Central Railway Swept TVI Express Scandarl Under the Carpet, TOI reported

Times of India has reported almost a year ago that some officials in India Central Railway had abused their position to coerce their underlings into joined TVI Express, thus they can profit. 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).

A separate inquiry by the Vigilance Commission to investigate corruption in India is still ongoing.

TVI Express Scammers in Russian invokes KGB to Recruit

According to news out of Belarus (next to Russia), scammers over there, apparently unaware that Tarun Trikha had been arrested in India and the scam is pretty much over, had been recruiting people and claiming to have KGB connections.

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.

The "local" leader of TVI Express, Vladimir Pygidium, currently operates TVI Express branch out of Belarus.

Egypt Outlawed 8 scams, including TVI Express

Better late than never, but the "new" regime of Egypt have just outlawed 8 scam companies, including TVI Express.

Following is from Google Translate:
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
While the auto translation is atrocious, the meaning is obvious... TVI Express is a scam, and it's outlawed in Egypt.

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.

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.

With Tarun Trikha previously arrested, there may yet to hope.
