SUCCESS STORIES:

Since July of 08, Eagle has been assigned a Federal Agent through which all our research of suspicious companies are submitted.  We in turn assist our assigned agent with his investigations when requested.  In October of 09, Eagle was contacted by another Federal Agent from another agency to assist with two International cases.  Eagle, in conjunction with our many volunteers, has been able to provide the research resulting in these actions being taken.  Through this working relationship, and our assigned agents, Eagle has aided in the shut-down of the following companies:

 

INETGLOBAL/ADPACS:

Eagle began providing information on AdPacs/Steve Renner to our assigned agent in late 08.  AdPacs later changed its name to INetGlobal.  In late November of 09, we provided additional information upon request regarding INetGlobal and Mr. Steve Renner.  This information combined with the information provided by the former CEO, Steve Keough, and other information led to the U.S. Secret Service raiding the offices of INetGlobal in February, 2010 and shutting it down.   The U.S. Secret Service said there was probable cause to believe he was operating an International Ponzi scheme through INetGlobal and affiliated companies.  Federal prosecutors have seized about $26 million in their probe into INetGlobal’s business practices.  Renner has not yet been charged in the case, which prosecutors described as a “major” money-laundering investigation. The investigation is ongoing.


Mr. Renner was convicted in December of four felony counts of tax evasion after a six-day jury trial.  The case stemmed from his operation of Cash Cards International (CCI), a payment processing company.  Renner was sentenced May 5, 2010 to 18 months in federal prison for income-tax evasion, and also ordered by U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank to cooperate with the IRS “in the assessment and payment of taxes still due,” federal prosecutors said.  Mr. Renner began his prison sentence June 15, 2010.


AFFILIATE STRATEGIES INC.
LANDMARK PUBLISHING GROUP
(GRANT FUNDING INSTITUTE, G.F. INSTITUTE)
GRANT WRITERS INSTITUTE, LLC
ANSWER CUSTOMERS, LLC
APEX HOLDINGS, LLC
REAL ESTATE BUYERS NETWORK
GRANT WRITERS RESEARCH NETWORK

 

Eagle provided information on the above named companies and participants to our assigned agent.  Working in conjunction with the Secret Service, the FTC and local law enforcement, the companies were shut down, and civil charges have been filed by the FTC and three State Attorneys General.  The above referenced companies were owned by Brett Blackman and his business partners. 

 

U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson froze the assets of the companies — Affiliate Strategies, Inc.; Landmark Publishing; Grant Writers Institute; Answer Customers and Apex Holdings.  The FTC, jointly with the Attorneys General of Kansas, Minnesota, and North Carolina, filed civil charges against the companies and Brett Blackman, Jordan Sevy, James Rulison, Martin Nossov, and Alicia Nossov.
 
Judge Robinson has also ruled all assets of these and another Brett Blackman company, Noobing.com, whose assets were moved offshore be returned to the court appointed receiver Larry Cook.  Mr. Cook has been charged with the responsibility of liquidating all the assets into cash, and returning as much cash per victim as possible.

 

Regenesis2x2:

Eagle provided our research information on Regenesis2x2 to our assigned agent. On July 17, 09, the Secret Service raided the home, searched a car,  P.O. Box, and the company office of Regenesis2x2.  While the company has been shut down, no charges have been filed at this time; but the investigation is ongoing.  The Secret Service labeled Regenesis2x2 as the Classic Ponzi Scheme.

 

ASD CASH GENERATOR/EL FUENTE DINERO/GOLDEN PANDA:

A caller, during one of Eagle’s appearances on the Frank Pastore radio show (KKLA-FM, 99.5), brought ASD to our attention.  During our initial review, Eagle discovered the Florida Attorneys General Office and Secret Service had recently opened an investigation into ASD’s operations.  Separately, and in co-operation with like-minded individuals, information was developed, corroborated and forwarded to the investigating agencies. Eagle researched and provided additional information at the request of both authorities.  The U.S. Secret Service raided ASD. La Fuente Dinero, and Golden Panda in August of 2008 freezing all bank accounts of Andy Bowdoin/DBA ASD, and Golden Panda. Eagle is grateful to those individuals who shared their original research.
