"Mark has had it EXTREMELY tough both personally and professionally over the past few months"

anything that Mark has had to endure has been self inflicted, he says that he will not accept negativity yet it is going to get increasingly negative & he is going to have to face it, it is not the kind of negativity that you can reject by saying "guy's i'm logging off for two weeks to focus" focus on what? FFS,
Byronp stated in his " i'm outa here" letter that Marks fiance left him, in actual fact the reverse is true, Mark terminated his relationship with Kate & then was shocked when she moved on,

"it was just bad luck"
no, this is not the case, this defense will never work, this was a concentrated effort to extract funds from whoever,however,whenever,

"to keep himself from spiralling (SIC) into depression", again, totally self inflicted, Mark is guilty of having used this tactic to gain sympathy in the past,

"I still consider Mark a friend and knowing how driven he is to build a successful business I know he will keep trying until he gets it right. If/when that happens I know the sort of person he is and he will do his best to make things right with the investors in Banx".

Mark will not build a successful business, he is locked into the get rich quick at all cost mentality, he will burn more people if he is allowed to escape, and when you say that he will do his best to make things right, what does this mean"?, it is a hopeless open ended promise in an attempt to deflect legal action & keep his investors in a Lyford controlled environment, let's be honest, Marks best has so far been completely inept & inadequate at best & just utterly crap & crooked at worst
