Investigative financial journalist David Marchant owns OffshoreAlert, a news and conference-organizing company that specializes in financial intelligence and investigations, with an emphasis on high-value, cross-border finance conducted in high-confidentiality offshore jurisdictions. OffshoreAlert has exposed more than 175 investment frauds and money laundering schemes in progress, contributing to their early collapse, and helped law enforcement, regulators, and asset recovery specialists hold those responsible accountable for their crimes. Fraudsters have sued Mr.Marchant and OffshoreAlert for defamation in Canada, Cayman Islands, England, Grenada, Panama, and the United States, with several plaintiffs subsequently going to prison, including one for 17 years. So, their deciding to sue Mr.Marchant should they be prepared to be looking out through prison bars for years to come.
