Dated: June 6, 2025
McKinley Investment, LLC (“the Company”) hereby issues the following official statement regarding certain legal proceedings in the United States involving Solvet Services LLC and OfficeMart Inc.
1. No Involvement by McKinley Investment or Halen Bach
Based on all information and evidence currently available, neither McKinley Investment nor its CEO, Halen Bach, had any role in initiating, directing, or benefiting from the actions underlying these cases.
These disputes arose entirely from fraudulent acts committed by an overseas individual, Bee Singh (BHUPINDER PALL SINGH), who, without authorization, used Mr. Bach’s name, identity, and professional title to execute what appear to be forged contracts and falsified invoices. These documents were prepared and circulated without the knowledge or consent of Mr. Bach or McKinley Investment. To the best of our knowledge, no funds from these transactions were ever received by Mr. Bach.
2. Victims of Identity Theft and Procedural Defects
This matter is the direct result of criminal identity theft. The fraudulent activities took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, while Mr. Bach was residing outside the United States. Although some court documents were apparently delivered to a U.S.-based mail address, Mr. Bach did not receive timely notice of these proceedings. In reality, the relevant documents were only provided to us in bulk several months later, well after critical deadlines had already passed.
As a result, Mr. Bach had no meaningful opportunity to appear in court or present a defense. Default judgments were entered without adequate notice, constituting a violation of fundamental due process rights.
3. Reason for the Delay in Seeking Vacatur
One of the primary reasons the filing of a motion to vacate these judgments has been delayed is that Bee Singh’s whereabouts were unknown for an extended period. Significant time was required to conduct legal filings in the relevant foreign jurisdiction, as well as to locate and secure all evidence necessary to assist in the U.S. proceedings. This process—both the international reporting of the crimes and the gathering of critical documentation—was essential to ensure that any motion to vacate would be fully substantiated.
For these reasons, and pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 60(b)(4) (void judgment for lack of jurisdiction or due process) and Rule 60(b)(6) (extraordinary circumstances), the Company and Mr. Bach will now proceed to seek full vacatur of these judgments.
4. Actions McKinley Will Take
McKinley Investment Group will:
Pursue Criminal Investigation: Provide all collected evidence to international and domestic law enforcement agencies to initiate formal criminal proceedings against Bee Singh and any associates involved.
File Motion to Vacate Judgments: Present the U.S. federal courts with a Motion to Vacate Judgment, supported by official FTC Identity Theft Reports, police reports, and documentary evidence demonstrating both the procedural defects and the extensive efforts taken to gather evidence.
Fully Resolve All Related Cases: Take all necessary legal steps to bring the Solvet and OfficeMart-related proceedings to a prompt and definitive conclusion.
5. Commitment to Integrity
McKinley Investment operates with absolute transparency, legal compliance, and integrity in every jurisdiction in which it does business. We will vigorously defend our name, our leadership, and the interests of all stakeholders against any false or misleading allegations.
This statement stands as an official record: McKinley Investment and Halen Bach are victims — not perpetrators — in these matters. We will ensure that truth and justice prevail, and that our reputation remains untarnished.
