Here is Jeffrey Turino's side of the story, I copied this from here (http://camrhon.proboards.com/thread/5576) and only assume it is accurate.

Makes for a good read. Fiction is sometimes unbelievable....and sometimes the "facts" are even more so.

DECLARATION OF JEFFEREY GEORGE TURINO

I, Jeffrey George Turino aver as follows, both in written documentation and a recorded video, on personal knowledge:

1. I am an adult individual currently residing in Bosnia. I am a businessman currently working in the restaurant night club/resort sector.
2. I have personal knowledge of certain events as they pertain to Nikolaj Vissokovsky, World Wide Cannery and Distribution and Global Diamond Exchange, Bruce Harlan, Keith Hauser and Biotech Medics.
3. I have read Bruce Harlan’s declaration dated November 24, 2008. Mr. Harlan was my attorney for several years prior.
4. I initially met Mr. Vissokovsky in September 2003 at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino during the gaming show. This was the first time I had ever met Mr. Vissokovsky. The 15 minute meeting was arranged at Mr. Harlan’s request on his behalf in reference to monies that were owed to Mr. Vissokovsky from Mr. Harlan’s Trust account.
5. I met Mr. Vissokovsky in Florida In September 2004 for the second time to attend a meeting in Delray Beach that Mr. Harlan could not attend. The purpose of the meeting was to try to resolve the monies due Mr. Vissokovsky & his associate Mr. Lallayan to sell King Crab in the United States. The client “Paqman” which Mr. Harlan supplied and guaranteed bounced checks totaling over $100,000 did not pay on the remaining $300,000 balance owed to Lallayan and Vissokovsky. Consequently I was asked to attend the meeting to work out an amicable plan since Mr. Harlan was responsible for these monies.
6. Mr. Harlan’s claim in his Declaration Dated November 24, 2008 item 15 “I introduced Vissokovsky to Turino in 2003, and they began doing business in the areas of corporate transactions and financing” is false and misleading. I had only met Mr. Vissokosvky one time in 2003 and at no time did I do ”corporate stock transactions and financing” with Mr. Vissokovsky. This is true to date.
7. The next time I met Mr. Vissokovsky was in spring 2005 for Dinner at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The purpose of the meeting was to introduce
Mr. John Edwards to Mr. Vissokovsky. Mr. Edwards was interested in pursuing casino projects in Las Vegas as well as the casino business overseas.
8. Mr. Harlan was getting calls 2 to 4 times a week from Mr. Vissokovsky regarding the approximately $380,000 still owed by the seafood distributor out of Delray Beach. There was no possible way for Harlan to repay the monies. Harlan needs a vehicle to repay the $380,000 to Vissokovsky. Harlan knew Lallayan has a seafood factory in Prague that has assets, cash flow, some debt and bad management. Edwards has multiple shell companies looking for real business. Edwards proposes a sale/merger in order to raise capital pay off debt and Harlan would manage the factory to assure the repayment of the $380,000 to Vissokovsky. Harlan arranges a meeting with Lallayan and Vissokovsky in Moscow. Harlan had met Lallayan previously in Florida in the beginning of the King Crab importing business which was a private company with no public involvement so he had the basis of a relationship. Harlan wants to move to Europe and run the factory. He packs up his stuff in Las Vegas, put it in storage, and leaves for Europe.
9. I am in London with my girlfriend for her birthday in October 2005. Harlan and his girlfriend come to London and we proceed to Moscow. The meeting takes place outside Moscow in a coffee shop in some sort of sports complex. Attending the meet were Myself, Harlan, Vissokovsky, and Lallayan. This is the first time I had met Lallayan.
