**Official Statement on the Closure of CIBUS FORUM**
Date: March 17, 2025
To Our Valued Customers, Partners, and the Wider Community,
It is with profound regret and a heavy heart that we, at CIBUS FORUM, announce the unfortunate closing of our company after 6 1/2 years of dedicated service in the industry. This decision comes in the wake of significant and highly distressing revelations involving Cindy Mattson and her company, EEO Consultants.
Our journey at CIBUS FORUM has always been driven by a passion for excellence and a commitment to integrity. Therefore, it is with great sorrow and disappointment that we disclose the misconduct that has led to our closure. After a thorough internal investigation, we have uncovered that Cindy Mattson, in collaboration with EEO Consultants, conspired to commit financial fraud that has severely impacted our operations and ability to continue.
EEO Consultants, under the leadership of Cindy Mattson, filed fraudulent documentation with the International Standards Certification Committee (ISCC) and the International Certification & Inspection Management (ICIM). It has come to our attention that they have actively engaged in the fraudulent misrepresentation of goods and services for financial gain. Such deceptive practices not only undermine the trust and integrity that form the bedrock of our industry but also financially harm those who fall victim to these schemes.
We have already taken the necessary steps to address this misconduct by reporting Cindy Mattson’s criminal behavior to the relevant authorities, including the ISCC, ICIM, the Hong Kong Corporate Registry Authority, and the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Legal actions are underway to ensure accountability and justice.
We understand that this announcement may come as a shock to many of you, and we share in your disappointment and frustration. CIBUS FORUM has always strived to uphold the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. The realization that we have been undermined by fraudulent activities is both disheartening and unacceptable.
To our loyal customers, friends, and partners who may have been affected, scammed, or threatened in any way by Cindy Mattson and her associates at EEO Consultants, we extend our genuine empathy and support. We encourage you to reach out to us. While CIBUS FORUM may be closing, we are committed to assisting you in connecting with the key investigators handling the fraud investigation related to Cindy Mattson and EEO Consultants. Your trust and support over the years have been invaluable, and we aim to aid in addressing your concerns during this challenging time.
In closing, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has been a part of our journey. The decision to close CIBUS FORUM is one of the most difficult we have had to make, but under the circumstances, it is unavoidable. As we navigate through this challenging period, we hold onto the hope that justice will prevail and that our collective efforts will bring about a fair resolution.
