BCSC FALSEHOODS AND LIES - SHOULD OF KILLED US YEARS AGO - IF WE DISAPEAR HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR ANY OTHER MISFORTUNE IT WONT LOOK GOOD FOR THE BCSC

BCSC Falsehoods and Lies.

The following statement was released by the BCSC on Dec 28 as part of a BCSC press release issued in the Kelowna Daily Courier in regards to the U-Go Brand/Spyru case.

“Harris, Cire, Burke and Kwasnek have been ordered to pay $636,000 to the BCSC. That’s the amount they obtained as a result of their misconduct in relation to U-GO.”

Once again the BCSC insists on printing statements about the respondents it knows are false and misleading for the public's consumption. The statement made here would lead the average lay person to believe we committed fraud and profited from ill gotten gains. The BCSC knows damn well this isn't true yet it perpetuates falsehoods in regards to the respondents all the time.

Does the BCSC really think itself to be above the law?

Does the BCSC realize that it is digging its own grave?

Does the BCSC not realize if it does not come to the table immediately it will be destroyed completely?

Every time the BCSC manipulates the truth to try and spin it for its own devious purposes it simply gives us more bullets to load up with?

The BCSC insists our refusal to be regulated is a danger to the integrity of the markets. What about BCSC perjury, tampering, extortion?? Does this keep the markets safe? We are simply standing up for our civil and human rights.

Does the BCSC really think it it cover the truth?? The truth is bursting at the seams and you try and hold it in but the thing is the harder you squeeze the easier it will slip out of your grasp.

Look around your comfy office tower, look outside.. Do you really think you know everything going on? Do you think you have control?? If you do.. enjoy it while it lasts.

Do you realize that we have barely started to fight back?

Does the BCSC think it can make us disappear?

By the way I have more photos of your 'friend's .. do you think I'm intimidated?

 

I know what its like to be watched by some thugs.. Do you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time to deal with us. The alternate option is that the BCSC will be destroyed and if you think its all good because you will just go work with the new national regulator think again. We will ensure this does not happen. We have enough evidence to destroy any credibility a new regulatory agency has so think very carefully about what it is you find important before you continue. This is not a threat its a promise.

How was 2015? Did you have a good year? I hope you did because we are going to make your next years a living hell if the BCSC does not immediately settle with the respondents. Promise.

Do you think you can make us go away? I have evidence that the cops don't have, you don't have it either. If we disappear they get it all and you all start facing far more prison time then you already are.

Sincerely

Christopher Burke

Mr. Harris,

You are entirely welcome to attend the Hearing Management Conference on October 31st. In fact, it is staff’s position you should all come and represent yourself. As I have previously advised you, the position of the Commission is that Mr. Harris should not be representing any of you and that you should either act on your own behalf or hire counsel.

Exhibit: SM00075 - SP-181 RESPONSE IS NOT REQUIERED Subject: Unlawful Freezing of Trust Accounts Mr. John and Diane Thibert British Columbia Securities Commission



Mr. James K. Torrance,

Senior Litigation Counsel

Mr. Torrance,

We refer to Ms. Mitchell-Banks below message and it’s beyond comprehension why Ms. Mitchell-Banks keeps sending email messages to Mr. John Thibert affirming that Mrs. Diane Thibert’s trust account was never frozen by the Commission.

As per the attached letter from TD Waterhouse dated October 17, 2014, it clearly confirms Diane Thibert’s account was order frozen on February 6, 2014. This was not an error on the part of TD Waterhouse as implied by the Commission, otherwise TD Waterhouse would have immediately unfrozen Diane Thibert’s trust account.

In fact when Mr. Blair Payton of TD Waterhouse received a copy of the order to freeze Diane Thibert’s account and the Thibert’s joint account, Mr. Payton call Lindsey Donders to question the legality of the frees order, Mr. Payton’s phone conversation with Ms. Donders was terminated quickly as she hung-up the phone.

In addition, we did receive a message from the Commission that the freezing of the Thibert’s joint trust account was a computer glitch and was subsequently lifted on February 13, 2014. This does not absolve the Commission from an unlawful and negligent action.

TD Waterhouse is an established Canadian financial institution and why on earth would they make false statements to the Commission?

