In a case where a property owner is unexpectedly faced with false liquidation, eviction, and court orders, leaving them in a state of panic and uncertainty. The situation is emblematic of organized crime syndicates preying on individuals' hard-earned assets, leading to devastating consequences such as loss of businesses, bank accounts, farms, and properties. The need for thorough forensic investigations to uncover and combat such criminal activities is emphasized, offering hope for victims who find themselves without recourse or support. The predatory actions of liquidators who exploit creditors, particularly those who have been victims of theft, within the legal framework outlined in Section 108 of the 1996 Constitution of South Africa and the Administration of Estates Act 12 of 2004. This exploitation underscores a systemic challenge within the legal and financial sectors, where vulnerable parties are further victimized. Addressing this issue requires a comprehensive understanding of constitutional and legislative protections, coupled with robust enforcement mechanisms to safeguard the rights of creditors and uphold the integrity of the legal system Contact us at freespeech@go2newearth.com #criminalactivities #crime #assettheft

Head - Governance and Anti-Corruption, Verité Research. Attorney-at-Law, MA Corruption and Governance, Chevening Scholar
♦️Hot topic of recovering stolen assets - Penned my thoughts on the proposed law, which I say needs further improvement. I wanted to start off a public conversation on this important issue. 1. We risk re-corruption of assets unless we have more public participation at all stages of asset recovery 2. Need access to information, and a way for the public to be part of criminal proceedings. 3. We need to safeguard due process. Greater powers to law enforcement is needed, to be agile, but we also need to safeguard the rights of the accused. 4. Need more public consultation on the law https://lnkd.in/d9cWgV-r This piece is based on a forthcoming paper on this by Janithrika Jayasundara and I. https://lnkd.in/dJiDRK35

An arrest made by a law-enforcing agency in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) was announced a few days ago pertaining to, among other things, scam cases of fake gemstone deals. In light of this arrest, several alleged victims have come forward with stories of being scammed by the accused. In a recent alleged 96 crore scam deal by two accused, namely, Sikandar Ali and Zulfiqar Ali from Baltistan, the victims have filed an application with Sessions Judge Gilgit, calling for an FIR to be filed along with a thorough investigation. As per the details, the complainants/victims, Nafees Saeed and Anwar Jawed, were allegedly defrauded of roughly Rs. 2.5 crore by the accused. The victims were allegedly baited with a 96 crore precious gemstone (emerald) bogus deal where the accused allegedly took millions from the victims for a much larger payout upon the completion of the deal. Despite the case reportedly being with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for almost a year, no breakthrough has been reported, no recovery has been made, and even an FIR has not been filed. However, one of the two accused, Sikandar Ali, has been arrested by authorities, while the primary accused, Zulfiqar Ali, has obtained interim pre-arrest bail from additional district and session judge Gilgit. It is also alleged that the accused have tried various intimidation tactics on the victims, including threatening phone calls, impersonating agency officials to make the victims halt and retract legal proceedings, fake FIRs against the victims, etc. Follow for more. #IbexMediaNetwork #gilgitbaltistan #latest #LatestNews #100crores #Gilgit #baltistan #FirstInformationReport #money #moneyscam #skardu #Diamer #Hunza

Dad of 4, Fellow Certified Practicing Accountant, Founder and Managing Director of an accredited International unicorn technology company
2nd May 2024 The Commonwealth Ombudsman Your Honourable Mr Iain Anderson Dear Mr Anderson, see: https://lnkd.in/e2rqMt-e Follow up from report dated 8th April 2024, REFERENCE prod/A/FHH/03/0315 I am following up from the complaint and request for an investigation sent to you a month ago, as your office has failed to acknowledge the existence of my request and the extensive evidence I wish to submit. I respectfully alerted you to Project D (Decapitation) the sabotage theft and ruin of CellOS Software Ltd, the ISO9001 accredited Melbourne company, valued on 1 March 2015 by KPMG at US$94billion, I worked so hard to build over 10 years with the help of over 2000 shareholders and the dedicated 200 professional staff and engineers supported by Deutsche Bank. As I informed you, shortly after signing up Deutsche Bank to raise USD500million, my company was sabotaged and stolen in a sinister plan called Project D by several elite influential conspirators with the help of the Authorities in Singapore and who in turn influenced the Australian Authorities ‘to look the other way’. Now we know that despite receiving over 15 reports the Authorities looked the other way while multiple serious crimes continued to be committed against me the founder to ruin my reputation and prevent me from rescuing the company. The Conspirators defrauded the parishioners of Christian City Mission Church out of US$60million, to pay bribes, legal fees and embezzled, and further still defrauded the Australian Taxpayer, through Ausindustry, out of A$6.8million, of which A$3.2million paid the legal fees and the balance laundered through India. The disingenuous excuse used by the Authorities to justify not investigating the reported Project D crimes when they were reported was that there was ‘insufficient evidence’ and that Project D was a ‘civil case’. We have glaringly obvious evidence further corroborating the extensive evidence already given to these the Authorities since 2015 that this excuse couldn’t be further from the truth. We have supplied you with the money trail as clear evidence that the A$6.8million the Authorities in Australia illegally transferred to the conspirators paid legal fees and bribes, while they and the Singapore Authorities ensured I couldn’t get legal representation, allowing the conspirators to frame and prevent me from rescuing CellOS. Such scandalous failures have serious implications for the future of entrepreneurship and investment and represent major concerns for the rule of law and the respect for the human rights in Singapore and Australia. I respectfully await your response. Jason Huber FCPA Tel +35699905084
