Dear Ms. Dobrott,

Yesterday we were informed by the FBI of an open criminal investigation relating to an attempt to extort funds and stock from Mr. Charles Gregoire de Rothschild. Mr. de Rothschild is the non-executive Chairman of our company. Apparently a group of online extortionists have been posting negative information about Mr. de Rothschild on many websites, including yours, as well as sending mass e-mails, stating directly to Mr. de Rothschild that they will stop their activities if he pays them. Mr. de Rothschild did not inform us that he is a target of extortion, and we only found out that this was occurring from the FBI late yesterday evening.

As a result, our compliance team has initiated a comprehensive legal review of all postings, and all material that has been posted. This link information was provided to us by the Agent in charge of this investigation, as well as your contact information. Please understand that we are trying to deal with a rather serious crime here, and I write to you with hopes that you are willing to assist us.

Re: Charles Grégoire de Rothschild - GDR Privée Inc.
About Us - Conundrum Capital LLC - FOREX solutions

I see that this de Rothschild character is involved in forex trading. And, his bio is alarmingly bereft of any verifiable facts:

Senior Management





Charles Grégoire de Rothschild
Chairman and Co-Founder

International financier, Merchant and Investment Banker.

Mr. de Rothschild has held numerous positions as Advisor, Director, and Chairman of several private and public companies, and currently is Chairman of the Family Office of GDR Privée, a boutique investment firm.

Additionally, there are multiple other posting on your board which are part of this attempted extortion. The URLS include:

http://www.realscam.com/f12/conundru...othschild-858/

http://www.realscam.com/f12/franklin...othschild-857/

You may note that both posts were placed around the same time, by the same user. This user is part of the attempt to extort money according to the FBI Agent who contacted us. From what we were told, this is a known group that attempts to shake money from wealthy families and people, and they go by numerous aliases. They post the same information multiple times on sites such as yours, and then tell the victim that if they pay money, they will stop and remove the offending posts.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Dear Justin,

You are the third person to contact me. Threads on our site and many others you folks have referenced will not remove posts without a court order or good cause. So, no one could use the site I manage to bribe or extort anyone because these alleged extortionist would have no way of removing anything from the forums. Only admins have those capabilities. Now, should the FBI contact me I will do everything necessary to assist in a legitimate investigation. Until then, I suggest you folks refute what you wish and do it in a civilized manner on the available threads.

My information is quite readily available and the FBI did not need to give it to anyone as I put it in the signature line for every post that I make.

I take small quotes from things all over the web for the sole purpose of commenting on them. I will continue to quote and comment as I deem appropriate.

If you will forward the contact information for the FBI agent in charge of the investigation, perhaps we can get this resolved.

Thanks,

At this point I am getting quite annoyed with this bunch of clowns. I did answer them in a businesslike and friendly manner, but I am getting tired of dealing with threatening e-mails that are filled with fabricated criminal mumbo jumbo and all sorts of wild tales of international intrigue. Isn't there a TV show they could submit a script for???