The repudiation on the part of the Commission investigative staff, clearly shows tunnel vision and unwillingness to accept new evidence.

Respectfully,

Peter D. Harris

BRITISH COLUMBIA SECURITIES COMMISSION Mr. James K. Torrance



Senior Litigation Counsel

Mr. Torrance,

How can Ms. Mitchell-Banks advise us to retain legal counsel when she knows very well we have run out of money?

Not only that, we have spent in excess of $150,000.00 in legal fees in our case and we have nothing to show for it.

Facing very significant penalties

This is a very strong statement to make when we are the ones that contacted the Commission for help, not knowing that we would later be set-up and become accused. All of the allegations brought forth against our Group by the Commission, we have proven that the accusations have no merit. The only offence we are guilty of is badly administrating SPYru Inc. as Sales Agents.

As for the accusation pertaining to errors on the U-GO Brands subscription agreements relating to the miss classification of investors, this is a questionable issue as investors do not have to, or refuse to disclose personal finances information when signing the subscription agreement, this is validated by the VCMA as a serious discriminatory issue.

We find Ms. Mitchell-Banks above statement to be inflammatory, intimidating and daunting. This kind of statement coming from an Officer of the Court is unbecoming as an attorney and is totally non-ethical to attempt to scare people into submission.

You should all make sure you have competent legal advice

This statement is arrogant and again, totally unethical on the part of a civil servant.

Mr. Torrance, please understand we are not trying to defy authority, but we will defend ourselves against the Commission’s uncalled for abuses, torments, bullying and slanderous accusations on the Commission website.

With respect to your requests for copies of the Investor Impact Statements, these questionnaires are regularly sent out after the Notice of Hearing is published and are only tendered into evidence if there is a finding of liability and the matter proceeds to a sanction hearing. Staff for the Executive Director will comply with their disclosure obligations at an appropriate time and in an appropriate manner.

Again, staff for the Executive Director will not be responding to your emails. All correspondence will take place through me. This is a regrettable necessity which your previous correspondence has brought about.

I write to make you aware that the staff for the Executive Director will be opposing Mr. Harris representing you at the Hearing. With all due respect, your email makes no legal sense whatsoever. I have given a brief explanation below as to why your email is founded on a grave misunderstanding of the law. I strongly suggest that you take your email (and my response to it) to a lawyer and get some preliminary advice.

The Charter or Rights under 10 of the Charter of Rights (I note you cite b and c) reads as follows: T h e Ho n o u r a b l e Wa l l y Op p a l , QC . B o u g h t o n L aw Ema i l me s s a g e e x c h a n g e b e twe e n B C S C a n d E c h o P a r t n e r s L t d . Oc t o b e r 2 8 , 2 0 1 4 t o Oc t o b e r 23, 2 0 1 4

Everyone has the right on arrest or detention

(a) To be informed promptly of the reasons therefor;

(b) To retain and instruct counsel without delay and to be informed of that right; and

(c) To have the validity of the detention determined by way of habeas corpus and to be released if the detention is not valid.



The bold and the underlining are mine. If you read the section you are quoting you will see that it does not apply to you. You are not under arrest or detention. The meaning of the word counsel is defined in the case law as meaning a lawyer. Mr. Harris is not a lawyer. The commission does not have the jurisdiction to hold a habeas corpus hearing and you are not detained in any event so no court would grant you a habeas corpus hearing. In short, s. 10 has no application to the case at hand.

Similarly, your insistence on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and what you call the ‘Great Writ (Habeas Corpus) are both equally inapplicable to your present case before the BCSC.

The allegations against you and your fellow respondents are serious. You should realize that if you are found liable by the Commission, staff will be seeking very significant penalties against you. Please get some legal advice from someone competent to give it to you. Legal advice may seem expensive but it will not be as expensive as going without it. If you have a defence you should lead it. Talk to a lawyer.

On 28/10/2014 3:38 PM, Christopher Burke wrote:

Ms. Banks,

Thank you for the clarification that you are NOT a Supreme Court and BCSC has no such jurisdiction to proceed in such a manner. This means however that as the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the highest law in the land that all other laws, bylaws and acts both civil and criminal must fall within these guidelines unless a specific act of CANADIAN Parliament States otherwise.

