[Resolved]  Royal Indian Raj — False Claims by Ravi Benjamin

In reference to a post by Ravi Benjamin located on the India Complaints board:

https://www.consumercomplaints.in/complaints/royal-indian-raj-c151460.html

I'm further perplexed how Ravi Benjamin can claim "No investigations...nothing." in reference to rg villas and royal indian raj international corporation.

It logically follows that since Ravi Benjamin has been the primary salesman who has sold, by far, the most units out of any salesperson operating out of the riric Vancouver BC office for royal garden villas and resort rgvillas.com -- now inexplicably renamed royalvillasandresort.com -- he would have surely been informed of the following:

"Last week, FICOM issued a cease-and-desist order under the B.C. Real Estate Development Marketing Act against Royal Indian Raj, Benjamin, and several related companies."

The above is an excerpt from a David Baines article dated today -- March 11th, 2009. Since the cease-and-desist order was issued last week, it therefore must have been issued no later than Friday March 6th, 2009 at the absolute latest. As Ravi made his claim of "no investigations" on March 9th, 2009, something here just isn't adding up. How could an investigative body issue an order if no investigation were underway? And since it is the policy of FICOM to contact the party under investigation to question them, doesn't it seem extraordinarily unlikely that Ravi Benjamin -- the lead salesman -- had no idea that an investigation was underway?

Note: FICOM stands for Financial Institutions Commission: http://www.fic.gov.bc.ca/

Below is the link to the David Baines article, which also points out the fact that "So far, the B.C. Securities Commission has done nothing relating to the sale of shares". Now why would Baines make such a statement if the BCSC weren't conducting an investigation?

" Readers may recall that I have been ragging on a pileup-in-progress called Royal Indian Raj International Corp., which purports to be developing multi-billion-dollar "smart cities" in India. "
