Manifest was run by serial fraudster Jimmy Alexander James Bennett, a UK national with ties to Dubai.

In addition to his Manifest group of scams Bennett is a registered Director in the following UK companies:

  • Simply Tan LTD (dissolved)

  • The Doorstep Deli Company LTD (April 2024, active)

Bennett’s status after defrauding consumers through Manifest is unknown.

Previously rubbing in his spending of ill-gotten gains on social media to market himself, Bennett now hasn’t posted anything on his accounts since September 2024.