10. Harlan explains the public transaction to Lallayan. Harlan will move to Prague and run the factory to assure its success. I would follow in the spring as I was in the process of moving from the States to Europe for a fresh start. Lallayan explains the business operation, the past revenues, disclosed the current debt on a spread sheet, the long term debt and the cash that would be needed to bring the factory current. The short term was approximately $500,000 USD for the bank salaries, vendor monthly payments and interest payments until the end of the year. Lallayan commits’ to wire in the back salaries to make things current once Harlan gets there. There was also 900,000 Euros worth on inventory in the warehouse consisting of king Crab and caviar. The plan was to merge the factory that Lallayan owned, retain 74% interest, raise capital in the market, pay off the short term debt and have the new company assume the long term debt. The Seafood factory was operational gearing up for the new season and had all licenses. Edwards identified an available shell with former real estate tycoon Tommy Vu called VWay that was available. Lallayan and Vissokovsky were under the impression this was a listed or NYSE stock. They had no clue about stock, OTC, or Pinks.
11. Lallayan agreed to the plan with the caveat that Vissokovsky return to Las Vegas to meet Edwards and Vu to make sure they confirm the deal as Lallayan did not have a valid US visa.
12. I accompany Vissokovsky to Las Vegas in November 2005. Harlan stays in Moscow and awaits the results of the meeting. Vissokovsky and I meet Edwards, Tommy Vu, and Gordon Forgey at the Bellagio to go over the deal. Everything was as Harlan presented it, Edwards agrees and the documents were sent to Karen’s Attorney in the UK for signature. (Edwards philosophy was he could always sell paper to raise money if it took longer).
13. In December of 2005 Harlan arrives in Prague, he is provided the Seafood Factory corporate apartment, a corporate car, and a driver (manager Nikolay Nekrasov’s son) and is supposed to:
a. Get the back stuff caught up with the monies Lallayan had wired in, salaries, payments and interest.
b. Meet with the bank, sign to take over the debt
c. Do a complete inventory.
d. Start to sell the 900,000 Euro of Crab and Caviar to cover the January interest payment, the current portion of the short term debt and bring everything current for the next season.
14. What Harlan did:
a. Got the old salaries + interest wired in from Lallayan
b. Did the inventory and confirmed over 960,000 Euro of product
c. Did not sign the debt assignment paperwork
d. Met with the bank-Once! Harlan Missed 2 scheduled December Meetings with the Bank
e. Lets 900,000 Euro of crab and Caviar out the back door under his supervision along with major pieces of equipment.
15. In January Harlan and his girlfriend goes with me to Italy to hang out and tells me everything is fine.
16. The bank panics calls in a trustee to protect their assets since Harlan missed 2 scheduled December meetings with the Bank and did not sign the debt assignment paperwork. Worldwide missed the January 1 interest payment and Harlan also did not pay the December payment that Lallayan sent him to make things current.
17. I and Harlan meet with the “bank trustee” in January 2006 find out we have until June to get it cleared up. I ask Harlan to stall the bank until we can figure out what went wrong with the plan and inform Edwards. Payments start being paid to Linstragate as per the Funding contracts between Worldwide Cannery & Distribution, Mountain Passages and Austin Funding. Vissokovsky was not a party to these Funding contracts and had no knowledge the monies were being paid from stock sales.
18. In February 2006 I find out Harlan lets 900,000 Euro of crab and caviar out the back door along with all the computers and some equipment. He also missed newly scheduled multiple bank meetings and he is beginning to panic. Harlan Runs back to the States without telling anyone via London. I find out later Harlan’s current girlfriend was freaking out in Prague because Harlan met his ex girlfriend’s aunt who lives in Prague. The ex girlfriend was a crystal meth addict and thought Harlan was extremely wealthy (with multiple medical problems including ring worm which Harlan got a bad case of from the niece). She sets up a meeting/date with the aunt. Since the aunt thinks Harlan is a real estate mogul and she asks him to buy a building in Prague. Melody the new girlfriend wants out of Prague. Due to this and the missing 900K Euro in Crab & caviar Harlan in the middle of the night leaves Prague without any prior notification.
19. In February 2006 Linstragate the initial primary lender for the Seafood Factory finds out from the bank that things are going to hell. Linstragate issue a power of attorney to Vissokovsky and appoints him as paymaster to collect the funds since Harlan, Vissokovsky’s long time attorney screwed up the factory even worse.
