Do people want to hear audio of Sungames telling investors on a call to deceive the auditors?

I know for a fact that these scammers actively read every single post here. In fact, that is exactly what lead to Dan's infamous voicemail from them. Let them see that there are people who know what they're up to.

Agreed. All leaders monitor this site daily. It's been quiet for a while so they thought they can get away with yet another doozy of a scam. Perhaps we can save just one person from investing again. Isn't it worthwhile then?!

Are you saying that people who read through this entire thread are still investing by them ?

Bingo. Not just that they are rallying others to invest too!

Just might. Who knows. If these people know that the process has begun of reporting Sungames to DA, SEC, Attorney General... maybe they'd do right thing and step forward first. Say that they are in over their heads, even cooperate with the authorities and get some of their $$$ back LEGITIMATELY.

 The leaders will see that people are on to them.
 Maybe these updates have held people back from giving more money. It may open some eyes and hold some back from giving more.

Yes, even the investors who read this continue to believe. You have to understand, there are 2 types of these "investors"

1. Really stupid and naive people who simply drink the kool-aid because of the scammers' reputation, and take comfort in the constant email and phone updates provided by the scammers.

2. Really stupid and naive people who after reading all of our posts, became educated, but are still afraid to shake the boat because they don't want to jeopardize what they already put in and don’t want to expose the scammers because of the frum tight-knit you’re-not-allowed-to-snitch community mentality that actually perpetuates the scam.

Because this scam continuously asks for more money, some folks in category 1 keep on giving, since they are told that by not doing so, they could jeopardize the whole deal. These posts deter the category 2 victims from giving more money.

Tim If the updates bother you so much then don't follow this thread!

Abe- If tzedakos are having dinners and the funds are going toward this then the donors have no clue and need to be informed.....  Im sure the direct investors know the names, but what about the regular guy who donates to a dinner campaign?  If the yeshiva's name is released they'll have to immediately stop giving.

 I cannot say for certain that they are taking money from tzedaka for this. I personally would not give because I do not believe that any Director of Tzedaka should be involved with  something like this. It would not surprise me if money coming in did go to this. That is what holds me back.

I think you guys are just smearing everybody here. I would say only 2 or 3 people "really" know what the truth is, and the rest have no flying clue of what's really going on. So stop bashing rabbis, they are really clueless victims like everybody else.

If names were named, then the many readers of this forum will spread the name to others, who will in turn spread it to others etc. That would be enormous pressure. Chavrach chavra is lei.

That's where you are wrong. They aren't clueless. They are very much in the know. They are actively involved in all email threads and conference calls. Some are even large donors and have received finders fees as incentive to bring in business

But someone clueless has the responsibility to know he's clueless, and not draw others into an investment when he's not qualified.

Correct. By writing what we are today we are giving opportunity for these leaders to step up and redeem themselves and salvage whatever reputation they can for sake of their innocent families.

Not to mention preventing a HUGE chilul Hashem from occurring. Nobody wants to see these rabbis paraded on the news walking their walk of shame to court.

100%.

Whichever way you cut it people are being duped here.
Public pressure and rabbanim speaking out against this can do a lot to educate people and stop them from losing more money on this!
