According to the Panalba site, "returning to Scotland in 1992. In 1995, he {Jamie Sempill} inherited one of Scotland's oldest titles and took his seat in the House of Lords". I am unaware of any Americans seated in the House of Lords. Is this possible? He did apparently work in the US for a short period, and IF he created a company here and then bankrupted it to avoid paying bills, he wouldn't be the first in any known country. A US corporation, possibly, I have no knowledge about it, but a Scotsman driving the bus. We have legitimate blame for quite enough of our own shenanigans without picking up the blame for others.

Also, in the US, if public money is involved, we tend to consider that all the invitation necessary to show up at the party. Hoops to jump through, maybe, but engraved invite unnecessary.
