In what is probably one of the more anticipated Zeek Rewards clawback efforts, Gerry Nehra is now being held accountable for his role in the $850 million dollar Ponzi scheme.
Filed on September 21st against Gerald P. Nehra, Nehra and Waak, Gerald P. Nehra, Attorney at Law PLLC, Richard W. Waak and Richard W. Waak Attorney at Law PLLC, the Receiver’s lawsuit is part of ongoing efforts to ‘
recover damages for the harms incurred by RVG
‘.
Zeekler has been focused on compliance since last year when the company hired the Nehra & Waak law firm to review every aspect of the Zeekler program to ensure all was in compliance.
Rex Venture Group was the parent company of Zeek Rewards, who Gerry Nehra very publicly represented.

To this day, how “the number one MLM lawyer in the world” failed to identify
the Zeek Rewards Ponzi scheme
defies belief.
Nehra and Waak’s improper and negligent actions, which breached their fiduciary duties to RVG and assisted RVG’s Insiders to breach their fiduciary duties, caused significant damage to RVG.
