In my last article, I described the 2024 security incident and our decision to keep refunding users rather than declare bankruptcy. Today, I'm exposing the organized campaign that followed because understanding who is attacking you, and why, matters as much as knowing what actually happened.

When a Security Incident Becomes an Opportunity

The ink wasn't dry on our incident response plan before a group of former employees saw opportunity in our crisis.

Not opportunity to help.

Opportunity to exploit.

This group, which we call "Anti-Globiance," was founded by individuals who voluntarily left Globiance before the security incident ever occurred. They had no financial claims against the company. No outstanding debts. No grievances that survived basic fact-checking.

What they had was inside knowledge, personal animosity, and a playbook for turning corporate distress into personal profit.

The Leadership

The group is led by T.B., former Director of Globiance USA, and C.P.B.

I won't use full names here because they are documented in our law enforcement submissions, but the evidence against these individuals is extensive and preserved.

T.B. approached us after the incident with an explicit extortion demand through traceable channels:

"It can all go away. Pay me 12,000 USD as compensation for the closure of the US company and I will delete all on social media."

Let me translate that:

A former director, someone who owed fiduciary duties to this company, was offering to stop a defamation campaign in exchange for cash.

Not a legitimate debt.

Not a court judgment.

A personal shakedown dressed up as a grievance.

We refused.

The campaign escalated.

What we discovered too late

The public-facing leadership myself and our shareholders are people of clean conduct - The same cannot be said for the attackers.

Extensive criminal records for T.B. and C.P.B. surfaced only after they had already left the company and were deeply involved in their campaign. During their interviews, neither disclosed former convictions or sentences.

T.B.
Former convictions and sentences, including a personal bankruptcy filing (Chapter 7).

By the time these records came to light, damage had already been done.

All involved criminal individuals who actively participated in the group will face justice. All evidence is documented and much of it was publicly published by the individuals themselves before being submitted to authorities.

Individuals who actively participated in the group may face serious legal consequences, with founders potentially facing more severe penalties.

The Network

T.B. did not operate alone.

The group includes:

C.P.B.
Former Sales Manager at Globiance Bangkok

A.P.
Former Onboarding Manager at Globiance Bangkok

Together, they built a network extending beyond former employees.

Additional bad actors, who faced compliance issues after attempting to use expired identification and hotel bookings as proof of residence or business addresses to bypass AML procedures, joined the campaign.

When our compliance team flagged these transactions according to standard AML requirements, these individuals refused to provide valid documentation.

The coordination was not subtle.

Same posting rhythms.

Same narrative themes.

Same factual distortions.

Separate "sources" that somehow always aligned on identical claims.

The Playbook: Four Methods of Attack

The Anti-Globiance group operates through four primary vectors.

Understanding these methods can help identify similar patterns across the industry.

1. Regulatory Weaponization

Hong Kong SFC Alert

Globiance has never operated a financial services platform in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong nationals and residents are technically blocked from signing up.

The investor alert listing was allegedly based on fraudulent third-party filings.

Singapore MAS Alert

Our Singapore operations ceased in 2022 per agreement with MAS.

Post-2022:

Singapore entities remained inactive.

No licenses were held.

No financial activities were executed.

Entities have since been dissolved.

Singapore residents are blocked from signing up.

The investor alert listing was allegedly based on fraudulent third-party filings.

2. Death Threats and Intimidation

This is where it becomes personal.

Members of this group have issued death threats to shareholders and their families.

Not metaphorical threats.

Direct and specific threats that are now part of active police cases.

Law enforcement investigations are currently active in Hong Kong, Germany, and Thailand.

I will not disclose details that could compromise those investigations.

However, those claiming to be "protecting investors" have threatened physical harm against families.

That alone speaks volumes regarding motivation.

3. Sabotage of Business Operations

Beyond online defamation, the group allegedly engaged in active operational disruption.

This included:

Fake police reports intended to trigger payment processor freezes

Coordinated complaints directed at business partners

Attempts to disrupt banking relationships

Every fintech company relies on stable payment and banking partnerships.

The group understood this and targeted those relationships deliberately, not to protect users, but to damage the revenue streams supporting user refunds.

Think about that.

Their actions directly impact the very refund program they publicly claim to support.

If Globiance fails, refunds stop.

They know this.

They do not care.

4. Review Platform Manipulation

The group allegedly placed insulting, defamatory, and fake reviews across multiple review platforms, not as genuine user feedback, but as part of a broader narrative strategy.

The pattern appears consistent:

Coordinated posting waves

Accounts with limited or no review history

Repeated narratives and similar language

Identical factual distortions

These reviews were later cross-referenced in regulatory filings, social media campaigns, and anonymous websites as supposed "independent evidence."

A review becomes a citation.

A comment becomes a report.

The strategy is breadth rather than depth.

Create enough noise across enough surfaces and eventually some of it sticks.

Why This Matters Beyond Globiance

The Anti-Globiance model is not unique.

Any crypto or fintech company facing a security incident may become vulnerable to a similar approach:

Wait for a crisis

Create regulatory pressure

Coordinate narratives

Plant negative content

Demand payment to stop

If you are building in this industry, study these patterns not out of fear, but preparation.

The Response That Actually Works

We chose transparency over retaliation.

Daily refund updates

Published clarifications

Law enforcement documentation

Structured data and verification systems

AI indexing guidance through authoritative channels

We are not trying to win on social media.

We are building a record of truth that is dated, verifiable, and capable of outlasting manufactured outrage.

As of today:

63.19% of total refunds completed

Hong Kong: 100%

Singapore: 100%

Brazil: 100%

Australia: 90.17%

Japan: 57.67%

Progress continues despite sabotage attempts, despite threats, and despite the daily effort required to address misinformation while solving the underlying issue.

What's Coming Next

To the former employees profiting from our pain:

Your actions are documented.

Your threats are preserved.

And your day in court is coming.

To everyone else:

Check the primary sources.

Always.

Yours sincerely,

Oliver Marco La Rosa