Thus the BCSC under the Securities Act must operate within the confines of the law. BC Supreme Court Civil Rules allow me the right to choose any person I deem to speak and act on my behalf. The Canadian Bill of Rights again allows me to choose any party as I see fit to represent myself. T h e Ho n o u r a b l e Wa l l y Op p a l , QC .

Essentially if you are saying that your court does not have the authority regarding previously mentioned law then certainly your court being lesser then the Supreme Court of Canada and British Columbia does not have the right nor authority to tell me who may or may not represent me. Since I have no money for a lawyer and BCSC approved lawyers have no interest in justice in the first place and can clearly be seen as in collusion with the commission (Hence the instance upon one) I authorize Peter D Harris to speak on my behalf in all matters pertaining to the BCSC.

Power of Attorney documents will be produced to affirm said notion. And for the record an email IS now considered a legal document I may use as valid proof in a court of law.

BILLION DOLLAR LAW SUITE

Our $1.05 Billion Dollar law suite filed against the BCSC in an attempt to bring them to the table.
We never intended to go ahead with the suite as a Billion dollars is an obscene amount, we simply want what we are owed. The case against U-GO Brands Inc. never should have existed.
As of early 2015 our lost revenues would be $11.4 Million dollars in addition we wanted an extra
%15 for the shareholders whom the BCSC is currently screwing.
 Today the number stands much closer to $20 Million dollars.

Seeking

Exemplary and Punitive Damages for $1.005 Billion Dollars

Dear Honorable Ms. Anton,

I’m contacting you again in regards to our ongoing quandary with the BCSC and my letters addressed to you, dated February 20^th and February Feb 27, 2014 pertaining to our protest against the commission for mishandling our request for help from the BCSC to protect a viable and profitable company and its investors.

We have cooperated with the commission for the last ten months and we disbursed $130,000.00 in legal fees and we are no further ahead with the commission. We went from being paid each $20.00 to be witnesses and now we have unfounded and vindictive allegations brought forth by the commission and its employees to our investors.

As of about five weeks ago we terminated our legal counsel and we started to deal with the commission directly ourselves and after numerous letters to the commission opposing and questioning some of their action’s, the commission never replied to our letters other than replying with idle threats. It would seem the commission strongly objects when someone stands up to their abuses and as results of the last five weeks of our applying pressure on the commission, now the commission has become vindictive.

This is an agency filled with people that have very big egos and are out of touch with the real world, these employees show no empathy at all and that’s very dangerous.

It’s unfortunate that we find ourselves in this situation today, when all the commission and its employees had to do was grant us a meeting when we filed our complaint June 12, 2013. The commission and its employees never allowed us to exercise or freedom of expression and to be heard in a fair and impartial manner.

Ms. Anton, we have been dealing with the commission in a very transparent form and for this reason, I’m attaching the following documents for your review and assessment.

In closing, I hope and as we have always indicated to the commission and its employees we are prepare to work with the commission in a fair and impartial manner to protect our investors.

Respectfully,

Chain of Events Dealing with the BC Securities Commission

From June 2013 to February 2014


Dear Greg,

To assist you in the SPYru case, I’m providing you with a general overview and cronolized chain of events that occurred while dealing with the commission and our subsequent lawsuit against the commission for conducting a biased and un-lawful investigation against U-GO Brands and Echo Partners, including the slandering of our Directors.
Sole Reason for Contacting the Commission


As you know, we approached the commission as victims of Klaus Glusing and for this reason, we sought out the commission to help us transfer legally SPYru Inc. to Canada and save the SPYru resident investors from losing their investment. Over the next seven months from our initial contact with the commission, we fully co-operated and we voluntary turned over all of the documents requested by the commission.
HISTORY and CHAIN of EVENTS

Deception and Misleading Undertakings

William Ting, BCSC Investigator



On June 12, 2013 when I first made contact with Mr. Ting and without Mr. Ting asking, I voluntarily submitted on the same day, a 10 page "Statement of Facts" explaining our commercial activities with SPYru Inc. and Klaus Glusing going back to 2010, in this document we provided detailed information as to why we were seeking assistance from the commission.

Several days after my first contact with Mr. Ting, Lorne Cire and I requested that we travel at our own expense to Vancouver and meet with Mr. Ting to explain how we got defrauded by Klaus Glusing and why we were seeking their help before the commission rendered judgment and started an investigation.

