Deepak Kanyalal Nandwani (alias Peter Shaun, alias Peter Nandwani), a Singaporean, had sometime in 1986 cheated several thousand members of the public in USA with a fraudulent mail order business through the company SanTennis & Golf in Portland Oregon. He has believed to have cheated more than 5000 customers during this period and have possibly escaped with an approximate US3 million dollars.

In USA (mid-1980s)

He was wanted in 3 continents by the FBI, Interpol, US Customs and the US Postal Service.

After managing to escape with a substantial sum of funds from the proceeds of the sale of tennis rackets and magazines, he managed to make a quick exit from the USA before the FBI, Interpol, US Customs and US Postal service were able to apprehend him. He managed to escape Portland Oregon and took refuge elsewhere.

In Singapore (2012-13)

After escaping the authorities he moved back to Singapore in 1996 and decided to settle down and set up a trading business. He married his girlfriend Jamila Niyat. He bought over an approximate 30 year old established sign company "Movitex Signs and Systems (S) Pte Ltd" and managed to secure loans from several banks and money lenders in the course of his trading business. His wife Jamila Niyat stood as a guarantor for the loans taken from the banks.

After a fall-out with his business partner, Mr Deepak decided to default on the payments due several banks and on a loan taken from a Money lending firm Ethoz Capital Ltd. He then decided to make another quick exit from Singapore by leaving the country immediately after arranging to sell of his residential apartment. Several civil summonses were issued against him and his wife (two of which by United Overseas Bank and the other by Ethoz Capital).

Both his wife and him were declared officially bankrupt on Thursday 29th Nov 2013 by one of the banks that they had taken a loan from in the Singapore's local newspaper the Straits Times.

He is currently required by the Insolvency & Public Trustee’s Office (under Ministry of Law) to report to their office to address all of the outstanding payments due to their creditors who have filed their claims with them at the Subordinate Courts.

  Here is more information on Mr Deepak Kanyalal Nandwani who is currently required by the Insolvency & Public Trustee’s Office under the Ministry of Law (in Singapore) to report back to their office to address the claims filed by several banks and other organisations against his wife and him. In accordance to the enclosed article extracted from Google News Achieve files dated 6th December 1987: 1. Mr Deepak used a forged Indian passport with under the name of “Shaun Ramchand Giovanni” to enter and reside in Aruba after escaping from the authorities in Portland Oregon, FBI and Interpol.

2. In the meanwhile, a number of innocent customers in the USA had lodged complaints against his now defunct Santennis store for mail orders that were placed (and paid for) that were left hanging and not fulfilled by him.

3. Mr Deepak resorted to instructing employees to inform their customers that there were problems with the shipping department that was causing delays in receiving the orders.

4. At the same time, he transferred about US$450,000 out of Santennis’ bank account out of the country.

5. He was eventually arrested and jailed by the authorities in Aruba when he was caught with the fake identity documents. 6. He then claimed to them that his purpose for visiting Aruba was to import camels from Sudan in order to set up tours for US tourists.

7. In an effort to extradite Mr Deepak for prosecution, the US government had filed a request to the authorities in Aruba that he be returned to the USA if and when he is released from detention.

8. But unfortunately, the case was complicated (at that time) by the apparent lack of extradition treaty between Aruba and the USA.

9. Mr Deepak was released soon after and he managed to escape Aruba to a foreign country and resided there till the 10 year statute of limitation of limitation was over.

10. He then returned to his country of origin Singapore where he went about taking loans from banks and money lenders and purchasing businesses on credit before escaping again with the loans granted to a foreign country.

11. His wife (Jamila Niyat Kanyalal Nandwani were both declared bankrupt by one of the banks that loans were taken from through IPTO, Ministry of Law in Singapore).
