Dear Mr No Name Brand
I read your post with interest & realise not only your ignorance, but that you make your acquisitions purely based on perceptions. You totally & completely fail to substantiate the claims you make with authentic evidence/fact. Your perceptions & reasoning is purely based on your lack of knowledge concerning the matter or process at hand. Despite regular update public meetings & the opportunity to ask questions at those meetings you still decided to discredit people here who follow a transparent process. Why don't you identify yourself if your are convince it's a scam? Is it because in the back of your mind you still entertain the possibility maybe it's not a scam? Therefore you don't want to fully identify yourself, because you're afraid if it is not a scam you might just compromise your eventual payout? If it is a scam, why dont you demand the legally appointed board and/or legal team to refund your donation?
If it is a scam do you really think the so called scammers (board & legal team) will present forensic evidence to substantiate their claims? If it is indeed a scam do you really think high profiles such as Pravin Gordhan, Maria Ramos etc will be silent while they are implicated in the forensic reports?
If it is indeed a scam do you really think the so called scammers will used the money they've apparently scammed you with & waste it on travel & accommodation & on top of it present evidence to you of their travel & meeting with absa?
If it is really a scam do you honestly make yourself believe that a lawyer, advocates, Senior council will get themselves involved in a scam that will not only sacrifice their career, but also their families?
If it is a scam do you really believe that those people you accuse of scammers will be such idiots to (1) appoint and register a legal board of tustees? Even go further then that and appoint lawyers, advocates (Sc) to advise them & act on their mandate?
If it is a scam do you really make yourself believe that those people will spend your "hard earned" money teavelling up & down Cape Town/Joburg? What for?! Will the idea not be to pocket every cent donated?
If it is a scam do you really think those so called scammers will find themselve busy consulting with Sc on the successful reclaiming of the Surtie Inheritance & be so transparent to call for regular update meetings to keep you informed & at peace?
If it is a scam do you honestly believe they will use the pennies collected at those update meetings to spend on travel and accommodation?
The very same people you label as scammers made financial sacrifices in their commitment to the process, (sold their properties etc) compromised their families financially to honour their agreement with you and 1000's others.
Did you at any time give it a thought why the high & mighty one's, Pravin Gordhan, Maria Ramos etc, implicated in those forensic reports never made a public statement to defend their integrity? Can you extend your investigative brain to that extend? Let me give you comfort! You don't need a single brain cell to figure that out.
You consider the Surtie matter as a scam, yet a well research/investigated report has been tabled with the public prosecutor. Yet you want to run to the Hawks! Don't you think that is exposing yourself as a wise fool on a public platform?
It is obvious that you have limited knowledge/information on this matter. Neither do you appreciate the complexity, political & corporate powers who hold unto "their golden egg, wealth".
Please note I'm writing this post/reply in my personal capacity & non of the above necessarily reflect the opinion, viewpoint of any member of the Surtie Board or any legal representative.
