Another week has begun

Yet another week has begun and still no word as to what is going on. Clients have emailed and called Paul and Gil with no response whatsoever. I just blocked my number and got Gil to answer his cell phone...which by the way is never accepting new messages as the voicemail is always full recently...and he said he would call me back...he said that last week too and never did. When I told him that he never returns calls, he said "I wonder why..." and hung up on me.

So, here we are heading into Labor Day weekend 2008 with no resolution on deals that were supposed to be funded no later than November 30, 2007. What a nightmare!

Monday, August 18, 2008

Again, no communication...

I blocked my caller ID and was able to get Gil on the phone at approximately 5:30pm EDT. He indicated that he was in a meeting and would call me back in an hour. It is now after 7pm EDT and still no return call...

Thursday, August 14, 2008

Another Week Past...

Well, we are almost at the end of yet another week and still no funding at all on any of the four deals involved.

I spoke with Paul early my Wednesday morning and he informed me that he had just gotten off a plane from Singapore in Zurich and that he had no updates at that time. I guess what he told me was 100% done is not as he is no longer in New Zealand and we still don't have funds.

I received a call yesterday afternoon, August 13, 2008 from Gil out of the blue. He informed me that all of their deals had gone bad because of this blog and that they were unable to close deals because people had found this and now want them to put up bonds. He also informed me that I was going to be sued by several of their clients, Paul and several governments, including China.

Gil did tell me that he thought these deals were going to be funded next week, but that "Paul would rather die than go down without a fight with me"...still no funds here...

Monday, August 4, 2008

August 4, 2008

I spoke to Paul at approximately 2:40am EDT...this is after the close of business in New Zealand on Monday. Paul once again assured me that things were 100% complete. He was very short with me and did not want to engage in a conversation. He did, however, tell me that he would be in touch with the escrow attorney "in the morning". I do not know if that is his morning or ours...can only assume that it is his morning as it is now almost noon here on the East Coast of the US and we have not heard a word from him...and it would have to be banking hours in New Zealand for him to send wire transfers to us to settle these deals.

This has been a very long road and I have no idea how it will end. Paul Douglas and Gil Freire have been promising funding to us for over 10 months on these four deals. They have told us funds our coming. They have told us that they have arranged short term funding and yet, we have not seen a dime. The delays have come at inordinate financial, personal and professional stress to all of these clients as well as to me and the other parties involved. We have made commitments and obligations based on the promises of the funds that never have come and thaths caused us all significant consequences.

We will see what today brings and whether or not the escrow attorney hears from Paul to settle these deals. I sure hope that one of these days soon they come through with the funding.

July 31, 2008...I spoke with Paul

I spoke with Gil, who informed me that his father had passed away and that he was dealing with that. So, I contacted Paul directly in New Zealand and he assured me that he was standing by hourly waiting for the call from the bank to send the transfers. He told me that the orders had been given and that this was 100% complete. Paul advised me that he would contact the escrow attorney in Texas as soon as he had the wires ready to go to make settlement arrangements. I asked if it would happen today and he told me that he was confident it would be today or at the very latest, EARLY next week.

Unfortunately, we have heard all that before and if you read back through this blog, you will see where we have been told the same thing several other times.

July 28, 2008...supposed to be funded by July 30, 2008

SARAH

YOU NEED TO CALL PAUL ITS HIS EMAIL OR WAIT FOR PATRICK SINCE YOU ARE TALKING TO HIM I WAS BUSY ALL WEEKEND...I HAVE NOT HEARD I WILL LATER BUT FOR NOW I HAVE BEEN BUSY...I BELIEVE WEDS...

