SECTION A:

‘YES, WE HAVE SWINDLED THE DROUGHT STRICKEN FARMERS OF SOUTH AFRICA OUT OF $120 MILLION’ ADMITS TLU SA BROKER.

By: MS Investment Partners


September 13th, 2017



Tim Scott, a New York based broker, has revealed startling evidence in an affidavit in which he admitted being part of a conspiracy to steal the money donated to the drought stricken farmers of South Africa by members of the GABM organization.

Scott’s affidavit will be submitted as evidence in chief in numerous criminal cases in 19 countries against those involved in this fraud scheme. Scott has agreed to testify against the organizations and executives of TLU SA and Media 24 and AGRI SA in return for immunity against prosecution.

Scott alleges he was approached to broker a deal in which TLU SA could sell 250 GABM donated Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds to private investors outside of South Africa.

It is alleged in the affidavit that certain executives from the organizations TLU SA and Media 24 and AGRI SA have conspired together to steal the money for personal benefit and gain.

Scott has indicated in the affidavit that he does not know who the ‘mastermind’ behind the fraud scheme might be. (Media24 alleges a certain Mr. Chris Hanekom is the mastermind of the scam. His name appears as signatory and beneficiary of all 3 below accounts used to launder the proceeds of the fraud scheme.)

It is also alleged in the affidavit that certain staff members from the organizations TLU SA and Media 24 and AGRI SA have been deliberately misled and tricked to work on the conspiracy while being completely ignorant about the intention to steal the GABM donation.

Scott has alleged in the affidavit he was promised 20 percent of the proceeds of the sale.

Scott alleges in the affidavit he has sold the 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds through a connection at the VEB bank in Moscow to very influential Russian investors for an amount of $50 million as appose to the real market value which should be in the range of $120 million.

It is alleged in the affidavit that the transaction was concluded in August 2016, and the $50 million was transferred to 4 numbered bank accounts.

It is alleged in the affidavit that$20 million was transferred to an account linked toTLU SA. The client number is JAPL 503 GHWER Y10087 ZS.

It is alleged in the affidavit that $10 million was transferred to an account linked to Media 24. The client number is PLOKM 432187563B ZQBED.

It is alleged in the affidavit that $10 million was transferred to an account linked to AGRI SA. The client number is 3 QT JFJM27 SOVT513R DCX.

It is alleged in the affidavit that $10 million was transferred to an account linked to Scott. His client number is RTI 67 BC29S 0AJWQZUTR7.

Scott claims his responsibility in the conspiracy was restricted to the selling of the 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds.

Scott claims the responsibilities of his partners were to discredit the GABM SA Drought Relief Project and associated third parties in the press and among the SA farmer establishment to such an extent that it would generally be believed the project is nothing more than an elaborate scam intended to take advantage of the SA farmers; as appose to the actual purpose of providing real financial aid to SA farmers affected by the drought in South Africa. [IBDF International LLC dba the G500 Private Investment Group has during June 2018 distributed ZAR 1.5 Billion between 5172 South African farmers during Callister International corporate security division’s effort to recover the stolen money. About $36 Million has been recovered to date.]

Scott alleges in the affidavit TLU SA and Media 24 and AGRI SA must have been aware of the conspiracy as they have not made any effort to stop their executives from conducting the fake news campaign against the GABM SA Drought Relief Project and associated third parties in their corporate names.

Scott similarly alleges in the affidavit TLU SA and Media 24 and AGRI SA must have been aware of the conspiracy as they have not made any effort to stop their executives from using their organizational infrastructure to conduct the fake news campaign against the GABM SA Drought Relief Project and associated third parties.

Scott similarly alleges in the affidavit TLU SA and Media 24 and AGRI SA must have supported the conspiracy directly or indirectly, as they have not made any effort to recant the fake news campaign against the GABM SA Drought Relief Project and associated third parties when made aware of the real facts relating to the said matter; or to settle the matter when given the opportunity to do so.

Scott claims in the affidavit his partners have genuinely believed the intricate fake news campaign strategy would succeed and they would get away with the perfect crime, and it almost did if it was not for the tenacity of the project’s initiator, Mark Paulsmeier, who refused to let the matter rest after being falsely defamed and discredited in the public domain.

