A 'defrauded' investor has claimed Hunter Biden's bank records could help solve the mystery of billions of dollars that have gone missing in China, as he filed papers on Monday seeking to get involved in Biden's Arkansas paternity case.

Joel Caplan requested Judge Don McSpadden to make him a third party in Lunden Roberts' suit against Biden, asking the official to 'follow the money', according to court papers obtained by DailyMail.com.

Biden, 49, was hit with the paternity case from Roberts, 28, in May. She wants full custody and child support for their 16-month-old baby.

Now, in a 30-page filing, Caplan lays out how he was allegedly swindled out of 10 years of his life savings in a 'multi-billion dollar stock scheme known as the China Hustle.'

Caplan, who filed papers from Jerusalem, Israel, claims many Chinese nationals made fortunes from the ploy, which involved presenting fake company documents and claiming they were genuine investments when they were actual frauds.

Then they went on to use the ill-gotten gains to influence politics and even 'bribe' individuals, such as Biden, Caplan claims.

Caplan points to Donald Trump's claim in October that Biden received a $1.5 billion payday from a China-based private equity fund. Biden has denied the claim, saying that he has not taken money from China.

He said that he bought into a Chinese investment fund after his father left office for $420,000. The $1.5 billion was the amount the fund aimed to raise in China for investments.

Still, Caplan wants Biden's bank records in an apparently far-fetched attempt to trace back the billions of dollars that went missing in China, in his bid for 'justice' and to possibly regain his lost savings.

Biden, 49, was hit with the paternity case from Roberts, 28, (pictured) in May, as she seeks child support for their 16-month-old baby. The two met while Roberts was working as a stripper in Washington D.C.

Caplan filed his motion as an 'intervener' in the paternity case, seeking to become a party Monday.

Last week, private investigator Dominic Casey also filed a motion to become an intervener, and claimed on Friday that he had Biden's bank account records. A judge quickly shot down Casey's motion.

Under Arkansas law, anyone claiming an interest in a court case can intervene. The court then has to decide if the intervener's interest is valid.

Caplan claims in court papers that he's a shareholder in several companies that have disappeared in China.

He said he lost 10 years of his life savings in these companies, alleging the scheme resulted in an estimated $50 billion in losses in the United States.

He claims Chinese nationals who grew rich off the scheme then used the money to sway politics, alleging Biden was made part of the scheme when he allegedly received a hefty sum from BHR (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Company.

The Trump campaign has repeatedly claimed that Biden made millions of dollars from China while his father Joe Biden was vice president.

And in October, Trump doubled down and claimed Biden made $1.5 billion for BHR after he flew to China in December 2013 with Joe aboard Air Force Two, while Joe was in office.

It appears the $1.5 billion that Trump cited is based on a fundraising target BHR announced in 2014.

Caplan writes in court papers that it's 'astonishing and nauseating that somehow Biden was able to secure $1.5 billion from Chinese Nationals who claimed (one might say bragged) that they had ''trillions'' to invest...'

Hunter had acknowledged the past meeting, but insisted it was a social visit and that no business was discussed. Hunter's lawyer said in October that Hunter hasn't made money from the venture to date.

Caplan claims it's 'a question of law and fact... namely whether the disappearance of those companies and the vast sums of money they raised is related, correlated or has any nexus with the $1.5 billion that Biden received or allegedly received from high level Chinese government officials and/or wealthy Chinese National investors.

Caplan writes: 'Is the entire planet becoming corrupt as the Bible tells us in the days of Noah?' then goes on to quip scripture verses.

He adds: 'You honor, I am screaming and telling everyone that the Emperor has no Clothes!! Billions of dollars were lost in China where US Court judgement are not respected and there is no ''rule of law'' and then allegedly individuals like Biden can be bribed with that stolen money to buy US companies for the Chinese...'

On Friday, Dominic Casey filed papers to Independence County on Friday, claiming he had provided Lunden Roberts with 'electronic access' to Biden's bank account records, which are 'subject of known felonies including fraud and counterfeiting.'

