Speak Asia CEO Manoj Kumar’s lame Dec 27th excuses

A few people have been wanting to link the December 27th Speak Asia CEO Manoj Kumar YouTube video but apart from the original comment on here, I’ve been nuking the others. The video Kumar uploaded was in Hindi and being an English language blog, there wasn’t really all much to discuss. Since the video was uploaded [Continue reading…]


EOW’s Speak Asia investigation updates, Dec 2012

For much of December we’ve been wondering what India’s EOW have been up to and how their criminal investigation into Speak Asia has been progressing.

Clarification: Limitations of the Lahoti Committee

From what I gather many people have been trying to get in touch with former Justice Lahoti due to the fact that details about the process have been kept secret by all involved. When you’re dealing with 1.2 million members, the largest ponzi scheme to ever hit india and hundreds of millions of dollars, tensions [Continue reading…]


Speak Asia press releases digitally manipulated

I’ve always been suspicious about the Speak Asia Marketing “official’ Blogspot blog. I mean, here is a company engaging supposedly ‘the best lawyers in India‘ to defend them, and with over a hundred million netted from Indians over the scam, they need to rely on a free blogspot blog (that anyone can set up) to put [Continue reading…]
