I’ve been meaning to follow up on that business opportunity, and it’s actually been on my mind lately, especially with the oil and gas sector still buzzing in Texas. I’ve been reviewing some of the recent developments in offshore leasing, and it’s made me wonder if there’s a way to leverage something like a secure, transparent financial structure for a new venture — especially one that could grow across regions. Before I confirm any details, I just wanted to make sure I’m understanding correctly: you’re saying that the payment of Twenty-Five Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars is being processed through the Asia American Bank Trust in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and that I’d need to provide personal information — name, address, country, phone number, WhatsApp, and a scanned ID — to get access to a private online account? Also, could you clarify if the bank requires any specific type of ID (like a driver’s license or passport)? And what kind of verification steps would be involved? I’m thinking about how I might need to coordinate with a legal advisor or accountant to make sure everything is compliant — especially since I’m based in Houston and have a lot of work with oil and gas litigation, where compliance is a top concern. I’d love to move forward if everything checks out. Just wanted to get a few more details before I jump in. Looking forward to your reply, Danny Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415

Thank you for your questions.   Kindly note that there is no need of involving a third party in this case please kindly protect my security as well.   Your Identification is the normal Copy of your International Passport or your   state-issued driver’s license or a copy of your utility bill.   You have to send your kyc to the bank which is the normal way of bank transaction.   They can only call you if there is something that you did not understand well apart from that no one calls you.   Please there is no special requirement that you should require to send.   If there is anything you don't understand please kindly do well to ask me.   Thanks,   Fred.            Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2026 at 11:10 AM From: [redacted] To: [redacted] Cc: [redacted] Subject: Re: Dear Mr. Danny Smith., Hi Fred, Thank you for the detailed explanation — I truly appreciate how thorough you’ve been. It’s actually quite fascinating to think about how a secure, offshore financial structure could support a venture in the oil and gas space, especially with all the recent developments in offshore leasing and joint development agreements we’re seeing in the Gulf. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately — you know, in Houston, I used to walk past the old Exxon plant on 10th Street and still remember the days when drilling rigs were practically everywhere. Now, with the new seismic data and environmental compliance rules tightening up, there’s more interest in transparent, well-documented financial frameworks. That’s why I’m genuinely curious about the bank’s verification process — especially since I’m dealing with contracts and liabilities every day, and I’d want to ensure this aligns with both legal standards and financial due diligence. Just to confirm: do you have a direct contact at the Asia American Bank Trust in the U.S. Virgin Islands? And if so, what kind of ID do they require — for example, a U.S. passport, or a state-issued driver’s license? Also, is there a specific verification method, like video ID or a bank officer call? I’m thinking about setting up a quick meeting with my compliance officer to walk through the process — maybe even a call to verify the bank’s legitimacy from their official line. I’m excited about this opportunity, Fred — really. I’d love to move forward as soon as the details are clear. Thanks again for your time and trust. Warmly, Danny Smith Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415

Thank you once again and it has been a nice discuss with you.   Please kindly send me the following:   Full Name: Address: Country: Telephone Number: WhatsApp Number: ID card: should be in attachment (A copy of your international passport).   I am going to get everything arranged from you and once I conclude I am going to send a pre-advice to the Asia American Bank Trust through TELEX and note that immediately all information must be completely deleted and clear from the system to avoid traces being totally assured.   Take cognizant that if I don't send pre-advice with your information the Asia American Bank Trust will not have any information of this payment in your name at all. Please just relax. I am the one handling all things here, just follow my instruction there are no problems at all.    I am going to give you the contact person in charge immediately I sent Pre-Advice. I will then ask you to contact the bank to open the online account for you, don't worry about anything I am the one handling and in-charge.    Always follow my advice to you step by step.   I wish you can send me the required information accordingly,   Thanks,   Fred.              Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2026 at 12:06 PM From: [redacted] To: [redacted] Cc: [redacted] Subject: Re: Dear Mr. Danny Smith., Hi Fred, Thank you again for your patience and clarity — I really appreciate how transparent you’ve been. It’s actually been a while since I’ve had a conversation that felt this grounded, especially in a space where so many things seem to move in circles. I’ve been thinking more about the practical side of all this — you know, as someone who’s spent over 15 years working on oil and gas litigation in Houston, I’ve learned that even small gaps in documentation can create big risks down the line. That’s why I’m particularly curious: when you say the bank only calls you if there’s something unclear, does that mean there’s no verification process at all — like email confirmation, a video call, or even a simple phone check from the bank officer? Because in my experience, even offshore institutions follow some form of KYC protocol, and I’d want to make sure this one is solid before I send anything. Also, just to confirm — is the Asia American Bank Trust a registered financial institution in the U.S. Virgin Islands? I’m not asking for a full report, just a quick confirmation that it’s recognized or listed somewhere officially. That way I can cross-reference it with my compliance team. And Fred — I have to say, your email felt genuine, and that’s rare these days. I’m genuinely interested in moving forward. I’ll send over my passport copy as soon as I get your contact details. Warmly, Danny Smith +17163259415 Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415

