And they also invented charges to cause an audit of those people who did not cooperate, further proving their abuse. On 15-SEP-2013 Times of India, who obtain inquiry report made by ICR through RTI, found that ICR has systematically whitewashed the scandal, by giving the perps slap on the wrist (minor penalties) and maybe transfer them to another station (which in some cases is considered a promotion). <br />
<br />
A separate inquiry by the Vigilance Commission to investigate corruption in India is still ongoing.<br />

<br />
For those who are not aware, KGB was the USSR intelligence agency. Think of it as FBI, CIA, NSA, AND the Nazi Gestapo combined into one and it would not be far off. It of course, no longer exist, after fall of communism, but its various officers, now in civilian life, are rumored to have maintained their network and worked their way up the Russian mafia food chain.<br />
<br />
The "local" leader of TVI Express, Vladimir Pygidium, currently operates TVI Express branch out of Belarus.<br />

<br />
In a different news, TVI Express has been called "Travel MMM" by locals of Belarus. MMM, or Mavrodi Money Machine, is an infamous pyramid scheme by Mr. Mavrodi that destroyed many fortunes in Russia.<br />

Hadebe's assets were already sized by court order in 2012, including her luxury cards like Jaguar and Mercedes. She put up a big legal fight, but her last appeal was refused in March 2013.<br />

An investigator from the fraud unit told 4 affiliates at a meeting to follow him to the police station. Two were released, and two were detained.

<br />
Following is from Google Translate:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2e3333; font-family: 'times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 27px;">The number of participants in the company's eighth "Tvi express" to about 98 954, and the number of defendants المضبوطين 3 members, and subscription fee of $ 250, and the return of $ 500 for every 7 new people, and the value of amounts collected $ 24.7 million, and free Minutes No. 7741 for the year 2013 cover of Dokk</span></blockquote>
While the auto translation is atrocious, the meaning is obvious... TVI Express is a scam, and it's outlawed in Egypt.<br />
<br />
This blog was one of the first to note that TVI Express is illegal based on common interpretation of Shariah law, and indeed Ulama Council of Ache, Indonesia was one of the first to outlaw it.<br />

According to Times of India report (through BehindMLM), after months of prodding and inaction by Indian Central Railways, the corruption case regarding their officers will be handed over the the central agency, known as "Central Vigilance Commission", with the purpose of investigating all government-related corruption in India.<br />
<br />
The case stemmed from several articles in Times of India, where officials in Indian Central Railways was alleged to have abused their power of management to force subordinates into joining TVI Express pyramid scheme, and punish those who do not and/or made complaints about such. It has been over seven months since the first report was published in Times of India, yet no action had been taken other than to transfer the accused managers to a different station.<br />
<br />
With Tarun Trikha previously arrested, there may yet to hope.<br />

MANILA, Philippines - Fresh from the disastrous results of the Aman Futures scam, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has again issued an advisory to consumers in Davao and Surigao of two separate potential investment fraud.<br />
SEC chairperson Teresita Herbosa identified these two potential scams as Connectacons Inc. and TVI Express Holidays Phils.<br />
The target company in Tandag City, Surigao del Sur has reportedly been encouraging teachers to invest P16,800 with a promise to "double the money" within 6 months and to get $10,000 for another 6 months.<br />
According to the SEC advisory, those who invested have not received the promised amount and even return of their investment despite repeated demands.</div>

<br />
<a href="http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/business/pacific-royale-ceo-resigns-citing-dispute/535758">http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/business/pacific-royale-ceo-resigns-citing-dispute/535758</a><br />
<br />
The paper however, stated that the airline is owned by Gunardi Gunawan and Tarun Trikha.<br />
<br />
Frankly, I have yet to see the shareholder list of the airline. A couple Indonesian newspapers and airline blog sites have repeated the info, but then, I haven't seen any official confirmation of the ownership / shareholder.<br />
<br />
According to a more recent article in AsiaOne (a newspaper in Singapore), Pacific Royale ceased operation back in 2012.<br />

<br />
The trio racked up contempt of court charges after they have been charged and their bank account frozen to prevent them from removing their ill-gotten gains. <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="8428e091-5649-4baf-8c76-5a618d214498" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="92e5d5c5-9e43-464c-8d4c-6cd3d2fa80a4" grcontextid="Teddi:0">Teddi</span> Jutsen, the court later alleged, abused the court provision that they are allowed to withdraw smaller amounts for living expenses. By going to multiple bank branches to withdraw various amounts below the limit, Jutsen was able to move out a larger sum of money than was allowed by the court. Details are unclear how much money was withdrawn.<br />
<br />
It is unknown if ACCC, the agency that handled the prosecution, and thus will receive the fines, has received them from the fraudster trio. However, the court, which tracks the contempt fines, confirmed that it has NOT received any of the fines for the contempt charges.<br />

<br />

<br />
Then came a report on December 5th that victims believe the police are not doing a good job and have complained to Human Rights Commission. As police only held suspects for 10 days, the perps are now free, but documents were seized by police as evidence.<br />