Private eye Dominic Casey claimed he has Hunter Biden's bank records, according to docs filed in Independence County, Arkansas, Friday. Biden, 49, was seen shopping with his pregnant wife Melissa Cohen, 32, in Los Angeles on Thursday (pictured)

Casey heads up D&A Investigations, which is based near Orlando, Florida, and he is known for pursuing right-wing conspiracy theories. During the Casey Anthony trial he claimed a psychic told him where to find Caylee's body.

Now Casey has inserted himself into Biden's case, claiming last Monday that Biden was involved in a 'counterfeiting scheme' in Ukraine that accumulated a $150 million fortune. Judge Don McSpadden tossed out Casey's original motion six hours after it was filed.

But Biden seemed unbothered by the most recent claims against him, seen shopping with his pregnant wife Melissa Cohen, 32 on Thursday. Cohen was seen two days before the outing in exclusive DailyMail.com photos, grabbing mail from the couple's LA home while Biden waited inside his luxury sports car.

In Casey's Friday motion, he gives his consent for Roberts' legal team to use Biden's bank account records in their court case, claiming that he has them.

He also claims he provided the court with evidence of Biden's 'active concealment of bank account records' on December 23, referring to a United States Postal Service tracking code that would presumably trace the documents he sent.

However, the tracking code Casey provided does not exist.

Biden had been laying low until DailyMail.com exclusively tracked him down in Los Angeles and revealed his new South African wife Melissa Cohen is pregnant and in her second trimester

Casey ¿ who called himself an 'Intervener' in the case and is known for pursuing right-wing conspiracy theories ¿ claims Devon Archer was in on the scheme. Archer also has links with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which has been at the center of Biden's entanglement in President Trump's impeachment.

Casey claims Biden's records 'provide the source and destination bank account numbers of: Bursima Holdings Limited, PrivatBank, Bank of China' and Biden's business partners.'

They also allegedly 'verify the counterfeiting scheme accumulated $156,073,944.24 with an Average Account Value (monthly balance) of $6,785,823.66,' Casey wrote, without disclosing how he reached those figures.

Casey - who called himself an 'Intervener' in the case - claims John Kerry's stepson Christopher Heinz was in on the counterfeiting scheme, as well as Devon Archer.

Archer also has links with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which has been at the center of Biden's entanglement in President Trump's impeachment.

Casey told DailyMail.com last week that he could not comment on the case.

'Due to the nature of the three year, and ongoing investigation, privilege applies, sources and methods are protected,' he wrote in an email.

Casey's allegations surround a federal trial in New York last year in which Archer and two other men were found guilty of security fraud by issuing bonds for a Native American tribe. Archer's conviction was overturned on appeal.

Casey said during the five-and-a-half-week trial the defendants 'provided evidence showing…Hunter Biden's association and he did drum up business for the scheme.'

He claimed Biden, Heinz and Archer formed a company, Rosemont, Seneca, Bohai, to 'conceal their family members ownership.'

Meanwhile, Biden had been laying low until DailyMail.com exclusively tracked him down in Los Angeles and revealed his new South African wife Melissa Cohen is pregnant and in her second trimester.

The 32-year-old beauty was seen out and about shopping with Biden last Thursday, her baby bump on full display. This will be Biden's fifth child.

A close friend of Melissa's told DailyMailTV that while the couple is 'thrilled' at having a baby, there's also a lot of anxiety around the pregnancy

Biden seemed unperturbed by Roberts' scathing claims that he's a deadbeat father who couldn't pick out their child out of a line-up.

Roberts is seeking full custody of their child, whose gender is being kept secret, as well as child support and her $11k legal bill.

During the shopping trip, Biden seemed equally unbothered by Casey's claims that he's been involved in illegal businesses in the Ukraine - claims he denies.

Biden has tried to stay low amid growing criticism from Republicans including the president of his alleged Ukraine ties.

Biden's lawyer Brent Langdon called Casey's attempt to get involved 'a scheme by a non-party simply to make scandalous allegations in the pending suit to gain some quick media attention,' and asked for it to be stricken from the record. He asked Judge McSpadden to award Biden costs against Casey.
