COMMISSION NEWS
ARIZONA CORPORATION COMMISSION, 1200 W. WASHINGTON, PHOENIX, AZ 85007
TO: EDITORS, NEWS DIRECTORS DATE: October 10, 2001
FOR: IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Heather Murphy [phone]
FRAUD CHARGES LEVELED AGAINST FIVE VALLEY COMPANIES
& FIVE METRO AREA RESIDENTS
PHOENIX – The Securities Division of the Arizona Corporation Commission issued a temporary cease and
desist order against five Arizona companies and their directors for securities fraud and activities associated with
the offer and sale of unregistered securities in the form of promissory notes and corporate bonds. Cited were:
· Creative Financial Funding, L.L.C.,
· American Money Power, Inc., (AKA Money Power), and
· U.S. Federal Financial Corporation, all of Tempe;
· Corporate Fiducial Services, Inc. of Phoenix,
· Federal Capital, L.L.C. of Cave Creek and
· Paul J. Meka from Scottsdale; Larry Dunning, a Paradise Valley resident; Robert K. Rehm of Cave
Creek; and Tom Gaffney and Derreck Manteau, both residents of Tempe.
In its order, the Division alleges that ads placed in The Arizona Republic and Arizona Senior World
solicited investors to purchase promissory notes and corporate bonds to fund mortgages on Arizona property.
Meka, Dunning, Rehm, Gaffney and Manteau allegedly sought to raise one million dollars by offering similar
investment programs through at least three different companies. The individuals named are not registered to offer
or sell securities in this state, nor are the companies or investments registered as required by the Arizona
Securities Act.
The Securities Division further alleges that the individuals involved fraudulently misrepresented or failed to
disclose important information to investors. The cease and desist order charges that they falsely claimed that the
offerings were for accredited investors, when, on some occasions, the salespeople stated that they were willing to
accept funds from unaccredited investors. Conflicting written documentation regarding the role of the investor
and the security of the investments offered was also cited as reason for the charges.
The Securities Division is seeking a permanent cease and desist order against Creative Financial Funding,
Money Power, Federal Capital, Corporate Fiducial Services and U.S. Federal Financial Corporation. The
Division also seeks a permanent cease and desist order against Meka, Dunning, Rehm, Gaffney, and Manteau,
along with payment of administrative penalties and restitution to all identified investors. Each of the respondents
can request a hearing to contest the allegations. If they fail to request a hearing, the Securities Division may
pursue a default judgment against them.

Mortgage Lending Program
In a third case, the Commission ordered Tom Gaffney, Derreck Manteau, and U.S. Federal
Financial Corporation of Tempe to stop raising funds for a mortgage-lending scheme. In this case,
the Commission’s Securities Division learned about this scheme in early October of 2001 through
an advertisement in The Arizona Republic. The Division issued a temporary cease and desist
order within a week of discovering the investment scheme.
U.S. Financial Corporation was part of a scheme to raise $1 million to fund Creative
Financial Funding, L.L.C.’s mortgage lending program. The investments were offered through
public seminars, during which the audience was told that they could earn guaranteed returns of
between15% and 18% on real estate-backed investments. Gaffney, Manteau, and USFF falsely
claimed that the investments were exempt from securities regulation, and did not provide financial
disclosures as required by Arizona’s securities laws.
The Commission ordered USFF, Gaffney and Manteau to stop violating the Securities Act
and repay the one individual who had invested before the Commission’s prompt action halted the
investment scheme. The Commission also ordered the trio to pay an administrative penalty of
$2500.

In reply to: None Post # of 10

The following post might be considered slander if it weren't so well documented and
proven in court. This shouldn't be considered a violation of TOS since it involves
two of the principal players running this company. Do a little research before
getting too excited over Derreck Manteau joining Tom Gaffney on the board of
Silverhawk. If you'd like to know how Tom and Derreck went out of their way to
scam senior citizens in Phoenix just visit the links below or Google them yourself.
They knowingly marketed illegal investment "opportunities" in Senior World and the
Arizona Republic until they were caught (they guaranteed a 24% annual return). Watch
for a steady flow of press releases promoting exclusive partnerships that will amount
to zero revenue. Ask yourself why a boxing promotions company is selling cheap
electronics that have no chance of competeing with Apple's iPod and other real
products. I'm a former investor in WebPayPerView that bought into the lies and lost
everything invested. Unfortunately, it appears that I'm too late to save anyone with
this post as the stock looks played out already. Watch for a change in name, ticker
symbols, or else they become acquired just to do it all over again. It's the only trick
they know.
