DFRF Enterprises @ BehindMLM

Three Canadian DFRF Enterprises promoters have been fined $956,000. The enforcement action, initiated by the British Columbia Securities Commission, comes eight years after US authorities took action against the Ponzi scheme.

The FTC has issued at least 379 MLM companies with deceptive and/or unfair conduct notices. This was announced by the FTC on October 26th. If it slipped under your radar, you’re not alone. I learned of the FTC’s announcement via a tip sent in by a reader. At first I thought there was some funny [Continue reading…]

Rather than front up to court and fight a lost cause, DFRF Enterprises defendant Jeffrey Feldman has settled. Feldman, a previously convicted felon, was one of five DFRF Enterprises sued by the SEC back in 2015. He was the front man for the company’s non-existent Ponzi insurance claims.

Jeffrey Feldman’s DFRF Enterprises trial has been scheduled for March 2020. The SEC’s initial lawsuit cited Feldman, a convicted felon, as DFRF Enterprises’ fake insurance guy.

Daniel Filho might have dodged prison time but the SEC aren’t letting their civil case go. In a September 25th Motion for Default Judgement, the SEC seek to hold Filho accountable for $10.2 million dollars.

The SEC has filed for default judgement against DFRF Enterprises defendants Daniel Filho, Wanderley Dalman, Gaspar Jesus, Eduardo Da Silva and Romildo Da Cunha. The SEC’s default motions follow the denial of motions to dismiss by Dalman, Jesus and Da Silva. The trio’s lawyers have also withdrawn from the case, following months of non-communication.

In June 2018 Daniel Filho was declared incompetent to stand trial. A year later Filho appears to have made a miraculous recovery. He’s communicating with DFRF Enterprises victims and appears to be planning a comeback.

Following the SEC filing for default judgment back in February, a $17.8 million final judgment has been made against DFRF Enterprises. Heriberto Perez Valdes, an individual defendant in the case, also received a separate $1.2 million judgment.

At a scheduling conference held on January 31st, the attorneys of DFRF Enterprises defendants Wanderley Dalman, Gaspar C. Jesus and Eduardo N. Da Silva, informed the court they ‘could not locate or communicate with their clients‘. All three defendants have filed outstanding motions to dismiss, which the court gave until February 28th to either withdraw [Continue reading…]

In what is essentially a continuation of litigation prior to the 2015 case freeze, the SEC has filed a renewed default judgment motion against DFRF Enterprises. In their February 1st motion the SEC argues that DFRF Enterprises is in default, because Daniel Filho filed a response to their original compliant on behalf of the company.