A criminal case has since been opened at the South African Police. The case docket number is CAS 110/3/208. The accused parties are Agri SA, Christo van der Rheede, Omri van Zyl, Media24, Waldimar Pelser, Gerrit van Rooyen, Leanne George, TLU SA, Bennie van Zyl, Chris Hanekom.

2 civil cases have been filed to date. The first civil case has been filed against Chris Hanekom under docket 342/2018 in the Lenyenye Court. The case will be heard on February 22nd, and 23rd, 2021. A ZAR 226 Million case against Agri SA and Christo van der Rheede has been filed in the Pretoria High Court under docket 70725/2019. This case is awaiting a court date.

1. To recover the original 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds, or

2. To recover an amount of $70 million which represented the market value of the 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds when handed to TLU / TAU SA in July 2016.

3. To collect documentary evidence for criminal prosecutions and civil lawsuits against those parties involved in the misappropriation of the GABM SA Drought Relief Project donation.

4. To make recommendations to IBDF in moving forward.

B. COST OF INVESTIGATION

5. We have cost our investigation at $250K excluding expenses.

6. It was agreed that Mr. Mark Paulsmeier would be responsible to cover our professional fees and associated expenses.

C. FACTS OF CASE


The GABM SA Drought Relief Project went through 4 different stages.

First Stage of the GABM SA Drought Relief Project – Involvement of SA Government and AGRI SA in project:

7. The former President of GABM, Mr. Mark Paulsmeier, started a private initiative in March 2016 to provide financial support the drought stricken farmers of South Africa.

8. Mr. Paulsmeier named his private initiative the GABM SA Drought Relief Project.

9. The GABM SA Drought Relief Project was exclusively started due to the continued statements by AGRI SA in the press about the plight of the drought stricken farmers of South Africa to obtain financial aid.

10. On March 3rd, 2016, Mr. Paulsmeier requested permission from the GABM Board of Executives to circulate a request for donations in the amount of $70 million to fund the GABM SA Drought Relief Project.

11. On March 10th, 2016, Mr. Paulsmeier’s request was approved and a request for donations was circulated on the IBNN Advertising Platform.

12. On June 20th, 2016, Mr. Dennis Arnold informed Mr. Paulsmeier that 250 GABM members have each donated one Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bond to his GABM SA Drought Relief Project and GABM SA Food Aid Program.

13. 233 of the Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds were allocated to Mr. Paulsmeier’s GABM SA Drought Relief Project, and

14. 17 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds were allocated to Mr. Paulsmeier’s GABM SA Food Aid Program.

15. On June 27th, 2016, Mr. Arnold notified the South African Ministry of Agriculture and AGRI SA about the GABM SA Drought Relief Project in an official GABM communication. Mr. Paulsmeier has forwarded the GABM letter by e-mail.

16. There was no progress to secure AGRI SA’s support/involvement in the project as it throughout insisted the $70 million should be transferred to its drought aid fund.

17. By July 5th, 2016, AGRI SA has issued a public statement to this effect.

18. Mr. Paulsmeier declined AGRI SA’s request for two specific reasons:

a) Firstly, CamRey Associates has been appointed by the GABM donors to convert the 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds to the ZAR currency and to distribute the funds to the drought stricken farmers,

b) Secondly, AGRI SA and/or executives have allegedly deducted commissions/facilitation fees from corporate donations in the past, a practice that is unacceptable to GABM and its members.

19. There was no progress to secure the SA Government’s support / involvement in the Project as it insisted the 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds should be converted to the ZAR currency by offering it to the Gupta’s and not the South African clients of CamRey Associates.

20. Mr. Paulsmeier also declined the SA Government’s request for two specific reasons.

a) Firstly, the Gupta’s have allegedly been involved in fraud and corruption practices in South Africa and would use the 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds to launder money,

b) Secondly, CamRey Associates has already allocated the 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds to its clients in South Africa and the funds have been placed in escrow,

c) CamRey Associates have provided the SA Government with proof of the unencumbered $70 million for the funding of the GABM SA Drought Relief Project on June 5th, 2016.

21. By July 6th, 2016, Mr. Paulsmeier failed to get the co-operation and support for his GABM SA Drought Relief Project from the South African Ministry of Agriculture [over the Gupta matter] and AGRI SA [over the management of funds matter] which caused the project to be cancelled.

