Concern over Titan relaunch
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Government was yesterday urged to take action following a report in The Independent that a money-circulation scheme banned by the High Court could be launched again in the new year. Nigel Griffiths, the shadow Department of Trade and Industry Minister, has written to Ian Lang, President of the Board of Trade, saying he is "very concerned".
The scheme, Titan, was closed down in the High Court in August. It has been claimed that total losses for Titan investors could top pounds 17m. Thousands of people paid four-figure sums to join the Titan Business Club. They would then receive payments from members they recruited.
