<b.(SEC Thailand) has filed criminal complaint against International Asset ManagementCo., Ltd. (IAM) and 2 executives of IAM - Mr. Dan Sterk and Mr. Stephen Robert Casciola SEC Thailand Filed Criminal Complaint against 3 Offenders for Conducting Unlicensed Securities Businesses and Engaging in Fraudulent Activities SEC News No. 32/2001 Friday, October 19, 2001 SEC Thailand Filed Criminal Complaint against 3 Offenders for Conducting Unlicensed Securities Businesses and Engaging in Fraudulent Activities On October 19, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand (SEC Thailand) has filed criminal complaint against International Asset Management Co., Ltd.

Following the raid on August 7, 2001 and further investigation of documents seized from IAM including information and evidences received from foreign complainants, the SEC Thailand found that IAM has operated securities businesses without having licenses and has fraudulently acted against foreign investors.

Later on, foreign investors have experienced either difficulties in getting their money back or that no further contacts could be made with the entity concerned. Evidences indicated that IAM has frequently changed its places of business and attempted to conceal its business operations by renting virtual office to avoid direct contacts from investors. Moreover, IAM has also created false understanding about the prices of securities that has been offered or sold to foreign investors by referring to th e prices that are quoted in the Bloomberg's website. In fact, securities offered or sold to those foreign investors are deemed to be "restricted securities" which have resale limitations. As such, they have no liquidity and are not the same issues as those non-restricted securities reported in they and Bloomberg's website. The prices of restricted securities may be lowery and than those of non-restricted securities as investors were led to bey andlieve. In this regard, such actions are considered to be a fraudulent ay andct. In case of Mr. Dan Sterk and Mr. Stephen Robert Casciola, they are the incorporators of IAM, and directors who have authorities to operate IAM and control IAM accounts. In this regard, they are considered to jointly commit such offenses with IAM. As such, the SEC Thailand has filed criminal complaint against these 3 offenders on the conspiracy of operating securities businesses in Thailand without having licenses and engaging in fraudulent activities with the Office of the Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Royal Thai Police for further investigation. Such aforementioned activities are in contravention of Section 90 of the Securities and Exchange Act B.E. 2535 with Section 83 of the Penal Code, and Section 343 of the Penal Code with Section 83 of the Penal Code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- [ SEC News ]

Until the appointment of a receiver, Danny Sterk was chief executive officer of TransAmerica and a principal of ITC. On November 28, 1995, a permanent injunction was entered against Sterk in SEC v. Danny Sterk et al., Civil Action No. 94-6805-CIV- Gonzalez, in the United States District Court for the Southern UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Litigation Release No. 14909 / May 13, 1996 SEC v. Dan Stuart, (S.D. Fl., Civil Action No. 96-6425-CIV-ZLOCH, filed May 2, 1996). The Commission announced that on May 2, 1996, the Honorable William J. Zloch, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, entered a permanent injunction enjoining Dan Stuart ("Stuart") from violating Sections 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, thereunder. The defendant consented to the relief without admitting or denying the allegations set forth in a complaint previously filed by the Commission on April 22, 1996. The Court further ordered Stuart to pay disgorgement in the amount of $735,000, including pre-judgment interest. The Court waived payment of all but $225,000 of the disgorgement and declined to impose civil penalties based upon sworn representations by Stuart concerning his inability to pay the additional sum. In its complaint, the Commission alleged that Dan Stuart, in his capacity as president of TransAmerica Wireless Systems, Inc. ("TransAmerica"), directed the use of television infomercials, mailings and telephone boiler rooms to sell interests in general partnerships purportedly formed to develop multi-channel microwave distribution service ("MMDS") "wireless" television systems, also known as microwave pay television and wireless cable television. Partnership interests were sold through TransAmerica, a Florida-based corporation, formerly located in Fort Lauderdale, and Intercontinental Telecommunications Corporation ("ITC"), a Florida corporation, formed by the principals of TransAmerica. Each corporation is currently under the control of a receiver. The Commission alleges that agents of TransAmerica and ITC, acting at the direction of Stuart and other principals, misrepresented or failed to disclose material facts in connection with the sales. Among other misrepresentations, TransAmerica and ITC claimed to be negotiating for FCC licenses when, in fact, no such negotiations were taking place. Predictions were also made to the investors of the exorbitant profits to be made, when, in fact, there was no reasonable basis for the projections. Until the appointment of a receiver, Danny Sterk was chief executive officer of TransAmerica and a principal of ITC. On November 28, 1995, a permanent injunction was entered against Sterk in SEC v.

Defamation Lawsuit by: azlaw2001 08/11/01 01:42 pm Msg: 2288 of 2296 Our firm represents HMC and is moving forward with a full and intensive legal action against all those that are trying to improperly cause harm to the company. This suit will include any person or entity that is party to divulging of proprietary information of the companies and/or publishes defamatory comments or accusations. With the assistance of local counsel, we will be serving subpoenas on several key individuals in the Sequim and Port Angeles, Washington areas that are known to have affiliations with these posters. Anyone who has been contacted by former employees of Znetix and/or HMC with alleged "inside" or "confidential" information, please contact our office.

Case number is 01-2-24299-7SEA (Superior Court of Washington for King County). They mistakenly claimed that jplossi and I are husband and wife and/or ex-employees of the company. The suit was filed by a Washington attorney named Brad Steiner of Steiner Norris PLLC. When I fought this ridiculous lawsuit, Steiner referred my attorney to David Bray in Arizona. They never responded to the numerous attempts by my attorney to contact them. Essentially, their claim was that in my post number 2005 (on this board), I supposedly claimed that the company had threatened investors (which I did not). The exact excerpt from my post reads: "7. Investors have been threatened with both legal action and bodily harm for criticizing the company and the wisdom of the investment. Rellie's HMC Discussion Group board was abandoned and all posts deleted as a concession to these threats. If anyone would like examples of the threats, I can pull them from posts on this Yahoo board. The threats from Rellie's old board are now gone." Clearly, I was referring to posts made on internet message boards with no specific reference to employees/officers as the offending parties. However, since the SEC action, some investors have related to me stories of being threatened by company representatives, indeed by Kevin Lawrence himself. One of them even says he has a recording of threatening messages from Lawrence himself. Fancy that. The end result was that I fought; then ran. I would not stand idly by while they attempted to use the legal system to thwart the discussion of factual information. Perhaps this will serve to help certain people understand my harsh feelings toward the defendants.

I'd like to clarify that I am not married to T4Y nor am I a "Jane Doe" , hehe I am also not am ex-employee of any of these so called, HMC/Znetix company's. Bottom line is Kevin Lawrence is such a fucking idiot that while he was trying to sue T4Y and myself, he was also bragging about the Znetix IPO, Numerous properties, and showing me his latest and greatest car (yes, showing me personally) Some visionary genius. Doesn't even have a clue who he is talking to most of the time. If anyone ever talked directly to him they know, he sounds just like a broken record.