July 25, 2008...more promises from Paul

Good morning Patrick, I have just got back form Europe...late last night and have just turned on my phone... to see the text message from you etc...Suggestion.. it might pay and help their nerves if you were to let them know that you have seen (admittedly only by email photo) that I holdover 900 million dollars worth of verifiable company shares (company is listed on the Nasdaq exchange..) and this is what we havearranged the credit lines against.- .I still have the big one - the certificate of 7 million shares (393 million worth) here with me and can send that to you again immediately along with a copy of todays Newspaper to verify the dates, who, where, etc..if you want..!!UPDATE..The transfers to you are EXPECTED to take place on or about my Tuesday (or Wednesday) bankers and other interference accepted..The delays over the past week (10 days) has been purely because of the banks and bankers.. (need this hard copy document.. need a hardcopy signature.. electronic or fax not accepted.. etc..) we have jumped thru all the hoops and been round the bloody world three times to fulfill all this.. and do not intend to drop the ball at this stage...Once I see my bankers on Monday morning I expect to speak with George and once is confirmed that all the dramas are over.. I will getGeorge on the phone to you to set up the schedules... who's first, what project is involved.. amounts etc..Best regards, Paul.

July 25, 2008...still telling us all is fine!

2. transfers completed to you and copy in my hands.
Regards,
Paul.

June 8, 2008...still promising funding

All-

I just spoke to Paul and was informed the following:

The funds have been sent from Zurich (or whereever they were coming from in Europe) and they are in the process of being cleared and receipted into the RCM accounts. This is the first traunch and is not the full $88.6M. Paul stated that he is waiting on a callback from the bank to confirm that the funds have been cleared, which he "believes" should be completed tomorrow morning NZ time.

Regarding Dobbins, Paul stated that he had a man named Claude Lowenz (unsure about spelling all you due diligence people out there) who is standing by to come over and meet with the Dobbins team and make final preparations

Thats all I was told

Patrick

June 5, 2008

Supposed to be funded by June 8, 2008...now August 4, 2008 and still no funds!

Hey Patrick, From what I have seen and what I know.... it appears your Sunday is the day..Will confirm ASAP.Paul.

June 4, 2008...the 100% guarantees

Hi Patrick... I have spoken with the bank both here in New Zealand as well as the International Section in Sydney which controls the international transfers for the bank - worldwide - and am confident that the funds will be fully cleared into my account by mid morning tomorrow.. no bloody jokes involved.. we are 100% about this... short to say.. it is finally done and you will see results either Friday (my time) Friday (your time) or my Monday.. Best regards, Paul.

More promises of imminent funding...June 3, 2008

Good afternoon Patrick, Thank you for the email.. Yes I am feeling a million percent better... thank you... can breather quite well know with out going off into a coughing fit... God I hate planes...having spoke to the bankers this afternoon they can still not give me a "this is the hour" notice.. but advise that it is proceeding as quickly as possible. I trust that by this time tomorrow I can confirm most things for you.. including the timing of events.. payments, transfers, etc etc.. You know like I do.. that matters like this take there own sweet time thru the banking systems.. and it is worse when you are standing by hour by hour to receive it. However we know that it has left the other end.. and is only a matter of time before it arrives.Regards, Paul.

Funds are in route...May 29, 2008

All-
I got a text last night from paul that said the following: "good afternoon Patrick,,,,yes, your understanding is correct...A large transfer is indeed on the way down here right now..."

I then texted back asking about specific time, date, etc., and he said he wasn't sure.....


I am going to Mexico today, but if I receive any additional information, I will let all know

Patrick

They don't like my inquiries...May 28, 2008

But, once again promise it is done and funds are coming...

SARAH

STOP WITH YOUR CRAP,, WE WILL HEAR FROM HIM TODAY... ALL IS FINE AND WE ARE LOOKING GETTING ALL FUNDS DONE THIS WEEK..SO TRY BE A LITTLE MORE PATIENT OK...DON'T CALL ME ILL CALL OR EMAIL YOU WHEN I KNOW OR HEAR FROM PAUL...

