Letter to OffshoreAlert from Sencer Sevket, a.k.a. Sendjer Shefket.

Letter From Law Offices of Jack B. Swerling to Sendjer Shefket.

Motion to Dismiss and Order of Dismissal in USA v. Sendjer Shefket at the U. S. District Court for the District of South Carolina.

The web-sites of two companies whose dubious activities have been highlighted in recent editions of OffshoreAlert have been dismantled over the last few weeks; On February 12, 2007, OffshoreAlert received an email from Kristen Lawson, a “Legislative Advisor” with Miller Thomson LLP, a law firm based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada; Telecommunications and cable television firms in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands have been dragged into a long-running legal dispute over the ownership of a $900,000 airplane that was damaged in Hurricane Ivan; Under Prime Minister Keith Mitchell, Grenada has become the poster country for corruption and banking fraud; OffshoreAlert recently learned that U. S. Bank N.A. obtained a default judgment for $21 million against British-based alleged fraudster Sendjer Shefket and his British firm Target International Funds Ltd. at federal court in the USA on May 24, 2006; Convicted white-collar criminals who believe they are punished too severely in the United States should be thankful they don't operate in China; and While the U. S. legal system does not yet offer death as a punishment for fraudsters, it is still less than hospitable for convicted white-collar criminals, as Martin A. Armstrong can attest to.

Default Judgment for $21 million in U.S. Bank N.A. v. Sendjer Shefket and Target International Funds Ltd., both of England, at the U. S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.

Perhaps in an attempt to limit the negative effects of a criminal complaint and - still outstanding - arrest warrant that were issued against him for alleged investment fraud at the U. S. District Court for the District of South Carolina on March 7, 2003, British-based, Cyprus-born businessman Sendjer Shefket, 46, has started using the name ‘Sencer Sevket' in his business dealings; 2005 was a busy year for offshore-focused attorney Nigel Scott Grant, 65, in more ways than one; and Japanese victims of the Imperial Consolidated Group are finding out first-hand just how useless the United Kingdom's Serious Fraud Office is when it comes to investigating and prosecuting serious fraud.

British national Sendjer Shefket, who has been subject to an outstanding U. S. arrest warrant for two years concerning an alleged investment fraud, has been accused of perpetrating another alleged scam.Shefket is one of several parties in civil litigation that was initially filed at the U. S. District Court for the Western District of Washington on September 23, 2004.