Second Stage of the GABM SA Drought Relief Project – Fake News Campaign and Character Assassination Plot:

22. The Second Stage of the GABM SA Drought Relief Project commenced on July 6th, 2016 with an aggressive:

a) ‘Fake News Campaign’ against IBDF International LLC and corporate divisions;

b) ‘Character Assassination Plot’ against Mr. Mark Paulsmeier;

c) ‘Fake News Campaign’ against the GABM SA Drought Relief Project;

d) ‘Fake News Campaign’ against CamRey Associates and the Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds;

e) Ransom hacking of all the IBDF International LLC group websites;

f) Hacking of the IBDF International LLC group websites and social media pages / accounts for purposes of publishing false information to discredit the IBDF group and / or deleting existing information.

23. IBDF International LLC and corporate divisions have refused to pay the ransom demands to recover the data of the IBDF Group websites. The IBDF Group websites were removed from the internet by August 2017 as a temporary measure to end the unlawful hacking activities.

24. MEDIA24’s Rapport newspaper published the first article in terms of the ‘Fake News Campaign’ and ‘Character Assassination Plot’ - Net stofwolk kom van ‘filantroop’ se droogtehulp, by Gerrit Van Rooyen on July 17th, 2016.

25. Mr. Christo Van Der Rheede published a revised version of the Net stofwolk kom van ‘filantroop’ se droogtehulp, by Gerrit Van Rooyen on his Facebook page on July 17th, 2016.

26. AGRI SA then publishes the revised version of the Net stofwolk kom van ‘filantroop’ se droogtehulp, by Christo Van Der Rheede on the AGRI SA Facebook page on July 17th, 2016.

27. Mr. Chris Hanekom then publishes the revised version of the Net stofwolk kom van ‘filantroop’ se droogtehulp, by Christo Van Der Rheede on several Facebook groups as well as his personal Facebook page on July 17th, 2016.

28. Mr. Paulsmeier has immediately responded to the Rapport article by Gerrit Van Rooyen by publishing a corresponding article on the GABM Facebook page which corrected the false, misleading, defamatory and malicious content.

29. On July 18th, 2016 Mr. Paulsmeier send an e-mail to the editor of the Rapport newspaper, Mr. Waldimar Pelser, and complained about the Gerrit Van Rooyen article in the Rapport newspaper and requested that the article be retracted or revised with true and accurate facts. Mr. Pelser refused to comply with Mr. Paulsmeier’s request and has referred Mr. Paulsmeier to the Rapport ombud, Marga Ley.

On July 19th, 2016 and again on February 28th, 2017 the Chairman of the G500 Nominees [IBDF shareholders], Mr. Anthony Reynolds, wrote a letter of complaint to the Rapport newspaper’s Board of Directors about the false and defamatory Rapport article written by Mr. Gerrit Van Rooyen, which letter was hand delivered to the offices of MEDIA24 at 251 Oak Avenue, Randburg, 2194, Gauteng, South Africa marked for the attention of Marga Ley.

31. MEDIA24 has not responded to the letter from Mr. Reynolds or taken any action as requested, besides from dismissing Mr. Van Rooyen from its employ as journalist.

On July 23rd, 2016 and again on February 28th, 2017 the Chairman of the G500 Nominees [IBDF shareholders], Mr. Anthony Reynolds, wrote a letter of complaint to the Beeld newspaper Board of Directors about the false and defamatory Beeld article written by Alet van der Walt, which letter was hand delivered to the offices of MEDIA24 at 251 Oak Avenue, Randburg, 2194, Gauteng, South Africa marked for the attention of Marga Ley.

34. MEDIA24 has not responded to the letter from Mr. Reynolds or provided any evidence that the GABM SA Drought Relief Project is a pyramid scheme, or that the GABM Organization or Mr. Paulsmeier is involved in such an alleged scheme.

35. IBDF requested from Mr. Paulsmeier in a letter dated July 25th, 2016 to respond to the allegations by AGRI SA and MEDIA24’s Beeld newspaper that he has allegedly used the GABM SA Drought Relief Project and the GABM organization to operate a pyramid scheme in South Africa.

