Two things that I'm happy to certify:
1) iREIT has 0% ownership in any .eu names.
2) iREIT spent $0 on the .eu lottery.

Two things that nobody asked, you mean.
To the original poster and some of the people screaming "fraud" - There is absolutely nothing wrong with forming corporations in Europe, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with filing trademark applications in Benelux. Anyone who had looked at the rules for .eu names understood that taking those two steps were all that was required to apply for .eu names. The Benelux trademark system does not work the way the US trademark system does. If you have a problem with that, then your problem is with the people who wrote the rules, not with the people who followed the rules.

In fact "First European Technology Ltd." lists Marc Ostrofsky of IREIT as contact, so I fail to understand how can you claim otherwise with such a straight face?

He didn't "claim otherwise". What he did was a common thing that people who think they are clever often do in order to dodge a subject - say something that is very specifically true.
You can take it to the bank that the things he said numbered 1 and 2 above are likely to be absolutely and impeccably true. But if your question was intended more loosely as "are these guys applying for .eu names using one or more EU corporations and one or more Benelux TM applications?" then the answer is certainly yes, as anyone can determine from looking at the .eu whois data.
