A few days later, Russell informed me that he had received a threatening phone call from ‘someone Asian’. He claimed that Wesley had hired thugs (the same ones who supposedly burglarized his home a year prior) to follow him. Specifically, he said that the caller was able to correctly identify the route he took to work, what he had for lunch, and what he was wearing. He sounded terrified.

The next day, he told me that he had seen three Chinese men loitering around his place of work, and when he went to get lunch at a local Pret A Manger, the three men also entered the premises.

I was outraged that Wesley would once again resort to violence and intimidation to silence someone for speaking the truth about his crimes. I advised Russell to call the police.

I was aware that Wesley had his suspicions that I was the mastermind behind the expose. If he could send thugs after Russell, he could certainly send thugs after me. Spooked, I hired two armed security guards to patrol the perimeter of my house in Los Angeles for 24 hours a day. I also purchased several extra security cameras.

Russell informed me that he was going to have to leave his home because it was too dangerous. He said he arranged for his girlfriend and daughter to go to her parents’ place, and that he was staying in an Airbnb. He also said hired a private security officer to be with him during the day time. He claimed to be racking up expenses of £700-800 per day.

At this point, while I was stressed and anxious, Russell suggested to me that the only way to stop Wesley was to procure the evidence (of him committing immigration fraud) and report him to law enforcement authorities in the US. Once he was arrested or deported, there would be no further ways in which he could be a threat to us.

Unfortunately, I do not have screenshots of these conversations because this part of the chat took place on Telegram, and Russell deleted it entirely.

However, I was sent these voice recordings.
