update. We'd be grateful for any contact info you have.
We found this article recently!

For your information there is also a website that we found promoting Simon Welsh's business activities (link below). We presume it is the same Simon Welsh given where it claims to be situated (Dubai and Geneva). There are phone numbers and email addresses so should be easy for you to get hold of him. Following the limited enquiries we made, we cannot determine where this business is officially incorporated and the website appears to be an off the shelf product. No doubt you will draw your own conclusions from this. We hope that this is helpful to you.

I find it amusing that this blog goes to great lengths to suggest that Simon Welsh is somehow absconding or otherwise "in hiding" - There is no need to look for him as he is not hiding. He is a successful business man who operates out of Gstaad but also spends time in Spain and Monaco. If you are looking for Simon you'll find him at many of the big polo events and usually his team is on the winners rostrum from what I have observed. I think Simon is a good guy and a great servant to polo. Just saying as this blog looks like it is artifically trying to create the impression that he is something of a fugitive - totally untrue and very misleading - I am surprised the host of this site has not been compelled to remove this defamatory and unsubstantiated content. Anybody who would like to contact me directly can reach me on patrizia_pereira@gmail.com - I detest cowards hiding behind internet anonymity.
Complete nonsense as you say Patz - Simon is a good friend to polo and a great friend - I am always bewildered by these internet trolls who have nothing better to do than to try to damage others - peace.
why dont "sea breeze" "mick" and "wasafriendofsimonwlesh" identify themselves and open themselves up to some scrutiny too - I know plenty of ppl in the intelligence business who can easily find out who they are!!!! come on guys come out in the open!!!!

It seems pretty obvious to us that the original notice was posted in order to warn and help others who might not be aware of Mr Welsh's past. It's therefore strange that (certain) recent contributors don't appreciate this, and instead choose to jump to his defence - preumably with little or no knowledge of past events. I should have thought that ths obvious reaction would be to thank the publisher!
We are very pleased to now hear however that Mr Welsh is a respectable and successful businessman, and look forward to him starting to repay some of the huge sums of money he owes to a plethora of people in different countries (fact not fiction). For those of you who are not well-informed, here is the most recent artcle in the Sunday Telegraph we came across, published today.
