b'HAMBURG, Germany, April 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The following is a GSB statement, on the non-existent Osint Group and the doubts about Karatbars\' existing gold and the V999 fraud in connection with Rainer von Holst.\nIf fraud and abuse of title (also called imposture) knows no bounds due to a lack of awareness of injustice, then one can call oneself a US lawyer and US notary public in hiding and living illegally in the United States of America (USA), as Rainer von Holst alias Jan Faber or Dr. Peter Klein, among others, demonstrably did recently in an e-mail to a news agency in the Federal Republic of Germany.\nIt is a fact that the allegedly gold-backed V999 Coin cannot have an "auditor" with the name "Osint Group", as Harald Seiz and E-Karat International claim in their white paper ( https://v999.gold//documents/v999-platform-white-paper.pdf ) and to various investors, since this company does not even exist, but the Osint Group has merely sprung from the questionable imagination of Rainer von Holst, who put an "Osint Group" logo and a https://osint.group construction kit website on the internet for this purpose.\nIn this context, the affiliates who deal with the allegedly gold-backed V999 Coin and actively advertise for it have to face the question of complicity, here in relation to the responsibility towards the gold investors, with regard to demonstrably ongoing investigations by the public prosecutor\'s office against Rainer von Holst and his network.\nThat the Karatbars boss Harald Seiz has lured his investors directly to the V999 platform of the allegedly gold-backed V999 Coin with the BUV, UNV and QR gold codes, whereby the non-existence of gold auditors (Osint Group) has been proven, are facts.

  • The reality is also that Karatbars investor gold accounts have been linked to those of the V999 Coin, as can be seen on YouTube and various affiliates advertise how to link Karatbars accounts to the V999 platform with just one click.\nMoreover, investors have been waiting for 2 (two) years for the gold invested as well as purchased and already saved by investors, which is why there are countless complaints to authorities from investors who call it an international fraud, as one hears more and more often.\nAlready the renowned German business newspaper "Handelsblatt" reported in June 2020, under the title: "The public prosecutor doubts the gold reserves of the Karatbars Group", about the massive doubts regarding the possible non-existent gold.\nIn this round dance, Jakob B. appears, who returns in the chat of https://t.me/karatbarslawsuit , whereby von Holst has been claiming for some time that he has bought journalists, which is currently the subject of investigations by the public prosecutor\'s office.\nChris Saunders is described by Rainer von Holst as a "criminal" and a "stupid talker", whom Jakob B. is currently suing, according to a statement made by Rainer von Holst to media representatives.
  • This is surprising, because it was Chris Saunders in the USA who recently stated in a video that he had an engagement (assignment) from Jakob B. and a renowned German business newspaper.\nAs Rainer von Holst\'s scam has been known for a long time, the internationally renowned Stiftung Warentest already reported on the impostor and blackmailer in 2018.\nIn his obvious delusions of grandeur as a fraudster, blackmailer and impostor, Rainer von Holst forgot that in this day and age it does not take very long to find out whether a person is really a notary and lawyer, for which it is moreover absolutely necessary that the person has US citizenship, as the US Embassy in London has informed us factually - which exposes the baseless lies of Rainer von Holst and his network.\nHere every person can check that Rainer von Holst, contrary to his insane claims, is not a notary and also not a lawyer and there is also no Dr. Peter Klein in the USA as a lawyer, which is why it is clear that Rainer von Holst alias Jan Faber, who also calls himself Dr. Peter Klein, is an internationally wanted fraudster, impostor and internet blackmailer, who has been acting as a blackmailer on the internet for many years with lies and slander of "gerlachreport" https://www.gerlachreport.com .\n'