More Delays...May 23, 2008

All-

I received an email from Gil stating that there was a delay with the bank in NZ; he believed that the initial traunch should be going out on Tuesday. If I get any more info, I will let all know

Patrick

Funds promised again on May 21, 2008

All-

I just got off the phone with Gil. Paul was not able to call me directly, so he had Gil call on his behalf. Per Gil, Paul informed him the funds have been sent to the NZ bank and the first traunch should be going out this afternoon or the following morning, NZ time. Gil has informed me that he should have actual confirmation by this afternoon. There will be 2 traunches, but it is not known the actual amount of each traunch. As soon as I hear back from anyone or as soon as I receive any concrete documentation, I will let all know


Patrick

Paul's response to our inquiries...

Good afternoon Sarah, Terry and Gil, I am no even going to answer any of this crap as written below... only to say one thing to you... Monday in Europe was a Bank holiday in 90% of the places we are dealing with.. so even with all your abilities.. I doubt that you could do anything when the banks are closed....Get a life....Paul.

May 11, 2008...More promises

Good evening Patrick, I expect to have "firm details" regarding the transfer that we have discussed either on Monday or Tuesday.. (monday being a holiday in some parts of Europe) the bankers have all been affirmative about the payment and I have been hanging on here waiting for the paperwork.. then I can get home for a break before coming back to Europe and then Dubai..to sign off the proposal down there.Will call you first..

May 7, 2008...funds were supposed to be 24-36 hours away

Good afternoon Patrick,I have just gotten back into the hotel following a huge day with the banks the lawyers and the investment banker..as I advised you last week the "orders" have been given to the investment banker for the first funds to come to you and I have signed off all of the papers for this to happen.. I am expecting the copies of these transfers in the next 24 to 36 and will send a copy direct to you when these are in my hands.. I will also call you and advise that the transfer is 100% complete.. and the copy is in my hands..The payment out to cover the balance of the "squeaky wheels".. along with the monies for the bio plant will be available about 10days after the first payment is sent...Best regards,Paul.

April 29, 2008...a promise of funds

Good morning Patrick,Thank you for the cell phone message. It just got thru to me.. The banks were closed up here yesterday (Monday)in most part of Eastern Europe.. (where one of our bank accounts are based..) Greece and the surrounding countries included..they were closed for the Orthodox Easter celebrations..Everything is still proceeding 100% for us.. and those shares that I sent the copies to you of are proceeding with the banks very verywell. As you can imagine with an asset like that (just over 950 million) as well as the copper (this parcel just over 195 million) the banks arecautious.. but happy with the authenticity and validity of the assets presented.We anticipate the first of the monies being available to your accounts before the end of this week.. so the little bird concerned wastweeting the correct tune..I will be able to confirm everything to you over the next 24 hours or so.. but have had 100% confirmation that everything is fine..and on track. As above I do seriously expect to have the first of the monies transferred to your accounts before EuropeThursday.. will advise transfer details and amounts as soon as this is available to me from the bank.. as I am told it.."some monies this week... lots of monies available to transfer next week."I will hold them to their word.. and then head back to NZ as quick as.. my granddaughter's first birthday is the 12th May..and I want to be there for that..Best regards,Paul.

April 23, 2008

Another imminent promise of funding from Paul:

All-

I received word from Paul and he indicated the following:

He will be setting out tonight (NZ time, I assume) at 5pm to go to Dubai and then Vienna (he didn’t say that part, this is my assumption based on earlier conversations with him, i.e.- that it will be Dubai then Vienna). He stated that the bank is acting slowly, but that he should be finalizing the CL in Vienna (and I assume in the other European bank) upon his arrival. I assume that once the CLs are finalized, we should see something by Friday or so (this is my assumption again based on earlier conversations with him).

Do not under any circumstances, take my words and beat anyone else over the head with them; I am sending this out to keep all informed, not to provide ammunition…if this occurs from any member of this group, I will stop providing updates.

That’s all I know

A mid-April Funding promised...April 16, 2008

Patrick

Another promise of funding from Paul...April 10, 2008

Just got off the phone with Paul, and was told the following:

There are 3 routes to get the funds, (1) Credit Line from tranche of stock via the Bank of Vienna; (2) Credit line via other tranches of stock via other European bank (I didn’t write it down) and (2) Sam via the Chicago company.

