Convictions Against The Investment Bankers Who Defrauded Kai Patterson And His Company "AMBER Ready" Vindicate Mr. Patterson

Anastaios “Tommy” Belesis, President OF JTF
Anastaios “Tommy” Belesis owned the fastest rising investment bank called John Thomas Financial, stared in Oliver Stone’s move called Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps (See: https://bit.ly/3m1CfWE). Now, he and his business partner have been convicted of fraud against, the company Kai D. Patterson founded called AMBER Ready, other companies, and countless investors. On September 4, 2020, a final Order against John Thomas Capital Management Group, LLC, and George R. Jarkesy, Jr. was issued (See: https://bit.ly/31FcYKr) after the final order was issued against John Thomas Financial, Inc., and Mr. Belesis was issued (See: https://bit.ly/37iOry6 and shorturl.at/lKM58). The final rulings confirmed that Mr. Patterson, his company AMBER Ready and his companies investors were defrauded by both companies of John Thomas Financial, Mr. Belesis and Mr. Jarkesy, who were also found to have committed fraud in Radiant Oil & Gas, Inc., America West Resources, Inc., Liberty Silver Corp (See: https://bit.ly/2Hb7AHC), and their investors.  Mr. Belesis was staunchly critical of former President Barack Obama for the policies to prevent investment bank from defrauding investors, spoke on FOX News on many occasions to attack the former President while in office.

George R. Jarkesy
On September 14, 2009, Anastaios “Tommy” Belesis and George R. Jarkesy, Jr. orchestrated the firing of Mr. Patterson, who was the CEO, Founder, and creator of AMBER Ready’s missing child recovery mobile software application called AMBER Ready (See: https://bit.ly/3483AAp). Mr. Patterson refused to participate in a scheme to defraud his investors with Mr. Belesis and Mr. Jarkesy, and threatened to contact the authorities.  To implement the scheme that is outlined in the convictions against Mr. Belesis and Mr. Jarkesy, Mr. Patterson needed to be removed as the company's CEO.  Under the direction of Frank Del Vecchio (See: https://bit.ly/37qH9IK), Mr. Belesis and Mr. Jarkesy the company created a fake e-mail that included the mistyped e-mail address of Mr. Patterson to justify his termination by the company’s board of directors (See: https://bit.ly/2HeEvuO). After terminating Mr. Patterson, the company froze Mr. Patterson’s accounts, and drained the company of the balance of the over $18 million the company raised. John Thomas Financial, Inc., and John Thomas Capital Management Group, LLC under the direction of Mr. Belesis and Mr. Jarkesy issued themselves enough shares to manipulated the company’s stock and defraud the company’s investors. After Patterson’s termination, in December of 2009, the company also filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to allow its stock to publicly trade with the manipulated shares (See: https://bit.ly/3kd06Cp), but after being alerted by a whistleblower, the stock was blocked from trading by the SEC, and a series of federal investigations pursued. 

Kai D. Patterson
In an attempt to silence Mr. Patterson, Mr. Del Vecchio used his connections as the Fairview Police Chief to spearheaded a series of criminal prosecutions against Mr. Patterson that were eventually dismissed, but that left Mr. Patterson in financial ruin.   While attempting to form a new company, Mr. Patterson was forced to overcome a series of financial problem, and eviction proceedings while fighting the criminal proceedings that could have caused him to spend 42 years in prisons. Having frozen Mr. Patterson's accounts, Mr. Del Vecchio hoped that Mr. Patterson would be jailed until his trials, but Mr. Patterson was released on his own recognizance until the judges in each of the cases dismissed the charges, which took over five years.  A letter that was provided from the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) confirmed that Mr. Belesis had intended to have Mr. Patterson fired months before the documents fake e-mail with the mistyped e-mail address emerged.  The letter also confirmed that after Mr. Patterson's termination, Mr. Del Vecchio attempted to defraud the housing authority by requesting a $1.5 million check be issued for payment of an application that no longer existed after, Mr. Patterson's termination. 


Benjamin Kelsen, Esq.
Mr. Patterson says that his attorney, Benjamin Kelsen, Esq., was instrumental in getting the charges dismissed, and took the cases without being paid because he believed that he was innocent. “I went from being a successful entrepreneur who was running a the company that I created with millions of dollars in the bank to a being broke overnight, my accounts were frozen, and I was being called a dead beat because I could not pay my bills. I needed to borrow money from family members, the production company that is going to produce my series and friends just to survive. Thank God they mistyped my e-mail address in the fake e-mail and falsified affidavit that were created to falsely indictment.  Had that not happened, I don't think that anyone would have believed me over a police chief, and two successful investment bankers.  Although what I went through will make a great movie, it makes a horrible life. Many people didn't believe me initially, but with the dismissals of the charges against me, and the convictions against them, I feel vindicated.  Now I can start working on developing my new company's television series that I had to previously put on hold that will also help children.  The series also will enable me to compensate those who care and cared enough to help me during my time of need,” said Mr. Patterson in a recent interview. In March of 2020, Mr. Patterson executed a new television distribution deal for a television series called Project Child Support that he will be producing. The deal that was originally executed to pay Mr. Patterson and his company $65.5 million (See: https://bit.ly/3lUcc3E) is now worth $146.6 million before ratings increases and the series is distributed in Africa, which will be negotiated the first quarter of 2021.  His new company has received a $20 million loan commitment that will provide the initial funding to produce his new series to help children (See: shorturl.at/tBJMU).  He ways that it will take a few weeks to complete the requirements to implement daily COVID-19 testing for his entire staff, clients and production crews.


