Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You know they're scam, you said: " I came across this company in-person at a press conference in Hong Kong. The more I research, the more it seems to be fake. "
you already have a lot of information. Why do not you go look for a detective or do not you just report these scammers to the police? would be more practical and would be more effective.
