    Torsen LSD Group buy is a bust!!

    Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the place where this should be posted so a moderator is welcome to move it to the proper place.

    About a year or more ago a member came on here looking to start a group buy for a torsen LSD on the ZX2 platform.

    There were several members from teamzx2 and zx2ms who participated in the group buy.

    I'm also pretty sure that there were members from your boards that participated in the group buy.

    If you did participate in the group buy, you'll probably know by now that it is a bust, Mister L__a never did forward our money to torsen and in fact used it for legal fees for another investment. I'm providing a link for you to read more information including the email that Mr. L. has sent to the buyers.

    I'm heading up group of concerned defrauded buyers in starting legal action against Mr. L. via law inforcement either local or the fraud department of the FBI.

    Here is the link.

    The provided link will give you the information I am requesting to build our case

    Thanks

    UPDATE

    Ok gang. I've been in contact with my friend who works in the fraud division of the local Police force here in Ontario. Unfortunately he stated that from up here I'd be able to do nothing.

    His suggestion was for someone from the same area as Marco start by talking with the local police. As far as the FBI goes, it would not be taken by them at this point.

    The fact that Marco sent out the email that states what he did with the funds and that his intentions are to pay us back, makes him "on the hook" for the money. The fact he hasn't skipped town (so to speak) would not make it fraud at this point (straight from police).

    BUT.... Again I state, he is on the hook for the money, and I'm sure all of us who were involved in this "group buy" would apreciate someone who lives in the RI area to pick up the ball on this one. I'd forward the information that I've been provided to the person who is picking up the ball on this one. I'd hate to have to cross the border to start a claim and make it a very difficult "international" affair.

    Thanks,

            Well it is posted on the other sites, but here ya go

            Dear buyer,
            First of all I will like to apolagize for any delays, lack of updates, and
            the little time I have to support this project. I know many of you emailed
            me the last month and I have gotten back to most of your emails, check your
            email inboxes. The Group buy is a failure due to two main faults. Support
            and my own. The deposits and support did grow as time went one in the
            beginning of the project. Support from protégé owners was very helpful at
            first. Though at the time of the few set deadlines the needed amount of
            buyers for the project to move forward was lacking. My plan was to stay
            with the project. At the same time a very large opportunity finally broke
            through for me to really get out into the market. I planned to finish it
            first and projected that its initial profits would fill in the required
            spots left for the group buy. To make a big story short, my investors left
            me out to dry so I pursued them in filing a lawsuit. I was so deep already
            I couldn't just drop and forget it. I was empty handed without any funding
            whatsoever. Between lawyers fees, bills, and carrying the two projects I
            had my hands full and tied. I've been working 2 jobs, selling what I have
            left the since November. With barely have any time for my personal life
            in-between work never mind anything else, I have struggled and had no chance
            to pay attention to the project anymore.


            My other project is far larger therefore my delay in trying to clean it up.
            I'm not finished cleaning up the large project but it's noting going
            anywhere till my lawsuit moves on. It takes forever so I have time to clean
            this group buy up. Also I am not or ever tried to scam any of you. My
            intentions with this project were to bring something to the protege/zx2
            community something unique and something it doesn't have. Plus it would be
            a great opportunity for future marketing projects. Plain and simple I am
            not going to nor wanting to run away with anyone's money. It's yours; most
            of you have worked hard for it and don't deserve to be scammed. There's
            enough of that going on in this world.


            With that said I am in the process of securing a loan I can get to organize
            my financial situation between the buyers in this project and my lawsuit.

            I ask that you just have a little more patience with me with the return. I
            hope to have everything straighten out by Easter.

            I know that a few of you have filed a claim against me a few months back. I
            don't blame you but I also don't fear you either. If I was someone else out
            for your money, I would be gone and disappeared long ago by the time the
            investigation was finally up to date and on someone's desk.


            I will inform you the closer I get to return your money.


            Thank You for your involvement in this project and your patience for the
            last 9 months.


            (Sorry if I didn't answer your question, I quickly typed this email in a
            hurry. Feel free to ask me anything. Also I have all your information
            still and will notify you right before I send your return.)


            Sincerely,
            Marco
