Paul Downes- A successful midlands businessman

In Feb. 2009 he spent a fortune hiring a fairytale castle in Jamaica

Paul also invited beautiful Ukrainian women some of them part-time models for an
all-expenses paid two-week holiday.
Paul’s plan was that one of the women would become his wife. I hardly knew Paul at
all when he asked me to come along and film. So, I had no idea what to expect but
while stars in Jamaica I came face-to-face with something amazing, something rarely
captured on camera what at first appeared to be an innocent fantasy became ever
more bewildering. Although confused and disorientated at times I was eventually
able to make some sense of Paul’s extraordinary mind.
It was a fantasy, and I believed every part of it and of course you spend ridiculous
sums of money cost me about a quarter of a million dollars the overall trip and you
think what on earth have I done that’s one of the things that you do is you just as you
spend every penny you get your hands up.

Paul hired tour guide, coaches, photographer and the documentator to record the
whole adventure for posterity. Paul told the documentator that he’s elaborate plan to
find a wife but taken a several months to organize.
Ukrainian women tend to be among the world’s most beautiful and they also have
great morals and family values and that’s what I wanted in a wife, so I sent out 400
flyers in Lugansk put them in beauty salons have them handed out at the metro
stations with my profile in Russian these ladies are the sort of finalists so to speak
and I hate to put that in that terms but they’re my finalists. Because I intend to marry
one of them.

Excited for the moment

(How’s you’re feeling about the whole thing?)

- I mean naturally I’m excited that because of all the hard work has been put in
prior to getting to this stage and you know even though I consider myself very
scientific in the way I do things I did meet 10 of the 13 girls and they were all
the lovely ladies, and I could marry to any one of them.
Very Dramatic

(So what’s gonna happen here for?)

This would be where we all have all our meals. I will sit at the head of the table and I
will rotate the girls from oldest to youngest round that round of me in the center and
then you and the other people will be able to mix with them at the far end of the table
but at least it’ll mean that I’ve given each girl equal dinner breakfast can’t cut equal
lunch, equal dinner time to convince me that they’re the right one for me and I
appreciate I have to be the right one for them I’m not proclaiming to be perfect.

(I would like to hear about how you made your money and what you did to be
successful?)

Well, I’ve done a hundred deals 200 deals

George Holdsworth (Friend and Business Colleague)

- Paul was always very good at talking people into proposals and propositions.
Business propositions always very good at it.

Pete Siriani (Friend and Business Colleague)

- Paul was probably the sharpest man I’ve ever met when it came to numbers,
when it came to business. Paul was on it he constantly had different business
deals going on people pushing business plans back and forth across his desk
he was very sharp and very on it.

As well as an instinct for business Paul had other talents that started at an early age

(Paul age 9 1968) (Born 1959) (Paul age 3 months)

Irene Downes (Mother)

- Yes, I think he was nine when he first started, he started to count even his
dad instead of my husband playing golf he devoted his time to teaching Paul.
Because he was young and equally sure that he got potential.
 - I got it very personally through his father really, because his father there was
his great mentor initially with his golf game and introduced him to the club
everybody knew and liked to stand very much indeed so I got having game
with this very precocious ten-year-old with this amazing talent for the game he
was European junior champion at 17 he was the English amateur champion
and he’s played some very fine players. Faldo woosnum, Lyle, and the junior
level at that sort of age never lost to any of them.

(Paul age 10 1969)

- After a series of golfing triumphs Paul negotiated a brilliant property deal, he

became a millionaire and moved to palm beach Florida.

- Paul signed up to an exclusive gold club called adios.

- Adios is a all-men’s club two hundred and ninety nine members I believe Paul
is one of the first 50 members. It’s basically it’s made up of bunch of very
wealthy people above billionaires to a high-profile sports athlete.

- Attached EOS Paul indulged in another passion he’d had from an early age.
Paul was very good at gambling, Paul is a very heavy gambler the group that
he played in they used to have very high matches they were they would place
five to then thousand dollars five ways which at the end of the day resorts to a
lot of money than afterwards they would go up and sit around the club and
they would play poker for a large sum of money.

Paul
- When I was in the states we used to play a poker game with pot limit Texas
Hold’em 10,000 dollars buy-ins but of course she honored any decent pair
you go all-in so that’s puts 10,000 on the table then you bring out another
10,000 and then another 10,000 before you know it somebody’s sit down on a
game and lost a quarter of a million dollars and I was of course the best
player in the game the secret was not to win every time because I could have
done that in my b## #### sleep it was to stay in the game long enough to do
anything which meant that I had to lose for the part of the time so calm when
all the time but I could have and I proved that it’s adios Golf club on my way
out. They all banned me from the game.
 - Unfortunately, from Paul’s point of view he got so good that after winning 23
times in a row we ultimately reluctantly decided we could but couldn’t afford to
have him in the game any longer, so he was a victim of his own success.

