NOTA EDITORIAL: Esta serie de investigación, publicada originalmente en inglés ("A Special Report: The Harrowing Impunity of White-Collar Crime") y galardonada con un premio del LA Press Club en 2022, fue producida por Aitana Vargas para Investor News entre 2021 y 2026 (y continúa). La serie completa fue publicada después de que la justicia de Los Ángeles desestimara intentos judiciales por parte de una de las presuntas implicadas, Hadari Oshri, de prohibir su publicación mediante una fallida querella mordaza (SLAPP, en inglés). Este trabajo está protegido por la Ley de Protección de Periodistas de California (Cal. Const. Art. I, § 2(b); California Evidence Code § 1070). La Cronista no renuncia a ningún privilegio o derecho al proceder a su difusión.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE: On June 22, 2021, Hadari Oshri –Marc Lubaszka’s business partner– filed a frivolous civil harassment restraining order (CHRO) against me to stop the publication of my investigative series “A Special Report: The Harrowing Impunity of White-Collar Crime,” and any subsequent installments or future media coverage. On August 3, 2021, I filed an anti-SLAPP motion to strike Oshri’s CHRO petition. In a hearing held on September 13, 2021, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Doreen Boxer granted my anti-SLAPP motion and denied Oshri’s civil harassment petition for failure to sustain the applicable burden of proof. CA's powerful anti-SLAPP statute mandates that the losing party, in this case Oshri, pay the prevailing party's attorney’s fees. She also declined to go on a recorded interview or provide statements via email. This multi-part series is available in Investor News and La Cronista.

Complaintsboard.com first falsely marked complaints against Marc Lubaszka’s defunct Aurum Advisors and Gold Coins Gain as “investigated” and “resolved,” then deleted them entirely, replacing them with 404 errors, despite its policy requiring an official signed court order for removal.
First, the complaints were falsely marked as “resolved.” Then, they were wiped out and replaced by a 404 error.
For Marc Lubaszka’s tens of victims, witnessing their grievances disappear overnight from the controversial platform Complaints Board is the ultimate slap in the face, after more than a decade of unresolved claims, mockery and deceit, including Lubaszka’s phony settlement offer through Emerging Market Technology Management, as detailed in A Special Report: The Harrowing Impunity of White-Collar Crime.
Among the removed complaints are those from disabled and retired US veteran Steve Gern, who lost nearly $50,000 with Lubaszka’s defunct Aurum Advisors and Gold Coins Gain and never received his money back.
The company website, which has gone through an aesthetic makeover, states that “We do not remove complaints unless we receive an officially signed court order,” even if they are resolved. They also state the company does not remove complaints that comply with its Complaint Guidelines and claim to be First Amendment proponents.
The last snapshot captured by Wayback Machine in 2021 shows numerous complaints against Lubaszka’s gold venture and his team going back to 2009. One comment referencing Lubaszka’s business ties to fashion fairy entrepreneur Hadari Oshri did not appear in this snapshot. In the archived record, the platform claimed that “the complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction” – a claim sharply refuted by victims who remain uncompensated.
In a statement to Investor News, Complaints Board said: “We very frequently find ourselves pushing back against companies and individuals who attempt to bully us into removing content they simply don’t like.”
Complaints Board, however, failed to provide a valid reason for the removal of all complaints against Lubaszka’s gold businesses and refused to identify who initiated such takedowns. The company ghosted when pressed for a signed court order or confirmation that the complaints had been “resolved.”
As of July 24, 2026, Investor News has not located a single signed court record in which a judge ordered the removal of complaints about Lubaszka or his gold companies from Complaintsboard.com, but it has located multiple lawsuits involving Complaints Board’s parent company, Mediolex, LTD, which the platform successfully survived.
The company website claims to operate from Latvia and lists a US phone number that consumers may not use to file complaints.
This and other attempts to suppress victims’ grievances and media coverage have been documented throughout the years by Investor News, this reporter, and La Cronista, all of which have been targeted by cyberattacks. Recent Google search results show that images related to Oshri’s alleged PPE scheme and failed legal battles have been replaced by sushi, manga and irrelevant content.
*After this reporter survived in 2021 an anti–SLAPP motion against Ms. Oshri, as a matter of policy, this outlet no longer reaches out to Ms. Oshri, her then-attorney, John Tamborelli, Mr. Lubaszka, Mr. Rottkov and Mr. Seller for comment. But we remain fully committed to hearing and sharing their opinion should they decide to reach out to us by email: Aitana_investigations@protonmail.com
**This story will be updated as more information becomes available. Since image and document suppression attempts have been detected on Google, we are now creating a permanent archive at archive.org.
