Liar Liar (Pedras/MGB) vs. Proven Performer (Gold Buy/Sell)

Liar Liar (Pedras/MGB) vs. Proven Performer (Gold Buy/Sell)

This was triggered by an email that I received. You’ll find it right above the signature file.

I would not encourage anyone to do business with MGB. They slashed their rates up to 75% May 13th. They charge a 50% of principal early withdrawal fee, they don’t use an attorney paymaster, they don’t have a disbursement schedule, the CEO is a hothead with a violent temper. I’m publishing an article discrediting him this week.

This is the rough draft that I sent Mr. Pedras this week. He did not reply:
There are a number of material misrepresentations and outright lies in what Dan Garfinkel wrote.
You stated on five live calls that you would not allow anyone to go around me. You took my ideas, my clients, my efforts, my referral partners and did the direct opposite of what you said.
This is your opportunity to make things right, Chris.
You owe me almost $75,000 in commissions. I demand payment. Stop screwing around and pay me.
I’ve been nice up until now but you’ve put my back against the wall and things will get ugly if you don’t take care of your obligation to me and my family.
I’m prepared to send this out. It’s a rough draft but I have the comments ready for Dan’s lies. I left a message for Dan but he has not returned my call.:

Thank you for your email requesting information about Maxum Gold Bank Limited and Chris Pedras.
We have checked the website of Maxum Gold Bnk Limited at http://maxumgoldbnk.com.  We note that this website has a number of spelling and grammar errors, contains untrue statements (as discussed below), and the “contact us” page provides only an email address.
The “disclaimers” page of the website states  “Maxum Gold Bnk Holdings Limited ; is an Escrow Fiduciary under Federal Regulations contained with the New Zealand Companies Act of 2010.”  There is no New Zealand Companies Act 2010 and an Escrow Fiduciary is not a legal entity under New Zealand companies law.  The “about us” page of the website contains references to the New Zealand Federal Reserve Bank System and the New Zealand Securities Exchange Commission, which do not exist, and to federal oversight and auditing when New Zealand is not a federation.
We attach Companies Office records for Maxum Gold Bnk Limited, which show that the company was incorporated on 23 July 2010.  Antone Thomas Pedras is listed as the sole shareholder and director and has provided an address in California.  The New Zealand address of Maxum Gold Bnk Limited appears to be an adviser’s office.  We are not aware that Maxum Gold Bnk Limited has any physical presence in New Zealand.
In any event, registration of a company with the New Zealand Companies Office simply records the basic incorporation details about a company and does not ensure that a company is meeting its legal requirements nor does it indicate the success of a company’s activities.  The Companies Office register can be searched free of charge at www.business.govt.nz/companies.   
Here’s what I found when I went there: JTP:

There are a number of typo’s, grammar, and other errors in what Dan wrote. Dan came to me. I introduced him to Pedras January 9, 2011.

Pedras stated on five live recorded conference calls that he would not allow anyone to circumvent me but that’s exactly what he’s done on multiple occasions.

Subject: [Ann] Unique Opportunity To Hear and Speak Live To A Genuine
Licensed Trader – RSVP Tomorrow Wednesday August 24 @ 8pm Eastern Time

Dear Clients, Colleagues and Associates,

Has the worldwide economic chaos got your worried !

The stock market, commodoties, the bond market, futures and most traditional
retail trading opportunities are all down  !

Is your Investment Portfolio losing funds with each new day !

What if you can dedicate a portion of your investment funds to a Non-Market
Driven

investment that is not affected by the worldwide global ecnonomic recession Let’s see: rates were slashed by as much as 75% May 13, 2011 by Maxum so how is this not effected?

What if your  principle invested funds are never traded and protected the
entire time

you participate  ! How? 

The “disclaimers” page of the website states  “Maxum Gold Bnk Holdings Limited ; is an Escrow Fiduciary under Federal Regulations contained with the New Zealand Companies Act of 2010.”  There is no New Zealand Companies Act 2010 and an Escrow Fiduciary is not a legal entity under New Zealand companies law.  
What if you can make a steady fixed return for 12 – 24 months ! There’s no disbursement schedule so what assurance does a client have that Chris will do what he says especially after he lied and stole from me? And what about my client that wanted to make an early withdrawal and the penalty was 50% of principal?

Would this be something of interest to you  ?!!

If your answer is yes,  then join us this week on Wednesday August 24th @
8pm Eastern
for a rare and unique opportunity to speak to a trader live  !

Chris is NOT a licensed trader. 

Our small cap trader is extending another opportunity to participate join
him in a webinar for those who could not participate in the recent webinar.

Stealing my ideas. He’s not a trader.

The trader understands many people in this business have only encountered
non-performers and scam
artists or have unfortunately lost money.  Therefore,  the trader is going
out of normal the protocol
to require client’s to submit their proof of funds before he even speaks to
them.  Once again you and
your clients will have the opportunity to speak to a genuine licensed trader
who has been successful
for 23 years.  He has never failed to produce the returns of a client’s
trade contract and has never
lost any of his client’s principle funds either.  He has many layers of
security in place for the protection
and prevention to loss of client’s principle funds.

Where’s the license? Where’s the 23 year history?  
Here’s what I found when I went there: JTP:
MAXUM GOLD BNK LIMITED (3037584) Registered NZ Limited Company 

1st Floor, 178 Hibiscus Coast Highway, Red Beach, Auckland, 0932, New Zealand
Incorporation Date:

Incorporation Date:
MAXUM GOLD BNK PCPT LIMITED (3037564) Registered NZ Limited Company 

1st Floor, 178 Hibiscus Coast Highway, Red Beach, Auckland, 0932, New Zealand
Incorporation Date:
The trader is still in the United States.  He is currently in Texas and has
been doing face-to-face meetings
for the past two weeks.  These meetings were  setup by his registered
agencies and agents who work for
them.  For intermediaries and principle clients who are too far away to
participate in person he has
utilized web conferencing technology to allow you to participate from remote
locations.  The trader is on
a push to support his agencies and agents.
He lives in Turlock CA  I’m the one that started the conference calls. Chris was initially reluctant to get on the calls and made a numbr of statements that later proved false. I have the five recordings posted on our http://www.joetufo.com/blog website.

At the end of August he will be returning home to his office and main
residence in New Zealand.
Therefore,   this is probably one of your last opportunities to hear and
speak with the trader.

He has “no owned residence” and is not “home” in New Zealand. It’s certainly not the “last opportunity to speak with “the trader.”
As the old saying goes get the trader while the iron is hot  !

Do not let this opportunity slip by.  If you are an intermediary and have
principle clients or other associates
with clients I urge to make sure you both your associates and principle
clients on this webinar too  !

The call will take place next Wednesday August 24 @ 8pm Eastern Time.

Please RSVP with your name, company name if applicable, full contact info as
well as any associates
and clients you will be bringing onto the call with you.  We register
everyone in our database so
everyone is compensated properly.

This trader specializes in Non-Market Driven Managed Buy/Sell trade programs
for clients
with $5k – $ 50 million US Dollars.

I have five live recordings with Chris doubting whether clients are real much above $300,000.  

Best regards,

Dan Garfinkel