36. Mr. Paulsmeier has responded in a letter dated July 26th, 2016 in which he categorically denied any involvement in a pyramid scheme, as alleged by AGRI SA in the MEDIA24 Beeld newspaper, or that the GABM SA Drought Relief Project or the GABM Organization is involved any unlawful business activities.

37. MEDIA24’s Rapport newspaper published the third article in terms of the ‘Fake News Campaign’ and ‘Character Assassination Plot’ - Landbouers se ‘miljard’ lê in ’n kluis, by Leanne George on October 2nd, 2016.

38. On October 5th, 2016 and again on February 28th, 2017 the Chairman of the G500 Nominees [IBDF shareholders], Mr. Anthony Reynolds, wrote another letter of complaint to the Rapport newspaper Board of Directors about the false and defamatory Rapport article written by Leanne George, which letter was hand delivered to the offices of MEDIA24 at 251 Oak Avenue, Randburg, 2194, Gauteng, South Africa marked for the attention of Marga Ley.

41. On January 30th, 2016 and again on February 28th, 2017 the Chairman of the G500 Nominees [IBDF shareholders], Mr. Anthony Reynolds, wrote another letter of complaint to the Rapport newspaper Board of Directors about the false and defamatory Rapport article written by Leanne George, which letter was hand delivered to the offices of MEDIA24 at 251 Oak Avenue, Randburg, 2194, Gauteng, South Africa marked for the attention of Marga Ley.

42. MEDIA24 has not responded to the letter from Mr. Reynolds or taken any action as requested, besides from dismissing Leanne George later from its employ as journalist.

43. The goal of the ‘Fake News Campaign’ and ‘Character Assassination Plot’ was to misappropriate the $70 million donated to the GABM SA Drought Relief Project’.

44. The exclusive purpose of the ‘Fake News Campaign’ and ‘Character Assassination Plot’ is to discredit the GABM SA Drought Relief Project and associated third parties (Mark Paulsmeier; IBDF International LLC; its corporate divisions, CamRey Associates; Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds) in the press, and social media and among the SA farmers and agricultural establishment to such an extent that it would generally be believed the project is nothing more than an elaborate scam intended to take advantage of the SA farmers.

45. The objectives of the ‘Fake News Campaign’ and ‘Character Assassination Plot’ are to create the impression among the SA farmers in particular and public in general that:

a) The GABM SA Drought Relief Project is a pyramid scheme operated by Mark Paulsmeier and the GABM Organization;

b) Mark Paulsmeier is an unscrupulous swindler who is involved in several unlawful scams;

c) IBDF International LLC t/a the G500 Private Investment Group (IBDF) (formerly the Paulsmeier Inc Group) and its corporate divisions, which include Global Association of Billionaires and Millionaires (GABM); Callister International; Summit Network Group; International Business Finance Corporation; etc do not exist and/or are only dormant shelve companies;

d) These IBDF organizations are not registered at on-line regulatory or business databases;

e) These IBDF organizations have no addresses or contact details on the internet;

f) The SNG Global Dollar Virtual Currency Financial System is not credible and it is used to defraud unsuspecting investors;

g) The Board of Directors of IBDF International LLC does not exist and Mark Paulsmeier uses their names as aliases to commit fraud;

h) CamRey Associates does not exist;

i) Anthony Reynolds does not exist and it is merely one more of Mark Paulsmeier’s aliases to commit fraud;

j) The Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds are worthless paper certificates;

k) Mark Paulsmeier is unable to provide any credence of his corporate career;

l) Mark Paulsmeier is not a USD Billionaire;

m) Mark Paulsmeier plans to take over the British M&S retailer in 2005 for 10.5 Billion British Pounds was foolish and ridiculous;

n) Mark Paulsmeier has blackmailed Sun International Limited.

46. The strategy of the conspirators behind the misappropriation of the 2016 GABM SA Drought Relief Project donation was to:

a) Use the corporate infrastructure and corporate names / brands of AGRI SA, TLU SA and MEDIA24 to facilitate the fraud scheme, namely to open foreign money laundering accounts and to use their print media and social media platforms, etc;

b) Use the reputation and credibility of AGRI SA, TLU SA and MEDIA24 to provide credence and support for the conspirators’ ‘Fake News Campaign’ to discredit the GABM SA Drought Relief project and a ‘Character Assassination Plot’ against Mark Paulsmeier (Plaintiff);

c) Use AGRI SA, TLU SA and MEDIA24’s access to the best law firms, free of charge, in the unlikely event of something went wrong.

