First, Basic membership program (txhawb haiv – translate to “supporters/Sponsors”)
Second, Founders Program (Nres Haiv – translate “investors/Founders ")
FYI, Never the word “donation” was ever used. The word “Donation” how its use in Hmong phrases ( “pab nyiaj donation” "pab donation" “muab nyiaj donation” “muab nyiaj pub ua donation” ect...with the word donation/pub dawb).
The word “txhawb” example: By shopping at a Hmong store, I am supporting them. "Kuv txhawb peb Hmoob lub Kiab Khw ."
In order to “txhawb” I need to buy something at the Hmong store.)
Hmong Tebchaws now claimed/make excuse they only asked for donations. This is untrue. The word “donation” was never used at anytime before Oct. 2015 when they collected money from members. In fact, they told the listeners on their conference call that they don't accept donation. If one want to help, they must join one of the membership program.
Seng Xiong guaranteed all the benefits to all members.

Affinity fraud refers to investment scams that prey upon members of identifiable groups, such as religious or ethnic communities, the elderly, or professional groups. The fraudsters who promote affinity scams frequently are - or pretend to be - members of the group

(from reading one of this blog comments, this is not the first time Mr. Seng Xiong used the very same concept to scam the elders' hard earn money. sad thing for the Hmong. This kind of scam has been going on for 40 years now in the Hmong community-USA)
