"Cadred has been researching into this deal and can confirm this is not a fake. Having spoken to Ms Summers from her office in Dubai, she has confirmed that this is a legitimate deal, and we are waiting for more information from her office regarding the buyer.PRESS RELEASE
Although Angela Summers has had links to Game Frontier in the past, a phone conversation with Jaffer Mir has revealed that they knew nothing of this takeover bid.
After lengthy research we have unearthed the buyer of the CPL brand, however due to current contractual agreements that the buyer is currently involved in, we will not yet reveal his identity.
What we can reveal is that we believe his involvement in CPL will be a big boost for the brand name, and could really turn CPL's fortunes around."
