The settlement was how they avoided the news story. This thing was entirely the doings of the agent, not the company itself. But seeing he worked for them…

Thanks. But we still feel a bit like schnooks for letting this happen in the first place.

We’re taking a couple of my friends who are PI’s to RIO in November as thanks for setting up the video/audio recordings and making pre-text visits with the agent. Without all that evidence this all would have gone another way.

Congratulations on a happy ending for you. What a shame that people are so unscrupulous!

I’m glad you won, and got this guy out of the business. It’s frustrating the previous victims are stuck with the money losses this guy swindled out of them.
