I have decided to transparently lay bare these things here, to equally give the suspects to either prepare their defense or find a way to resolve the issues before the real pressures of criminal litigation is fully activated.
There plenty other influencers in the Addendum lists.
Chinmark scam was a shared criminality that benefited several culpable Participants, hence there’s equally the need for shared liabilities too.
This is strictly the criminal justice aspect of this case.
And for us, it’s the most potent, for it holds the prospect of, for once, demystifying Ponzi scammers as criminals, and also serve as major deterrent to others in future.
Gentlemen,
We’ve for once, comprehensively kickstarted and activated the criminal process that should hopefully lead to prosecution of these financial online marauders.
This one is not tainted with their civil matters excuses, it’s pure criminal, raw and core.
And all the facts, and our criminal jurisprudence are in accord with us.
The rest is now left in the integrity of the system, and the full participation of the Victims.
This below, is just a sample of the Petitions, others are substantially the same with little little variations to suit each specific agency.
But we couldn’t attach all the overloaded incriminating exhibits here, for they were adequately captured and annexed to the original copies.
We shall diligently follow the entire process through to the very end”.
