Court Docs. on Imperia Invest




Is this going to be the next wave of legal proceedings against some of the deaf people who actively pursued deaf investors and recruited them for Imperia Invest IBC?

According to the court documents prepared by U.S. Security & Exchange Commission it could happen. This is no laughing matter because the investment involves 6,000 deaf people who poured four million dollars ($4,000,000) into the system believing they might get lucky. But what many of them do not realize is the ramification of illegal activity that is involved here.

I personally know several deaf people who were quite active in recruiting investors, including but not limited to several vloggers at deafvideo.tv. Several of them approached me as well and even called me on VP with hope that I'd invest some money as well but because I'm an experienced investors I knew it was a scam investment opportunity so I did not lose any money there. But it was disheartening to read that approximately four million dollars were robbed from six thousand deaf people who participated. I did my math and came down to an average of $666 dollars in investment per deaf person.

And again, like I explained one of my earlier vlog there are only two legal investment regulatory systems in the United States. One of them is Security and Exchange Commission and the other one is with Secretary of State. If the investment program that's offered to you do not register with either system then you will be well advised not to invest at all. It is that simple.

Trust Your Leaders On AB 2072?




I've been watching different announcements and statements coming from deaf leaders on AB 2072 after it was vetoed by California's Governor. Some of them tried to save their faces by celebrating. Some of them went even further and misled their people. Some of them misinterpreted the veto statement by the Governor. What kind of leaders are they? How could they allow their people to be misguided and misled with misinformation on top of misinformations?

For a couple of days people asked if I'd be willing to vlog on the subject of AB 2072 veto to help them understand what's going on. I declined until somebody pointed my attention to a video done by Ken Davis with Deaf Newspaper. The subject was AB 2072. In the middle of the message I could not believe my eyes because the information were grossly incorrect.

According to Ken Davis, the bill known as AB 2072 would have encouraged the parents to go with cochlear implants and oralism programs and even pay for it. I wondered where he got that information. How could a leading newspaper for the deaf community give out misinformation like that? This begs the question. Can they read? If so, did they read the bill? Or was it a classic case of bison jump, following the crowd and believing other people's words. Whatever happen to credible journalism?

Because of the carelessness in journalism I felt obligated to vlog on the veto event so that people are going to have their facts together. Will somebody please step up to the plate here?