After all, our case is unique, as the commission agreed, and we did voluntarily approach the commission for help; we never tried to avoid our responsibilities with the commission.

At the beginning, my dealings with Mr. Ting were very friendly, courteous and on a first name basis. After several weeks of numerous e-mail exchanges with Mr. Ting, answering all of his questions and fully co-operating, out of the blue, Mr. Ting indicated to me that I’m to no longer communicate with him and that I should retain a securities attorney.
After all this time, I was under the impression that Mr. Ting was asking for all of the information in order to sort out the matter in the attempt to help us protect the resident SPYru investors. In addition, Mr. Ting never confirmed or indicated to me on June 12th or at any later date that the commission has no jurisdiction or authority over the TCI’s and Klaus Glusing. Thus, the commission had no intention to help us in salvaging the resident investors from the very beginning. We only found out this information from Ms. Mitchell-Banks on February 14, 2014.




Retained Legal Services


When we approached the commission, we had no reason to believe that we had violated some of the BC Securities Act, thus we saw no reason to retain an attorney, since we could explain ourselves to the commission, which never happened.

On July 12, 2013 and on the advice of Mr. Ting, we retained the services of Farris Law in Vancouver. From July 2013 to January 2014 our Farris attorney had numerous phone conversations, e-mails and letters to and with Mr. Ting and commission litigators. As a result, our attorney asked that we send an additional 450 documents requested by the commission. In January 2014 the commission requested additional documents of which some of the documents requested had already been submitted to the commission. Ref erenc e: echo 0 47-08-06 -201 4

How long should an investigation last? It would seem to me after 11 months of investigating our case, the commission by now would have filed formal charges against us. Now the commission is saying: "Allegations have not yet been proven". That sounds to me like a weasel statement.

After seven months of having spent some $80K in legal fees, and realizing we were no further ahead with the commission for an early resolve, on January 29, 2014, we dismissed our attorney and decided to deal directly with the commission. Our decision was based the commission’s hearing manual clearly stating we could represent ourselves without an attorney present. We had no choice since we had run out of funds by then and we could not afford an attorney or travel to Vancouver.
No Longer Cooperating with the Commission

Abuse of Power and Intimidation



On the same day, January 29th we declared to the commission, we would no longer co-operate in the investigation and our reason was that after all of these months dealing with the commission it was obvious we would not receive a fair and impartial hearing and for this reason we wanted to appear in front of a Supreme Court Judge where we knew we would receive a fair and impartial hearing. It was very clear to us that the investigation was turning out to be vindictive and abusive.


By January 2014, we realized that by standing up to the commission’s allegations, the investigators retaliated by becoming biased, vindictive, and slanderous against our group. The investigators had no justifiable legal grounds to order a cease trade order against U-Go Brands and Echo Partners; this was a clear retaliatory move and abuse of power exercised on the part of the investigators.
Retained Investigating Firm

Klaus Glusing Background Check



We realized the commission was not going to help us, knowing the commission had contacted Klaus Glusing and based on Klaus Glusing’s letter, the commission came to the conclusion that Klaus Glusing had no involvement dealing directly with our resident investors and did not run the company.

Knowing the commission was negligent in its investigation of Mark and Klaus Glusing, we retained the services of Harbor Investigations of Vancouver. We provided the commission with exhibits that proved we sent messages to Klaus Glusing Ref erenc e: echo 0 47-08-06 -201 4

recommending we move SPYru Inc. from the TCI and register SPYru in Canada or the U.S.A.

We also provided proof to the commission that this was not Klaus Glusing’s first time being involved in misappropriation of funds. We supplied to the commission information from the Bermuda Supreme Court confirming three judgments against Klaus Glusing totaling approximately USD$4 Million.
The victims were Cast Lines, a CP Ships company, the second victim was Michael G. DeGroote, a recipient of the Order of Canada and a Canadian businessman and philanthropist from Hamilton, Ontario. The third victim was a land developer in Bermuda. Klaus Glusing left Bermuda and moved to Vancouver to avoid repaying any of these victims.

The commission did know about Klaus Glusing prior to our June 12th contact. Sometime in 2001, Klaus Glusing started a shipping Line in Vancouver called ValuShip. The commission accused Klaus Glusing of lying to investors, therefore, the commission was already aware of Klaus Glusing’s fraudulent history.