This actually happened a month ago, back on 16-NOV-2012.<br />
<br />
According to the article, if convicted, the penalty is up to 4 years of jail sentence. However, it is not clear why is Gunarni Goenawan not been indicted, as she's the president of PT TVI Express Indonesia.<br />

<br />
Instead of doing a thorough investigation for this abuse of authority, Railway of India simply transferred two of the top perps to other locations (one could be considered a promotion), and apparently, nothing else.<br />

In this case, apparently a India Railways official has used his clout to recruit many of his employees and they are now demanding justice.<br />
<br />
The perp countered by accusing the underlings of being jealous and "not completing the chain" (i.e. recruit enough people).<br />
<br />
The only way to get justice is to report the crime, folks.<br />

How cuteSomeone pointed me to my own handle KsChang on <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.ripoffreport.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Ripoff Report">Ripoff Report</a>!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Complaint about "Kacey Chang", posted December 2011. </span><br />
<br />
The complaint got a couple details right: I do run a few blogs, and I do live in in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.7793,-122.4192&spn=0.1,0.1&q=37.7793,-122.4192%20(San%20Francisco)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="San Francisco">San Francisco</a>, but that's obviously from my Blogger profile, which can be read easily by any one.<br />
<br />
But the fact that the guy can't even get my name spelled right, linked to an empty G+ profile (I have my own and it's not that) and provided a picture of random Asian dude in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=34.05,-118.25&spn=0.1,0.1&q=34.05,-118.25%20(Los%20Angeles)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> (<a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=34.0430555556,-118.267222222&spn=0.01,0.01&q=34.0430555556,-118.267222222%20(Staples%20Center)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Staples Center">Staples Center</a>, hmmm?) makes this a rather lame fake complaint.<br />
<br />
What's more, the timing for this, December 2011, would make it BEFORE Zeek and before Wazzub.<br />
<br />
Which pretty much leaves TVI Express members as the ones making up this ****.<br />
<br />
And given the lack of details (except the stuff found on my Blogger profile), it is probably one of the people who came to "debate" me on my blog.<br />
<br />
Which suggests that it's some <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipino_people" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Filipino people">Filipino</a> fans of TVI Express, as TVI Express is dead just about everywhere else.<br />

Dave KettnerDave Kettner claims to be network marketer since 1998, and he's very excited about his current biz... sell "chewable" vitamins. Clearly, he's not excited enough to put it actually in his "current" job, but instead, left the dead TVI Express bogus scam position as his "current" job.<br />
<br />
Even that "team" he belonged to, "triumph together" is long dead.<br />

<br />
But what else was he excited about? According to his Internet activity, he's only excited about potential scams.<br />
<br />
In July 2011 he was promoting ZeekRewards, a suspect <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Ponzi scheme">Ponzi scheme</a>, which according to him, is promising 1.2% DAILY return.<br />

<br />
Searching for that phone number he gave brought up a link to "Diamond Holiday", a clone of TVI Express scam:<br />

Yet if you looked on <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.linkedin.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="LinkedIn">LinkedIn</a>, you can still find remnants of people "advertising" their TVI Express affiliation. Here's profile that belongs to this "Karen Stanley".<br />
<br />
As TVI Express had been dead in the US since 2010, she's clearly unemployed, or never bothered to update her LinkedIn profile ever since.<br />

<br />

<br />
SayYourWay is hidden behind "domaindiscreet", the domain privacy service offered by register.com<br />
<br />
Search of domain archive shows nothing.<br />
<br />
The "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior_management" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Senior management">executive team</a>" has pretty generic names such as "Simon Cooper", "Ray Koo", "Brian Marsh", "Martin Duke", and "Kitty Leung", none of which included actual items that can be fact checked.<br />
<br />
It also has some very odd badges at the bottom, such as <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRUSTe" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="TRUSTe">TrustE</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.verisign.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="VeriSign">Verisign</a>, DSA, and a generic "satisfaction 100% guaranteed" badge, but all of them are quite small.<br />
<br />
The Verisign and TrustE badges are NOT LINKED for verification, so they are bogus.<br />
<br />
DSA badge is bogus too, as the company has nothing to do with <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_selling" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Direct selling">direct selling</a>. In any case, if you are a DSA member you should say "associate member" or such.<br />
<br />
Study of the remainder of the website revealed it to be a better presented version of the SpeakAsia scam.<br />
<br />
While the whole thing is indeed very likely to be a scam, I cannot find anything to link it to Tarun Trikha. It is possible, but there's no evidence (yet) pointing that way.<br />
<br />
I'll check Neo-Vo and MLMconnects in a future post.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.nbi.gov.ph/news/tvi_express.html">http://www.nbi.gov.ph/news/tvi_express.html</a><br />
<br />
This is the first time TVI Express was mentioned in OFFICIAL Filipino government communique (except for the "company registration").<br />
