Law Enforcement & Regulatory Liaison
This page is designed for law enforcement, regulators, and oversight agencies who may need structured access to records involving Chad Eugene Willis and associated entities (including Plus Brand Industries Inc., Agua Plus, and related brands and shells).
It provides a high-level map of what is available, how it is organised, and exactly how to request full, unredacted material for investigations, enforcement, or regulatory review. As of 20 November 2025, this includes formal FOIA confirmation from the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS) regarding Prohibition Order #06-4287, with official copies preserved in the Evidence Vault and cross-referenced in the Timeline of Conduct.
Important: This page does not publish sensitive victim identities or unredacted personal data. Those materials are held in a Restricted Vault and released only to verified authorities or their authorised representatives.

On 20 November 2025, the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS) issued a formal response to FOIA Request #20477. In summary:
- The request for “a complete copy of Order of Prohibition #06-4287” was granted; the official order has been supplied and is preserved in the Evidence Vault.
- Requests for amendments, enforcement records, internal memoranda and related investigative material were denied on the basis that such records are confidential under MCL 445.1670(1)(d) and MCL 15.243(1)(d).
- DIFS explicitly confirms that information obtained in examinations / investigations is confidential and may only be disclosed to the Attorney General, other regulatory agencies, law-enforcement officials, courts, or as part of enforcement actions.
Practically, this means: the prohibition order itself is confirmed and on record, and the existence of examination / investigation material is acknowledged, but the underlying regulatory files are available only to authorised public bodies. Copies of both the FOIA response letter and the Order of Prohibition #06-4287 are stored in the Evidence Vault and can be provided directly to verified agencies upon request.
- The prohibition order and its scope are now formally verified by the issuing regulator.
- Any ongoing or subsequent financial-services activity by Chad Eugene Willis may raise prohibition-breach and fitness / honesty concerns.
- Regulators and law-enforcement agencies with jurisdiction can directly request DIFS materials under the statutory channels described in MCL 445.1670(1)(d).
- This site is structured to complement, not replace, those channels by providing a consolidated evidentiary map, victim-side documentation, and pattern analysis across ventures.
All public summaries on this page are drawn from the FOIA response and the face of the Order itself. The site owner does not alter, truncate, or reinterpret those primary documents.
