Dalli daughter tells scammed investors that their money was “moved” in case of possible police raid or confiscation

This comment below was posted beneath The Malta Independent’s interview with John Dalli. Janie is one of the elderly American ladies, members of a Christian group, who have lost their life savings after being persuaded to invest them in what purports to be a gold-trading/mining operation, run for Christian charitable purposes, but which is really a giant Ponzi scheme designed to scam people out of their money.

Debbie Wicker is the Christian operative middleman, working for Mary Swan/Lady Bird by befriending members of this Christian network, in Carolina, and persuading them to part with their money by first gaining their trust.

The victims were told that the operation is run by Tyre Ltd, and were asked to wire their money to an account number registered at HSBC Bank in St Julian’s, Malta. The holder of the account is Corporate Group Ltd, one of John Dalli’s businesses, and it is marked as a client account.

Claire Gauci Borda is one of John Dalli’s two daughters. The other is Louisa Dalli, who also works for him. They were the main liaison points with Mary Swan, who they routinely addressed and referred to as ‘LB’ (for Lady Bird).

As the email quoted below indicates, Claire nee Dalli’s excuse (as reported by Debbie Wicker) for the investors’ money going AWOL is that it was moved to a “another location” in case there is a raid on the Dallis’ offices and homes, precipitated by “the press and legal happenings surrounding her father and his relationship with a Mary Swan”.

The investors did not know Mary Swan as Mary Swan, but as Lady Bird.

I found it…..This is what Debbie Wicker (our middleman) sent all the Pool folks about our funds that we were trying to get back from Malta……dated 2/28/2015 –

Dear Pool Participants,

I am going to be as upfront and as transparent with you on where we are with the pool as I know it to be. This morning I received a phone call from Claire, the former CPA of the pool. She explained to me in fairly good detail her position and when and what she had done with the pool since I was no longer coming to Malta. At some point in 2013 the funds remaining in the account that had not been secured (set/aside) by the present gold trade/buy were moved to another location so that if any of the press and legal happenings surrounding her father and his relationship with a Mary Swan should have ever led to a full raid on all of his offices and or family, there would be nothing confiscated that belonged to the pool participants.
