The owner and three employees of a US business promising high returns on the Iraqi dinar have been indicted by a federal grand jury on conspiracy and wire-fraud charges for allegedly duping investors out of more than $23 million.
According to reports, Rudolph M. Coenen, 47, the owner of Bayshore Capital Investments LLC, is charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. Three others — Bradford L. Huebner, 65, Charles N. Emmenecker, 65, and Michael L. Teadt, 66 — were also named in the indictment.
Jacksonville.com reports that to promote the expertise, Coenen was presented as a wounded Iraqi veteran who had deep knowledge of dinar trading and was a former vice president at JP Morgan Chase. According to the indictment, Coenen never served in the first Gulf War and only worked at JP Morgan Chase for one day as a loan officer. Claims he had been awarded the Purple Heart were also false, the indictment said.
"These defendants made false statements time and again to convince people to part with their savings and hard-earned cash," U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach said in news release. "The fact that one defendant falsely claimed he was wounded while fighting in Iraq is particularly egregious."
The men allegedly promoted dinar sales through a website and in conference calls by saying the investments were protected by the U.S. government and had the potential to rocket in value under a revaluation of the currency.
Attorney Richard Kerger, who represents Huebner, said the charges are baseless and he didn’t believe any laws were intentionally broken.“These people are getting fair value for their money,” he said of the investors. “This is a complicated setting but there are reasonable answers.” Kerger said he was not as familiar with Coenen’s case. He said Coenen has been representing himself in court.

opps... can the editor please xxx out the phone number, and web link in my post. Sorry.
Four down. A couple of dozen more to go. 🙂
Interesting. Normally the dinar crowd would be pouring in here to defend their boys. Seems confidence might be a little shaken with this latest development.
That or maybe most still aren’t aware of this because the dinar sites are not allowing this to be posted.
even with the news that the dinar ROSE AGAINST THE DIRHAM THAT THE PEOPLE IN THE GCC BOURSE WANT MORE DINAR IN THAT REGION! YOU TWO GUY`S STILL ON HERE WISHING THAT THE DINAR FAILS! IN THE EMIRATES MARKET THE DINAR ROSE 0.26% MARKING 0.0032 AND 0.15% AGAINST THE JORDANIAN DINAR MARKING 5.1805 DIRHAMS! YOU TWO NEED A HOBBY THE DINAR IS GOING TO MAKE YOU GUY`S EAT YOUR WORDS!!! AND NOW THE DSL SECURITIES AND AXIS CAPITAL ARE GOING TO LINK IRAQ TO THE INVESTMENT WORLD YOU GUY`S READ TO MUCH GURU STUFF AND NOT FINACIAL INFORMATION THAT`S PROVEN TO BE TRUE ABOUT THE DINAR!!!
the catch word is FRAUD they never delievered the DINARS OR THE PROFITS from the hedge funds!!! this has nothing to do witH LEGITIMATE DINAR SALES! YOU GUY`S REMIND ME OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY JUST WAITING IN THE SHADOWS TO JUMP ON ANY TYPE OF BAD NEWS!
2collectg you are fanatic :o)). All IQD ops is scam!
Not really 2collect. In fact a new huge Class Action Suit is in the works against Treasury Vault & Dinar Trade (click on the link in the first sentence for the court document):-
http://www.pigottlaw.com/Iraqi-Dinar-Scam
"70. Defendants’ marketing and solicitations contained erroneous, false and fraudulent representations and material omissions as complained of herein.”
82. Through their acts, representations and omissions are complained of herein, Defendants engaged in securities fraud.”
SEVENTH CAUSE OF ACTION – Fraud
138. As stated herein, Defendants did make false and fraudulent representations of facts to the Plaintiffs and Class Members, through the marketing of their “investments”
139. As stated herein, Defendants did fraudulently conceal and omit certain matters which should have been disclosed to the Plaintiffs and Class Members, in the marketing of their “investments”.
140. These representations, statements, concealments and omissions were intended to deceive and defraud the Plaintiffs and Class Members, and did so.
145. As stated herein, Defendants did knowingly and/or recklessly misrepresent material information to the Plaintiffs and Class Members regarding the “investments” sold to and purchased by them.
164. The acts and omissions of Defendants as stated herein constitute violations of federal law, and specifically the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934."
etc. Read the actual working, and it's not about "not delivering Dinar that was paid for", it's about deliberately mis-representing a redenomination as a 100,000% appreciation, without which, most wouldn't have bought Dinar.
As for "The Dinar rose 0.26% vs the Dirham". Big deal. All currencies move like that every day. And the $ has risen 20% vs the GBP over the past 5 years. Only you think the entire world's currencies are frozen immobile except for the Dinar. LOL.

2collect - ROFL!!!! From your own link:-
"This type of investment is about thinking out of the box," says Ali Agha, the chief executive of Dinar Trade, which specialises in trading the Iraqi dinar, as well as the South Korean won, the Chinese yuan and the afghani."
That's the same "Ali Agha" who lied about having a license for trading, was fined $20,000 and had DinarTrade shut down for fraud for a year, and then lied about being shut down. Here's the court document below (Ali's signature is at the bottom on the last page):-
"By agreement and with the consent of the Staff and the authorized representative of Dinar Trade, it is hereby ordered that Dinar Trade shall be responsible for the payment of a civil penalty in the amount of $20,000.00 to the Arkansas Securities Department. The violations by Dinar Trade support an assessment by the Commissioner of a civil penalty against pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. 2365-805.."

Funny thing is he says he listens to all opinions, then turns around and says he wants us to shut up and stop talking about it.
Stew, I am just asking why this waterfall of words promoting in this time worthless currency, nothing more.Years of marketing so far non worthy product. You got IQD? Congratulation but don't try use "used car" salesman pitch. (or religion) People are not living in lalaland. ME region is in the turmoil all tribes are on each other neck, very little civil infrastructure, etc. It will take a long time to Iraq stabilize and form some financial structure worthy to invest. Maybe next generation, if one think that way. Take it as you like 🙂
