MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

CASTILLO, District Judge.

This suit represents the second attempt to litigate against the defendants in United States to recover for an alleged commodity fraud scheme that occurred principally in Hong Kong. In a previous case, plaintiff Py-renee’s President, Michael Mak, was unsuccessful in establishing jurisdiction over the defendant Woeom entities. See Mak v. Wocom Commodities Ltd., 1996 WL 388408 (N.D.Ill.1996), aff'd, 112 F.3d 287 (7th Cir. 1997). Unfortunately, this “second bite at the apple” does not fare significantly better.
