Dr Downs says the establishment of a loan trust, underwritten by the Manx and British governments, would be a way of resolving the problem for some 4,000 depositors, who have still only received half of the money they invested in the bank.
The group has already spoken via advisors to some key members of the UK Treasury Select Committee which has been looking into the collapse, and Dr Downs says they were supportive of the idea:
