A man named James Christopher, presented as the “authorized representative of Credit-Suisse has been repeatedly trying to foul trick with Blitz. It may be mentioned here that, following publication of a report titled “Taiwanese tycoon used girlfriend to hide tons of money” in Blitz on October 9, 2022, which was first published by the Organized Crime And Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), on November 4, 2022, this newspaper received an email from James Christopher who claims to be the “authorized representatives of Credit-Suisse”. In this email, James Christopher wrote:
“Your platform is hosting the fake content of Credit-Suisse. We represent Credit-Suisse and they have bought this to our attention. Credit-Suisse has not authorized the hosting of this content. Please remove this content from your platform as soon as possible as they are violating Credit-Suisse’s copyrights. This creates confusion among our client’s customers. Our client doesn’t own this site. We request this domain name be unregistered and removed on priority”.
James Christopher, who claims to be the “authorized representative” of Credit-Suisse did not provide any address or phone number in the email he sent to this newspaper. His website Hosting Abuse Reporting is shown to be parked by GoDaddy, which can only multiply anyone’s suspicion about the very integrity of James Christopher. It can be asked – as to why Credit-Suisse has appointed someone as its “authorized representative” who does not have any physical address or phone number.
It can also be asked – who this James Christopher really is? Is he representing Taiwanese actress Yen Ling-Ning, the girlfriend of Sun Daocun, who left her showbiz career to bear three children with the magnate during a long affair between the 1980s and 2000s?
The mischievous Taiwanese actress Yen Ling-Ning
Data from the Suisse Secrets project — an investigation into 18,000 leaked Credit Suisse accounts led by Süddeutsche Zeitung and OCCRP — reveals Yen Ling-Ning set up three accounts and filled them with tens of millions of Swiss francs.
Yen Ling-Ning opened the first of these accounts in 2007, a few years after police began investigating Sun over his role in the embezzlement of hundreds of millions of dollars from Pacific Electric Wire & Cable (PEWC) Limited, a company his father founded and he inherited managerial control over.
As this newspaper told James Christopher that his identity was suspicious and how in the world a “authorized representative” of Credit-Suisse does not have any physical address or a valid website, on November 19, 2022, in an email, the so-called authorized representative of Credit Suisse wrote in an email:
“We agree that the posting in question shares only the news and it is not a copyright. It was identified as malicious in error.
“We apologize for our mistake and any inconvenience it caused you and we would like to withdraw our request for removal”.
But surprisingly within hours of the above email the same James Christopher on November 20, 2022 sent another email stating:
