Update on the Private Investigator

I've had quite a few emails regarding my plan. I'm not going to answer trivial questions such as cost, motive, methods, status, etc. Only those participating will be privy to the information collected, so email me only if you want to participate.

There are a lot of rumors going around Zhou. All of this is speculation and misleading, and hiring a PI and getting actual facts about who this person is will be the only way to silence them. We have a solid lead placing him in Australia and that is where we will begin the work.

We are not pursuing any kind of group or class action as those are expensive, time consuming and only benefit the lawyers. We want individuals/companies who are willing to go through the process of laying a charge against Zhou under Australian jurisdiction. Those people will have the first chance to recover any funds after criminal charges have been laid. You do NOT have to be an Australian citizen to file charges against a person who committed a crime while in Australia. My involvement with this is only the location - criminal charges and other actions are independent of mine.

If you are willing to contribute to the PI, please email me at mlawrence02@yahoo.com. All information will be shared with those participating, and you won't need to send any money until we actually hire the PI. Money spent on debt collection should be tax deductible, and it should improve the value of bitcoins as people realize fraud will not go unpunished.

Finally, please ignore the empty threats coming from Zhou's payroll - you cannot face civil or criminal charges for finding out the identity of a person - especially a person that has committed a crime against you. We do not intend to even contact Zhou - only to find out who he is and get a physical address where the police can find him. Anyone who tells you differently has a motive other than justice.

It should be trivial to get his address - he is (or should be) a student at Trinity College, Australia. Why do you need a PI for that?

+1, the self importance and agenda is strong with mlawrence

With all due respect toward mlawrence, I feel he's getting a tad aggressive in procuring funds to pay a PI to investigate if there's a Zhou Tong in Australia, in light of what has recently come to light.

Sending a PM to bitchen will be read, for I see he's still active on this forum. It would be interesting to read his "story".

Fang Shihan and David Chua names are back-to-back, because that's the order in which he started following them, just like on Twitter.
