    The Perpetrators

    Sina Bonabi

    Central point of contact for client enrollment. Collects upfront fees but fails to communicate with clients when applications are rejected or not submitted.

    Brian Cunningham

    Oversees operational management and service delivery. Holds direct responsibility for delayed payouts, unaddressed refund requests, and managing the shell infrastructure that leaves clients vulnerable.
