CRWV - abuse of law article

I think that is a significant connection they made to Ronald Lindsay, Steven Peacock, Shane Traveller, and that groups history of pump&dumps, and dirty debt dealings.

jbsliverer first made a post about the OWVI connection with Ronald Lindsay

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=66643912

Which I dug deeper into:

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=66646740

But I didn't dig deep enough into Ronald Lindsay's past to see just how dirty he might be. To me the warning signs were already there once I finished researching OWVI to make me believe that Lindsay was probably the key player in the CRWV pump&dump and that the whole thing was probably centered around the recently issued 200,000,000 free trading shares and undisclosed debt agreement which could turn $24,771 into 24,771,000 shares.

Plenty of reason to run a pump in dump when there are potentially 224,771,000 shares that could have cost somebody as little as $24,771 ready to hit the market being dumped on the suckers that fall for the newsletters, email blasts, paid promos, and fraudulent press releases.

The information the abuse of law people dug up about Lindsay and his connections to Steven Peacock, Shane Traveller, and all those previous pump&dumps and dirty debt arrangements only adds fuel to the fire that CRWV is a pump&dump with Ron Lindsay acting as one of the main people behind it.

Abuse of law did an impressive job of shining light on Ron Lindsay's past including his dirty associations and really helped to show what might have been the true motivation behind the creation of CRWV and the pump&dump run on that stock recently, but that is where the abuse of law article stopped being a good piece of investigative journalism.

I disagree with much of what abuse of law says in the following section of their article:

is Ronald Lindsay still involved with the company? According to the Secretary of State of Nevada, Ronald Lindsay was involved with the Company but has recently been removed as Secretary and Treasurer and his record displays “Historical” only.

The question is, have CEO, XIAO YU HOU and Dane Peterson pulled off a major positive coup and taken control of Crowne Ventures, Inc. before these predators take down another potential winner and golden investor opportunity? We surely hope so as we have heard nothing but good reviews on XIAO YU HOU and Dane Peterson. They seem to be the real deal that can turn, what has been until now fool's gold into a golden enterprise.

I very very much doubt that Ronald Lindsay is out of the picture now just because his name was removed from the Nevada SOS and Dane Peterson's name was added.

I noticed the change in the SOS and posted about it several days ago:

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=66774791

I think it is way too big of an assumption to think that Lindsay already dumped any shares and any interest he has in the CRWV pump&dump and just walked away a rich man with no further connection to the shell. I think it is more likely that he is still involved to some degree in the background with either more shares to dump or the potential to some how get more shares in the future.

I'm also very disappointed that abuse of law just ignores the fact that the press releases put out by CRWV are littered with completely false and ridiculous statements about the mining properties and mining operations. Dane Peterson was already involved with CRWV before those press releases were issued and so was Xiao Yu Hou. That makes both Dane Peterson and Xiao Yu Hou far from "the real deal" and far from "good". And if abuse of law did even the minimum amount of research on the actual properties or what it takes to turn even a mineral rich property into a productive profitable gold mine, he wouldn't have made the last statement referring to CRWV as a "golden enterprise".

Abuse of law seems to totally miss the previous connection between Ronald Lindsay and Dane Peterson with OWVI:

http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/one-world-ventures-inc-ceo-stephen-prior-resigns-1380023.htm

The Company also has entered into an agreement to acquire certain Gold and Silver mining asset rights in Mexico. Not only does the Company believe these assets will produce amazing returns, the price of Gold and Silver has substantially increased over the past year and experts are predicting this trend to continue as the major currency valuations are questioned. The Company welcomes Dane Peterson to its executive team. Dane has substantial experience mining in the contracted for areas and will be the key leader of our mining interests immediately. Expect more detail of the valuations of this OWVI addition in future announcements.

That was the last time that Peterson and his mining properties were ever mentioned by OWVI. It seems Lindsay decided he couldn't suck any more money out of the OWVI investors so he got involved with CRWV and decided to use Peterson and his mining properties to run a pump and dump with CRWV instead.


-------------------------------


Ignoring the obvious hatred towards George Sharp that many times turned the abuse of law CRWV article into more of a petty immature completely unprofessional name calling spat against George Sharp instead of an informative piece of investigative journalism, abuse of law really missed the boat when it came to giving any kind of respectable critique about CRWV's business operations. Abuse of law didn't appear to do even the tiniest bit of research about the mining claims and disregarded and chance of future dilution by the company completely. Abuse of law just assumes that everything illegal that CRWV has already done can just be swept under the rug and that money raised from the dumping so far is going to be used to pay for more promotions and that there will be enough buying support to be able to make the stock run again. When I finished reading the article I was left with a bad taste in my mouth that the article wasn't investigative journalism at all, but rather a promotional piece for CRWV.

Is abuse of law's hatred of George Sharp so strong that they would disregard good investigative journalism completely and show support for a scam company just because pumpsanddumps ripped them apart in their article?

I think abuse of law should stick to writing about individuals and law related topics and avoid doing any more pieces focused on publicly trading companies.


