Over 60 “VICTIM NOTIFICATIONS” were sent to I2G distributors before the Trial began in 2016, informing them they were Victims of fraud. This went on for seven years with no opportunity for the defendants to defend themselves. This amounts to 60 counts of government witness tampering before the trial.
The government manufactured a criminal case in more ways than just creating fake losses and victims through manipulated data. For seven years, i2G distributors were inundated with “Victim Notifications,” claiming they were alleged fraud victims of i2G. Although a small percentage of distributors sought refunds due to a relentless campaign of disinformation orchestrated by King, the majority were satisfied and, by MLM standards, were achieving above-average success. There was considerable enthusiasm for the new product launches at the first anniversary celebration.
FBI Agent McClelland distributed two biased surveys to encourage alleged victims to come forward. This was followed by 60 “Victim Notifications,” urging people to step forward and sign up for updates about the case. This disinformation campaign persisted for seven years before any individuals were convicted of a crime, leading witnesses to believe that fraud must have occurred. The prolonged period of misleading information, which falsely labeled i2G distributors as victims, should have been brought up in court. King and Agent McClelland assured distributors that they would assist in recovering their money. This assurance was particularly influential after i2G was shut down, as anyone involved in an unsuccessful venture would be eager to recover their losses. Despite the significant amount of witness tampering associated with an alleged $40 million pyramid scheme, the number of people claiming losses remained minimal. Even after the trial, when convictions were announced and distributors were encouraged to submit claims for restitution, the total number of mailed-in claims amounted to less than $1.5 million. This demonstrates the extent of the fraudulent actions committed by the government against the court.
Hosseinipour informed her attorney and sent him the victim notifications so that he could address the witness tampering and unfairness. However, her attorney had no idea what to do or that he could raise this issue with the Court. Hosseinipour has argued that ineffective assistance deprived her of a defense.
The initial biased FBI survey sent to the i2G distributor repeatedly refers to their purchases and distributorship as “investments.” It states several times that these are “investments” rather than simply labeling them as multi-level marketing (MLM) product purchases. Additionally, the survey provides an official FBI address: i2gFraud@fbi.ic.com. This raises significant concerns and suggests that the distributor was a fraud victim. Although the survey claims that no criminal charges have been filed and does not imply guilt, this is misleading. Notably, McClelland had previously submitted an affidavit to the court, alleging criminal activity in an attempt to seize Maike’s land in Kansas more than a year earlier.
During this period, the government and the FBI colluded with Chuck King, who was determined to dismantle I2G. His relentless campaign was driven by revenge after Maike informed King’s “postcard mailer” investors regarding his past and encouraged them to file small business lawsuits. King’s anger and desire for vengeance were both intense and highly effective. He directly contacted I2G distributors through phone calls, text messages, emails, and threats, informing them that the FBI planned to file charges and that they were on the “witness list.” These communications took place well ahead of the indictments in 2017.
McClelland testified that he did not conduct a background check on King or investigate the origins of his campaign. He described King as someone trying to help people recover their money. After seven years of dealing with Chuck King, did McClelland never investigate King’s underlying motives or even read the $10 million lawsuit?
After Marissa Ford improperly intervened in the settlement conference related to the $10 million lawsuit against Chuck King, King continued to directly contact, email, call, and harass i2G distributors. Before they were made public, he distributed sealed documents, including McClelland’s affidavit for lis pendens. Additionally, he posted daily videos claiming that the FBI was investigating and that charges were imminent. This campaign severely hindered the company’s ability to operate. King would follow the Google Hangouts, which showed a list of attendees, and start harassing them immediately after. Three of the witnesses at trial were direct results of Chuck’s actions, as they sent his 26-page form letters with his instructions to both the FBI and the attorney general’s offices.
Notably, Glen Logan was a defense witness for Maike in the trial and continued to get victim notification before he testified. Catrina Dugger was also a defense witness. Both testified that Chuck King destroyed I2G and their business. Both testified that they loved the i2G business and the i2G products, especially the fantasy sports.
Glen contacted the FBI to express his concerns about what he viewed as a biased, leading, and one-sided survey. He also contacted Maike’s attorney, Sol Wisenberg, to report the collusion between King and FBI Agent McClelland. The following documents outline the sequence of events he reported and provide evidence of this ongoing collusion. Notably, King boasted about his collaboration with the FBI, claiming that he played a significant role in “quarterbacking” the investigation against i2G.

Good evening Attorney Wisenberg,
I found the text messages that Catrina forwarded to me on April 7, 2017 just before Easter. It was at this time that I became aware of the forfeiture of Rick Maike’s property in Kansas. I had been tracking the Civil lawsuit against Chuck King on PACER but was not aware of the Government’s adverse action against Rick Maike. Chuck forwarded a copy of SA McClellan’s June 15, 2015 Affidavit. It was at that time that I found the USA v. Tabor Avenue case in PACER. AUSA Marisa Ford filed a motion to Intervene in the Civil Trial on April 13, 2017. I recall that the Civil lawsuit against Chuck was dropped within a week after Chuck sent these texts. The hearing would have been scheduled for Monday after Easter (April 15th). Therefore, I conclude that Chuck King had contemporaneous knowledge of the Government’s and the FBI’s movements with respect to a pending sealed Criminal case.
The “Victim” Survey letter sent out by the FBI (dated July 20, 2016, 13 months subsequent to SA McClellan’s affidavit) clearly states “No criminal charges have been filed against anyone, and the questionnaire is not intended to imply that they are guilty of any wrongdoing”. At the time I felt that Catrina was threatened by the tone of Chuck’s texts, considering G1E was considering calling her as a supporting witness. Several members of her group had been scammed by Chuck King’s I2G Postcards scheme.
Screenshots of Chuck King’s texts that Catrina forwarded to me are attached as is a copy of the most recent FBI email sent out to so-called “Victim Investors”.
I hope you will find this information useful.
Best Regards,
Glen T. Logan
