EVIDENCE CHAIN
On February 28, 2013, 5:43:20 PM CST Markos Fuson of California, CEO of Alexandros, Inc. A Delaware Corp. [email protected] sent, via email, an attachment titled: 0228.pdf (3MB) to a Mr. Darrell Glasper of Baton Rouge, LA [email protected] with a subject line of Fwd: SOMO Letter of Attestation. Mr. Glasper forwarded me this same email with the same attachment Thursday, April 25, 2013 8:23 PM.
THE DOCUMENT
This three page legal size document (Letter of Attestation) purported to be from the Iraqi State Oil Marketing Organization and was signed by a Mr. Sarmad H. Abd, General Manager of Contracts, SOMO (State Oil Marketing Organization) with a CC: toAlexandros, Inc.and Governor John Percy de Jongh, Jr. (who happens to be the current governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands).
The document was dated 02/28/2013 (the same date it was sent to Mr. Glasper) with an ID number of 11378087 and addressed to Hess Corporation, 1185 Avenue of the Americas, 40th floor, New York, New York 10036, USA. RE: SOMO (State Oil Marketing Organization) Attention: John B. Hess, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
FRAUD ON ITS FACE
Having seen official SOMO documents I could tell on its face this document was potentially fraudulent. The SOMO logo was not correct, there was no contact information whatsoever, there was a marked absence of any Arabic lettering and the logo of the State Oil Ministry was missing. The letter referred to SOMO as the “State Oil Marketing Organization” when it is officially the State Organization for Marketing Oil. The content was unlike anything I’d ever seen, you could tell it was put together by an amateur fraudster. It purported to attest to Alexandros, Inc. and its CEO Markos Fuson’s special relationships with the Republic of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan and in gushing terms described the company and its “dream team” executives and how honest and connected they were. I had previously been on a conference call with this Markos Fuson and told Mr. Glasper, who arranged the call, he sounded like a name dropping, fast talking con man to me.
DISCRETE INQUIRY
Since I am aware that SOMO does not do business this way, through third parties, I sent the suspect “Letter of Attestation” directly to the Iraqi Ministry of Oil for verification on Thursday, April 25, 2013 10:35 PM to: [email protected] Verification Officer State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO) AL- Hay AL-Mou'tasim - District 724 - Street 17 AL-Muthana Street, Adjacent to AL-Resafa fun fai P.O.Box 5118 Subject: Discrete Inquiry: Attempt to Validate a Document Ref: Discrete Inquiry/Attempt to verify purported SOMO document. DATE: 0212812013, ID: 11378087, "Letter of Attestation" by "Sarmad H. Abd, General Manager of Contracts"
QUICK OFFICAL RESPONSE—FRAUD

REPORTED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
The alleged fraud was reported to the Baton Rouge/New Orleans FBI office on Friday, May 03, 2013 5:50 PM
PUSH BACK
I was contacted personally by Mr. Markos Fuson at 5:26 pm on Wednesday May 22nd, 2013 by phone from number 310-890-3207 and was accused by him of fabricating the above official document from SOMO. He stated that he was reporting me to the FBI and that the full force of the law would be brought to bear against me. I informed him that my document was genuine and proved that his was not, that I had already reported him to the FBI and I would love to meet him in court. I also informed him since he was so brazen as to contact me with a threat that I would make certain I plastered his fraud all over the internet so that no one else could be harmed by his scam. It was a short call lasting only 2 minutes, 47 seconds.
WARNING
It is my understanding from conversations with Mr. Glasper that Mr. Fuson and Mr. Abd have tried to pass this fraudulent “Letter of Attestation” off not only to Hess Corporation, but to Shell Oil in Houston, Chevron and the Governor of the US Virgin Islands (in relation to the closed HOVENSA Refinery on St. Croix) among others. If you have any information about Alexandros, Inc., Mr. Markos Fuson, Dr. J. M. Kootsey or Sarmad H. Abd please contact me or local law enforcement.

I received two threatening phone calls from Mr. Darrell Glasper in reference to a posting that mentions him on RipOff Report.com.
The first call was at 6:05 pm from 225-413-3810 wherein he stated I’d better remove his name from my posting or he would “Dust” Me that I was now playing with the “Big Boys”. He was very angry and I took his reference to “dusting me” me to mean that he was threatening to kill me. I did not say a word and only listened. He hung up after a few other expletives and threats. The call lasted 48 seconds.
