I warned you about Ronan's association with fraudulent individuals and his unethical dealings. International Living will feel the wrath of the many involved now because you & your entire corporate governance have chosen to ignore warnings sent to all of you. International Living have promoted other fraudulent non-licensed brokers with no CRECI registered such as Jon Chilian ( not American by German by the way ) Irineu, Rui Farias, Mike Colwill and your reputation and International Linving's is now at stake due to your own greed and ignorance.
Chilian needs to change the country of residence there are so many people looking to settle up with him. We do not know how a smart guy like Irineu permitted himself to get mixed up with this bunch but he might still have a chance to come out of this with his skin on.
Nobody likes working with Ronan from what all of the local professionals have told me and so did all of the upper class executives which see right through him.
Rui Farias is the best lawyer on earth...How is this guy still able to practice even in Brazil I could not tell you...He is one of the main sources of these problems making foreigners sign abusive illicit contracts and blowing smoke in their faces.
International Living basically got kicked out of Fortaleza so Ronan went to Recife. Shysters I tell you...
Mike Colwill and Sand Gardens...this company does not even exist or is registered in Brazil. All of these persons receive the payments outside of Brazil which is illegal and called tax evasion - A Federal crime in the country of Brazil.
We are looking for all of you and your corporations to make a public apology or we will expose you and all of the facts involved. There is a nice fat Class - A lawsuit coming up. So far there are over 100 persons in the group involved. After that you people should start thinking of how to repair the damages you have caused.
Somebody should start a blacklist of these scammers fraudsters readily available on the internet for anybody searching personal names or companies. Expose them to prevent them from doing it to others ! ! !

Farias seems to have hanged the name by which he is listed on the company website to the following: "Rui Barros Leal Farias"

I know Rui Farias in the context that he was the attorney that a real estate sales person, Jon Chilian, set me up with as a buyer. Rui Farias has extensive business dealings with Jon Chilian and was unwilling to take any actions that would appear awkward with regard to him. As an attorney in my experience he was absolutely worthless. Nothing that he ever did for me was completed in a competent manner. Phone calls that I asked him to make took months to get dialed. He took plenty of money from me, for reading contracts and for setting up a bank account, but it turned out that his reading of the contracts was incorrect and following his advice got me into big financial trouble when I wanted to cancel the contracts and get a refund. The bank account that he set up for me was useless as he was never able to prove to me that the account actually existed, and he could never get me an ATM card so that I could access my money in the account even after over a year of hounding him almost every day about it. Over a year into his setting up of the account, he told me suddenly and without any prior warning that I owed an additional US$600 for the monthly maintenance of the account which I was never able to access either over the internet, or through a phone number, or with an ATM debit card, apparently due to Farias' unwillingness to make the effort on my behalf.
