Well thank you all, the idea was just to see who and what are behind this. Hopefully that wasn't all seen as negative but just the facts?

Hatton Garden was interesting on Google Earth, it looks like a diamond, gold and pawn shop area. So I looked further. https://www.hatton-garden.london/
"Discover London's Historic Diamond District. A short walk from Farringdon and Chancery Lane underground stations, London's renowned district of Hatton Garden is bustling with fine jewellery stores, coffee shops, Leather Lane Market and some of London's most revered food stalls."

Why there are 28 businesses registered at the same single address, most of them shut down, I don't understand. If that was the US I'd say mail drop or law offices that register legal filings.

I'd say that anyone interested, should judge Prodigar based on results, not just looking on the web. Maybe someone who has tried their management? My limited search was just to see what they might be. Personally, I think they (or he) found good collections and artists and wanted to promote those people, with good quality portfolios.

Similar, That's why Deposit is listed in Florida but they are really: (from their own site) Depositphotos is a royalty-free microstock photography agency based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It was founded by Dmitry Sergeev in November 2009 in Kiev, Ukraine.

Here's an interesting five year old interview, where Dmitry mentions that they used to be a file sharing site. The kind that allowed people to share anything, as long as the owner didn't complain. Also his view of Clashshot is good reading. Are they still doing anything? I don't know? But a smart and forward thinking kind of person.

No I don't upload to Deposit, they played with blurred lines and licenses, they aren't for me.

Today, finally,  I received this message:


Francois has sadly passed away and I am his wife trying to sort his business out. As you can imagine, there would be a lot to do but I assure you your work will not be used in any manner.

Discussion closed, I suppose... Francois was the owner of this agency.

Well, at least there is an explanation, even if it is a sad story. But now you know they weren‘t working maliciously. It is probably a very tiny place.