20. In the beginning of March 2006 I return to Prague to meet with the Bank and I’m informed according to Czech law Worldwide needs 76% or an additional 2% ownership to discuss a settlement. Vissokovsky attends the meeting to try to get a handle on the company status for Linstragate as the Power of Attorney.
21. In Late March 2006 I return to Prague to meet with the minority owners of the Seafood Factory. Worldwide acquires the last 26% of the seafood factory. There are approximately 17 boxes of corporate records, sales and tax records, licenses, and building and machinery specifications that are turned over along with the remainder of the Seafood Factory stock certificates. I have as much material copied and sent to Edwards in Las Vegas. The contention from the government that the seafood factory never did any amount of business is false as proven by the tax and financial records filed with the Czech government.
22. After the acquisition of the 26% I go to the bank now with 100% of the Seafood Factory corporate stock. The banker informs me that Harlan missed several scheduled meetings. This problem could have been avoided if Harlan had made the meetings. This was confirmed by the trusts from the earlier complaints about Harlan
23. In April 2006 a reporter did a story on the Seafood Factory and after contacting him I find out he wants to purchase the property, plant and equipment for his father who is in the food processing business. This is one of several offers I pass on to Edwards. Worldwide is looking for suitors to buy the plant and the equipment Edwards has several offers.
24. In May Vissokovsky and I go back to Prague. He hires some large law firm ( Baker & McKenzie) to represent Linstragate with the bank and stopping the asset sale. Edwards wants Linstragate to back off for a payment plan. Prague is used as a container transfer point at this time and the factory is non operational at this point.
25. I meet Harlan and Vissokovsky at Starbucks in Clearwater Florida in May 2006. This is the last time I have seen Harlan. Harlan is ranting he wants Edwards to purchase a house for him valued at $500,000 and $1,000,000 toward his retirement or he will create problems for Edwards. Edwards does not take kindly to extortion and on a phone call with Harlan says no way he is paying Harlan. Harlan was paid and has earned substantial money along the way. Vissokovsky wanted to know what happened to the 900,000 Euros of crab plus some additional funds Harlan owed Vissokovsky out of Harlan’s trust account for a lot in Thurston Grove. Harlan did not have an answer other than the crab and caviar were sent out. Harlan was scared and visibly nervous at this meeting. After Harlan left I find out Vissokovsky is under the impression Harlan is giving him a lot in Thurston Grove and 60% of the construction cost to offset monies owed from Harlan’s trust account. This lot Harlan was promising Vissokovsky belonged to Edwards where $140,000 was paid by Edwards via wire either directly to Thurston or via Harlan’s trust account. The deal was Hall needed additional funds and Edwards put in the money in exchange for a lot. Additionally, Harlan told Vissokovsky I took the $400,000 of Vissokovsky’s money he wired into Harlan’s trust account for purchasing his daughters homes. This was not the case.
26. In June 2006 I fly back to Vegas to wrap up my affairs as I am Moving to Moscow to start construction on coffee shops/restaurants and Medical clinics. While I am in Vegas cleaning out my residence when I find documents from the Florida Bar. Harlan requested we stop using his trust account several years ago because he had a procedural complaint from the Florida Bar during an audit. The real reason we could not use his trust account anymore was the Florida Bar Complaint is for miss appropriation of over $700,000 in Clients funds. One of the companies listed was a company Vissokovsky had sent money in to the trust account for $400,000 to buy his daughters two homes which Harlan was trying to exchange for the Thurston lot and construction. This is why Harlan blamed me for the missing money from Vissokovsky funds.
27. In June 2006 Linstragate agrees to back off the law suit against Worldwide and Vissokovsky as the Power of Attorney for Linstragate executes a settlement in lei of a substantial payment and continued monthly payments. Edwards wants to come to Moscow to meet and discuss a new direction, Linstragate starts getting substantial payments via Vissokovsky as the paymaster.
