The World Hockey Association Releases Statement Concerning the Resignation of John D. Briner as CEO of Global Developments, Inc.

VANCOUVER, BC, Apr 04, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- The World Hockey Association (PINKSHEETS: WHKA) released a statement this morning concerning the resignation of John D. Briner as CEO of Global Developments, Inc. (GDVM). The statement was prepared in response to numerous shareholder inquires concerning what effect, if any, the resignation of Briner as CEO of GDVM would have on the WHA'S plans for counterclaim litigation against GDVM and other "Briner Group" related parties to a lawsuit filed in US Federal Court.

The WHA wishes to reassure its shareholders that the resignation of John D. Briner as CEO of GDVM will not have any effect on its plans to file counterclaim litigation for damages against Global Developments, Inc. and/or any of the parties related to the former Briner Group as well as former and/or current partners of the Briner Group and affiliated companies thereof.

The WHA believes it has suffered enormous damages as a result of the actions of John D. Briner and other individuals with whom he associated as well as other companies which were under his total or partial control and the WHA intends to file these counterclaims very shortly. The WHA believes its shareholders will be very pleased to see upcoming events, including court filings, which will concern these matters.

WHKA CEO Ricky Smith commented, "We are going to hold Global Developments, Inc. fully responsible for its part in significant damages we feel are due to our company as the result of actions initiated by John Briner and any entities controlled by him and/or his associates which were part of this whole mess. As far as we are concerned, the resignation of Briner will not let Global Developments off the hook. We intend to vigorously pursue Global in Federal Court for a variety of offenses we believe they have committed against the WHA."

Smith added, "As far as John Briner, The Briner Group, and all its partners are concerned, yesterday's late night resignation of Briner from GDVM would have no effect whatsoever on our plans. We intend to aggressively proceed with court actions against all of them. They will not be able to hide from this fight."

Everyone is lining up to sue Briner. Here's the latest Caswell article


Bogue, Briner et al. face New Jersey share suit


2007-04-04 19:22 ET - Street Wire

by Mike Caswell

Vancouver lawyer John Briner, who has dealings with a number of interesting pink sheets companies, has turned up in a U.S. civil suit over shares of an OTC Bulletin Board listing. New York resident Ellen Stone claims Mr. Briner bought stock she owned in Bogue Electric Manufacturing Co., but she did not agree to sell it.

The suit was filed last November in New Jersey. In addition to naming Mr. Briner as a defendant, it lists New Jersey businessmen Henry Schinman, Anthony Sabbatino and Mark Santangelo, as well as California resident Raymond McNamee and Florida resident Charles Irizarry. It also lists Bogue and a related private company.

Ms. Stone wants her shares back or, alternatively, payment for them.

According to the suit, Ms. Stone owned 331,817 shares of Bogue Electric Manufacturing Co., an inactive OTC-BB listing until recently. The company last issued a quarterly report in 1998, and had not convened a shareholders meeting since then.

Bogue was reactivated in 2006, after Mr. Briner allegedly bought 670,669 shares from three New Jersey businessmen, Mr. Schinman, Mr. Sabbatino and Mr. Santangelo, for $180,000. The stock represented a controlling interest in the company.

Included in that transaction were Ms. Stone's shares, her lawsuit alleges. She says Mr. Briner knew, or should have known, that the New Jersey businessmen did not own the stock they purported to own.

Ms. Stone does not explain exactly how the share transfer took place, or how her shares ended up in Mr. Briner's hands.

Apparently Mr. Briner was acting as an agent for another defendant, Mr. Irizarry, who changed the company's name and turned it into a junior miner.

Mr. Briner, in a response to the lawsuit, which he filed Tuesday, denies any wrongdoing. He says the other people in the deal caused any damages Ms. Stone may have sustained.

"The answering Defendant was the victim of fraud and misrepresentations of co-defendants, over whom this answering Defendant had no control," Mr. Briner says in court filings. He has filed a crossclaim against the New Jersey businessmen.

Most of the other defendants have filed general denials.

Mr. Briner is the president of Global Developments Inc., a Vancouver company that invests in start-ups, mostly trading on the pink sheets. One of his portfolio companies, Red Truck Entertainment Inc., was recently suspended by the U.S. Securities Commission in Operation Spamalot.

It does not appear Global has any interest in Bogue, which is now known as Bogue International Inc.

The company has an agreement for a coal project in Colombia. It lists its head office at a Florida address and its president as Mr. Irizarry. The stock closed Tuesday at 13 U.S. cents, off from a 52-week high of $1.09 (U.S.).

The latest Caswell article!!! Briner Caught with his hands in the cookie jar again!


SEC suspends Briner-linked Irwin Resources


2007-04-17 18:15 ET - Street Wire

Also Street Wire (U-IWRS) Irwin Resources Inc


by Mike Caswell

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has suspended three spam stocks, and one has links to Vancouver lawyer John Briner, 29. The suspensions announced Friday are the newest part of an SEC crackdown on junk e-mails called Operation Spamalot.

The SEC names three companies, Irwin Resources Inc., Peopleline Telecom Inc. and Amerossi EC Inc. Irwin can be linked to Vancouver's Mr. Briner through his former company, Global Developments Inc.

