Today is March 18, 2024, which means that it's just over four years since Norton Motorcycles, under its former administration by Stuart Garner, entered administration. That also means it's slightly over four years since we first got a glimpse of how deep and ugly the Norton pensions scam really was.
For those unfamiliar, here's a quick overview. In 2012 and 2013, over 200 regular working people in England were persuaded to transfer a total of around £11.5m into Norton pensions funds that were, almost a decade later, found to be part of what's legally known as a "pensions liberation fraud" scheme in UK parlance.
