We refer the business entity “Intense Live” and its founding member, operating
officers, and agents to the United States Department of Justice for criminal
investigation and possible prosecution. This referral document and the supporting
exhibits included herein detail conduct on the part of Intense Live and the individuals
referenced that in our legal opinion may constitute a conspiracy to fraudulently
induce individuals to invest in a business entity that was nothing more than a
“pyramid scheme.” Our investigation has learned of numerous individuals in the
United States, Central America and South America that have been victimized by
Intense Live, who have suffered losses totaling into the millions of U.S. dollars. As a
result of our investigation, we respectfully submit this referral and supporting
documentation to the United States Department of Justice.

Florida that “[t]he business [Intense Live] is not operating.” Id. That statement was
patently false. According to numerous Complainants, at the same time Intense Live
was filing to dissolve its LLC in Florida, it was continuing to entice and defraud
individuals in the United States, as well as in Central and South America.
In addition to the individuals listed above (Messrs. Santos Bispo and Mota
Lisboa), our investigation has identified a third individual who the Complainants
describe as an employee, and possibly an officer, of Intense Live named Armin
Velázquez. Information provided by the Complainants during interviews indicates
that Mr. Velázquez acted as a publicist and salesperson for Intense Live.

opinion that the manner and scope of the Intense Live conspiracy constituted a crowd
funding pyramid scheme.
According to the Complainants, Intense Live used interstate and
international wire communications to repeatedly contact them with promises of easy
and lucrative returns. Yet, the Complainants have instead lost the money they
provided to Intense Live, which has not provided any explanation.

concealed the nature of the conspiracy. Based upon the information provided, Intense
Live was nothing more than a fraud and its promises of lucrative earnings, use of
vehicles, prizes and travel as rewards for soliciting new investors were nothing more
than a glitzy pyramid scheme. The complaints presented to Retureta & Wassem and
Sierralta & Asociados support the conclusion that a criminal investigation is
warranted.
Conclusion
Therefore, based upon the information presented herein, as well as the
supporting exhibits provided, Retureta & Wassem and Sierralta & Asociados
respectfully refer the business entity “Intense Live” and its founding member,
operating officers, employees, and agents to the United States Department of Justice
for criminal investigation of their business practices and complaints by U.S. citizens
