Thread: What then after the Investigation ?

Interesting,

Having researched many actions of regulators over the years, usually they hang you in the press first, then strangle you while you die a slow financial death unable to defend yourself since you are presumed guilty until proven innocent in civil cases.

With the recent announcement on BN site, I find this interesting. I may be wrong, but is Malaysia that different than all the other regulators around the world? To post that an investigation is going on a month after the fact seems to lend itself to finding nothing of any fraudulent activity. If there was proof, they would have smeered it all over the press first, and ask questions later.

This would appear to be good news to me, but again, I don't know how Malaysia looks at cases like this. Look at GINS and Plexpay, they were attacked swiftly and it was known by all immediately, yet with Bryan, even his arrest was not known or announced publically, so this was very unusual when comparing to other agencies. So lets hope it is good news.

Good luck to all, Mike

His ARREST??

I thought the talk of his being arrested had been totally discounted by Nelsonlee and Nair, plus Bryan himself in his phone call to Bill Murphy.

The Legal Consultant on the Uk forum, (not Rex or Robin) who was asked by the Committee to become involved when BN went in posted a couple of weeks ago that Bryan was arrested, his passport was taken by the authorities and that was one of the reasons he couldn't go to Ghent for the convention.

The same Consultant in another post said there was very little money and there was next to no chance of P**s coming back.

He got slated by quite a few for his postings but quite a few believed him too.

Probably one of the reasons that many when mentioned on UK forum that there were donations being given to help Bryan on here, were very anti it.

Not all, but the majority were/are anti helping the cause.

I'm not one of them.

Caroline,

In his phone call to Bill Murphy, Bryan said he was not in jail . . . not that he had not been arrested.

But what charges have been filed? How can a person be arrested without charges being filed? And if he had been arrested, it really seems like it would be in the newspapers over there, especially since he had social interactions with influential people. Maybe those people are keeping it out of the papers, but in the United States the press would be all over this story.

Not really, in some countries you can be arrested and detained during an investigation without being charged. It would be possible that nothing was posted (if he was actually arrested) at the request of influential people. Then the only papers that would post something would be the scandal sheet as they are known as. I am sure that there are people in some of the other countries that will back me on this.

No charges have been filed yet.

scubadiver, you're correct on that.

Even in the US, you can be arrested without charges being brought first. The police department has a limited amount of time to hold someone without any formal charges. If that time frame passes (I think it is 1-3 days, I could be wrong), the police department must release that person if no formal charges are levied.

Whether or not Bryan was arrested is immaterial and worthless fodder to banter any further upon. What we all need is official information and try to stop speculating and raising rhetorical querries that nobody has official answers to, but only causes more confusion and consequently more stress, anxiety and negative feelings that really hurt each and every one of us with hope.

My hopes when joining this forum were to get much needed official and factual information, not additional specualtion, conjecture and confusion. Let's work together and post factual information. The "reading between lines" and the speculation that follows hurts us all emotionally. It also gives the trolls something to feed on.

All preditors seek weakness in their prey. Once it is found, the preditor attacks. Let's not supply the weakness amongst ourselves to be exploited by anyone else and unless someone has real, factual and/or official information, we just need to chill and not post more "BS."

Sometimes not saying anything is far better than opening the mouth and quickly inserting a foot.

In Missouri (and I think the rest of the USA as well) they can pick you up and "detain you for questioning" for roughly 6 hours.
"IF" they are waiting on a warrant to be issued by the judge they can "hold" you for 20 hours. On that 20th hour if they have not "charged" you with something they MUST release you.
