Ex-Israeli VP Steals Philippine Companies, Loses Them

This is a Philippine Press Club syndicated article. Click here for original version.

THE PHILIPPINES - The Philippine government successfully retrieved 3 state-run companies that were stolen by former Israeli Vice President SoulSalvage, revealed Philippine President Slothen in an exclusive interview with The Outsider yesterday.

The Theft

The historic DoHA Weapons company, California-based Nadir Moon Super Guns, and Nadir Moon Premium Iron in Siberia were all illegally transferred by then-Philippine Department of Home Affairs (DOHA) Director SoulSalvage from various government-owned organizations to his own private ones last November 16, said the Philippine President.


SOULSALVAGES'S AVATAR

"SoulSalvage had taken three governmental companies and transferred them to his own org," explained Slothen. "I suspended his access rights to the governmental orgs and handed them back to [former labor minister] Nikko_33."

SoulSavage then fired all the workers and changed the names of the companies to "Gold-Engraved Bullets", "q1 iron wih 2 active licenses", and "q1 weapon with 2 active lics", respectively, the latter two name changes indicatong his intention to sell same companies, inferred the President.

"He refused to hand over the companies, saying that he would give them back when the right time comes," said Slothen. "As weird and inappropriate as his answer was, he kept repeating it every time I tried to contact him."

The Takedown

"It was lucky that [newly elected Philippine Congress Deputy Speaker] Keegan Knoll, who knows him personally and is serving as my [foreign affairs minister], happened to have access to SoulSalvage's org," recounted the President. "Thanks to Keegan's help, two of the lost [companies] were successfully given back to DOHA accounts. However, [DoHA Weapons], the one that had been moved to the other org url=http://www.erepublik.com/en/organization/2005890]Israel State Lottery[/url was beyond our reach."


LASER PENZ INC LOGO

"Then, after some time SoulSalvage surprisingly handed over the company to Quin2k, who happened to be another of my new recruits being the deputy director in DOHA," the President revealed.

SoulSalvage

SoulSalvage, who previously was a prominent Israeli politician, was appointed head of DOHA in early November, which gave him easy access to the compromised government organizations.

"He was the most competent of the applicants. He had very good recommendations and I couldn't find anything bad about him," said President Slothen. "Since the background check didn't reveal anything alarming, I decided to hire him."

"It turned out the character behind SoulSalvage was something else than what I had seen or read about him," continued the President. "I couldn't believe he was the same person at all when I finally encountered him in IRC.

Shortly after the theft, SoulSalvage fled to South Africa, where he briefly gained citizenship before once again moving to Canada.

He is now resides in Ontario as a Candian citizen and member of the Democratic Action League.

Contracts

"We got the lost property back, and to prevent this happening ever again, we are working on a contract which every government officer is to sign from now on," explained Slothen.

SoulSalvage told me that, in retrospect, he really wasn't sure why he did it. The best explanation he had was, 'because he could,' which is why he suggested putting contracts in place before he returned the final business.

We talked a great deal before he handed it over to me and I didn't detect any malicious intent - he just wanted ePhilippines to be more careful about handing it's government orgs to a recent immigrant without any contracts or precautions in place.

SoulSalvage isn't a dirtbag. He did it so Phillipines would sign contracts. Force them into it. Once that was done, he would give them back.

The smattering of biased articles across the world aggravated me enough that I chose to write an article with a <a href="http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/i-quit-1-1063111/1/20">more objective slant</a>. Please read it before you make judgments based on the article above.

The reserve in DoHA Weapons was built up to its present level for over 3 months while providing the military its training weapons at the same time. That meant countless hours of management on my part and the sacrifices of a lot of workers who took a hit in their salaries just to ensure that the gov't has some decent weapons stockpile.

Then Soulsalvage, barely a week into the job, appropriates the companies for himself just for the lulz? Or to prove a point? Couldn't he just suggested a way to remedy the breach of security he saw?

I see a serious disrespect on his part on this incident - to those who've labored on those companies, and to Slothen, who had faith and trust in him.

Ok, just to add up to Nikko's comment.

I know &quot;HE DID NOT GAIN FINANCIALLY IN ANY WAY FROM THE INCIDENT&quot; but he could have gain financially, if somebody could have bought the other two companies that he stole.

For your information, the other two companies that he stole from Nadir Moon, a government asset, WAS OFFERED FOR SALE.

If he only intends to give us some lessons, why offer the companies for sale?
If we hadn't traced these two companies, it would have been gone and sold.

@Quin2k please do not say that the article published is biased, when in fact, you admit that you really don't know the whole story behind it.

&quot;SoulSalvage isn't a dirtbag. He did it so Phillipines would sign contracts. Force them into it. Once that was done, he would give them back.&quot; Aeroner, that sounds a lot like the logic Sadeh used to justify taking the treasury. &quot;I took the treasury, but now JmatH has less money then he would otherwise!&quot; &quot;I took your companies, now you have no choice but to write contracts!&quot; Personally, I don't think that's how a government should be run.

I suppose this will lead to some nonsense talk about how he was teaching them a lesson? It's ironic that the people who are trying to teach nations to be more secure, are the only ones who are actually threatening said security.
