And for taking the lead of this I suggest someone from lcsh group who has some more credibility with the community as Im just a newbie. This is just my suggestion and we can ask the lawyer what he thinks of this approach.
are you italian?
anyway, before paying for a lawyer, you should contact the authorities. cyber crime and/or financial regulator. I would do this both in Hong Kong and Italy. fabrizio is presumably still in hk and his name. is linked to this without a shadow of a doubt. It may be less clear to authorities that Alberto is involved. putting some heat on fabrizio will make prove that rather quickly i suspect
No Im not italian, the actions how to proceed is based on free advice from a italian lawyer who is willing to set up the case for his normal fee if we hire him. to hire him we need someone to make a contract with him so he could proceed. his advice was to get enough people involved so that the total amount of lost money is at least 200 000$ so that the police will have sufficient motivation to proceed with investigation. I will see if I can post his responses here in this thread.
