I am currently researching my options and trying to figure out in which country I should be looking for legal representation.
There are enough clues to suggest it was an exist scam. It will take hours for somebody new to absorb all the information related to the case.
The main thing is there are assets (properties) that are still standing and being used to generate income. I know the exact buildings, locations, etc. They are listed on Booking.com and on the developer website too. I have copies of the deeds/titles of said properties.
If you have information that suggests that it was an exit scam then it is of great value. I do not know what kind of information you have but when you do use them to prove that it is an exit scam then remain anonymous as these start-ups are not created by a team but by a consortium of gangsters. It is how they operate wherein they onboard newbies who are looking for jobs and then they commit their plan of action. Thailand and Burma are famous with such gangs and they are known locations for crimes like these.
This happened in my country when a piece of news came out as how Indians were held captive to do
digital scams. This issue was reported and that is the reason we know it but it is quite evident now that any project that is dealing in such a location should be ignored.
