It is high time for us clients to find solutions for ourselves. We need to put pressure on the authorities for the best solution. We need to ask them why they have been delaying this. We need our money.
It is pointless to depend on any lawyer, newspapers and middle men. As someone has rightly said herein, these are scavengers waiting to loot us further. Hope you all have learnt your lesson.
I agree with what you said. Based on what other said in this forum:
- you cannot file a class suit. This would have lessen the cost significantly. I really dont know why this is not allowed.
- police are not accepting complaints anymore. You need to go to dubai courts. and of course, you cannot just barge into dubai courts to put your case forward. You need to be represented by (unfortunately) expensive lawyers.
So what are the options?
- Find a cheap lawyer. Or a lawyer who will not charge anything upfront but will only get a percentage of the amount recovered. But of course, there are court fees, etc. which needs to be paid in advance (but at least not to the lawyers).That would be a good deal because considering that this is almost a lost cause, getting 80% of the amount (assuming 20% to the lawyers) will be more than enough. Im quite sure there was one law firm who posted this proposition before but cheerleaders branded them as fraud. But based on the facts now, i dont think youll find any willing lawyer with this condition. And by the way, the usual practice is that the court will order the full return of the capital plus damages and standard interest of approximately 12% per year - FYI for

- Wasta (aka influence/connections). Find an local who has good wasta and is willing to help you.
Those are the only options I can think of now. Dont go to extreme cases like directly contacting the royal family (or even using tweeter). I think one lady tried this earlier this year and I think shes in trouble
Again, recovery is a complex and costly process which does not really guarantee full return of your money. Unless SL has other personal properties to go after, there's no way to recover the cost for the lavish party that SL was throwing every month or the sponsorship fees given to FC Bardez. Thats why prevention is always better than cure. If its too good to be true,.... you know whats next.
