\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Antigua and Barbuda Investment Authority (ABIA) wishes to inform the public that it has come to our attention that an individual within the community has been using the Authority\u2019s name, branding, and likeness to promote an alleged \u201cinvestment opportunity\u201d that is not associated with ABIA in any way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABIA categorically states that we are not involved in, affiliated with, or endorsing any such promotion<\/strong>.

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To the individual or individuals responsible for this unauthorized activity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are hereby instructed to immediately cease and desist<\/strong> from using ABIA\u2019s name, branding, likeness, or any related material for promotional, financial, or representational purposes.
