The Indictment alleges that BUNCHAN, TAN and others acting in concert with

investments in WMDS and 1UOL and then intentionally misappropriated the
investors' funds for their own personal use. It alleges that, to
the contrary, BUNCHAN and TAN told investors that they did not need to do
anything other than invest their money to obtain the monthly payments. Investors who brought in new
investors to WMDS and 1UOL were promised additional income by virtue of
profits realized by the investors they recruited. The letters did
not disclose that the true reason the payments had ceased was because BUNCHAN
and TAN had misappropriated the investors' funds and, as a result, WMDS and
