Although this is now becoming a major fraud investigation, there is still the issue of former staff and freelance staff.
While freelancers don't know if they will ever get invoices paid at all for work they did for Arena in the final few months, the staff are in an difficult position of not knowing whether their status is employed or not. Although the firm has ceased trading the administrators have not released them to officially look for other employment.
I have never been employed by Arena, and can only share the staff and freelancers I have spoken to bewilderment at the way the firm has disappeared with little warning, and the mess left behind.