- The group he played, and they really didn’t like each other they weren’t really
friends, but it was high action they all enjoyed the gambling and they all kind
of put up each other for that reason. I mean when you’re writing for fifty and a
hundred thousand. You know every day the warmness is not there.

- Pool found little affection at the golf club and didn’t seem to be able to find it
outside of the club either. He didn’t date much once in a great while you he
would you know you would hear that he went on a date. Paul loves women
but when it came to that the very outgoing attack everything guy was very
maybe if you wanted to use the word shy when it came to women. I would
think would be a good description.

Paul
- This one is the former Miss Ukraine that was what she wrote I don’t even
know how to start I want to tell you about myself but I hope I was able to do
this when we meet I just wanted to tell you in advance thank you so much for
this trip I had a lot of plans but now I may have changed everything to come
with my best wishes Olga which is very nice little hello note and she was miss
Ukraine. Two years ago.
There she is and Miss Bikini universe as well so do you tell me what what man of 49
that’s never been married. Couldn’t you think I could fall in love with her and that one
is the one that I though from just a one photo point of view really did it for me I mean
that one photo is seeing her walk down that catwalk I don’t know she didn’t win Miss
Ukraine looking like that.

(So who’s that one again?)

That’s marino which one do you prefer of those three?

- Well I mean I am concentrating on the focus of the cameras they all look
really interesting the end of the day actually you know one person look slightly
more attractive is not really you.
 - You You can’t be that shallow to say that it’s only about physical appearance
but it’s just because of who I am that I’ve got an opportunity at the coming up
to the age of 50 where I’m going to end up being with a young beautiful
woman and I’m very excited about that and now is the right time for me to get
married because how much longer do I want to wait If I’m gonna have children
and I’d like to have children.

Paul Behavior
It turned out to be related to an incident that happened six years ago. Just as now
Paul was on holiday in Jamaica he came back after about three days and he
seemed different he seemed very emotional, high, strung out in a way. We noticed
throughout his week before he went back to Jamaica that he all of a sudden started
smoking pot. I did not know Paul to ever do any drugs or anything of that nature he
goes back to Jamaica. We start receiving wild phone calls 3 days after he's there
using phrases such as binary bonding in Africa. He was having telepathy with Steven
Hawkings and everybody was we were gonna be the richest people in the world.
Kelly and myself initially thought that he was on some heavy drugs it was more than
the pot he has to be on something down there somebody's got him hooked. Kelly
Jones was about to fly Jamaica to find out what was going on but before he left news
came that Paul had been committed to a psychiatric hospital. He'd met a woman a
marine biologist and they had some sort of conversation later he went to her room to
ask her to marry him.

Paul went there extremely manic and he basically kicked her door and the door
actually hit her security came and grabbed Paul in the process of taking Paul away
and Paul frees.

Paul can't swim leaps off this pier

Paul looking up in the air with his hands out saying Steve and Steve and come on
send me and a you know he's any swearing during the process and send him a
message. I don't know what to do he's doing everything you ask help me out and
they strapped him down and took him away and put him into this hospital.

Came along 3 or 4 people put a needle to Paul's arm sort of many white coats.

When he's manic there's nothing anybody can say to him that's gonna stop him.
Living out with fantasy

Next day Psychology comes meets with Kelly and turns around and goes have.
Been seeing this this this this this and this Kelly goes wow whatever it is that's that's
it that's whate they're been seeing Kelly goes well to Paul is a manic bipolar one. I
believe from that day on it has been Paul.

Paul completely different person been a roller coaster to say the least for him he
goes from extreme highs to week or two balanced to a massive depression month or
two of balanced and he start the whole cycle back over.

Dr. Benarroche
Manic-depressive Illness or Bipolar Disorder what you have is a dysregulation of
normal emotions that people have like sadness and euphoria or elation when that
regulation doesn't work well then you have a major episode that disables the
individual.

First thing that we tend to with people who are bipolar is to go over in a kind of
educational way what they can expect and what they usually can expect is some
level of cycling that occurs medications are an important factor here a lot of bipolar
individuals don't like to take medications because that makes them too stable for
their tastes and also advised him to refrain from using marijuana.
Marijuana in particular is a very potent hallucinogen for individuals who are prone to
having psychotic symptoms.

Like dreams All the delusions or grandiose plans tend to have a kernel or truth and
sometimes it's difficult to tease out how much is there the actual objective data
versus an embellishment of it.
Interesting about BPD may need a rather important stressor later on it takes a life of
its own so you don't know you no longer need major stressors to trigger it similar to
epilepsy we tend to think about this is very similar to epilepsy in which once you
have several seizures your brain is kindled meaning is far more sensitive to having
an episode without a major trigger ,