The Bank for (1) has confirmed the CL against the stock and the board of directors has been dragging their feet, but is expected to convene tomorrow to sign off and finalize the CL. Once this occurs, Paul will fly to Vienna (expected to be Monday), sign off on the CL and be able to start pulling from it in 24 hours or so, so Tuesday/Wed next week.

Once he is finished in Vienna, he will drive to Bank (2) and expects to finalize that CL on the same day, with ability to pull from its CL during the same timeline.

Once the CL for (1) is finalized, this will put Sam in Chicago more at ease, and he should be able to send over the funds to fund the smaller deals (i.e.-Heights and Amendola) first, along with part of Terry’s I assume, with the remainder of Terry and Dobbins to be funded as RCM pulls from the CLs.

In other words, there are 3 avenues that, depending on which one is completed first, will be used to fund the smaller deals, with the 2 CLs to be used, depending on which one is completed first, to fund the larger ones.

That’s all I know

Patrick

April 6, 2008

Paul is now refusing to talk to me because I filed a case with the FBI after this dragged on for more than 6 months!

Sarah, Given the reports that were sent to me by Terry Lee as well as the lawyers in Houston, confirming that you had gone to the FBIto make complaints about us.. I had a discussion concerning you, the FBI and the clients with my lawyers both here in New Zealand as well as the lawyers in London, and they advised me as follows:"Given that it is 'reported' that Sarah Carswell has laid a complaint with the FBI and further that it is 'reported' that her complaint is that what you have done is criminal and fraudulent and the likes.. and potentially that this will finish infront of the courts.. then the matter is considered "sub judecea" . ........accordingly I have been informed / instructed that I do not speak to you or to Terry Lee or anyone further until this matter is resolved one way or the other..because anything that I may say could be used against me and under New Zealand law (which is the law under which the contracts were signed) I do not have to update, advise, speak too you or anything of the like..and further he advises that I say absolutely nothing to you period.Accordingly I am providing this email to you only out of courtesy.. so you know exactly why I am not replying to your emails or taking your calls.We will continue to work for and on behalf of and in the interests of the clients and have discussed with the lawyers in Houston exactly where we are and what we are doing. However beyond this advice I will not be making any further advices or any future calls or emails to you whatsoever. communication will only be directed via the lawyers.. and that contact will be relating to the clients and settlements etc.Paul Douglas.

Another Call to the attorney on April 3, 2008

All-

I received word from Paul that I would have news within 24 hours (this time tomorrow); so I will keep everyone posted as to all this-

This is all I know, so please don’t grill me with questions…

Patrick

March 31, 2008

Conversely Sarah, you spoke to the banker in Vienna on Friday.. he gave you the timeframes... BE SATISFIED with that.. you will be updated when he believes that you need to know more..Nothing has changed since you spoke to him at 10pm FRIDAY night Europe time.. and it is now 11.45pm Sunday night (the time changed in Europe over the weekend so they are one hour further ahead of you than Friday). I have more than enough to do than to advise you of what is happening hour by hour. Results are what we are working on right now and time taken out from that activity to spend on the emails is non productive and a complete waste of everyones time.so as expressed above... do not make demands of when we will update you.. or when the banker will talk to you again.. I agree with you in one part only and that is "the settlements"... these settlements are what we want more than you do.. !!We will advise what, when, and how.. but we will advise.. you do not demand when that will take place.Paul.

March 26, 2008

Now they promise a letter, not funds.

All-

This is what I received from Paul this morning:

Good evening Patrick,I have just spoken with the bankers in Vienna, and have made arrangements for a letter to be sent to me from the bank confirming that they have received the ''assets" with a value of USD $..................................and that against these assets they have arranged a creditline in the amount of USD $...................................for me to use in settlement of our respective projects.This letter is arranged and will be in my hands either later tonight my time or on my tomorrow.. i thought that this might be some handy ammunition while we make it all work for each and everyone of them.I will advise you immediately that this letter is on hand.Best regards,Paul.