-----------------


Here is the part of the article I find interesting and informative:

In going through the financial relationships of Mr. Lindsay, one name kept appearing that frankly sent chills. Mr. Steven R. Peacock, founder of Javelin Advisory Group, who is the architect of some of the largest pump and dumps schemes to have hit the market today. It looks like Mr. Lindsay is nothing more than a patsy or straw man for Mr. Peacock’s devious dealings. These men have broken every SEC law imaginable and taken investors for hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more.

To further investigate, here are some of the Pump and Dumps that Peacock and Lindsay have been Involved in:

· Broadleaf Capital Partners Inc.
· Aero Performance Products, Inc. (AERP)
· DigitalTown, Inc.
· US Farms, Inc.
· Nicholas Investment Company, Inc.
· CLX Investment Co. (CLXN)
· CLX Medical, Inc.
· Franchise Capital Corp. (FCCN), Prior to Reverse Merger with TTR HP, Inc.
· Entertainment Capital Corp.
· Actionview International Inc.,(AVWI) Prior to Reverse Merger with MatchFights, LLC
· YaSheng Group
· GTREX Capital Inc. (GRXI)
· Global Travel Exchange, Inc.
· Green Globe International, Inc. (GGLB) (nka GGII)
· HAZ Holdings (HAZH)
· S3 Investment Co.

Investors of all shapes and sizes blindly believed the Peacock, Lindsay and Javelin stories and invested millions into their pump and dump schemes. In the mid 2000’s, these corrupt investment bankers got caught up in the Form 1-E Investment Company Act of 1940, “Free Trading” BDC disaster, and they quickly began looking for another loophole in the law to put free trading stock into the market without regulatory scrutiny. Apparently they found one, in Section 3(a)10 of the securities law.

Utilizing this loophole, Javelin Advisory Group companies have been issuing unregistered shares in friendly lawsuit type settlements in the State of Florida, 12th circuit courtroom in sunny Sarasota.

Starting in the fourth quarter of 2006, all of the Javelin Advisory affiliated companies have had claims filed against them for defaulted debt. These debts were settled with free trading stock at around 1/5 the share price on the defaulted debt. So who was the plaintiff that was owed all of this money? In all cases it was Sequoia International and Unico, both Javelin affiliated companies domiciled in Turks and Caicos. In a true case of penny stock genius, nobody seemed to have the foresight to realize that it might look slightly strange if all the companies Javelin was involved with were getting sued by the same entity.

The tip off was made by a disgruntled investor who posted on a stock message board which in turn exposed Shane Traveller and Ronald Lindsay signing as representatives of the Sequoia and Unico entities. These same signatures also appeared on Javelin managed company’s FCCN, GRXI, CLXN and S3 Investments and , this time as the CEO of Sequoia International and Interim President of Unico.



I had never heard of Steven Peacock before reading this article and had never researched any of the companies that abuse of law correctly linked to Steven Peacock.

I took the time to do some quick research to verify the information published by abuse of law regarding Peacock, Sequoia, and Javelin, and it seems that abuse of law might be correct about the dirty debt arrangements.

In all of the companies listed, either Peacock or Lindsay or both held positions as officers in the companies. Peacock would then loan money to the publicly traded entities that they controlled using Sequoia and Unico (Turk and Caicos entities) - to some extent Lindsay and Traveller seemed to also be involved in the dirty debt arrangements. They would let the loans go into default then file a lawsuit against themselves allowing them to receive super discounted free trading shares in order to settle the debts. Shane Traveller was connected to some of the promotions done for the stocks including through promotional websites that he would set up. The Traveller promotions would coincide with fraudulent press releases being put out by the companies and all the while that the pump was going on free trading shares that were issued from the dirty debt settlements were being dumped.


-------------


The Green Globe International Inc filings clearly show that while Peacock and Lindsay were officers of that company the dirty debt arrangement was taking place:

On March 2, 2007, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with Sequoia International, Inc., which had purchased the note payable from Elleipsis, Inc. on March 1, 2007. Under the terms of the Elleipsis note payable, the Company was required to pay remaining principal of $190,000 plus accrued interest on March 1, 2007 to satisfy the note. The Company defaulted on this payment and Sequoia filed an action against the Company in the 12th Judicial Circuit Court. The settlement agreement provided for the Company to issue a total of 9,340,000 (post reverse split) shares of common stock for full satisfaction and release of the obligation. The Company and Sequoia agreed that the shares would be issued into an escrow account to prevent their immediate resale into the market. Under the terms of the escrow, Sequoia may not obtain any shares from escrow is the release of such escrow shares would result in Sequoia becoming the beneficial owner of more than 9.9% of the Company’s common stock. Further, all shares in escrow are voted by the Company’s chairman of the Board of Directors.

Not sure who the "disgruntled investor" posting on a "stock message board" is that abuse of law was referring to that helped expose the whole Peacock, Lindsay, Traveller scheme, but the following link provides lots of interesting information regarding Peacock and Javelin:

http://investorscob.com/earsforum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=811.0

The "stock message board" has lots and lots of press releases posted, but every now and then you get a post sharing bits and pieces about Peacock and Traveller and the companies they controlled and the schemes they were running.


