We just sent an email to Roger Pawson and copied in Brett Rosen. The email said:
Mr. Pawson,
It's a very bad look for you and for OPTEC to be waving around what appears to be fraudulent paperwork in an effort to convince the investing public that your claimed multi-billion dollar deal is legitimate.
We have researched Trust Investment Bank and have visited their website. The site is only one year old and it is loaded with spelling and grammatical errors and shows incorrect and misleading information on it. The site is from a cheap template and some of the pages still have the template's instructional text on them. A real and legitimate bank or investment company would not be so unprofessional and minor league. This is all typical of a scam and it doesn't look good at all, considering what we know about your past questionable behavior.
Additionally, The British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (the “FSC”), has previously issued a public statement saying it "considers it necessary to issue this public statement in order to protect the public, and the interests of any customers or creditors of TRUST INVESTMENT BANK BVI (the “Company”), and to make the general public aware that the Company has never been licensed or regulated by the FSC to carry on any type of financial services business."
It is imperative that you immediately address this issue in order to reassure the investing public.
We'll let you know if and how he replies.
