Totally agree. The constant blather about Bubba and his plans for John Simmonds' rear end is annoying and unhelpful. Whoever that is has some serious anger toward the ACSimmonds players that's for sure.
The prison system in Canada is pretty lenient I hear and even as compared to the US, the Hollywood portrayal of the bum r@ping is not at all what happens there.
The man is ruined. He will never again amount to anything, and his legacy which included a few good things (club link, Midland radio) will now forever be that he was the crook in an otherwise very impressive family of entrepreneurs.
His lying, cheating, thieving, misrepresenting, defrauding, deceiving, embezzling, forging, distorting, extorting, and conspiring days are over, at least for the next 8 years!

Another delay in the sentencing of mr horseshoes. I guess it's appropriate since he spent so much time around the dum animals.

This guy has horseshoes right up his A$$.

On December 21 the judge said:
“With or without a lawyer. This will not be adjourned again,” Justice O’Connell said. “I will not, unless a meteor crashes through the roof of the courthouse, entertain an adjournment.”
That was TWO adjournments ago (-:
It looks like he's finally getting his desserts.
The article did not mention a new date for the sentence.
I wonder what his brother Bruce (who was really the brains behind club link) thinks of all this.
Or his cousins who are all good, honest, god-fearing business owners.
More news re the Simmonds matter involving the girlfriend. I'm not sure if the Goudas matter will proceed and he could get more time but it looks pretty sure that this man is going to prison for several years. At his age, he could die in there.

That’s 5 years old.
Does anyone know why the wheels of justice move so slow?
Is it normal to take so long to resolve criminal cases like this?
Does anyone know of any update on this case? Wheels of justice move slow!
Well Sir (or Madam, we don't know your name), all I can say is you appear to be intellectually wanting. Otherwise why go straight to the ad-hominem (calling me an a$$hole). This is absolutely the lowest form of argument.
FTR:
All I was doing was pointing out that your rants achieve nothing other than to satisfy (in the moment) your need to get your anger out. Do you really think JS reads this board???
Everyone who is anti Simmonds (me included) are all out a pile of dough (otherwise why would one read this board). I have kissed that $ goodbye. Now, like you I wait for justice.
I just wish you'd do it more quietly.

Yes that's right. I'm in love with John Simmonds. That's why i pointed out the idiocy behind your incessant drivel.
Your posts don't help anything and all they do is clutter up this board [where information is supposed to be shared] with your stupid references to Bubba etc. You have no idea what white collar jail is like and I'm fairly certain that even if Mr. Simmonds does time, his butthole won't be affected (unless the toilet paper is of low quality).

I sent an email to the police force (York City Police Force??) that arrested him and they said I had to contact the court, but I have no idea how to do that with Canadian courts. I did a bit of googling but came up short.
I'm starting to think that Canadian justice is purposely slowwwwwwwwwwww

Is this the Jason Williams we're talking about?

I'm sure that everyone on this posting board has been screwed by the Simmonds group of shysters and phonies, but I can also be quite sure in saying that you (DMAX2013) add absolutely nothing to the conversation. You really need to move on. You're never getting your money back. The sooner you let go both you and the rest of this board can have some peace.

Is this John G Simmonds' next victim?

