According to Boston Globe, James Merrill was remanded into custody of DOJ after spending several days in a Federal facility in Rhode Island. At the bail hearing, Merrill's lawyer and wife affirmed their opinion that Merrill was not a flight risk and they are willing to sign over the deed of their house as security bond. On the other hand, DOJ lawyers stated that this may be the largest Ponzi scheme DOJ had ever charged in terms of possible victims and they simply can't take the risk should Merrill bolt (like a rabbit).
The judge has continued the case until Tuesday. Merrill will remain in Federal custody until then.

There currently is no further news on the Wanzeler or the other alleged co-conspirators, after Wanzeler's wife Katia Wanzeler was taken into custody... at JFK Airport (New York) with 4 suitcases (full?) and 3000 in cash... and a one-way ticket to Rio de Jainero, Brazil purchased for her FROM Brazil... who paid cash. She's being held as material witness... without bail, as she's considered a flight risk.

And it's already reported here that Wings Network, which "voluntarily shut down", was charged next day by Massachusetts SecState Bill Galvin as a possible reload scam following TelexFree. In a press release, Galvin stated that his investigators are now aware of a group of promoters and scams that targets the same group of victims over and over, and he will likely investigate even deeper to protect the citizens of the commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Washington, D.C., Abril 17, 2014 — La Comisión de Valores y Bolsa de Comercio (SEC) anunció hoy que el martes presentó cargos en contra de los operadores con sede en Massachusetts de un gran esquema piramidal que estaba dirigido principalmente a inmigrantes brasileros y dominicanos en los EEUU. Estos cargos se presentaron formalmente, en conexión con la solicitud de la Comisión por un congelamiento inmediato de activos. Dicho congelamiento de activos, que el Tribunal de Distrito de los EEUU en Boston ordenó el miércoles, aseguró millones de dólares de fondos e impidió la disipación potencial de activos de inversionistas. Luego de que el personal de la SEC implementó el congelamiento de activos, el tribunal quitó el sello hoy a solicitud de la SEC, permitiendo el anuncio público de los cargos de la SEC.Si quieres leer todo el articulo, por favor click aqui: http://www.sec.gov/enforce/Article/telexfree-press-release-and-complaint-spanish-version.html Ha habido muchas mentiras dichas por los partidarios de la TelexFree.
