A Multi-Milliard Rial Scam* By A Baha’i Company in Dubai
- After the passage of 20 months it is established that this company not only did not build a single tower/high rise, but didn’t even obtain the properties for their construction! -
In an unprecedented scam involving the amount of 2,150 milliard rials (which was taken from Iranians who had invested money for the purpose of obtaining property in Dubai), a high-rise/tower construction development company connected to the Baha’is in the United Arab Emirates has committed fraud.
According to reports by [the newsagency?] MAWJ (wave), approximately 20 months ago the company ‘Reliance’, which is connected to two Baha’is by the names of Farhang Rahavi and Elham Sabeti, took money from Iranians in a pre-sale/‘on plan’ venture capacity, which involved 60 percent on the sale value [of properties], totalling 724 million dirhams (equivalent to 1,950 milliard rials).
With the sale of two [corporate] projects (a German named ‘Solar Star’ and the Emirati named ‘Al-Mahara’), this company as well demanded the sum of 75 million dirhams (equivalent to 200 milliard rials) from Iranians for the purpose of buying property, and obtained it.
Farhang Rahavi, who is an Iranian national with an American passport, then traveled to Dubai with the aim of organizing an association for the defense of the misled Baha’i cult. He - who sometime before, due to his involvement with other fraudulent ventures, had earlier fled Iran - married Elham Sabeti (the former wife of Dr. Mahbubi, i.e. the community head of the misled Baha’i cult in Dubai), and with the company named ‘Reliance’ entered the real estate property market in Dubai.
This company, in pursuit of illegal transactions, then obtained the sum of 2,150 milliard rials from Iranians for 22 completed towers/high rises with the two German and Emirati [corporate] projects.
It should be mentioned that amongst this collected sum approximately 1,110 milliard rials (equivalent to 112 million US dollars) has been transferred out of the United Arab Emirates and over to the United States of America.
The buyers [i.e. investors] are of the opinion that through the agency of one individual named Pezhman Riazati, who is also a Baha’i, their money was sent out of Iran over to the United Arab Emirates and then transferred to the United States.
The defrauded Iranians in seeking redress with the legal courts of the Emirates are as yet unsuccessful in obtaining hearings, and moreover their cases presently stand in a state of limbo. Some of the bigger Iranian real estate companies in Dubai, who likewise had dealt with this company in the past, at the present time have also not been able to contact the company owners of ‘Reliance’.
A few years ago, in regard to foreign investments and transactions in Iran, the Chief Justice of our nation had in some cases specifically warned about unknown companies without identity.

I love how all references to the Baha'i religion are as "misled Baha'i cult". It clearly shows the bias of the author of the article. Additionally, the author betrays a complete lack of understanding of Baha'i leadership, since he cites Dr. Mahbubi as the community head. No individual can be "the community head" in the Baha'i religion. All power is invested in councils that are elected. One might be a highly- regarded member, or may sit on such a council, but one cannot be "the head" of the Baha'i community in any locality or nation.

Mostly what I love about this sort of article is that the actions of two Baha'is (if these allegations are accurate) implies connection to the religion. If I was defrauded by two Muslims, I could hardly blame the entire Ummah for my tribulations. Similarly if I were accosted by Christians, I could scarcely conclude that the entire community of Christian believers are supportive of these actions. There are no "Baha'i companies" in the formal sense, unless they are specific agencies of the aforementioned councils, such as some publishing trusts, etc. There may be companies owned by Baha'is. These companies may behave poorly. Their owners may behave poorly. This sort of article is sad, because it's such a transparent cheap-shot at the Baha'i Community whilst telling the story of an allegedly legitimate case of fraud. The victims of this fraud are not served by taking pot-shots at the "misled cult", but their pain is made irrelevant.
I'm not even sure why I'm bothering to post in this group, since I have not seen healthy discussion of issues and philosophies in years. But I thought I'd comment, since I happened upon the post.

Good.

It actually shows the universal appreciation of your cult as a misled cult in Iran and throughout the Mid East.

The community head of Dubai, yes, no misunderstanding there. The author is not beholden to rehearse your politburo manual of doublespeak diction verbatim. This individual is a prominent member of the Dubai bahaim community, perhaps the most prominent, so he has accurately designated "head".
> No individual can be "the community head" in the Baha'i religion.
Surely they can.

Because there are clearly established precedents of linkage amongst you Haifan Bahaim between your business vocations and corruption. Your religion and corruption go hand in hand like two portions of a turd! Parviz Berjis is a case in point, Farhang Holaakooee is another! The husband and wife just arrested by the FBI are yet another...
> There are no
> "Baha'i companies" in the formal sense,
Yes, there are. In Iran before the revolution there were even two formal trust companies: Sherakata-i-Nawnahalan and Sherakat-i-Umana.
>Their owners may behave poorly. This > sort of article is sad, because it's such a transparent cheap-shot at > the Baha'i Community
Because you Haifan Bahaim are *cheap*. The point the article draws attention to is the linkage of activities by 'Reliance' and, without naming them, the MidEastYouth/Muslim NetworkforBahaiRights which these monies defrauded were obviously funding. Perhaps the NSA or some other Haifan front company is the recipient of the 112 million US dollars 'Reliance' pilferred, maybe even the Tahirih Justice Center or some dud outfit linked to it. Perhaps the IRS should be brought into the loop, after all this is the era of the Ernie Madoff's and co.

Then don't post. No one put a gun to your head to come here.
