My apologies for not posting as much as I should, some jerk stole my laptop and some other stuff. I’m just not sure how they gained entry into my house. So yes, I don’t have access to the internet at home and I’m using work internet to post, this might land me in hot water. If you guys know anyone selling a Huawei Modem at a reasonable price, please let me know, even if it’s used. It is quiet expensive to buy it here. Ok, enough of my self pity stories.
The Ombudsman is referring our case to the South African Police Commercial Crime Unit. They say the case involves more than they initially thought. They will CC me any email correspondence between themselves and Unit. I will be sending them that last email received form PeterB. They have also sent me PeterB’s response to our complaint (see below). Please be patient with me for not posting regularly, things will change as soon as get a modem.

Subject: Re: Complaint by S Malefane
Dear Malanee,
In response to the complaint made by Mr. S Malefane I would like to explain what transpired at the time.
1. I need to confirm that I am not a registered financial services provider. I did at the time ( just before the account was hacked) get an application number from the FSB to register which I gave up after things fell apart. The number given me in November 2006 is (FSP 29388). that as I understand it is my FSP application reference number.
2. As I understand it I think there is a period in which you need to register as an FSP, I think it is within 18 months of starting a business, during which time you are not to trade anyones investment for a period of 3 months. I never got that far to actually register but my intention at the time was to do so within the required 18 months.
3. At the time I made it abundantly clear to Mr. Malefane that there are real risks involved and that he should not invest anything he cannot afford to lose. I never expected that the website and e-gold account could or would be hacked tho.
4. Mr Malefane knew the risks involved and accepted them willingly, I am and have been since the hacking extreamly apologetic to the point of almost accepting responsibility on myself and even tried to raise some money to replace what was stolen by the hacker.
5. I invite you to please contact e-gold in your capacity as an Umbud and ask them to follow the money by tracing the accounts that it passed through as I know they keep all their records indefinately and they can see where it eventually ended up. This alone will prove that I never stole any money as my accusers claim.
6. Please find attached a copy of some of the transactions made by the hacker for your records and also for e-gold to persue.
7. Any losses that was made at the time were genuine trade losses and we really were hacked, something that Mr. Malefane refuses to accept. I have proofe that the money was stolen from our account and e-gold can verify that I never received any of it in any way simply by following the money trail left behind by the person who calls himself Paul Roeder.
8. I had and still have absolutely no intention of stealing anyones money in fact I gave Mr. Malefane full disclosure, he has my telephone numbers and my physical address and my e-mail address which has not changed since or before the hacking. He has my full name and even knows my wifes name. A thief would be very stupid to give out all those details.
9. I have since then given up on trading.
I hope that this helps put this issue to rest for once and for all, and if there is anything further that you might need please feel free to contact me.
Best Regards
Peter Buchner