Micro Managing SPYru Inc.

Klaus Glusing



We sent to the commission numerous copies of e-mail messages from Klaus Glusing to Lorne Cire and myself instructing us on how to proceed on the day-to-day management of the company. Reading Klaus Glusing’s messages clearly shows that Klaus Glusing was in charge of SPYru Inc.


Lorne Cire and I were never officers of SPYru Inc.; Klaus Glusing was the majority shareholder after Mark Glusing’s passing-away and Klaus Glusing never disclosed to Lorne or myself the number of shares he personally held. After several months of working with SPYru Inc. and after Lorne Cire personally invested $5,000.00, Klaus Glusing gave us a combined 5 million shares and made us Directors with no voting rights.

Slanderous Accusations, Misconduct and Abuse of Power

Ms. Donders, BCSC Lead Investigator



My dealings with Ms. Donders were exactly the same as with the communication I had previously with Mr. Ting, courteous and on first name basis at first, thereafter, turning nasty on the part of Ms. Donders after several weeks.

I will site the following actions by Ms. Donders that we feel were out of line, illegal and clearly demonstrate abuse of power.
Known statement by Ms. Donders as follows:


1. Telling some of our investors we were an illegal company and dishonest Directors and that we were going to be banned forever involving securities trading in BC.

2. Contacting TD Waterhouse Head Office ordering the freezing of the personal trust accounts of John Thibert and Diane Thibert. Subsequently, when Blair Payton of TD Waterhouse, financial advisor to the Thiberts, Mr. Payton phoned Ms. Donders questioning her actions. Ms. Donders was dictatorial towards Mr. Payton and hung up the phone on him. These trust accounts had nothing to do with the SPYru case. Subsequently, after our strongly objecting to Ms. Donders actions, several weeks later the commission lifted the cease trade order against the two personal trust accounts. Ms. Donders’ reckless action caused Mr. Thibert to send her an aggressive e-mail message that was replied to by Ms. Mitchell-Banks advising Mr. Thibert the commission will no longer accept his messages and that he is to conform, otherwise the commission will inform the police to take action against him. As a result Mr. Thibert suffered a nervous breakdown and has been under physician’s care ever since.

3. Ms. Donders contacted Mr. Thibert’s personal physician, not requesting medical information, but demanding the information. Ms. Donders phone call was so forceful and demanding that the physician’s assistant was left upset and crying from the phone call. This kind of action on the part of a public servant is total unacceptable.

4. On another occasion Ms. Donders told one of our investors that the commission was taking us to court, when in fact it was a voluntary commission hearing she was referring to, and that we had already courteously replied that we would not attend.

Ms. Donders January 2014 Questioning Lorne Cire

Intimidation and Un-lawful questioning



The first Director to be interviewed by Ms. Donders was Lorne Cire in January 2014 in Vancouver at Lorne Cire’s own expense. The interview was more of an interrogation and our attorney never once raised an objection or intervened in Lorne Cire’s defense to any of the questioning by Ms. Donders. Some of the information requested by Ms. Donders was out of line and illegal to request.
Lorne Cire, RBC Cancelation of Corporate & Personal Accounts Including Credit Cards

Ms. Donders, BCSC Lead Investigator



If Ms. Donders was capable of making slanderous accusations against us to our investors, God knows what Ms. Donders told the Royal Bank about us.

All we know is that after Lorne Cire had a long and detailed phone conversation with the RBC investigator, several weeks later the RBC notified Lorne Cire that they had cancelled all of his accounts.

Lorne Cire had been with RBC for over 20 years as an exemplary client and with Ms. Donders involvement, Lorne Cire’s business relationship with the RBC was severed, the damage is done.

Also, Dr. Michael Kwasnek, U-GO Brands Treasurer, received a letter with no explanation why, indicating that RBC wished to have no future dealings with him. Dr. Kwasnek also had a long and respected relationship with RBC prior to Ms. Donders intervention.
Misleading Information, Constant Threatening and Abuse of Power

Ms. Teresa R. Mitchell-Banks QC – BCSC Enforcement and Corporate Finance Director

  Dealings with Ms. Mitchell-Banks were stressful. Ms. Mitchel-Banks demonstrated in her e-mail messages that she does not appreciate any one opposing or questioning the commission’s actions or authority and as a result if you review the exhibits you will see that my message exchanges with Ms. Mitchell-Banks were aggressive on both sides from time to time.

