More Details on the Fraud Case Against Satvir Singh Birk:
The prison term was for 2 and a half years. Satvir Singh Birk was from the Gold Coast and received his sentence in the Southport District Court. ASIC (Australian Securities and Investment Commission) carried out the investigation.
They released a statement saying his actions were dishonest and betrayed his client’s trust.
However, this wasn’t the first time he faced charges of fraud from ASIC. He faced charges of fraud in July 2016 after an ASIC investigation. But he was able to get released under several conditions.
The charges pertain to his actions from September 2010 and October 2011. At the time, Satvir Singh Birk was an authorized representative of a financial investment company.
ASIC began investigating him when the company reported his shady activities to them.
There were multiple allegations against the former financial advisor. ASIC alleged that he was using his position to withdraw cheques from the client’s superannuation account without authorization.
Moreover, he deceived many clients into using the money present in their superannuation accounts and deceived them into investing in an illegal scheme.

Many news outlets had covered Satvir’s fraudulent activities but he didn’t want people to find out.
So, he began posting fake DMCA notices against these articles. A fake DMCA notice is when the culprit copies the original content, posts on their website, and claims that they are the original owner of the same.

Beware of him and any of his associates. There are plenty of scammers using such tactics to deceive others. You should be extremely cautious when dealing with them.