47. AGRI SA and TLU SA and MEDIA24 / Naspers have been informed on numerous occasions by IBDF and Mr. Paulsmeier that the conspirators are involved in a huge fraud scheme and that the conspirators are using their corporate infrastructure to facilitate the fraud scheme as well as to cover-up the fraud scheme.

48. AGRI SA and TLU SA and MEDIA24 / Naspers have also been advised on numerous occasions by IBDF and Mr. Paulsmeier about the substantial annual financial losses IBDF International LLC and its corporate divisions suffer as a direct result of their and the conspirators’ refusal to end and resolve the subject matter surrounding the ‘Fake News Campaign’ as is indicated in the Letters of Demand from IBDF International to AGRI SA, TLU SA, MEDIA24 and Naspers.

49. The fraud scheme has been executed by the conspirators during their normal duties and responsibilities in the employ of AGRI SA, TLU SA and MEDIA24 and as such give AGRI SA, TLU SA, MEDIA24 / Naspers full vicarious liability, more specifically as they have not closed the foreign money laundering accounts in their corporate names and in addition refused to end the delictual actions of their respective employees. (As a general rule, an employer is vicariously liable for the wrongful act/s or omission/s of an employee committed within the course and scope of the said employee's employment, or whilst the employee was engaged in any activity reasonably incidental to it / Vicarious liability may in general terms be described as the strict liability of one person for the delict of another. The former is thus indirectly or vicariously liable for the damage caused by the latter. The liability applies where there is a particular relationship between two persons.)

50. The parties who have knowingly or unknowingly (together the conspirators) participated in the devastating ‘Fake News Campaign’ and ‘Character Assassination Plot’ as referred to above include AGRI SA, TLU / TAU SA, MEDIA24, Christo Van Der Rheede, Bennie Van Zyl, Chris Hanekom, Waldimar Pelser, Leanne George, Gerrit Van Rooyen and others.

51. On January 2nd, 2017 IBDF International LLC terminated Mr Paulsmeier’s:

a) Association and membership to IBDF and its corporate divisions, and

b) $10 million consultancy contract as well as his 10 year employment contracts regarding the $20 billion IBDF Africa Expansion Project over the serious allegations made by AGRI SA and Media24 and Chris Hanekom.

52. IBDF International LLC decided to withdraw its business activities from the African Continent / South Africa as a direct result of the ‘Fake News Campaign’ on the part of MEDIA24 and AGRI SA and Chris Hanekom, which decision was publicly announced in a statement on March 9th, 2017.

53. A certain Mr. Bennie Van Zyl from TLU / TAU SA has contacted Mr. Paulsmeier shortly after the cancellation of the First Stage of the GABM SA Drought Relief Project in July 2016.

54. Mr. Van Zyl indicated to Mr. Paulsmeier that TLU / TAU SA would like to continue with the GABM SA Drought Relief Project in the absence of support from AGRI SA and the SA Government for the project.

55. Mr. Van Zyl, on behalf of TLU / TAU SA undertook to convert the 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds to the ZAR currency and to distribute the $70 million among the drought stricken farmers of South Africa, if the GABM donors would allow TLU / TAU SA to continue.

56. The GABM donors have approved the request from TLU / TAU SA, subject to several conditions that include:

a) TLU / TAU SA must convert the 233 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds in respect of the GABM SA Drought Relief Project to the ZAR currency within 5 months of receipt thereof,

b) TLU / TAU SA must distribute the about ZAR1 billion from the sale of the 233 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds within 5 months of receipt thereof,

c) TLU / TAU SA must return the 233 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds on request from the GABM donors in the event of TLU / TAU SA does not comply with the aforesaid conditions,

d) TLU / TAU SA shall be responsible to ensure that the sale of the 233 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds and distribution of the funds comply with all the laws and regulatory requirements of South Africa,

e) The funds must be distributed to the drought stricken farmers of South Africa irrespective whether they are members of any agricultural union.

57. Mr. Paulsmeier and TLU / TAU SA further agreed that TLU / TAU SA would convert the 17 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds, donated to the GABM SA Food Aid Program, on behalf of Mr. Paulsmeier at the same time when TLU / TAU SA converts the other 233 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds.