On one occasion Ms. Mitchel-Banks sent me three e-mails between Saturday and Sunday threatening me with contempt of court if I did not appear at the scheduled hearing. Once she realized I was not going to appear, she sent me an e-mail stating that, in fact the meeting was voluntary, and I did not in fact have to appear.

I even sent a personal message to Ms. Mitchell-Banks asking her to please be more understanding of our situation and that we were virtually without funds since we had paid approximately YTD $130,000.00 in legal fees to our attorneys and the commission. Ms. Mitchell-Banks totally ignored my passionate plea to be more understanding, show some compassion or try to work with us. Rather, she chose to be dictatorial and condescending towards us.

Finally, after dealing with Ms. Mitchell-Banks for some five to eight weeks and her going on vacation, I started to communicate with Mark L. Hilford, BCSC Manager, and Litigation.
Misleading Information, Constant Threats and Abuse of Power

Mr. Mark L. Hilford - BCSC Manager, Litigation



My message exchange with Mr. Hilford lasted two weeks and for the most part was aggressive on both sides. Mr. Hilford demonstrated the same negative and condescending attitude towards us and showed no compassion towards our situation.
Aggressive Message to Mr. Ting and Ms. Donders

Peter Harris and John Thibert



We know the commission will use my message and John Thibert’s to attempt to show the commissioners that we are not to be trusted and our behavior is not acceptable in the business world.

Our defense is that we have been treated like criminals from the start and we lost our tempers by retaliating with aggressive messages. Consequently, both John and myself, sent apology messages to both Ms. Donders and Mr. Ting. Ref erenc e: echo 0 47-08-06 -201 4

Consent to Appear in front of an investigator

Travel Expenses and Daily per Diem



The commission never indicated to us that they should cover our travel expenses to go to Vancouver, the only subsidy we received from the commission was a $20.00 witness daily per diem.

Had we known that our expenses would have been paid, we would have agreed to appear for individual questioning.

One of our reasons for declining to appear was we had no funds on hand to cover the travel expenses for all of our Directors. On many occasions, we made it very clear to Ms. Mitchell-Banks and Mr. Hilford that we had no funds to travel.

Once Ms. Mitchell-Banks returned to work we communicated for another several weeks and again things got aggressive and Ms. Mitchell-Banks instructed me that the commission will no longer accept my e-mail messages or phone calls. Mr. Mitchell-Banks made it very clear that we need to retain a Securities Attorney otherwise things are going to get worse for us.
Exemplary and Punitive Damages

Reckless Practice by the Commission



U-GO Brands and Echo Partners were formed in April 2014 and all U-GO Brands Subscription Agreements and other related documents were created and submitted to the commission by Farris Law. To date the commission has not contacted Farris Law to indicate U-GO Brands is in serious violation of the Securities Act.
Corporate and Product Restructuring



Due to the failure of SPYru, we have found ourselves having to recreate our flagship product from "SPYru Uberwater" that failed in the market place due to chemical content that consumers no longer wanted to purchase.

Realizing we had to create an all-natural product we formed a working alliance with John Stevens and SuperDrop. Our action plan was based on the undertaking of a new product launch to protect the resident investors, thus SuperDrop was created. Ref erenc e: echo 0 47-08-06 -201 4

In the meantime, while we were going through this metamorphosis and being defrauded by Klaus Glusing, we found ourselves publicly accused and slandered by the commission. In spite of all the negatives around us, we still managed to get SuperDrop introduced and well received by the National Retailers and Distributors, YTD, we have produced 85,000 bottles of SuperDrop.

Upon the order by the commission of our having to stand-down from the Noor Energy negotiation or any other negotiation involving securities, all five directors are losing the opportunity to reap earnings for the last three years of dedication, hard work, perseverance. Similarly, we are unable to protect our investors as SuperDrop can no longer move forward.

Please see next page demonstrating earning losses over the next five years. The projected revenues and number of stores are set conservatively versus actuals. Ref erenc e: echo 0 47-08-06 -201 4