I then texted him that the RipOff Report is a permanent record and cannot be removed by me and that it is now exclusively owned by them. I encouraged him to make a rebuttal and asked him what in my report was inaccurate? He did not respond.
He then attempted to call me again at 6:40pm and I did not answer. He left an incriminating and threatening message however….this is not a direct transcript but you will get the drift…
“…I never asked you to validate s**t…I wasn’t a part of mother f’king fraud and let me just tell you something… you’re gonna here from my attorney, I’m so f’kin upset I’m gonna dust you’re your f’kin a*s… you can play this for anyone you want to cause you’re wrong, you’re a no good son of a b***h to put my f’kin name on the internet dealing with fraud …I’m a straight shooter and I don’t back up…”
Again with a very threatening tone and using the “I’m gonna dust your f**kin a*s” comment again, which I take to mean he wants to kill me…you know “dust to dust”. This assumption on my part is further aggravated by the statement I’m a straight shooter, which I take to mean he plans on killing me with a gun perhaps?
It is Mr. Glaspers who is guilty of improper phone communication as spelled out in LA RS 14:285 as the recorded voice he left can attest to. I will attach the statute at the end of this post and you can be the judge.
As to Slander: The greatest defense against slander is the truth.
Slander is something Mr. Glasper knows very well.
Darrell Glasper, a former Metro Councilman of the City of Baton Rouge, LA admitted to paying for a slanderous flier during the 2008 mayoral race here that accused Mayor-President Kip Holden of having an adulterous affair with a woman before he was severely beaten by her husband.
In March, East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III said the allegations that Glasper helped spread scandalous rumors about Holden in 2008 were too old to pursue by the time they reached prosecutors in December.
The Louisiana Board of Ethics had referred a possible misdemeanor case against Glasper to Moore, who said the pursuit of any such allegations should have been initiated within two years of the Oct. 4, 2008, mayoral election. That is what state law requires, he said.
‘Somewhere, there needs to be a system of checks and balances established so that this doesn’t happen to anyone else,’”, quoting mayor Holden’s comments published March 30 in The Baton Rouge Advocate Newspaper.
Holden in the same article says, “These were some of the most-egregious acts I’ve ever seen in any political campaign.’’
Holden’s remarks in an article published Nov. 20 in The Advocate, Glasper and his associates were “out to destroy basically my family and those close to me.”
“Holden characterizes Glasper as being dishonest: ‘I hope this is a message not only to him and others … to run a race that’s fair and based on facts,’ ”
“Holden disparages Glasper as being so nefarious and corrupt as to deserve heightened scrutiny from members of law enforcement: ‘Those people need to be kept in check,’ ’’
After being caught red handed so to speak slandering the good mayor what was Mr. Glaspers response? To sue the mayor for slandering him!
In my case, I informed Mr. Glasper that he was involved in a 200+ Million Dollar fraud and emailed him the proof directly from the Iraqi Oil Ministry. Instead of thanking me he accused me of fabricating the Oil Ministry’s letter! That letter btw has been validated as genuine and is available to anyone who wishes to see it. Send your request to: [email protected] .
My initial assessment of Mr. Glaspers involvement was that of an unknowing patsy. Someone that may be guilty of bad judgment but not of fraud. However his terroristic threatening’s and foul language is causing me to reconsider whether or not he may be more deeply involved. He certainly had a lot to gain if the fraud was successful.
Normally when I show that an oil document is not genuine (which is part of what I do for a living) My clients or associates thank me profusely. Not so in the case of Darrell Glasper whos judgment is seriously compromised. This same Mr. Glasper forwarded to me another fraudulent document called and International Bill of Exchange (IBOE) with a face value of 7 trillion dollars! He actually thought it was real. I have verified that it is fraud through the US Inspector General’s office. I will be posting details of that fraud tomorrow.
I have informed Mr. Glasper that he should quit acting like a common street thug and that his actions constitute a violation of several laws and that I cannot be bullied. He can “Dust That”.
I will be posting an audio copy of Mr. Glasper’s threatening voicemail on the internet for all to hear and providing a copy of it along with all supporting documents to local news media outlets.
Looks like Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden was right about this guy!
Thank You RipOff Report for providing this forum.
