Treaty's president Bruce Gwyn arrested for 2nd time on new charges...

Louisiana Man Arrested for Second Time for Alleged Violations of Alabama Securities Act


MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA (April 12, 2016) Hallie S. Dixon, District Attorney for the 28th Judicial Circuit, Baldwin County, Alabama; and Joseph Borg, Director of the Alabama Securities Commission (ASC) announced that Bruce Alexander Gwyn of Metairie, Louisiana was arrested by the Baldwin County, Alabama Sheriff’s office following an indictment by a February, 2016 session of the Baldwin County Grand Jury in connection with alleged violations of the Alabama Securities Act. Gwyn turned himself in to Baldwin County Sheriff’s office on April 5, 2016 and was released on a $15,000 bond.

Gwyn was charged with two counts of Fraud in Connection with the sale of Securities; specifically, making untrue statements of material facts or omitting to state a material fact; and employing a device, scheme or artifice to defraud. The fraud charges are Class B felonies, carrying a possible sentence ranging from two to 20 years’ incarceration and not more than a $30,000 fine per charge, upon conviction. Additionally, the indictment charged Gwyn with two counts of Sale of Securities by an Unregistered Agent. The securities registration charges are Class C felonies, punishable from one year and a day to 10 years’ imprisonment and not more than a $15,000 fine per charge, upon conviction. The indictment alleges that Gwyn offered and sold securities, described as limited partnership interests in Level III Trading Partners, L.P., as well as shares of stock in Treaty Energy Corporation (“TECO”) to Alabama investors. Gwyn allegedly pooled investor funds in an account held or controlled by him and failed to use investor funds as represented, instead using funds to pay other investors, make unauthorized investments, or for unrelated expenses or liabilities. The new charges against Gwyn are in addition to those that resulted in his prior arrest in Baldwin County in September, 2015, which resulted from the August, 2015 session of the Baldwin County Grand Jury. The earlier indictment charged Gwyn with five alleged securities violations related to Level III Trading Partners, L.P. Gwyn turned himself in to Baldwin County Officials on September 18, 2015, was released on a $20,000 bond and was required to surrender his passport. The ASC cautions potential investors to thoroughly scrutinize and research any investment opportunity or offer.

Bruce Gwyn's Level III civil suit... Treaty promoters pumped the shit out of Level III "investing" in Treaty... The suit makes clear why.

Reid, Gwyn and Treaty Energy (Ronald Blackburn) partners in crime...

28. More specifically, in 2010, Gwyn caused Level III to: purchase a 24% membership interest in GAGA, LLC (a closely held company owned by Gwyn and one other individual and controlled by Gwyn), purchase a 23.08% interest in Doctor Henry, LLC (another closely-held company in which Gwyn had an interest), make multiple loans to Rare Cuts, LLC (an Andrew Reid-controlled company), make multiple loans to Rampant Leon Financial Corporation (also a Reid-controlled entity), purchase 1,400,000 shares in Treaty, and purchase 17,560 shares in Orpheum. By the end of 2010, Gwyn had caused Level III to stop nearly all futures trading.

29. In 2011, Gwyn continued to siphon funds from Level III to the same entities, ultimately divesting the fund of all holdings and positions in futures commodities. In 2011, Gwyn also caused Level III to purchase interests in Lodwick I, LLC, another company affiliated with Gwyn’s fraudulent scheme.

30. On information and belief, the transfers of the fund’s assets as described herein were disguised insider purchases of shares in Orpheum and Treaty. The various “investments” in private companies as described herein were merely false fronts, used to obscure the ultimate transfer of the fund’s assets by Gwyn into shares of Treaty and Orpheum, in order to artificially inflate the share prices of Treaty and Orpheum.
