Dear Mr. Alfsen,

Before I ask follow-up questions, I would like to know if you are willing to come to Hong Kong to provide a formal witness statement, which can give us a full and detailed version of your case? Also, in case there is a criminal offense and someone is to be charged to a Hong Kong Court, are you willing to come to Hong Kong again to testify in court?

Although the online communication is already so advance nowadays, I am sure you agree with me that it is inefficient for us to Q & A between us through emails. So far, I am still confused by your answers and attachments That's why it is highly preferable if you can come to Hong Kong to provide a witness statement first. Based on the witness statement, we can then access clearly whether your case has criminal elements in Hong Kong.

Despite the above, I have a few follow-up questions: Are all your transactions/ purchases you have made through Atlantis Financial l(AF) fake? What did you do to confirm that these transactions/ purchases are fake? Please provide more details. Can you send us a list/ table listing all the transactions you have ever

made with AF? The table/ list should include (Type of product, name of product, date of purchase, amount, payment method, payment details etc)

I want to have a clearer idea on your transaction history with AF from the beginning to the end.

You have mentioned in your previous emails that you had conduct background search on Hibber Bothwell (HB) and AF before investing in them? What did you do to background search in fact?

After HB "disappeared", what made you trust AF that AF would take over your investment for you?

You said that you transferred the money to Prime Express Ltd because it was the shares owner. Can you provide more proof on this?

In your attachments, there is one receipt issued by the Nettbank that you have paid Euro 186,400.65 to purchase 162091 shares of OTEC.

Nettbank is a genuine bank. If the OTEC is fake, why would the Nettbank issue such a receipt?

Last but not the least, I assure you that we are trying our best to understand from you about your case.

Best Regards,

Detective Senior Inspector

## Dear

Thank you for your answer.

I will try to answer your questions:

1. Norwegian police and " Finans- og korrupsjonsgruppen "

## (finance- and

corruption group of the police) have terminated their investigation. Their reason is that "based on political guidelines they will not prioritize such cases". But they have suggested that they can assist foreign investigations.

2. Yes you are correct; only Atlantis Financial claimed to be situated I HK.

3. Through my dealings with AF I was led to believe that I bought and sold shares in various companies. I received receipts and confirmations, and account statements to that effect. But each time my dealings should result in transfer of funds to my accounts, some unforeseen incident (very well

explained) occurred that required transfer of my funds into new stocks - and additional funds was needed to conclude those transactions. The last (and

final) transaction was a "restructuring" of a transaction from a land-based to an off-shore deal. This required more funds than I could rise, and the result was that my position was not a part of this transaction and I was "stuck" with the shares. later on it has been made clear to me that neither AF of the alleged companies in which I had shares, ever existed.

4. The transactions to Hang Seng Bank payments for shares in a company called Go To Solar Inc., an American energy company according the receipts.

## (finance- and (cont.)

The reason the funds was transferred to an account in the name of Prime Express Limited was that this was the owner of the shares.

5. The connection between Hibber Bothwell and Atlantis Financial was explained as a take-over by AF. There is no explained connection between AF and First Private Equity Group other than FPEG's knowledge of my ownership of energy-stocks shares. which They contacted would give me him on a behalf tax-gain. of an investor who had interest in buying my shares - as an investment in

Dear Mr. Alfsen,

I confirm that I have received a total of four emails from you, dated on 16th and 18th March 2013.

I have read through all of them and have a few follow-up questions. Please answer them one by one for easy reference: You have mentioned that the Norwegian police has "concluded" the case, what do you mean by "conclude"? Does it mean that they have terminated investigation? Why have they concluded the case?

For the three investment companies you have mentioned (Hibber Bothwell Capital, Atlantis Financial and First Private Equity Group), I can only see that Atlantis Financial claimed to be in HK with a HK address. Am I correct?

As far as you know, can you explain in details how this Atlantis Financial has defrauded you? As I can see in your documents, you have purchased a few products from Atlantis, but I cannot see clearly where is the crime?

I notice that you <u>have transferred money</u> for 3 times to a Hang Seng Bank Ltd bank account ( ) with account holder name Prime Express Limited. Can you explain what you have purchased from Atlantis in these 3 transactions? What happen to these products until now? Why did you

## (finance- and (cont.)

transfer the money to this account but not a bank account in name of Atlantis?

As far as you know, is there any relationship between the three companies? If yes, what is the relationship and how do you know such relationship?

Regarding your communication with the USA authority, I am afraid I am not in a position to give you the email address of You may approach her through the channel you were using before.

Thank you for your attention.
