Alan Friedland was outed as having been charged with defrauding investors of $1.6 million USD through his two companies Fintech Investment Group, Inc. (Fintech) and Compcoin LLC.

The charges were filed by the CFTC April 16, 2020, over seven months before Ari Maccabi was featuring Alan Friedland in Brank videos and internet posts as an owner.

Ari Maccabi's concept of due diligence appears to have always been focused around the concept of "can I make big bux selling this POS to my list?"

In keeping with his penchant for cleaning up his internet history as best he can, the Brank website now lists:

Daniel Noormohamed

Duane Noble

Chris Jones Hawk