Until recently Mr. Briner was the president of Global Developments, which invests in start-ups. Global's companies have some similarities -- most trade on the pink sheets, many are spam stocks and nearly all of them fall in value.

In the first round of Operation Spamalot, the SEC suspended one of Global's investments, Red Truck Entertainment Inc. Red Truck was the target of spam campaigns in 2005 and 2006, when it was known as Montana Oil & Gas Inc. and Mr. Briner worked as its lawyer.

In one spam campaign Montana Oil fell from 50 cents to 24 cents, and from $1.70 to 12 cents in another. It is not clear who owned the company's shares, but Mr. Briner was its lawyer and should have had access to that information.

Friday's SEC suspension lists another Global investment, Irwin Resources, as a spam stock.

Global disclosed ownership of a $685,000 convertible debenture in Irwin's predecessor last November. Junk e-mails began touting the stock Feb. 23, and the company fell from 90 cents to 29 cents by March 15.

It is not clear if Mr. Briner has any links to Irwin's former chairman, Dr. Erwin Liem, who is awaiting trial for unrelated fraud charges. Last July the RCMP charged Mr. Liem for fraudulently obtaining shares of Global Cogenix Industrial Corp., a former TSX Venture Exchange listing for which he served as a director. His trial comes up in March, 2008.

Mr. Liem was also a director of Goldmark Industries Inc., a Vancouver company suspended in the first round of Operation Spamalot.

Mr. Briner resigned as Global's president earlier this month, citing bad press and comments in Internet forums. "He felt that it was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders for him to step down until he had an opportunity to deal with the false allegations and clear his name," Global said in a news release.

Mr. Briner did not return a request for comment, and nobody at Irwin Resources returned phone messages. The SEC has not accused Mr. Briner or Mr. Liem of any wrongdoing.

Another Vancouver spam stock

Irwin was not the only Vancouver company on the SEC's list Friday. The regulator also halted Peopleline Telecom Inc., which has an address in Los Angeles but a Vancouver phone number.

Peopleline was a spam favourite for two months in early 2006 and again in March, 2007. The company, which sells Internet phone service, denied having anything to do with the junk e-mails.

Peopleline's chief executive officer is Edward Gallagher, a Vancouver businessman also charged with fraud last July for Global Cogenix dealings. Mr. Gallagher has been with Peopleline since at least 2005, and remained with the company even after the Global Cogenix charges became public.

Mr. Gallagher did not return a message seeking comment for this story, and the SEC has not accused him of any wrongdoing.

The last stock suspended Friday was Amerossi EC Inc., a purported oil and gas company based in Thailand. Until last May it listed a Toronto address and called itself Microgenix Filtration Systems Inc.

The SEC has now suspended 38 stocks since Operation Spamalot began, including 17 with Vancouver links, but it has not charged a single person for spamming.

The World Hockey Association Files Eleven Counterclaims in US Federal Court for Violations of Securities Laws, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Diversion of Assets, Fraud, Conspiracy, Rico Statute Violations and Others


Apr 19, 2007 2:04:00 PM
VANCOUVER, BC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/19/07 -- The World Hockey Association (PINKSHEETS: WHKA) announced today that it filed eleven claims for relief against a number of named and unnamed parties in Federal Court on Wednesday. The claims cover a wide range of alleged offenses against the WHA including violations of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty, diversion of assets, fraud, conspiracy, and Rico Statute violations as well as other alleged wrongdoing.

Counter-defendants named to the suit include Nexus Asset Holdings, LLC (a Texas Corp), and Global Developments, Inc. (a Delaware Corp). Third party defendants named include John D Briner, a Vancouver securities lawyer and former CEO of Global Developments, Inc., Briner Group, Inc. (a purported Canadian Corp), Esther Briner, OTC Filers, Inc., West Coast Stock Transfer (a purported Canadian Corp), Continental Stock Transfer Company (a purported New York Corp), Rieghardt Van Enter, Jason Ashdown, Erwin Liem, North Plains Enterprises, LLC (a purported Texas Corp), Texas Media LLC (a purported Texas Corp), ten "John Doe" defendants and ten "Roe" Corporation defendants.

Among other allegations, the WHA says the named defendants and counter-defendants conspired to manipulate the market in WHA securities thereby causing the company, its Directors, the WHA League, and its shareholders substantial damages. Included among those said to have been damaged as a result of the actions of the third party defendants and counter-defendants is Robert "Bobby" M Hull, the current WHA League Commissioner. Hull was a three-time NHL scoring champion, two-time NHL Most Valuable Player and is ranked number 8 on the list of the 100 greatest hockey players ever.

WHKA CEO Ricky Smith commented, "We expect the court will see fit to award our company substantial damages and specific performance claims. We are not in business to file lawsuits, but the harm caused to our company and its shareholders was so enormous, we have had no other choice than to turn to the courts for remedy. We have now placed this in the hands of our attorney. Our lawsuit claims speak for themselves."

Smith added, "When asked last night in a SPR radio interview if I believed our claims to be justified, I stated quite clearly that I believe the one hundred million US Dollars in damages to be a conservative figure. The fallout from the actions of the defendants to our company has been severe and reputations have been damaged as well. We now expect the perception of past events will be cast in a much different light."
