This entire proceeding came about because individuals including Peterson and his wife committed fraud and caused a company into bankruptcy which completely wiped out all the shareholders. If they had done the honest thing, they would have gone to the CEO, informed him that some of his employees were committing stock fraud and walked away knowing they had done a good deed. That didn't happen! They got over $300,000 from the sale of illegally obtain stock from the CEO as part of their agreement not to go to the authorities. They were named in the bankruptcy proceedings which was provided here and you can see what kind of fraudulent actions they were doing. There is nothing to defend here! What is missing is the final written agreement by the defendants ( their plea agreement ) that allowed them to escape criminal prosecution! Again I only present this info so our shareholders are aware of how this individual functions and that he has a negative agenda against Golden Leaf Holdings!
