MELODY FORT LIMITED (CS17 CHI)

MELODY FORT LIMITED (CS17 CHI) appears in the ICIJ Offshore Leaks network graph as a British Virgin Islands–registered entity incorporated on 7 June 1996, with the visualization positioning it as the central node linking corporate officers, shareholders, intermediaries, and administrative records. Its officer connections include director Michael L. H. Tsang, corporate directors Lion Secretaries (Cook Islands) Limited and Lion International Management Limited, and shareholders HSBC Private Equity Fund, L.P. and Private Equity Management BVI Limited; Portcullis TrustNet (BVI) Limited is shown both as the party responsible for records and registers and as an intermediary. The graph also connects the entity to HSBC International Trustee Limited in Hong Kong and to the address Portcullis TrustNet Chambers, P.O. Box 3444, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, effective from 9 December 2005. By linking MELODY FORT LIMITED to these people, companies, service providers, and locations, the visualization maps the entity’s position within a wider offshore structure, while the database records—current through 2010 and showing a “Transferred Out” status—do not by themselves establish the purpose of the arrangements or imply wrongdoing.