Please be rest assured that you have no risk at all. I am assuring and reassuring you of 100% risk free on this matter.   I want you to relax as I will provide you with all necessary information from the Bank to enable them to open an online account immediately. The Pra-dvice will be  the Bank on your behalf because as of now you have no information with the bank.    Kindly exercise patience until I get all documents ready I shall definitely inform you the next thing to do   I believe that both of us have agreed and have confidence in ourselves and based on this I shall start the process today leaving every other thing for me to do the work.   Let's talk about the financing now that we have confidence in ourselves to do this transaction for our mutual benefits and that of our families.   I have some money to start this matter but it is not going to be enough  hence we do not need any break on this matter once we take off I will conclude same day and work on the telex same time and also clear off or wipe off every information cerning you about this transaction from here and no one knows about this accept both of us and even the bank doesn't know that it is a deal at all, hence my letting you to be silent over everything for now.   I have tomorrow to do this transaction if we can conclude today, I have to do everything humanly possible to conclude this matter tomorrow and definitely on Friday this week  the Bank will receive the Pr-Advice and I will patiently wait to receive their confirmation on friday within 2 hours of my sending so that I can retrieve the answer back from the Bank.     There are so many remarks that i have to make through the Telex program to the bank hence there will be no questions that the bank can ask you.   I wait for your confirmation before taking off for the transaction.   Thanks Fred.     Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2026 at 1:07 PM From: [redacted] To: [redacted] Cc: [redacted] Subject: Re: Dear Mr. Danny Smith., Send full Information. Hi Fred, Thank you for your continued patience and for the clarity you’ve provided — it’s actually quite reassuring to hear that you’re handling everything directly and that the process is being kept secure and private. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, especially as I walk through the Houston neighborhoods near the old oil fields and remember how much the industry used to rely on trust and solid documentation. That’s why I’m genuinely curious about the operational side of things — not just the paperwork, but how the bank actually verifies the transaction once the information is sent. Just to confirm again: you mentioned that the Asia American Bank Trust in the U.S. Virgin Islands is a recognized entity, and that it operates under standard KYC procedures. Could you possibly share a brief official statement or a link to their registration with the U.S. Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission? I’d love to see something that confirms legitimacy — even just a short notice or public record — so I can cross-check it with my compliance team. Also, when you say the bank only contacts you if something is unclear, does that mean they don’t initiate any verification at all — no video ID, no phone call, no digital confirmation? Because in my experience, even offshore banks require some form of validation, especially for large deposits. I’m really excited about this opportunity, Fred — I’ve been meaning to take a step in a new direction, and this feels like a solid first move. I’ll send over my passport copy as soon as I get your confirmation on the bank’s official standing. Warmly, Danny Smith +17163259415 P.S. I just went to the corner bodega on 10th and 25th — the one with the red awning — and bought a fresh coffee. I couldn’t help but think about how much progress the industry has made since those early days. Makes me wonder if this is just the beginning of something bigger. Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415

Please once things are done on friday I will send to you the contact information of Mr.  Luis Cheng he will provide you everything including opening the online account for you and take me by my works.   I have told you no one will call you onless you want to call and ask them any question.   Just follow my instructions. Kindly send me the information I requested accordingly.   You never talk about the financing from here both of us are in America and I know and beleive that you know where I am in the Apex Bank here.   Thanks,    Fred     Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2026 at 2:10 PM From: [redacted] To: [redacted] Cc: [redacted] Subject: Re: Dear Mr. Danny Smith., Send full Information. Hi Fred, Thanks again for your detailed and reassuring response — it’s actually quite refreshing to hear such clear, step-by-step guidance in a space where so many things feel vague or rushed. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, especially after walking past the old Gulf Coast drilling sites near the Ship Channel. There’s something deeply human about trust in financial systems — especially when you’re dealing with long-term partnerships, like the ones we’re building in oil and gas litigation. Just to clarify one more thing: when you say the bank will receive the pre-advice via telex and that *no one* will have access to this information, does that mean the bank will confirm the account setup *without* any follow-up contact from me? I’m asking because, as someone who’s handled countless compliance checks over the years, even offshore institutions usually require some form of confirmation — like a brief verification call or email — before finalizing a transaction. Would that be the case here? Also, I’m curious — is there a specific time window you’d recommend for me to send the ID copy (passport) after your pre-advice is sent? I want to make sure I’m not delaying anything, but I also don’t want to rush into something that might need a second review. I’m genuinely excited to move forward — and I trust you completely. I’ll send the passport copy as soon as we’ve confirmed the timeline. Warmly, Danny Smith +17163259415 P.S. By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask — do you have a direct contact at the bank? I’d love to hear more about how the online account opening works — especially if there’s a mobile app or portal involved. I’ve been trying to set up a few personal accounts lately, and it’s been a little tricky without clear instructions. Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415

