To SEC officials, I am one of the victims of the GTV financial fraud case. I sent the money to Sara's VOG account. I request that the refund amount can reach more than 90%. If it is only 50%, most victims will feel that this amount is too small to pay for their normal living expenses, and the victims will also bear certain mental and property losses. In view of the huge amount involved in this case, I understand that you will definitely incur various fees and expenses when dealing with refunds. I hope you can control refunds to the maximum amount. Second, I request you to shorten the refund cycle so that the victim can receive the defrauded funds as soon as possible. Third, for victims who cannot receive refunds within the specified time, I hope you can delay the refund cycle for them and provide Chinese translation services to those victims who have poor English or are located in China. They cannot get refund information in time because of language barriers or security issues. Many Chinese people wire their pension and life savings to the United States, hoping that the U.S. justice can provide victims with relatively fair and flexible refund rules. Fourth, I request the SEC to refund the victim according to the investment date, rather than according to the size of the investment amount. The refund order should start from the remittance in April 2020 until to the end of 2021. Fifth, if all refunds have been refunded but there is still a part of the money that no one has claimed, it is recommended to take out a part of the reward for the victims who first reported GTV scam in May 2020, because it was their bravery and persistence that helped everyone to see through this fraud and provided a lot of helpful information to SEC and FBI. Sincerely, Chenglong