28. July 2006 Edwards comes to Moscow for meetings with Vissokovsky. He tells Vissokovsky he just made 50 million on a diamond deal and he needs to change the direction of Worldwide. In a private conversation with Edward’s, he comments to me that he had taken so much money of the market with no diamonds think of what we could make with real diamonds. Could I talk Vissokovsky into introducing us to his diamond suppliers in Russia? Vissokovsky arranges a meeting at a diamond cutting facility in Moscow. I accompany Edwards and Vissokovsky to the facility with another Russian. We are told we are the first Americans to tour the facility. Edwards also wants in on the construction project in the Seychelles which Vissokovsky had and the medical clinics we are building. Vissokovsky is concerned Edwards does not have the cash and Edwards proves he sent 30 million dollars to his wife’s relatives in China. Edwards also said he was doing low income housing projects in North Carolina and bought a bunch of land in North Las Vegas. In August Edwards calls Vissokovsky while I am in the Office of Vissokovsky house. Edwards needs Vissokovsky to rent offices for a Diamond Company as no one will rent to them since they have no track record in the New York diamond district. Since Linstragate is getting paid, Edwards is to invest in the Seychelles project and the medical clinics Vissokovsky fly’s into New York and secures an office at a building where he knew the owners in the New York City diamond district. The office will not be available until November and Vissokovsky rents an office in Rockefeller center at Edwards request to accommodate Alex Livak, the US contact. Edwards wants to use Global in the name as it was good luck in his mind from the transfer agency he backed with Helen Bagley of 1st Global Stock transfer along with the same name of a Vissokovsky company from 15 years ago. A press release is put out by Livak on behalf of Global announcing the new office. Wright edited most of the releases and decides to use an angle of the company re-opening the offices at the same building after 20 years since it was the same building Vissokovsky’s Global was in years ago. Vissokovsky had no involvement or knowledge of this or any other press releases with any public company.
29. During October 2006, Linstragate keeps getting payments from Worldwide/Global as per the 504 funding agreements Worldwide/Global executed with various entities and which was filed with the SEC under file number 13822 which found in the Edgar Archives. Things are calm but the office building where the diamond company is located is being sold. Edwards wants Vissokovsky to return and sign a new lease and an Estoppels certificate on behalf of Global. Vissokovsky refuses as he only did it as a favour from the onset of the company, and has a document prepared and notarized (at a US Embassy by a vice council) stating he is not affiliated with Global Diamond in any manner and has to decline to rent the office from the new owner.
30. Edwards asks Vissokovsky to at least introduce Alex Livak to the building managers as the new contact and Edwards says will handle the new lease since Vissokovsky was not willing.
31. Edwards while in Seychelles committed to help fund the waterfront development project for 50 million dollars. The MOU with the Seychelles Government is signed in early January 2007. Edwards vaporizes and drops off the face of the earth. I now can only contact him through Helen Bagley in Vegas. The Seychelles project does not get completed due to Edwards lack of participation.
32. Since the payments to Linstragate stopped in late 2007 and several months had passed Lallayan wants to liquidate the trusts 74% ownership since the certificates are over 2 years old and the restriction can be lifted and recoup any money possible to pay the remainder of the Linstragate debt.
33. Spring 2008. Lallayan calls the transfer agent and finds out from Helen Bagley that the trusts shares have been cancelled without his authority. Lallayan comes to Vissokovsky’s house while I’m there with numerous officials and trust associates. The meeting was less then pleasant to say the least. The trusts and Linstragate wants Vissokovsky to go to Vegas to find out what happened and who authorized the fraudulent cancelling the trusts shares.
34. Spring 2008 Vissokovsky fly’s to Las Vegas to Meet with Bagley. Apparently Helen cancelled the stock, distributed shares to her son, her sons Girlfriend, Adam Barnett and Victoria Wright, Mountain Passages, Austin Holdings among others. Barnett and Wright never paid Worldwide a dime. They liquidated millions of shares and kept the money.
