US Department of Homeland Security/ US Immigration and Customs Enforcement

Claimant: Joseph Edward Riad 509 Schoolhouse Road Kennett Square, PA 19348

April 27, 1971

Single

This claim is based upon an incident which occurred on 3/11/2009.

Claimant Representative: 1) Gary Williams, J.D. (see attachment) 3800 Fairfax Drive, Suite 1712 Arlington, VA 22203

4:00PM PST

Incident occurred in Irvine, CA at the offices of the US Government, US Department of Homeland Security, Office of Investigation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 2302 Martin, Suite 275, Irvine, CA, phone 949-250-1950, Ext. 223. We allege that a US Federal Law Enforcement Officer personally received and refused to return documents of Mr. Joseph Riad, after representing that he was the sole person handling repatriation of subject high denomination bonds for the US Government. The actions occurred as a result of a meeting held in US Government Offices in Irvine, CA. Subsequent verification by the Federal Reserve of San Francisco confirmed that the purported official document on U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco letterhead dated March 31, 2008, and presented to Mr. Riad was not sanctioned by the Federal Reserve of San Francisco. The reason for turning over the property to the Homeland Security Employee was to allow said employee to work out repatriation of high denomination (1$ billion each) bonds printed by the Treasury Department, and sealed in special bronze boxes. Samples of these bonds had been brought solely for the purpose of temporary non destructive testing and sight evaluation to be facilitated by Mr. Jones. (Continued on attachments page 1 through 4).

15 Billion Dollars is US Treasury Notes of 1 Billion Dollars each.

2. Claimant Representative: (#2) Everett Vann Eberhardt, Esq. 11024 Melissa Ct. Fairfax, VA 22030 8. Basis of Claim (State in detail the known facts and circumstances attending the damage, injury, or death, identifying persons and property involved, the place of occurrence and the cause thereof) (Use additional pages if necessary.)

Continuation of 8: page 1
Agent Jones agreed to return the bonds intact after his analysis, along with the supporting documentation and microfilm showing authenticity to Joseph Riad within a week or so. Mr. Riad handed the selected specimen bonds to Agent Jones late in the meeting on March 11, 2009, in the conference room at the referenced Homeland Security office referenced in Irvine, CA (witnessed by one of his attorneys, Patrick Oxford of the Bracewell and Giuliani law firm of Houston, TX. On Friday, March 19, 2009, Agent Jones sent a terse email claiming the sample documents provided by Mr. Riad to Agent Jones for inspection and nondestructive testing were not real, but provided absolutely no information about the basis of his conclusion. Joe Riad subsequently called Agent Jones and discussed the issue with Agent Jones. In that conversation Agent Jones claimed that there were many reasons they were not real, and would not substantiate that claim to Mr. Riad but would to someone cleared for some federal security category. Agent Jones was very vague about the bond authenticity issue, claiming that the lettering and placement of words were the basis for his claim that the bonds were not real. Mr. Riad strongly disputed that, based on the detailed forensic analysis his experts had already performed. Following this telecom, Mr. Oxford engaged forensic scientist, Kermit Harmon, who was authorized to collaborate with US Government officials under the federal security requirement, but Agent Jones refused to allow such a meeting to occur. At the beginning of this meeting on March 11, 2009, attorney Oxford specifically asked Agent Jones if the meeting was serious, and did Agent Jones have authority to act on behalf of the US Government to repatriate the subject high denomination Treasury bonds, whereupon Agent Jones responded in the affirmative. Additionally, Mr. Oxford inquired about the authenticity of the letter (with a telephone number that was never answered). Mr. Jones specifically stated that the letter was legitimate.

Months later we learned from the San Francisco Federal Reserve Office that the letter was a forgery, and the San Francisco Federal Reserve Officer Lily Ruiz sent Mr. Oxford and Mr. Riad an email stating that the letterhead was fake, and that there was not and never had been any such person so named in the document (Mr. Davis) who worked for the San Francisco Federal Reserve Office. However, Mr. Oxford and Mr. Riad were assured in person on March 11, 2009, by Agent Jones that the letter was legitimate. In June, 2009, Mr. Patrick Oxford urged Agent Jones to clarify why the bonds were not returned. We received an email from Jones wherein Agent Jones claims we misunderstood him; that he never did any testing that merely he did some looking at the subject bonds. Additionally, Agent Jones claimed falsely that the Riad team agreed to provide him all the other bond documents and boxes. There are two (2) witnesses who will strongly refute this: Mr. Oxford and Mr. Riad who were both present at the 3/11/09 meeting in Irvine, the whole time. At no time did the Riad team agree to submit any other bonds to Agent Jones. In February 2009, a document was provided to Joe Riad by a Lord Gibson (former British counsel to another country) who had a letter from Agent Nick Jones saying that to get the supposed Mr. Davis at the Federal Reserve of San Francisco, one should call a secretary at another number (who did not work for the supposed Mr. Davis), and within a few days, Mr. Davis would call back if he wished to discuss the repatriation of high denomination federal bonds. Later, we learned there was no such Mr. Davis. Agent Jones confirmed the accuracy of this letter in the presence of Mr. Riad and Mr. Oxford on March 11, 2009.

8. Basis of Claim (State in detail the known facts and circumstances attending the damage, injury, or death, identifying persons and property involved, the place of occurrence and the cause thereof) (Use additional pages if necessary.) Continuation of 8: Page 3

The unlawful taking of the fifteen (15) bonds occurred in the offices of Homeland Security, Irvine, CA, effectively some time after Wednesday, March 11, 2009 (our team could not know it was an unlawrul taking until Agent Jones later refused to return the bonds, and then even later claimed he destroyed them, with no authority). We state sometime after because initially, some of the referenced Treasury bonds were submitted FOR INSPECTION ONLY, to Agent Nick Jones, in the presence of Mr. Riad, We believe the US Government is responsible for this matter because we met Agent Nick Jones, a law enforcement official of the US Government, in US Government offices, for the sole purposes of working out a means to receive compensation for the return of three (3) complete boxes of US Treasury Notes of $1 Billion denomination each, and had specifically brought some representative samples to be reviewed and returned to Mr. Riad following proper forensic examination. We had been directed to Agent Jones via Neil Gibson, a DHS contractor. Agent Jones confirmed the validity of the letter in the meeting on 3/11/09 in the presence of Mr. Riad and Mr. Oxford. Our team already had had multiple forensic examinations of the documents performed by experts, and are completely satisfied that the boxes, the notes, and the paper they are printed on is legitimate. Separately, we had already confirmed that the serial numbers are legitimate numbers for those bonds, and that the specific paper they are printed on is BEP paper (which has never been compromised). Therefore, Agent Jones, in the offices of the US Government in Irvine, CA, acting on behalf of ICE, received bonds belonging to Joseph Riad and refused to return them as he had agreed. These bonds have great value and Mr. Riad is entitled to compensation for the unlawful taking of Mr. Riads property by an official US law enforcement agent (namely Agent Jones). We received feedback from General Counsel Paul Wolfteich of the Bureau of Public Debt in October 2009, that the bonds held by Mr. Riad were not counterfeit. This information was transmitted through Stuart Eizenstat, Burlington and Covey, a lawyer in Washington who used to be Deputy Secretary of Treasury under the Clinton administration.
