Yes, VKLEPA seemed very mad at his broker Mr John Jerome Cronin; SECURITIES & FUTURES COMMISSION TO THE BUSINESS EDITOR FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 5 January 1999 Press Release SFC Takes Action Against Unregistered Dealing Activities The Securities and Futures Commission announced that it had successfully prosecuted Amber Global Limited (AGL) for carrying on a business of dealing in securities whilst unregistered. AGL pleaded guilty before Ms Polly Lo at Western Magistracy today. AGL was fined $10,000 and ordered to pay costs of $7,400 to the SFC. The SFC investigation revealed that during the period 1 April to 30 July 1998, AGL acted as an agent in Hong Kong for Amber Securities Corporation (ASC), a company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States as a securities broker. Sales staff of AGL were instructed by Mr John Jerome Cronin (Cronin), the person-in-charge of the operation of AGL, to recruit clients in Hong Kong to open accounts with ASC and then receive their securities trading instructions for onward transmission to ASC.

Now you would think I was making this stuff up about VKLEPA. I am not. Read this post from Francois Goelo who also signed a afadavit against me. You may wonder why VKLEPA is so angry at his broker. He says Amber has been ripping off his friends on RB. No wonder. Look who his broker is; "Yes, you have helped a great deal in dispelling some innuendoes from another Kiwi. Regards, F. Goelo + + + " To: Lou Farrell (1815 ) From: Francois Goelo Tuesday, May 18 1999 11:02AM ET Reply # of 6514 Most interesting RB post on ZSUN from another New Zealander: Vlekpa... "To GRUMMAN I am like you. I bought into ZSUN without any research, relying on the broker's recommendation. I was a very happy man when it went up through the roof. Now I am less happy. My broker advises me to hold on. Apparently the short position is worth $8mln. They have to cover it some day. I bombarded Ziasun with my "I am very concerened" and "I demand some action" e-mails. Got a very nice reply from John Hirsch and many phone calls from my broker. They sound very confident. My stockholding is too small for them to keep me in. I am not worth their time and money spent on the phone calls. I believe they have something in the making to surprise the shorters. And they are very confident that the second quarter financial results (showing profits from the onlone training company; I uderstand the $0.11 profit per share is generated by Swiftrade only) will be great. There is one more thing which makes me hold on. You may have read those negative postings about John Cronin. Actually I have had a very good experience with him. I applied for Swiftrade account on line. I got a phone call from John (I am in NZ). He spent good 45 minutes on the phone, giving me a lot of good advise. But what impressed me most was, that he advised me against opening a marigin account. In his opinion I was not ready to take such risks. My loss - his profit, and still ... The rebuttal was very good, but much too late. This stock will take off, the shorts themselve will push it up. With good financial reports and new announcements (Nasdaq ?) it should be a money maker. If it happens the shorts will not touch it again. Have I helped? Yes, you have helped a great deal in dispelling some innuendoes from another Kiwi. Regards, F. Goelo + + +