35. Subsequently, Vissokovsky called me to find Barnett for a meeting in South Florida. I called but could only find Wright: she assured me she and Barnett would both be at the meeting but only Barnett showed up. Barnett explained and confirmed at the meeting he had traded all the Stock in Austin and Mountain over the past years did the entire raising and all the promotion for the 504s. (Including the OMDA 504 as he was the Chairmen of the company and traded his own stock.) He went on to say he and Wright owed nothing to Worldwide/Global because he was the market and without him not a dime would have been raised. The crosses and other stock he promoted were none of Vissokovsky business. Since Vissokovsky did not believe Barnett, they called me for Vissokovsky to hear it from me, we all (meaning Mountain, Austin, Winding River and multiple other accounts) got booted from a brokerage because Barnett traded all the accounts at one IP.
36. In summary Vissokovsky was asked by Linstragate to act as a paymaster and subsequently sent to the U.S. on Linstragate behalf since the two trusts were supposed to own 74% of Worldwide/Global which were fraudulently canceled. The trusts were willing to sell their shares into the market to pay off the balance owed to Linstragate. Also Vissokovsky was asked to find out where the trust’s shares went. Vissokovsky has no knowledge of the stock market or the workings of how to raise capital and fund public companies. Vissokovsky was strictly the paymaster of Linstragate at their choosing and has had no involvement in the sales, trading, promotion, press releases, management of Worldwide/Global, Mountain Passages, Austin Funding, Winding River or any other multiple companies involved.
37. I moved from Russia in 2008 and have not seen Vissokovsky since nor have I done any business with him since 2008. All of the business I conducted with Vissokovsky was overseas and in the Private Sector. There were never any businesses involved in the public markets. I never received any cash or money from Vissokovsky. I am personally repaying the shortfall monies owed to the two Trusts who paid the balance owed Linstragate.
38. I am personally familiar with Keith Houser and Bio Tech merger with Corbel Holdings.
39. I am familiar with Keith Houser. I personally paid for multiple plane tickets for Mr. Houser and his attorney William Haseltine in an attempt to try to sell his Halo Laser and made trips on his behalf.
40. I have read Mr. Houser depositions. They are outright lies and fabrications especially in reference to Vissokovsky and my involvement. It was evident Mr. Houser was coached by Bruce Harlan and Ed Thompson as to what to say in the depositions. This is proven by Houser’s statement in his deposition to the SEC on August 16th 2007 on page 75 detailing a phone conversation he had with a Nekrasov in April 2006. It is obvious that Houser confused the name Nekrasov while listening to Harlan’s coaching. Nekrasov was the manager of the Seafood Factory in Prague who did not speak English. A conversation would have been impossible. The only person who knew the name Nekrasov was Harlan. Consequently, Houser was coached by Harlan on what to say in the deposition to elude to Vissokovsky making such a call since Harlan owed Vissokovsky money and wanted him out of the way. There is no other way Houser would have known the name Nekrasov. Additionally, Vissokovsky does not speak with a “Heavy Russian Accent” as stated in the deposition by Houser.
41. Vissokovsky had no knowledge of Bio tech Medics, Houser’s company. The merger was effective in December 2004 when I only met Vissokovsky a couple of occasions. I never discussed Bio Tech Medics or Keith Houser with Vissokovsky. Vissokovsky had No participation in any stock transaction, no shares issued to him, no receipt of monies of any kind whatsoever for or on behalf of Biotech Medics. Vissokovsky never met Houser. Vissokovsky never contacted Houser he had no reason, he did not know the individual or the company. Vissokovsky did not launder monies at any time for me or anyone else as suggested in the indictment. However, Barnett on the other hand was in major disagreement with Houser legally and on the message boards. If you check the court records for the Barnett/Houser litigation you can confirm this to be true. I declare under penalty of perjury the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed this 19th day of June 2010.

Signed Jeffrey George Turino
