zeekrewardsWe’d only just reported that the Zeek Rewards Receiver was looking to ‘to file lawsuits against foreign net winners in additional countries during the second quarter of 2015‘.

Little did we know that meant clawback bombs would be dropped across eight countries within a week.

Having already sued top Zeek Rewards investors who refuse to return stolen funds in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the British Virgin Islands, Norway and the UK, the Receiver has now filed lawsuits against investors in Brazil, Israel, France, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands.

This latest clawback litigation was filed between the 1st and 4th of May, targeting forty-four Zeek investors for a total of $5.93 million dollars.

As with previously filed clawback litigation, only top investors who received $50,000 or more in stolen funds are being sued.

Failure to respond to the clawback litigation will then result in default judgement being sought.

 

Footnote: Our thanks to Don@ASDUpdates for providing a copy of the Zeek Receivership’s latest clawback litigation.

 

Update 15th July 2015 – On the 9th of July the Reciever voluntarily dismissed clawback litigation against all Brazilian and Irish investors.

 

Update 17th October 2017 – Ove Marcelind of Sweden has been in touch and claims he was ‘not aware that Zeek was a Ponzi and (has) payed back everything.’