58. TLU / TAU SA would then transfer the funds in respect of the sale of the 17 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds to such bank account as indicated by Mr. Paulsmeier.

59. The 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds were taken to South Africa by a CamRey Associates courier on July the 23rd, 2016. Mr. Van Zyl has received the 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds on behalf of TLU / TAU SA from the GABM donors on July the 25th, 2016 at the Hat & Creek Restaurant in the town of Hoedspruit, Limpopo Province, South Africa.

60. On August 23rd, 2016, TLU / TAU SA contacted CamRey Associates and requested the assistance of CamRey Associates to sell the 250 SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds by auction.

61. CamRey Associates agreed to sell the 250 SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds on behalf of TLU / TAU SA at a South Africa auction on September 28th, 2016 at no cost to TLU / TAU SA.

62. On September 1st, 2016, TLU / TAU SA have unconditionally accepted the CamRey Associates offer and associated terms and conditions.

63. TLU / TAU SA have for unknown reasons not concluded the transaction with CamRey Associates.

64. On January 16th, 2017, CamRey Associates made a fresh cash offer to buy the 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds from TLU / TAU SA at market value.

65. TLU / TAU SA did not respond to this offer by CamRey Associates.

66. During the latter part of February 2017, a Mr. Tim Scott from New York was approached to buy Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds at a discount from a man who identified himself as Bennie Van Zyl, General Manager of TLU / TAU SA in South Africa.

67. Mr. Scott says he has never met or spoke with Mr. Van Zyl before.

68. Mr. Scott says he is also not aware how Mr. Van Zyl has obtained his contact details.

69. Mr. Scott informed Mr. Van Zyl that the trading in bearer bonds might be unlawful in the US and Mr. Van Zyl could face financial fraud and wire fraud and securities fraud charges if he tries to sell bearer bonds to US citizens.

70. Mr. Van Zyl then informed Mr.Scott that he represents TLU / TAU SA, the second largest agricultural union in South Africa and the 250 bearer bonds were donated by GABM members to provide financial aid to the drought stricken farmers of South Africa.

71. Mr. Van Zyl then asked whether Mr. Scott knows about possible investors that would be interested to buy 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds from TLU / TAU SA at a discount.

72. Mr. Van Zyl told Mr. Scott he could earn a commission of 20% if he could facilitate such a transaction with foreign investors.

73. Mr. Scott informed Mr. Van Zyl that he will investigate the matter and Mr. Van Zyl should contact him after a week.

74. Mr. Scott told the Callister International investigators he did not suspect anything wrong with the fact that the bearer bonds were sold at a discount or that he would receive such a high income because the bearer bonds were donated and it was a humanitarian project and not a standard commercial transaction.

75. Mr. Scott then heard about a person at the VEB Bank in Moscow who is facilitating international investment transactions on behalf of very affluent Russian businessmen.

76. Mr. Scott has contacted the VEB Bank in Moscow on March 2nd, 2017 and the proposed transaction was discussed in detail.

77. On March 16th, 2017 Mr. Scott was contacted by the VEB Bank and he was told that there are potential buyers, but they are only prepared to pay $50 million for the 250 Investment SNG Global Dollar Bearer Bonds.

78. Mr.Scott contacted Mr. Van Zyl from TLU / TAU SA by e-mail and confirmed the offer from Russian investors.

79. Mr. Van Zyl has accepted the offer in an e-mail dated March 18th, 2017.

E. CONCLUSION

Our investigation team has concluded that:

174. IBDF International LLC (IBDF) has done everything possible to meet with the South African Government and the South African Reserve Bank to resolve the matters which prevented IBDF from continuing with a $20 billion investment program in South Africa in terms of the IBDF Africa Expansion Project:

a) IBDF has engaged with the South African Government on a continuous basis to establish an official investigation into the misappropriation of the $70 million GABM SA Drought Relief Project donation matter,

b) Several attempts have been made to provide the South African Government and the South African Police with the substantial amount of documentary evidence regarding the misappropriation of the GABM SA Drought Relief Project, without any success,

c) IBDF has officially invited the South African Government on two occasions during 2017 and 2018 to its headquarters in New York. The exclusive purpose was to provide the South African Government with full access to its corporate records to confirm the status and credibility and corporate resources of IBDF International LLC dba the G500 Private Investment Group [formerly the Paulsmeier Inc Group],

d) IBDF has send an official delegation to South Africa to meet with the South African Government to provide the South African Government with full access to its corporate records to confirm the status and credibility and corporate resources of IBDF International LLC dba the G500 Private Investment Group [formerly the Paulsmeier Inc Group].

