Consultant services & threats

Source: Anonymous source

We have received information about several technical consulting services requested by Robert s’Jacob which have never been paid. These consultants are working Australia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc.

All the people who contacted us so far would like to see that legal action is taken against Robert s’Jacob.
Several key Cambodian officials and embassies based in Phnom Penh are informed about Jacobs fraudulent activities in Cambodia. It might be only a matter of time until he will be charged.

I was conned into providing technical consulting services to this mob back in 2010 and never got paid,  Instead I received legal threats from SC, my wife received anon’ death threats and my computer was constantly hacked ! After I alerted the Australian Police and ASIC the harassment stopped but nothing further seems to have happened.

This mob used some big names to develop credibility, In 2010 I attended meetings  with senior managers at: (JPMorgan (Singapore), Freehills (Singapore), Baker McKenzie (Melbourne), Delloites (Brisbane), Legispoint (Singapore)
Also associated: Bracewell & Guliani (New York), Rose partners (Melbourne) etc). EMCTAC P/L Singapore ~ Foo Yong Kwang (Malaysian)

Other potential sources of information I am aware of:
Petromin PNG (Joshua Kalino) and Sir Michael Somare
British Consulate PNG.
Nautilus Mining, Brisbane Australia (Shontel Norgate)
Australian Mining Consultants
A Helicopter/Plane charter Co in Cambodia (Kevin Torphy ?)
Canterbury Finance, NZ
Singapore Polo Club
FCC Phnom Phen
Phocea (yacht)

I suspect that his parents were: Pss Irene Romanov (b.Fontenay 7 May 1934); m.1st Biarritz 23 Dec 1955 (div 1959) Andre Jean Pelle (Biarritz 29 Nov 1923-Biarritz 7 Oct 1998); Which would make him a French national.

Dear XXX,

Thank you for your email under reply, it is always good to share concerns among friends. To start with yourself, we have at no point in time requested you for anything else than some simple information to be in a better position to make up our minds as potential donors. I recall to having been polite and forthcoming to you. I hosted our various meetings/ luncheons with pleasure. No related bills are outstanding which will be something easily verifiable for you if you so wish.

When we just take a closer look at the PCG audience you selected yourself to share your initial message with, the answer to at least part of your questions becomes particularly evident.

No one in his right mind will deny the existence of Prof Stampfer. We have been friends for quite a few years. Prof Stampfer is not the kind of person who would associate himself with dishonourable people/ organisations.

John Waters has been my close confidant since early 2005 and is a legal practitioner (solicitor) for 26 years. John has of course been in Cambodia and actually met quite a few people. There simply cannot exist any viable reason for anyone to question John’s existence.

SPG has been with us for umpteen years and has been present in meetings with enough people in town with whom his significant frame will have left such a lasting impression, that he will not be easily forgotten.

“geb@intorcinium.org” is Samoeun Taing’s email address. You have met with Samoeun at several occasions. Which will answer your question in that respect.

I am unaware of even a single undisputed invoice left unpaid. Of the many invoices that are paid indeed, two disputed invoices remain outstanding in Cambodia. Both invoices disputed on solid grounds. One of our external law firms is dealing with a matter that we take rather seriously and is still awaiting a simple reply to its ferocious position for almost a year now. In another matter we have suggested an, in our view, decent enough solution following significant disappointment in relation to services provided to us, this is well over one year ago now and we are still awaiting an sensible reply. Both non-responses will give you an idea of the strength of our position.

What is hardly disputed is our capacity to investigate and track down culprits. John Waters takes charge in several of those matters that we consider relevant to respond to. In this respect it would be most enlightening to better understand who your source(s) is/ are and what it exactly is they are referring to.

When you would be kind enough to substantiate your concerns and share with us where, when, and via whom, you were confronted with any baseless and malicious slander, we would be in a much better position to appropriately refute any such allegations. In return, I would then be pleased to invite you to Phnom Penh at our costs, pay for your stay and share with you in confidence what we actually do in the field of philanthropy and otherwise. Perhaps we would even be able to revisit our current position viz the SKMH as I am very certain that you will be pleasantly surprised by our activities. I trust you will understand that we have absolutely no reason whatsoever to disclose any of our charitable activities to any non-related third party and you will no doubt recall that we have always requested for confidentiality in the event we would be doing something together in this field.

I respect the fact you address your thoughts directly with me and decided to reply to you myself rather than leaving the matter in John’s so capable hands.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Lt Cdr Dr Robert s’Jacob
Special Envoy

Dear Robert,
I have been busy the last weeks and traveling abroad. Although away from Cambodia I did hear from “your/the Trusts/Primavera/” activities and wanted to get your feedback since I have met with you in good faith and intention.
In the meantime I do find the whole story very strange after I did hear that several people and institutions have been harmed financially and that various bills have not been paid. I have been told that the office and staff in New York is not existing and emails were not send by the people they claim to be and that the activities are a huge scam.
Since we had very enjoyable meetings together I wanted to ask you directly if all this information is incorrect and bad-mouth? You mentioned several times that it is no problem to prove that “you/the Trusts/Primavera/” is pursuing honest and leagal philanthropic/business activities. So far you have not sent any of these documents and I think it would be the best to openly provide this information?
I hope you are well and able to clarify the situation since I am not sure what to believe anymore.
All the best

Subject: SKMHDear XXX,

As discussed herewith some informal suggestions on an eventual way forward:

1) Philanthropy:

We very much appreciate Dr Kill’s efforts as well as the nobel cause of the hospital.

