In line with the case filed, the EMS official web-site was registered to a made-up person, and offered shares of “Pre Funded Reversed Pension Plan” of that investors might allegedly purchased shares at $98 USD per piece. Karlsson ‘allegedly‘ assured a fraud payout of 1.15kg in gold [over $45,000 USD as of 2nd January, 2019] per securities share.

However, an investigation conducted by the IRS Criminal Investigation unit reportedly stated that Karlsson didn’t provably have the capital to back his assured payouts. However, he did seem to have invested all his money received in Thailand-based real estate.

According to the report, Karlsson was also arrested in Thailand earlier on 18th June, and the U.S. is requesting extradition to undertake the supposed scammer within the Northern District of California.
