The Bakewell saga continues over here:

with a success story and a new beginning!

Or did you mean to post in this thread? 

His girlfriend's Facebook is gone now, also:  https://www.facebook.com/jenell.sale

fwiw, it seems likely that Ian Bakewell canceled his prior cell phone, the one he self-dox'd, around the first week of April 2013.

The number has been resold, however, and the poor chap who own's Ians prior number is getting "a lot of calls" for Ian.  The new owner of Ian's old digits, said he got the new phone number about 2 weeks ago (~ April 10th or so).

Wow!!

Cool work, thanks 

Restored and added some comments. 

Thanks John, we really appreciate the name change- nice wording 

All I have is this.

Here is a wayback machine snapshot of page 2 the OP from March 5th 2013:

Thanks John! I wonder if the forum saves previous edits.. (probably not)

Done. Anyone knows his previous data in there?

So you all know where he lives and nobody has paid him a visit? You should set an example to other people thinking about becoming scammers.

Could a moderator rename this thread? The current title, "Closed", is not very descriptive, it should go back to the previous title.

To Ian Bakewell.

Ian, on April 1st, 2013, you froze the Bakewell asset on Bitfunder, telling Ukyo that you would be contacting and dealing with the shareholders to quote from your skype conversation with Ukyo:

"I will be dealing with the company through the forum from now on."

Not one of the shareholders has heard anything from you since that date.

The shareholder group, now demands that you contact us to discuss the future of Bakewell.

Please PM nameface, strello, wisard, MikeMark, fourd00rgtz, or scrybe, as they are the most active of the shareholders online.

We demand you respond to this message before 12.00 UTC Wednesday April 24th 2013.

If you don't respond by that time, we will be taking further steps to recover funds and assets that you have stolen from us.

This message has been posted to the original Bakewell thread, and emailed to your known email address, [email protected].

The Bakewell Scam story continues over here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bakewell-action-proposal-call-for-volunteers-172471

And it's starting to get interesting...

To answer that one first, Ukyo, apparently. I and others have been posting directly at him in Bitfunder threads asking for his response. So far not a word from him. This is very disappointing behaviour from the face of Bitfunder, and maybe suggests some sort of collusion in the scam. /deliberate provocation!

I think that a lot of usagi's suggestions are very useful. Thanks very much to usagi and all other posters for your support here. I think part 1 is essential:

1. Immediately, we need to appoint an interim director of BAKEWELL. Everyone propose someone or someone volunteer. We then run a shareholder motion.

I would love to volunteer myself, but I'm currently seriously sick in hospital, just a day out of intensive care, and just don't have the health for it right now. I only have the strength for sporadic rabble rousing, off the wall suggestions and occasional support.

I believe that we might have an ideal opportunity here to:

1. Maybe get something recovered. We have to block the Avalon delivery now. There has not been anything like the idea of a shareholder takeover suggested in the Bitcoin world yet as far as I know. Now, as there is clearly massive new interest in Bitcoin, is the time. He has mismanaged this whole business from day one, we've trusted him with our money, and he has continuously treated all his shareholders like dirt.

2. I also think usagi is spot on that we need someone in Canada to contact the local authorities- police, local lawyer, and financial authorities. Any Canadians out there who can get this in motion, and soon. fourd00rgtz- can you do any of this stuff? A slush fund is probably a very good idea.

3. Publicise the scam as widely as possible. Maybe helping the future scam deterrent factor, helping the whole bitcoin community.

4. Publicly humiliate this little creep, and attempt to shut down as much as possible of his online life. As much negative info as possible should be posted to as many places and people which may have any interest in him. Friends, if any, family, acquaintances fom the past and any of his other areas of interest, second life etc.

I am surprised about the lack of response so far from ex-Bakewell shareholders. I wonder if the thread title change has confused people. I think we should start a new thread in Securities with Bakewell in the title. Something like "Bakewell scam recovery/ shareholder takeover/ scam deterrence. Call for support from shareholders and the community" Crap title, eh?

I've just seen LoweryCBS's comment as I went to post this. Yep, anything's possible, but all the signs so and a huge chasm of silence smells very bad to me. Do we really want to wait for his short gamble to pay off, just to let him fuck us over again?

Of course, in a couple of hours Ian might be in-the-money on his short.

We can go this route. We need to talk to someone at Bitfunder now. Who's in charge there?

Great work you guys!  I knew Officer Pond would get the testosterone/aggression/motivation flowing.   

So who is going to camp out on Bakewell's doorstep and sign for the Avalons (using the docs he kindly provided of course)?   

Or might it be easier to "prove" you're Bakewell to Avalon and have them re-routed?   

Good luck, you guys, Although I have no skin in this, I seriously considered investing 6 months ago.

Don't let this creep get away with it.