Sonja should be remembered in a proud way and when we would be allowed to assist in finalising the hospital in an appropriate manner we would make funds available for such a decent cause.

XXX will be drafting a statement for PCGL Legal in NYC confirming that the building is safe and in high spirits.

When you could provide some form of a (business) plan what it is exactly that management has in mind to improve on patient care c.a. including an overview of the related costs then we could request The Parent Trust for financial approvals;

2) Semi-commercial:

We are actively sourcing investment opportunities in the region, including locations like Kep, etc.

The level of service providing in the hospitality industry, one of the areas we are looking at, we have in mind would require some top-segment medical care. The first impression of the hospital is that with some serious investments the SKMH could play a role of significance particularly in the field of emergency medical aid to first world tourists.

Our focus would be on the operation theatres and all emergency related fittings c.a.

We would run the hospital on a semi-commercial basis where wealthy tourist pay and others pay less;

3) Commercial:

We could invest up to USD 10 M in SKMH and turn it into a commercial hospital with a niche for philanthropic work i.e. the really poor should be looked after. People interested to either get educated or otherwise assisted in life should be looked after.

I would very much appreciate a response from you on the above and continue our discussions. Since we last visited the SKMH we have been extremely busy. We are approaching the Holiday Season so it should be possible to again make the trip to the SKMH to see how things look in “action”.

Grateful for your thoughts.

Yours,

Mr. Robert ‘doing’ Southeast Asia

I had a brief encounter with this person some time ago. His modus operandi is the same in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Philipines.

Arriving at a new place, he will try to gain entry into clubs or entertainment places, where entry requirements are not too strict. Here he will seize any opportunity to engage with business people or people he can gain some credibility. Presenting his ‘high standing and wealth backing’, he has fooled many in the S E Asian countries he ‘operated’ in. He is a very good and smooth conman! He’s able to fool doormans to diplomats (including lawyers and corporate managers) with his false background.

Once, he has established some ‘relationship’ with someone, he then explores and seek business deals – either to invest, acquire or startups. He will always get a local lawyer or notary person to produce a testimony of his background. The companies/organisations, obviously do not exist or are cheap shells. The testimony regurgitate what is given, and obviously has a provision hidden somewhere saying so.

Example in Indonesia (circa: 2004):

Claimed credentials:

Des Jacob (Indonesia) Trust (Geneva-Switzerland); Blaxland Investment Ltd (BVI); Blaxland Australia Pty Ltd (ACN 106 616 595 – Australia)

Blaxand Australia Pty Ltd invited bids to build a International Hospital at Karawang, Indonesia.

Many construction companies were sucked into length meetings and presentations, ending in nothing. He obviously seek some gain in the process.

I believe he has problems with the law in Netherlands and is unable to return. He has been in SE Asia for more than 10 years – in Jakarta, Singapore, Malaysia and Manila. I believe he is ‘loosely’ fronting some people with illegal money in Europe. The Mr Gelms, mentioned in one of your article is probably his ‘boss’ and not one of his representatives reporting to him.

In the short encounter with him, I’m not aware of him securing any one of the many deals he seem to engage in. It’s always: showing his connection with wealth, intending to buy/acquire, engaging in meeting to purchase, then finding an excuse to withdraw. Why he does these? Obviously, for some personal gains or sniffing for opportunities for whom he is fronting.

Then, he introduced himself as Dr Robert Jacob.

His bio-data then was:
– Drs RLJEM Jacob (Robertus Leo Johannes Everisius Maria JACOB. – Robert s’Jacob came later).
– Born 11 April 1959. Nijmegen, Netherlands.
– Claimed Education: 1975-1988 – University of Leiden (Law), University of Amsterdam (Psychiatry & Medicine).
– Claimed Career:
1989 chief de Bureau Ministry of Traffic
1992 President, Jacob Trust
1999 President, Valentine Consortium
2001 Private counsel to Indonesian President A Wahid. Purportly, to recover some old Dutch treasures to return to the people of Indonesia.

Others: Altas Capital Fund, Cristal Capital Group.  Purportedly, in 2001 he acquired Indonesian nationality and has a Indonesian passport. His Dutch passport then was N30051944.

So, his corporate background has changed!

He has one or two daugthers back in Netherlands. He has not been back to Netherlands, but has been to some close-by countries in Europe to keep in touch with his daughters – probably not to see his wife (or ex-wife). Morale of the story: “even crooks have a soft spot”. To lessen suspicion, he was known to travel with an Indonesian woman with children.

Having ‘done’ Jakarta, Singapore, Malaysia and Manila, it’s no surprise that he is in Cambodia. When ‘done’ with Cambodia, he’ll probably move on to other SE Asian countries or elsewhere. However, not having a Dutch passport but an Indonesian passport (fake ??), his travelling may be quite restricted. One area to check, is to find out who pays his rent for the house he presently stays in!

Hahaha, he didn’t have the “Lt Commander” title then – probably a military title works in Indochine !

Good job with your website. This con artist should be exposed.

Intimidation strategy

High profile expatriate staff working in sectors like finance, international development, engineering, tourism, medical and law in Cambodia did experience this strategy of Robert s’Jacob/Primavera.

One of our donors wrote ….

      “Mr. s’Jacob claimed an interest to buy Song Saa Private Island in 2012. After contacting the owners and shareholders a due diligence was conducted to verify the assets of the island. During this process Mr. s’Jacob exploited several individuals and companies to gather damaging information.