----------------------------------------


A lawsuit was filed against one of the companies that Peacock and Traveller were involved with, UNICO INCORPORATED (AZ) (UNCO)

http://www2.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/08-15-2008/0004868303&EDATE=

Krause Kalfayan Benink & Slavens, LLP Announces Filing of Derivative Lawsuit Against Unico, Inc. (OTCBB: UNCO) Officers and Directors

The lawsuit alleges that under the leadership of Unico's Chairman of the Board Ray Brown, CEO Mark Lopez, and CFO Ken Wiedrich, Unico issued 72 convertible debentures to third parties ('creditors'), primarily located offshore in the Turks and Caicos, during the past four years. Although the debentures were convertible to common shares at a share price of 50% of the prior day's closing price, Unico entered into settlement agreements with the creditors which required it to issue shares at conversion prices of 8% to 20% instead.

According to the lawsuit, the settlements were not products of arms-length negotiations. Instead, defendants colluded with the creditors utilizing court-approved settlements as cover to issue hundreds of millions of freely-trading and cheaply-obtained shares to the creditors under a securities registration exemption, Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933. Section 3(a)(10) provides that securities issued in exchange for bona fide claims where the terms are approved by a Court, need not be registered for offer or sale with the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC'.)

The lawsuit points out that all of the settlements were approved by a state court in Sarasota, Florida, a jurisdiction with no connection to any of the parties and without notice to Unico's shareholders. The attorney representing Unico in the Sarasota actions and the attorney for the third-party creditors share the same office space in Sarasota.

Also named in the lawsuit was Shane Traveller, who is Ken Wiedrich's son-in-law and Traveller's company, Javelin Advisory Group, Inc., a consultant to Unico. Traveller was recently named as a defendant in an SEC civil action and has been a principal of other publicly-traded small-cap companies.

The suit seeks not less than $20 million.


A settlement ended up being reached:

http://unicomining.com/upload/exhibita1.doc

The parties have tentatively reached a settlement, subject to court approval, pursuant to which Unico’s insurance company will pay $850,000 (the “Settlement Award”) to Unico on behalf of two Unico officers and one Unico director, and Unico will agree to certain restrictions and limitations affecting Unico’s governance procedures, its ability to enter into financing transactions with certain persons, and restricting Unico from issuing its stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with settling debt arising from Unico financing activities. Plaintiffs’ attorney’s fees and expenses will be paid, and an incentive award will be paid, from the Settlement Award



------------------------------


A class action lawsuit was also filed by investors against Hydroflo Inc (now known as Solarbrook Water & Power Corp (SLWR)):

Again because of dirty debt arrangements that were done exactly like mentioned in the abuse of law blog:

Tamara Traveller serves as the secretary and treasurer of Actionview International Inc (AVEW)

--------------------


Looks like Steven Peacock has been at it for well over 12 years now going all the way back to Peacock Financial Corporation, (OTCBB:PFCK) in 2000.


I'll definitely remember his name from now on. It seems every company he gets involved with ends up the same way - ruined by dirty debt arrangements, pumped, dumped, and reverse split to death.


Shane Traveller is definitely a red flag for any company he ever gets involved with.

Shane Traveller already shows up by name in lots of lawsuits include SEC litigation:

http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2008/lr20525.htm

http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2008/comp20525.pdf

Which lead to this settlement agreement with the SEC:

http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2008/34-58438.pdf

With the SEC litigation came the resignation of Shane Traveller from Aero Performance Products, Inc. (AERP)

-------------------------------


Ronald Lindsay doesn't seem to show up too often in connection with the Peacock companies outside of the Green Globe International, Inc shell.

Abuse of law seems to make a big jump by automatically linking Lindsay to all of Peacock's scammy companies and crooked dealings.

Peacock actually replaced Lindsay as the president of Green Globe International, Inc, but by that point all the debt arrangements with Sequoia International, Ltd. were already made.

Lindsay can also be linked to Peacock with GTREX Capital Inc. (GRXI) and Global Travel Exchange. While Lindsay was the president/CEO of CRXI in April of 2007, Peacock was hired as a consultant CEO for the company. Peacock became the regular CEO/president of CRXI later that same year. Even before that when Lindsay first became the CEO of GRXI, Peacock was involved in the public relations for the company.

It is obvious that the two have a very strong history together and at the very least Peacock influenced Lindsay. The way that Lindsay ran One World Ventures, Inc (OWVI) is very similar to how all of the companies Peacock was involved with were run. OWVI was killed by debt arrangements.



--------------------------------


Ken Wiedrich (who is Shane Traveller's father-in-law) is also a former officer of Green Globe International, Inc., Unico Incorporated, and Entertainment Capital Corp.


--------------------------------


Interesting too that Gemini Financial Communications, Inc, Andrew Beyer, was the IR for every single Steven Peacock connected company.

It is easy to see why since they are Affiliated with Javelin Advisory Group:

Quite the arrangement Steven Peacock has with his companies. He controls the executive offices, the debt arrangements, and the public relations.
