REPORT OF FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY

Subject: Brendon Lyden
Alias/Title Used: Chief Investment Officer, Donegal Abbey Private Equity
Location Represented: New York, NY

Summary of Incident:
This report outlines a case of fraud perpetrated by Brendon Lyden, who falsely represented himself as the Chief Investment Officer of a private equity firm known as Donegal Abbey Private Equity. The deception resulted in the loss of a significant amount of money by the reporting party due to a calculated and intentional misrepresentation of financial and professional credentials.

Details of the Deception:
Mr. Lyden engaged in a deliberate scheme involving the presentation of falsified documentation, which included but may not be limited to:

• Fake bank statements;

• Fraudulent legal documents;

• Misrepresented financial agreements and/or investment assurances.

These documents were used to fabricate a narrative of financial credibility, professional legitimacy, and institutional backing, all of which were later determined to be false.

Mr. Lyden also cited a prestigious business address in New York City and referenced a network of professional contacts to further support the illusion of authenticity. This sophisticated front appeared designed to build trust and lend credibility to solicit funds under false pretenses.

Financial Loss:
As a result of this fraudulent scheme, the reporting party was defrauded of several thousand dollars, the exact amount of which is being documented separately with supporting evidence.

Background and Criminal History:
Subsequent investigations uncovered documents revealing that Brendon Lyden has a criminal record, which includes charges for assault and burglary. This legal history directly contradicts the professional image he projected and supports a broader pattern of deceptive and unlawful behavior.

Conclusion:
This matter represents a serious instance of fraud, misrepresentation, and potential criminal activity involving Brendon Lyden. The false portrayal of professional standing, use of counterfeit documents, and known criminal history form a concerning pattern that warrants further investigation and appropriate legal action.
