`
`Dear Mr Geyer,
`
`I am a user of HEX with the HID ZIM. Dueto mytrust in and support for the Whistleblower
`Movement, I transferred approximately USD 1.3 million to HEX over time. These funds represent
`the lifetime savings of my entire family, and I am writing with deep concern about myability to
`recover them through the ongoing forfeiture process.
`
`I urgently seek your assistance in confirming the following:
`
`1. Legal Representation:
`As the Himalaya Restoration process took place some time ago, I no longer clearly recall
`whether I submitted my HID through the platform and completed the authorization for you
`to act as my legal representative. Could you please verify whether I am currently included
`under your representation in this case?
`
`2. Account Suspension & Its Impact:
`In July 2024, I received a notice from HEX stating that my account had been suspended.
`I am deeply worried that this may negatively affect myeligibility to claim my assets in the
`forfeiture proceedings. Could you please clarify whether this account status has any impact
`on my rights or your ability to represent me?
`
`Given the upcoming ancillary petition deadline and the significance of these funds to my family,
`I respectfully ask for your promptverification of my representation status and the asset details
`associated with my HID. If there are any issues or additional steps I need to take to ensurefull
`participation in the claims process, please let me know as soon as possible.
`
`If you require any further information or documentation from myside, I will be more than willing
`to provide it.
`
`Sincerey,
`
`

`
`Hello, respected lawyer!
`
`I'm bothering you today in my busy schedule because I've run into a very difficult situation! My
`assets are on the list of assets frozen by the government this time (23-FBI-000051). Today is only
`two or three days away from the time to submit the materials online and mail them. Starting from
`April 1st, I have been trying my best to find ways to submit the petition materials as early as
`possible on my mobile phone. I thought it would be simple and easy, but I didn't expect that after
`operating it on my mobile phone for a few days, I was either stuck when filling in the name (it
`didn't fit the format after several hours), or I couldn't get through even though the tracking code
`was correct when entering the website. Now I'm on the 5th page of sending the fund materials. I
`uploaded a picture and sent it successfully, but I couldn't send other pictures when I wanted to
`send them. And it took me 4 or 5 hours. I thought I might as well go to the next page tofill in the
`following information (check that the long box next to the sending materials is notfilled in, and
`the othersarefilled in), but I can't go to page 6. Oh, it really makes me anxious. It's too difficult.
`I'm 59 years old and have invested more than 40,000 US dollars, which is a little savings that I
`have accumulated over many years. In mainland China, sending a letter to Xiliansuo is believed to
`be relatively risky (passing customs inspection). The deadline is only two or three days away. I am
`really worried that my savings over the years will be confiscated. After all, this is decades of
`accumulation. What if I lose my future? I am scared just thinking about it! Although we have
`never met. But I heard that our comrades wrote to you and received your reply, so I want to write
`you a letter for help to see if you can help me send the petition materials to the US Department of
`Justice or submit it online? Because I am worried that if I cannot complete the online petition
`submission on time, the consequenceswill be disastrous! Here I would like to mention that I am
`willing to bear all the expenses you need to help me, and I also look forward to your great help. I
`believe that with your help, things will become simple and smooth! Thank you! I hope to get your
`reply soon. May God bless and protect you with peace, health and joy! Good work and happiness
`for your family!
`3/4/2025,
`

`Hello:
`I have signed the affidavit regarding the petition for the Himalaya Exchange. Thank you
`very much for the help you have provided; it is extremely important to us!
`I would like to inform you and your law firm about some special circumstances
`regarding my situation, so you are aware! I made two transfers to the Himalaya
`Exchange(27500 +3805
`), but these funds do not appear in the government’s
`forfeiture list, nor are they reflected in my Himalaya Exchange balance! I hope you can
`assist in recovering these two transfers to prevent them from being seized by the U.S.
`government. The remittance documents are attached!
`Additionally, due to the passage of time, I have made multiple deposits to the Himalaya
`Exchange for which I can no longer locate the remittance documents. Please be aware
`of this!
`At the same time, since we are in mainland China, we face the constant risk of arrest
`by the Communist government. Because I provided my real name during the
`information update, I kindly ask you and your team to take extra care to protect our
`personal privacy! Thank you.
`
`I am very sorry that I mistakenly sent my email to your law firm’s general email
`address. Please protect my personal information. Thank you!

`
`A Himalaya Exchange Client Requesting Her Lost HID#
`
`ae
`

`
`Dear Mr. Geyer,
`
`| am a Himalaya Exchange client who signed up for the return of funds lawsuit against the DOJ through your website
`frttess7/himalayarestoration.com/ in December 2023, and | got my HID# in the process. Now, | want to participate in the
`forfeiture stage & claim filing process. But | can’t, because | have lost my HID#. | wish you could help find my HID#.
`
`Here’s the reason whyI’velostit.
`
`| used to sign up for the return of HEX funds is the email I’m using to send you this message, whichis
`The email
`6042020@protonmail.com Although | had used this email service for three years prior to that, | knew little about Proton
`Mail’s rather complicated safety features. | just knew that it used strong encryption methods, and| felt safer using it than
`otherwell-knownservice providers, like Gmail.
`
`Well, unbeknownstto me,it’s their strong safety features that would get me in trouble one day, as password reset could
`make my old data unseeable and unreadable. Proton Mail is protected by multiple layers of security when it comes to
`password resetting, which | find to be a form of over-protection.
`
`Normally, with other email services, you can just reset your password with a recovery email address or a phone number,
`and youareall set, gaining backfull access to all your emails in the account. But, that’s not the case with Proton Mail.
`
`it will make all your previous
`When you reset your password with a recovery email address or a phone number,
`messages unseeable and unreadable as they will remain encrypted with a disabled key. Apparently, they provide you four
`different methods to recover yourdata:
`
`1. Recovering your data if you remember your password
`2. Recovering your data using your recovery phrase
`3. Recovering your data using your recovery file or backup encryption key
`4. Device data recovery
`
`About a year ago, a seemingly hacking incident prompted me to change my password, and asa result, all my old data
`disappeared. | was pretty worried at the time, but | didn’t seek help from Proton Mail’s Support until recently. Since the
`hackingincident, | have reset my password several times.
`
`A few days ago, when | found out | need the HID# to participate in the forfeiture stage & claim filing process, | went over
`Proton Mail’s data recovery methods, and none of them worked. All my old messagesin the Inboxstill remain invisible.
`
`| contacted their support team. We’ve had emails back and forth, but the issueis still unresolved. | have no other ways to
`retrieve my HID#, but to seek help from you. May | ask you to helpfindit please?
`
`Thank you very much.
`
`Sincerely,
`
`
