Typically when a scam goes down there’s always at least one insider who starts circulating misinformation they make up as they go along.

Angry downline investors, pressure from friends and family who trusted them, the denial of having lost all that monopoly money – there’s a myriad of reasons it happens. And if widely circulated enough, creates enough confusion among investors such that those responsible for stealing their money are able to slink off into the night.

Language-barriers amplify the chaos, with the recent SEC shutdown and FBI investigation of DFRF Enterprises showcasing a prime example.

Following the shutdown of DFRF Enterprises by the SEC and
criminal charges
filed by the FBI against owner Daniel Filho, social media accounts in the company’s name were flooded with messages from DFRF investors still in denial.

This despite an SEC investigation revealed only DFRF insiders and Filho himself profited from the scheme, with millions of stolen investor funds currently unaccounted for.

Filho himself is currently
wanted by the FBI
and on the run, and it is against this backdrop that a communication, purportedly from Filho, has emerged over the last few hours.

Initially I dismissed the notice as yet more spammy misinformation from DFRF investors, but then a link to Daniel Filho’s official Facebook account caught my eye:

The link itself now points to a content unavailable page, which suggests the posting on Filho’s timeline has since been removed.

You can verify it’s not made up, by changing numbers in the URL and hitting refresh – which brings up a different “page not found” error message.

Whatever was posted on that link has been removed, with another message underneath the link containing a message in Spanish.

This is supposedly the information that was briefly posted on Filho’s Facebook profile before it was removed.

English versions of the message were forwarded onto me by BehindMLM readers, which I’ve reproduced below.

The all Members of DFRF

Because of communications mistakenly released vehicles of social communication, many people, especially related to MLM (MLM), by personal interests or business, they took advantage of the moment to create a legal situation.

As is public knowledge, first used a local lawyer in Massachusetts to formalize a legal complaint with the authorities in the state, pointing several names of persons and entities, including banks, which in turn, due to the complaint of content, one of the banks has led such claim for a Federal court, resulting in an investigation intentionally caused.

The American CVM (SEC – Securities and Exchange Commission) in turn, requested support to the FBI to conduct the investigation in order to ascertain the veracity of these allegations: Not existence of properties, mineral rights, reserves and / or research activities or exploitation as well as any commercial activity on own production or of third part