Why are you not sending your Address    Why are you not saying anything about the financing?   Why do you send funny issues at the end of your mail?   I am not at rest with them all the time.     Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2026 at 3:10 PM From: [redacted] To: [redacted] Cc: [redacted] Subject: Re: Dear Mr. Danny Smith., Send full Information. Hi Fred, Thank you so much for your continued clarity and confidence in the process — it’s actually quite rare to find someone who moves with such steady, grounded professionalism these days. I’ve been thinking about how, in Houston, even the smallest details — like the exact wording of a bank instruction or the timing of a document submission — can make or break a deal, especially when it comes to compliance. That’s why I’m so genuinely interested in the technical side of this. Just to confirm: when you say the pre-advice goes out via telex and the bank confirms within two hours of receipt, does that mean the confirmation is *automated* — like a digital receipt — or do they actually send back a formal response that I’d need to receive and store? I’m asking because, as someone who’s reviewed countless offshore KYC protocols, I’d want to make sure there’s a clear, verifiable trail, even if it’s just a timestamped message. Also, Fred — when do you think the best time would be to send the passport copy? Should I send it right after the pre-advice is sent, or should I wait until I’ve received confirmation that the bank has processed it? I don’t want to miss the window, but I also don’t want to risk it being flagged or delayed. And just to be thorough — is there a specific portal or app the bank uses for account setup? I’ve been trying to open a few personal accounts recently and it’s been a bit confusing without clear instructions. If there’s a mobile login or verification step, I’d love to know how it works — especially if it’s something I can do on my own after the pre-advice is sent. Looking forward to your guidance — I’m really excited about this and can’t wait to move forward with you. Warmly, Danny Smith +17163259415 P.S. Last night I went to the old Shell storage yard near the 28th Street bridge — it’s been a while since I’ve seen that place. The way the sun hits the rusted tanks at dusk, I kept thinking about how trust in systems is built over time. That’s why I’m so eager to get this right. Best regards, Danny Smith +17163259415

YOUR NOT A SERIOUS PERSON   THANKS     Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2026 at 6:07 PM From: [redacted] To: [redacted] Cc: [redacted] Subject: Re: Dear Mr. Danny Smith., Send full Information. Hi Fred, Thanks again for your patience — I’ve been thinking about your instructions a lot lately, especially after walking past the old oil storage terminals near the Ship Channel. There’s something grounding about those old sites — the way the wind moves through the rusted pipes, the silence between the pumps, reminds me how critical precision is in legal and financial transactions. You know, even in litigation, a single misstep in documentation can unravel everything. That’s why I’m so focused on getting every detail right. To clarify: when you say the pre-advice goes out via telex and the bank confirms within two hours, are you referring to a real-time digital confirmation, or is it a formal reply that I’d receive via email or a secure portal? I want to make sure I’m not missing a key step — especially since I’ve handled dozens of compliance cases where even a small gap in timing caused delays. Also, when would be the ideal time to send the passport copy? Should it go immediately after the pre-advice is sent, or only after I’ve received the bank’s confirmation? I don’t want to rush, but I also don’t want to create a delay that might trigger a review. And one more thing — do you have a direct contact at the bank? I’d love to know if there’s a mobile app or portal where I can log in after the pre-advice is sent. I’ve been trying to set up personal accounts recently and it’s been confusing without clear guidance. I’m truly excited about moving forward — and I trust you completely.

Hi Fred, I appreciate your feedback — I’ve been thinking about the telex confirmation process again, and I want to be absolutely clear: I’m not sending anything frivolous or off-topic. Every question I’ve asked is rooted in my professional experience in oil-and-gas litigation, where even minor procedural gaps can lead to compliance issues down the line. That’s why I’m so careful about timing and documentation. To follow up: when you mentioned the pre-advice goes out via telex and the bank confirms within two hours, does that mean the confirmation is sent electronically — for example, through a secure message system or portal — or is it a formal written reply that I’d need to receive by email? I’m trying to understand whether I can set up a timeline based on that window, or if there’s a human review step that might take longer. Also, Fred — when do you think the best time would be to send the passport copy? Should I send it right after the pre-advice is sent, or only after I receive confirmation from the bank? I don’t want to risk it being flagged or delayed, especially since I’ve had to manage similar processes in past cases where timing mattered. And one more thing — is there a specific portal or app the bank uses for account setup? I’ve been trying to open personal accounts lately and it’s been a bit confusing without clear instructions.
