I am close to someone who was defrauded by H.E. Satere Karenhatase. I made the introduction -- and I am ashamed to have done so.
Satere Karenhatase was an Ambassador at Large for the Maori Tribal Government of Aotearoa and Maori State Te Atua E Wa. This state and its government is not yet being accepted by the UN, but as Satere showed documents, I believe that there are attempts to get that done. I have also an actual copy of Satere’s official appointment letter from May 19th 2014 -- valid at that time, signed by the supreme chief H.E. Manukau from the Maori Tribal Government of Aotearoa and seemingly secretary of state for the Maori State Te Atua E Wa. In the meantime I have also the termination letter dated Aug, 5th 2016, signed by Mr. Manukau, stating that Satere Karenhatase is not Ambassador at Large anymore. However, according to his website satere.com (published sometimes later in Sept 2016) and his LinkedIn profile (https://www.linkedin.com/in/satere-karenhatase-490a248), he still tries to keep up his appearance -- falsely claiming diplomatic credentials.
As a matter of fact, he never had diplomatic immunity. Actually he used an unauthorized sovereign guarantee to defraud someone close to me - disgraced his position and the people he was formerly associated to. Instead of cleaning up his mess and paying simply back his debts, he pulled another scam and demanded that the person giving him the money needed to be compliant in order to be eligible for loan repayment. This compliance process would have only cost the pocket change amount of $20,000, non-refundable off-course -- and that all for payment "consideration".
In the meantime, I've been informed that this incident was not an isolated exception. Until very recently, I falsely believed that he was doing business with sophisticated business people. However, I now believe that his unethical dealing is responsible for damaging many more good hearted victims.
I see it therefor as my duty to warn other potential victims and to encourage them to better trust their instincts that something is seriously wrong with this person.
I am also calling other victim seeing this post to get in touch with me directly via eMail: Fake.Ambassador.Satere (at) gmail.com. Based on what I know, collecting on the money he owes you will be very unlikely, as he is often penny-less and literally homeless. His desperation is letting him defraud only new victims, while most of his (legitimate) business dealing seems to fall apart before they succeed.
His "Haudenosaunee Sovereign Storage & Depository" (HSSD) seem to be shady at best. I could not find any evidence that this business exists beyond his imagination.
Satere introduced himself to me as someone whose driver license was (recently) nullified by the state of Nevada because of his sovereign status. Additionally, because of circumstances out of his control he claimed to me that he has currently no access to the US banking system. He claimed to me also that he get for his ambassadorial activities $500K annually -- but I have reasons to believe that he got much closer to nothing from the Government of Aotearoa -- which raises in my opinion a lot more questions ... He also claimed that he was working on a deal that would have made him a few million dollar. He may have worked on these deals, but it is totally unfair and unethical to approach un-sophisticated people to fund these pipe-dreams. Moreover, it is totally unethical, even very likely criminal to use unauthorized, counterfeited sovereign governmental guarantees, which are not worth their paper, as promissory notes.
Just in case, Satere Karenhatase tries to swindle his way out by not knowing me – and claiming being again a victim of identity theft: I can say without any doubt, I know Satere Karenhatase, I can unambiguously identify him as the person behind the LinkedIn profile and behind the website satere.com and I have reason to say that his real name is Scott Gabriel. (see: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20141025141925-66254926-fake-profiles-and-misrepresented-profiles-on-linkedin)
Also, it seems that he has put a lot of his victims under NDA (non-disclosure agreement). He also has tried to intimidate me with his "aggressive" and "wolves-pack" lawyers ... I've challenged him to let them get in touch with me ... but I got being disappointment here as well …
Additionally, on his satere.com website, he made a pledge: "Governed by the highest ethical standards, the service(s) provided strictly enforce a policy of integrity, honesty, and professionalism with our work, and anonymity beyond confidentiality for all clients." This statement is sickening. It only adds insult to injury. May this posting and warning serve its purpose!!
He may delete his website soon … but I made a copy of it ... and there is the wayback machine on the internet archive: https://web.archive.org/web/*/satere.com -- Regarding the documents mentioned above. I am willing to share them with other victims so that they can bring forward criminal charges -- and if I get more cases together, than we as victims may have enough to get even the FBI interested in him -- so that they can build a cross-state criminal fraud case against him in the federal court system – which hopefully will give him the treatment that he has earned.
I have been another victim of his. Please see full report here with photos from others also.

Bottom line: If Satere/Scott speaks the truth about anything, it is so you will believe a much, much bigger lie.
MODE OF OPERATION: Satere is about 6'2" and 190-210 lbs. He is Mohawk – Native North American. He has as commanding walk, is a perfect gentleman, will insist on holding doors and favors the ladies, while demanding better treatment from the men of him and of their female co-workers. He works from libraries (for free wi-fi) and coffee shops, often with his own tea bag so he can get water and work from wifi on his phone and computer.
"FAKE BUSINESS" CARDS: He claims to be “Owner” of HSSD Depository (never built), and Ambassador for Aotearoa Embassy of New Zealand (a fake) never formed and not recognized by the government of New Zealand.
(**Call New Zealand Embassy in Washington, DC to confirm, as I did**). His business cards are impressively elaborate and were paid for with funds stolen from me.
The HSSD Depository was planned for but never built. (I learned directly from a contact of Satere’s, who could also confirm his other name: Scott Gabriel).
DESTITUTE: Initially, I gave help to him in very dire circumstances, believing his story of broken-heart by a girlfriend he publicly slanders on his website. Weeks later, he began "helping me" and then 2 months later, required a signature on a confidentiality agreement with the fake embassy seal. In emails, he often copies a "legal" email address in correspondence. He insists on "his excellency" and H.E. on his business cards for all purposes.