Again with the promises...March 24, 2008

I have spoken to Patrick this morning concerning the completion and funding of your file..
and given the nature of the current communications (Sarah's included) I wish to limit the advices regarding such proposed dates to communication between myself, my lawyers and Patrick.
I can in all good faith advise that matters are very very close to you having the funds in your hands and I have been discussing with Patrick this morning the timing of these events.
I do not propose at this time to say that it is going to be 9am this day or that.. for very obvious reasons.. none the less being at 9.01am on that day i would be receiving a further series of communications regardless of where the banks and bankers are at that time. Please be mindful that the bankers in Europe have been on holiday since Thursday evening and will not be back at work until 9am tomorrow (Tuesday morning) at which time I will be speaking to them , our people in Chicago etc etc. after which I will be able to advise Patrick further regards such timing.
Until then, sincerely,
Paul

March 21, 2008...a call to the attorney/more promises

I received word from Paul last night and the following is set to occur:

The Chicago group that is set to advance the initial $50M went well yesterday and are in the process to transfer funds to me for the benefit of the projects as expeditiously as possible.

The BG is in the hands of the bankers who are ready to advance $100M to RCM this next week.

In other words, RCM has 2 routes by which to fund the 4 projects, the $50M from Chicago (which will take care of Heights, Amendola, Terry and some of Dobbins) and/or the $100M advance. Paul has been very forthcoming with responding to my emails, speaking to me via phone, etc. and seems extremely confident that one or both of these avenues will hit next week or sooner (although that is doubtful because of the holiday weekend).

That’s all I know, so I suggest all give them next week to make good on this.

March 19, 2008...more assurances of funding!

Things are progressing at a rate that we are all happy with in Vienna and the bank has given us a favorable reply, .. and so to facilitate a closing as quick as possible we have arranged a "cash injection" based upon the Bank Guarantee and other collateral we have arranged, from our man in Chicago. I have a telephone conference with them in Chicago in about 7 hours at which time we envisage that everything will be completed. I will advise Patrick of details concerning those transfers as soon as that information is in my hands. At this time I am in their hands.. but can advise we will be settling these matters in full as quickly as is possible.. exact timing will be advised when confirmed to me.Best regards, Paul.

March 18, 2008...we had hope when he called the attorney

All-

I was just phoned by Paul Douglas and was told the following:

They are in the process of finalizing BG (or whatever you do with a BG) in the amount of $123,560,000 USD (I have seen a copy of the BG attesting to this) and will use that, along with shares from the recent purchase of a company, to collateralize a contractual arrangement with a Chicago based company. The company has $50M in funds allocated for this purpose. Paul has already sent the contract to the Chicago Company, the Chicago Company has already agreed to the contract terms (the Chicago Company is waiting by the phone/email to complete this deal) and the funds should be available this week. Once this is completed, the funds for the 3 smaller deals (Terry, Amendola and Heights) will be wired into my IOLTA account, whereupon I will wire them to the respective parties. As stated, he told me this should happen this week, as the Chicago Company is RWA.

RCM is finalizing a larger deal that will have Dobbins attached to it, and Dobbins should be funded either next week or the following week.

You are free to send this to Client #1, but inform him that, prior to disbursing any funds I will require him to sign a formal release with this firm.

I am now waiting for Paul to get back to me about the final docs, etc., which he told me should be in a few days.

Understand that Paul has NEVER called me before and I take this a light at the end of this tunnel.