175. Global Association of Billionaires and Millionaires (GABM) have kept the relevant South African authorities informed on every aspect of the GABM SA Drought Relief Project and other aspects about its members’ activities in South Africa.

176. Mr. Mark Paulsmeier has been relentless in his efforts over a period of four years to get the South African Government as well as the South African financial regulatory authorities and law enforcement involved in an official investigation regarding the misappropriation of the $70 million GABM SA Drought Relief Project donation in 2016.

177. IBDF has wholeheartedly adopted and supported the Krieger Consult proposal which:

a) Would have ensured that the $20 billion IBDF Africa Expansion Project could proceed as planned,

b) Offered the conspirators in the misappropriation of the $70 million GABM SA Drought Relief Project donation an opportunity to resolve the matter amicably without legal consequences and very little financial obligations.


F. RECOMMENDATIONS

178. We strongly recommend that IBDF International LLC (IBDF) transfer its corporate interests to a new offshore registered investment vehicle as soon as possible, instead of later as planned:

a) To finalize the final step in the IBDF re-branding process,

b) To protect the future business interests of the G500 Private Investment Group,

c) To protect the future business interests of the G500 Private Investment Group members.

179. We strongly recommend IBDF International LLC should turn its back on South Africa, which recommendation is exclusively based on the unprofessional and unethical manner the South African Government and all its institutions have disregarded all the requests from the IBDF Organization to meet and conclude the $20 billion IBDF Africa Expansion Project investment in South Africa as well as to resolve the misappropriation of the $70 million GABM SA Drought Relief Project donation:

a) The conduct of the South African Government and all its institutions indicate a total disrespect to foreign corporate investors, in particular the IBDF Group,

b) The conduct of the South African Government and all its institutions further indicate a soft approach to crime and corruption,

c) The conduct of the South African Government and all its institutions further indicate that an IBDF Group investment in South Africa may not have any protection under the laws of South Africa.

180. We strongly recommend that IBDF withdraw the additional pledge of ZAR 1 billion to the drought stricken farmers of South Africa as AGRI SA and TLU / TAU SA and MEDIA24 and Mr. Chris Hanekom refuse to comply with the IBDF ‘Letters of Demand’.

181. We strongly recommend that IBDF and / or GABM members end any future criminal cases against the South African parties involved in the misappropriation of the $70 million GABM SA Drought Relief Project donation, and let the South African Police handle the case filed by Mr. Paulsmeier.

182. We strongly recommend that IBDF end any future civil lawsuits against the South African parties, involved in the misappropriation of the $70 million GABM SA Drought Relief Project donation, in particular since IBDF has recovered virtually all its financial losses by means of the:

a) Forfeiture of Mr. Paulsmeier’s Bastion Business Solutions (BBS) business rights worth $2.5 billion as compensation for the financial losses caused as a result of the GABM SA Drought Relief Project ‘Fake News Campaign’,

b) Blocking / forfeiture of the SNG Global Dollar accounts of Mr. Paulsmeier and the Paulsmeier Family Account,

c) Forfeiture of Mr. Paulsmeier $10 million professional fee in respect of the IBDF Africa Expansion Project contract,

d) Forfeiture of Mr. Paulsmeier directors fees and bonuses in respect of the IBDF Africa Expansion Project,

e) Forfeiture of the directors fees and bonuses of the other directors in respect of the IBDF Africa Expansion Project,

f) Rapid business growth of IBDF’s corporate divisions since 2019, following the successful re-branding of the G500 Private Investment Group to stop the reputational and financial damages caused by the ‘Fake News Campaign’ and ‘Character Assassination Plot’.

END.

Please be advised this is our final report on the matters relating to our assignments from IBDF during September 2017 and December 2017 and the case file is closed and all investigations on the subject matter has been terminated.

Feel free to contact me if any aspect of our investigation or this report and our findings need more clarification or additional information.