How is that possible?
This board has gone totally quiet and I guess our investment in this stock is now and forever worthless. Mr. Simmonds will be getting away with it I guess. I've heard nothing of any investigations of any kind. Does anyone have anything to report?
I don't think there is much more anyone can do.
We could have gotten 10 c a year ago.
It's not even all there....
How can anyone be a supporter at this point? This stock is not just halted but rather de-registered meaning that holders of 10's of millions of shares are now left with nothing.
One has to question whether management is just trying to mitigate any potential law suits. I can't see how any independent shareholder can remain a supporter of either this company or anyone in its management.
That's what I kept trying to stay but a certain poster kept assuring us that it couldn't be him cuz he (simmonds) "has" to file. Really? He HAS to does he??!!
Who else has those kind of shares to sell. Man were we duped!
This makes me sick to my stomach. And to think that the Simmonds group was selling all spring right under our noses while we were being assured by a poster whose name I shall not use that "there's no way JS is selling".
How naive are we?
I bought it 7 or 8 years ago in the 75 cent range and no I never bought any more after the initial purchase. It might have been 72 cents if memory is correct.
This is a posting to the Receivership documents related to our former chain of WIreless phone stores.
http://www.mnpdebt.ca/en/corporate/corporate-engagements/wireless-age-communications-ltd-and-wireless-source-distribution-ltd
This business was what we bought into or at least what I bought into and in the end it seems that $11 Million of our subsidiaries' money was funnelled thru WLSA and then out to Newlook. I think that all shareholders should look over these documents as they are very insightful as to where the value in WLSA went.
If you Google "John Simmonds Wireless Age" you get a link at the bottom of Page 1 to this site. If you google "John Simmonds WLSA" you get linkes to this site as result 2 and 3 (and more of course). I'm assuming once someone finds this forum they are informed.
Further, if you poke around you see references to the following companies:
Newlook
Gate to Wire
WLSA
Further investigation will lead one to find two unregistered (or halted) companies, and one that has gone nowhere forever.
We may be done here but so is he. When I bought this pos several years ago it was on the strength of his reputation.
That is now in tatters. You can take some comfort knowing that google has his recent "accomplishments" well documented. He has no successes to point at that aren't very old. No one with much brains will buy into the story I ate up.
He's done.
I wish I could look him in the eye and tell him.
Does anyone from Canada know if the rumor of closed offices is true?
And where is Brad Herrin? We haven't heard his take on this.
I see no point in calling him and in case I ever have to testify at a trial I don't want to give him anything to use against me.
Has anyone else here written the SEC??
By the way are you all thinking that D the G is John smonds or someone doing his dirty work?
Also did anyone ever confirm the closure of the offices??
I truly think he's a textbook psychopath. You won't ever hear from him again. Why would you??
Everyone here should check out John Simmonds' other companies - most notably Newlook and WLSA - before making any decisions regarding this stock.
If you want a more detailed description of how this group does business please email me at wberksall@live.com and I will gladly share my experience.
The SEC wrote back saying that they appreciate my information, and "we take these matters seriously", but can't and won't disclose if they are actively investigating someone (that's not a surprise, really). No word from the Canadian Securities Commission.
I'm getting very disheartened that nothing will come of this. He's not high profile, and it's small potatoes compared to the kinds of files they must have.
Let's be real. No one will ever do a serious deal with this man again.
The thread of garbage on the internet about him is so easily found now. His jilted girlfriend. We shafted stockholders. FanoGabe, etc.
Too bad most of us weren't able to do that a long time ago when we got in. Most of us wouldn't have.
So obviously my post stuck a nerve.
I'm dedicating my spare time to making sure he goes to jail where he belongs with made-off and skilling
I wrote a long letter to the SEC, and copied all the politicians in my state that I thought would care. And some that probably don't! The SEC wrote me back saying that they could not disclose whether they were investigating, or the state of any potential investigation for obvious reasons, but they did say they take these matters very seriously.
Like the Arab Spring http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed_Bouazizi, it only takes one person to start it and if everyone on this board writes the SEC (copy your senators, congressmen, state senators, the President http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact) they are bound to take notice and go beyond a halting of trading. It's time that this man realized he doesn't get to screw with our money and get away without being held to account.
Also here is an address to at least one of the regulators that might care too as Newlook is a Canadian, not an American company. http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/en/Investors_questions-complaints_index.htm
I just wrote them a letter. We will see if they care????? This is the Ontario regulator which I THINK is the right one.
word has it that he doesn't have an office. Has anyone from Ontario gone by to verify that statement? Even though I don't like the man, I'm not sure where he would get the money to pay himself a salary. That's my worry. Why would he stay and work for us?
At hadge party yes I do.
That is as good a theory as ever.
I have realized that this man has no concept of fiduciary duty or working for the shareholder. If there was a real independent board (not him and his puppet Carrie), then he would get fired. What proper board would ever put up with this?
He's a joke. But what he's done to all of us is not funny!
Since John Simmonds came back we have had 3 or 4 auditors and 3 or 4 CFO's and none of that makes people wonder why no filings?
My suspicion is none of them were willing to lose their license by signing off (sar box, remember!) on the financial reports.
Also who other than Simmonds had the kind of shares that were selling a month or two ago?
Can we get back Hokkanen and Los brothers Poulis??? They might not have had his polish and suave but they did file regularly. Just kidding of course but it is a bit ironic that we wanted these guys out and since then the stock went down 90% more and now doesn't even trade!
