All, I am in Hong Kong and today I went to the supposed office of the Martin Gleeson, the law firm handling the escrow. On the website, the address is given as in the Langham Place Office Tower 516-596 Shanghai St Kowloon, Hong Kong. The office tower is a large modern high rise. There is no Martin Gleeson on the directory, I did spend some time looking verifying that I was not missing something.
I was approached by one of the elevator attendants who came to assist me. I asked for the Law Offices of Martin Gleeson, she said there are only two law firms in the building, and she pointed them out to me on the directory, none of them were even close to Martin Gleeson Law. I showed the attendant the website on my phone to make sure that I was in the correct building, and she verified that I was. The attendant said there were some communal/shared office spaces which could be the case and that I should contact the law firm to find out what floor they are on.
I once again reached out to Martin Gleeson law by email to ask them what floor they are on. I contacted Syan by email a few times over the last weeks asking to pay the escrow in person in Hong Kong, unlike others on this board, I never got a reply from them. Tomorrow I will visit the two addresses for Syan that are listed on the Syan website, and see who or what is there.
I am not doubting that Martin Law does exist, but it is a law firm without a permanent and dedicated office, and is somewhat disconcerting to me personally. I will visit them again tomorrow if they reply.
