Comments from our site users regarding solidinvestment.com
"...as of mid-day Saturday July 8th, 2006,
the Solidinvestment site has been down, as well as the forum:
http://www.ecurrencyforum.com, which we now believe to have
been controlled by them (SI). It is imperative therefore, that we proceed with swiftness, to keep SI from pulling off one the BIGGEST HYIP scams in Internet history!"
"I also wanted to say that
http://www.solidinvestment.com/ is a scam!! They used to be Jungle Ventures many months ago.. they claim they are not Jungle Ventures but had a certificate on their site that had Jungle Ventures as the name of the registered company..."
Operators of Solid Investment and the site solidinvestment.com have collected funds, failed to make promised payments, and have now disappeared.
Solidinvestment was supposedly a Belize-based company. An ongoing review of Internet and other records by WORLDLawDirect has shown the operators to be in several locations.
Lawyers are filing a federal lawsuit including charges for violation of the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c). Plaintiffs seek triple damages as allowed by law. More details as court papers are released.
Criminal charges are being filed as of today, July 12, 2006. If you have further comments or information, or need help, email us here at WORLDLawDirect.

I would like to pose a few questions:
1. The people at the World Law website seem to have a question of dual identity when it comes to Mr. Sosa and Mr. Collins. Isn't it a demonstrable fact that they are - indeed - two seperate individuals?
2. Why the vague reference to having seized "certain assets" without specifically naming the amounts and locations? Wouldn't the disclosure of this type of information lend credence to World Law Direct's claim to be 'on the case', as it were?
3. Once of the reported emails contained a reference to the confusion between the two 'Jungle Ventures' companies. Unfortunately, the 'author' of this email failed to perform some simple DD - DUE DILIGENCE - about the two entities. SI did, in fact, have a whole PAGE devoted to explaining the difference between the two. I know, because I myself SAW and RESEARCHED this aspect of SI before I invested. So, why would WLD allow an incomplete, or fraudulent, statement to be posted on the website?
4. Did SI collect funds? YES.
Did SI fail to make payments as promised? Unknown.
Did SI disappear? Unknown.
Wouldn't the fact of this forum's very existence (and others just
like this one) cause some question to arise about the method or
reason for the 'disappearence' of the SI website?
5. The WLD states that they have found thatSI was operating from several locations. Okay, but why did they not DENY that SI was based out of Belize? They only infer that SI was not actually based there.
6. Is multi-site operation criminal activity? Then every single multinational corporation is guilty of criminal activity, including companies like GM, Microsoft (maybe not a good example ), British Petroleum and McDonalds, to name a very few. Are they, too, being deceitful, mischievous, or operating outside the law?!
7. Finally, which criminal charges are being filed? By whom? Against who/what? Which jurisdiction is being entered? RICO (the racketeering legislation referenced in the WLD website) is strictly an American law and has absolutely no validation in any other court system other than this country. Since SI is based out of Belize, how then can WLD claim to be using an American law in a foreign jurisdiction?
Sorry for such a long and exhausting post, but I just had to get these questions out of my head. Otherwise I might explode!
As always, I'm searching for the truth here and not trying to alienate or anger anyone. That is not my intention. Rather, a spirited and logical discussion of the FACTS will bring out what I believe we all desire -
THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
Thanks, all!