March 19, 2008...Paul says he will arrange settlements

so much for "good faith...".. I took your calls on Saturday.. against my better judgement and told you exactly what the current up to date information was.. additionally I took calls and made calls to Terry to confirm exactly what was what..Unlike yourself when I spoke to Terry..he listened to what I had to say and understood.. and by the time we conveyed messages backand forth three times.. every one was clear...As I advised.. "as soon as the banker in Europe, confirms that the bank guarantee (which he has already received) is clearedand everything is acceptable (which as I advised would be either Monday or Tuesday) then we would be in a position to have fundswithin 24 to 36 hours..."I did not and continue to advise that I DID NOT at any time advise that funds would be there on Wednesday.. that is what you continuallyrepeated to me and I continually advised you that you were NOT listening.. I even slowed down and spoke one word at a time so you would notget confused.. but still and here we are today and you are saying the same...Further Sarah.. I did you the courtesy of advising you this morning.. in writing exactly that every thing was great.. I know you got this advice..because you sent it on to Brett with your little note..
So Sarah, professional courtesy aside.. you will NOT be getting any further advices from me.. because you have insulted me for the last time.. you have also twisted things that I have said to suit yourself for the last time.. I suggest that you concentrate your time and efforts elsewhere and wait for the settlements to take place.Gentlemen, I will be advising Patrick later tonight concerning the timing of the settlements and to make the necessary arrangements..and as necessary will be advising you both of those settlements under separate cover.regards, Paul

March 17, 2008...Paul Says All is well...

since the phone has started to ring its nuts off.. I guess it is time for me to wake up and start work again... people.. just a hint..
given that I tend to work with Europe and Dubai as well as the East coast of USA I do tend to work hours that other people would not necessarily work.. it is worse than being a shift worker..
at least as a shift worker people leave you alone when you are supposed to be sleeping..
However that said.. when I got to bed this morning.. (5 hours ago) the bankers had confirmed to me that everything was STILL going well and that we are still on track for this week.
Soon as I get any definite timing regards settlements etc.. I will advise you immediately.. however as above.. it is 100% okay..
Bank is happy.. clients (in Europe) are happy.. office in Dubai is working brilliantly.
regards,
Paul.

March 16, 2008...Gil Gets Mad!

More promises...and no delivery!

for the point of EXTREME clarity.. I will call and advise WHEN I get the confirmation form our bank / bankers.. ONLY WHEN I GET THE CONFIRMATION will I call .. I will not be calling prior to that. WHEN I GET THE ADVICE THAT IT IS RECEIVED AND ACCEPTED... I WILL CALL.. DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING...I have back up plans as I have advised 'people' before.. and these are subject to getting confirmation that the BG etc is on hand.. accepted and cleared.and further as I told you I will be leaving for Europe "as a result of what is happening in Europe".. so I will not be travelling until these instruments are cleared.Paul.

March 12, 2008...another broken promise!

As per our telephone conversation.. after your email... I can only conclude that some things do not translate well between "kiwi" and american.. cause you missed what I was saying in one or two (several actually) places.. I will go through your email and make the corrections so you have it plain. Best regards, Paul.

Paul, I received your voicemail and was happy to hear your update. You are fine up to here..From what I understand, you have cash (not cash.. as I pointed out in our phone call one is a Bank Guarantee and the second one is a "Confirmation of funds / Assets" and the third instrument is a "blocking of funds" )in route from a bank in Belgium to your banker in Europe and you are expecting confirmation of receipt of those funds (no.. expecting to receive the bank advices' tonight..no one mentioned money tonght.) tonight I am expecting confirmation and an update between midnight or 1am your time (I am expecting these advices before midnight / 1am my time - NZ time) At that point, we are expecting to hear that the funds have cleared and posted to your accounts. (upon confirmation by the bankers that any one of these instruments have arrived and any one of these instruments 'cleared' then we will have the funds inside 24 hours. )Please call me at any time of the day or night to update me with when funds will be on hand in Patrick's trust account so we can be funded. You can reach me at 210-xxx-xxxx. I will await your update for funding by close of our work week this week as promised in our conversation last evening.

another 100% guarantee!

Client #3 spoke with Paul in New Zealand on March 11, 2008...

Per my conversation with Paul at 5:45 PM today, He has assured me that 100% he will fund the projects this week. ( I know we have all heard this before.) He said that I will have an update from him at 10:00 AM ish in the morning . He will be speaking to the banks in Europe this evening his time to complete the transaction for payouts from BG’s.

He will give me direct update tomorrow. We will see!!
