The SEC has been unable to find Craig Grant for service in Jamaica.
Instead, the regulator now seeks permission to impact service by way of e mail and publication.
The SEC sued Grant in Could 2021. The regulator seeks to get well over $1.3 million, which Grant acquired as certainly one of BitConnect’s high promoters.
Upon studying of the SEC’s lawsuit towards him, Craig Grant fled the US for Jamaica.
There the SEC has been unable to enlist the help of Jamaican authorities, as Jamaica just isn’t a signatory to the Hague Conference.
Unbiased makes an attempt to find Grant initially led to a residence in Spanish City.
Regardless of the person served being of roughly the identical age as Grant and having the identical three initials, that turned out to be a dead-end.
Renewed efforts to find Grant noticed the SEC slim his location right down to Rock Spring, Trelawny Parish.
As defined by the SEC;
Rock Spring, Trelawny, with largely unpaved roads and with residences missing particular road and home addresses.
Regardless of a course of servers greatest efforts to canvas Rock Spring, Grant continues to evade the SEC.
On February twenty second the SEC requested permission to serve Grant by way of e mail and publication.
Service on Grant by e mail comports with constitutional notions of due course of whereas selling the speedy administration of justice.
The SEC argues service by publication is suitable on this case, because it’s unlikely Grant is unaware of the SEC’s lawsuit.
there’s not less than a excessive chance that Grant has data of this lawsuit as a result of the Fee emailed him a courtesy copy of the Grievance upon submitting it and Grant seems to have left the US for Jamaica shortly thereafter.
As well as, the submitting of this case was broadly reported.
Along with that, I can affirm Grant is an avid reader of BehindMLM.
Grant has been fast to delete YouTube movies referenced on BehindMLM prior to now. Only in the near past we famous Grant going by “Dulse Poger” on Twitter.
Inside ~24 hrs of that article going stay, Grant modified his Twitter deal with to “Nibiru”:
One fascinating declare made by the SEC’s Jamaican course of server is that Grant resides along with his partner in Jamaica.
Someday between January 14 and 21, 2022, agent found that Craig Anthony Grant is married.
The agent knowledgeable me that Craig Anthony Grant resided along with his partner in Rock Spring.
I’m unsure how dependable this info is.
I’m conscious Grant married Victoria Misacova within the 2000s.
Vicky, as she was recognized, met Grant via an internet courting service.
As recounted by Grant;
I used to be deeply in love with the intentions to marry Vicky, this was the simplest if not solely method Vicky may get a visa to stay in Miami with me.
Within the months prior I had many conversations with Vicky about who I’m, and he or she knew I didn’t consider in marriage. I defined to her that I simply began making all this cash and I plan to do allot [sic] of touring and partying, and that she wouldn’t be the one girl in my life.
Grant and Misacova married in July 2000. What adopted was a sophisticated relationship between Grant, Vicky, escorts and different girlfriends.
A kind of girlfriends was Yuliana Avalos, aka Julie, whom Grant first met a number of years prior.
Over 2002 and 2003 Grant would father his second and third kids; two sons, one from Vicky and one from Julie.
Vicky and Grant break up in 2004. I’m unclear on whether or not they ever bought divorced.
Grant and Julie continued on and stay collectively. They by no means married.
Because the SEC came upon after they tried service, Grant deserted Julie and his son in Florida when he fled for Jamaica.
The Fee first tried service on Grant at his handle in Kissimmee, Florida in early June 2021, however was suggested by his former girlfriend at that handle that he had relocated to Jamaica (at an unknown handle).
Julie just isn’t solely nonetheless with Grant, she’d travelled with Grant to his grandmother’s property greater than sufficient instances to know the place it’s.
We all know Grant and Julie are nonetheless collectively, as after he fled, Grant would repeatedly add voice calls to Julie and publish them to certainly one of his YouTube channels.
Grant deleted these movies in late 2021, shortly after BehindMLM reported Grant was doubtless going through indictment within the US.
In any occasion until Julie has left the US someday between December 2021 and now, Grant resides by himself.
The property adjoining to the place he’s staying belongs to his grandmother. Whether or not she’s nonetheless alive is unclear.
Potential situations that come to thoughts are
- Grant has married Julie and he or she’s moved to Jamaica; or
- There’s some shenanigans happening with authorities information, making it seem like Grant resides with a partner when he isn’t.
In any occasion the SEC have requested permission to impact service via three newspapers out there in Jamaica.
If accepted, the SEC will publish a discover directed at Grant
as soon as weekly for 4 consecutive weeks, within the Jamaica publications Jamaica Observer and The Gleaner, and within the Worldwide New York Instances.
The Fee understands that every of those publications is broadly circulated in Jamaica.
A call on the SEC’s movement stays pending at time of publication.
Replace seventeenth March 2022 – The SEC was given permission to serve Grant by way of publication on March 1st.
Replace twentieth June 2022 – On June seventeenth the SEC filed a movement informing the court docket that service by publication on Grant is full.
The court docket has scheduled a Standing Convention for June thirtieth.
Replace 2nd July 2022 – On June twenty third the court docket canceled the scheduled June thirtieth Standing Convention:
The convention scheduled for June 30, 2022, is canceled.
As above, no rationalization for the cancellation was given.