SECURITY: He speaks of a "head of security" - but I learned directly from said security, that he has never provided security for Satere, beyond training local law-enforcement or protection details. Satere gets a financial compensation "thank you" for making the connection. Satere inflates security's "regular rate" by about 3 times, then acts like he can get you a deal to have security for so much less... when the "so much less" is actually the normal rate.
HOME: This man has no known permanent address. His slate-gray 2015 Dodge Ram 3500 has a lift with automatic steps and extended mirrors. He has Nevada plates is listed for repossession for lack of payment since October of 2016. As of June 2, he had “Haudensaunee” lettered on the back of the tailgate. He has three different addresses in Las Vegas, Nevada listed on paperwork for vehicle, bank account, insurance, etc., but told me that his address for at least 1.5 years (as of June) had been Air B&B. He claims to work on reimbursements but has no money.
STOLEN: The Microsoft Surface book Pro in his possession was stolen from me in Atlanta, Georgia between June 2-4, 2017. As of Friday, June 2, he is no-longer associated with my organization, yet still lists my organization on his website, LinkedIn and other public profiles. He has been requested multiple times to return the computer and refuses. Computer listed as stolen on NCIC.
MONEY: Do not, under any circumstances give him money for any reason to pay for anything, if you’d ever like to see it again. Do not pay for things - ever - as he has a way of manipulating you into do it "for your own good" because he offered to "help you" with his high-end clients... so all he does/has must be high-end, of course.
He has a very well-planned and complicated story. His method is to draw you in with charm and offer of elaborate help, drown you in so much information and tasks, while he demands that you follow his instructions and financial requirements without question, then berating you when you cannot complete his expectations.
TARGET: Now, that I have spoken to a couple of people who "know him" I understand he preys on single women and independent contractors/self-employed who are hurting for funds or looking for ways to make investments. His truck, his personality and the nice things he has make him seem legitimate. He is nothing of the sort. He is a master manipulator and was abusive to me in every way, but physical.
When he doesn't get what he wants, he turns mean and condescending. I personally have proof of that now too.
Sadly, you will think initially that you can help him out of a very difficult situation. It is not the case. Run the other direction.
I met Satere through a friend of mine, Norma Ahuyda (a business contact of his) when living in Calabasas, California. He claimed to be selling a very high-end diamond and would get a sizable commission for it. At first, he was very charming and engaging. He complimented me often and stoked my self-confidence since I was vulnerable after a horrible break-up and failed engagement.
He would call me multiple times a day and even visited me in California. When he arrived, he said his credit card had been stolen, so he had no money, so I paid for everything for the five days he was there. I didn't think much of it, because things like that happen.
Satere drove a wedge between the friend I was living with, and I found myself without a home when he said I could move in with him in upstate New York. Having lived in Manhattan for most of my life, I was anxious to get back to the east coast, so we drove across the country back to NY. During that trip, I paid for everything, including food, hotels and gas. I was starting to have my suspicions then, but I was already in pretty deep at that time, and I needed a roof over my head. He really elaborated on how beautiful his home was, so I was hopeful.
When we arrived in NY, his two-bedroom home was a disgrace; the second bedroom was the size of closet. It was hardly furnished and had no heat at the time. He stored his clothes in cardboard boxes. He said he wanted to buy a house and even went as far as employing a real estate agent who took us on tours of multi-million dollar homes. I stayed there for two months with him and my two dogs (whom he verbally abused) until we got evicted. He said the house cost $1,000 a month, and I paid that rent to him; he wouldn't let me give it directly to the landlord who lived across the street. Why? Because he took that two grand and spent it other than paying the rent, which was only $500. I found this out when the eviction notice was placed on the door. I was furious at him, and he became enraged when I told him that I was on to his rent fraud.
Nevertheless, I knew I had to make other plans; however, he wanted to move to Montreal, and I needed a few weeks to come up with a plan for myself and my pets. I found an apartment in Montreal and paid the rent myself. After a few weeks, he came home from a "business trip," which was most likely a ploy to set up another unsuspecting female, and he was on some sort of drug. He threatened me with a large chef's knife, and I called the cops who sided with him. I packed my stuff up immediately and left. That was the last time I saw the man, but before I left, he stole two Movado watches from me worth $3K.
During the brief time we were together, he insisted I buy him a new cell phone, and I did. He racked up over $4K in charges due to using it as an international hot-spot for his computer. In 2010, it was costly to do that. I ended up having to negotiate with AT&T and pay the bill myself.
While I was with him in NY, all my things were in storage (a unit for which he said he paid for but never did), and when I went to retrieve them, he had changed the locks on the unit, and I had to pay the back charges. I stayed with a friend for a few days while moving my things. Satere stalked me and my friend at my friend's home. He stood across the street, staring at the house for hours and then circled the house at night. He also stalked my elderly mother in Pennsylvania. To say this man is disturbed is an understatement.
Bottom line, don't get personally or professionally involved with Satere/Scott at all or listen to anyone who speaks highly of him. His importance in life is all manufactured in his sick head. Once he realizes that you're on to him, he will verbally abuse you until you feel so badly about yourself that you don't have the confidence to leave. Also, his daughter lives in Montreal, and he uses her to establish credibility as a loving grandfather. Don't believe it; she's probably in on his scams. I'm not surprised he's been arrested. What does surprise me -- due to the fact I feared for my life -- is that he hasn't killed one of his innocent female targets yet. If this man enters your life in any way, shape, or form, run the opposite direction immediately and call the police.