Frank Del Vecchio
In addition to being barred as a broker and required to shut down his investment bank, Thomas Belesis was ordered to pay $1,000,000 in fines. The Order issued on September 4, 2020 bars Mr. Jarkesy from the securities industry and requires he pay a combined total of $1,246,355, broken out as follows: (1) JCTM and Jarkesy to pay a penalty of $300,000 jointly and severally, and (2) JTCM and Jarkesy to disgorge $648,935.38 plus prejudgment interest of $297,419.81.  The disbarments of Mr. Belesis and Mr. Jarkesy will protect other investors and companies from being victimized by them (Disbarments: https://bit.ly/31qzBSB). Meanwhile, after to confessing to fraud in a deposition (See: https://bit.ly/3lXQprS), Mr. Del Vecchio retired as the Police Chief of Fairview that enables him to collect a pension (See: https://bit.ly/2FKH8UK), but is now the Communications Director of the Bergen County Police Department, where it was previously reported by former AMBER Ready employees that he has filed for bankruptcy to avoid losing his home in Ridgewood, New Jersey  and assets from the lawsuits by AMBER Ready’s investors and former employees.

Now that final orders have been issued by the U. S. Federal Government in 2017 against Mr. Belesis and John Thomas Financial, as well as recently against Mr. Jarkesy and John Thomas Management Group, AMBER Ready’s investors can take the necessary steps to recover their losses without the filing of appeals against the final orders to challenge their claims.  With the fraud convictions against Mr. Belesis, Mr. Jarkesy, and their companies, former President Obama gets the last laugh, because his policies rooted out the man who berated him and those policies to protect investors against people like Mr. Belesis and Mr. Jarkesy.  Coincidently, Mr. Patterson supported and attended President Obama's inauguration in 2009, and fate would have it that President Obama's policy would lead to the convictions against Mr. Belesis and Mr. Jarkesy that vindicated Mr. Patterson year later after the Obama Presidency.

The 28th Of December Marks The Anniversary Of The Dismissal Of The Federal Charge Against Kai Patterson

The Federal Government Dismissed The Charge Against Kai Patterson On December 28, 2016; Making Today The Anniversary Of The Dismissal

After having a 13 count indictment against him in Morris County dismissed in 2011 from a false complaint filed against him by Frank Del Vecchio, false charges were dismissed against Kai Patterson in Hackensack’s Municipal Court in 2013, and by the Federal Government in 2016. 

See Federal Dismissal: https://bit.ly/3688cF9  

Kai D. Patterson
A customer of TD BANK issued Patterson a bad check, where Patterson also banked at the time.  The check that was issued to Patterson was for $5,500, and to ensure the check was good, Patterson took the check to a TD Bank branch, and asked the teller if the TD Bank check was good before he deposited the check into his TD Bank account.  According the dismissal filed by Patterson’s attorney named Alexandria Stremler, Esq., the check was accepted by TD Bank, the $5,500 was deposited into Patterson’s account, Patterson purchased the services for the issuer of the bad check, and the check was retuned two days after Patterson paid for the serves for the check issuer.  Rather than file criminal charges against the issuer of the bad check, which is a crime, TD Bank filed criminal charges against Patterson.  The charge filed against Patterson alleged the recipients of bad checks commit crimes when the deposit them into their accounts, instead of the issuers of bad checks, which sounds absurd.  The representative of TD Bank, argued that Patterson was at fault instead of the issuer of the bad check.  Patterson, and his attorney argued that if unknowing recipients of bad checks commit crimes when they deposit them into their bank accounts, the court that was prosecuting him commits a crime every time they deposit a bad check that’s issued to them by a person paying a court fee.  Patterson and his attorney also argued that TD Bank was negligent for clearing the bad check of their customer and depositing the funds into Patterson’s account, which was also their customer.  Unlike checks deposited from a foreign bank, TD Bank had access to the issuer’s account and should have never cleared the check.  Patterson and his attorney also argued that TD Bank should have deducted the funds from their issuer’s account since the funds were used to pay for services that Patterson provided to the issuer of the bad check. The judge agreed with Patterson, and the charge against him was dismissed (See Court Documents: https://bit.ly/2Q8f4x0).    

It turns out the bad check was issued to Patterson and returned before Patterson’s 13 the count indictment against him by Morris County was dismissed.  TD Bank was aware of the indictment, because the representative of TD Bank tried to use the indictment against Patterson.  By the time the case was sent from Elmwood Park’s Municipal Court to the Bergen County Superior Court so the charge could be elevated to a state felony charge, Patterson’s 13 count indictment in Morris County was dismissed (See: https://bit.ly/2MFwZJg).  Bergen County refused to elevate the charge and returned them to Elmwood Park.  The case was transferred the South Hackensack, because Elmwood Park didn’t want to pursue the matter.  This is an example of how court system “piles on” charges when there is an existing criminal matter against a defendant.  Rather than filed charges against the issuer of the bad check, TD Bank felt they had a “slam dunk” against Kai Patterson, because he was facing a 13 count indictment at the time the check was returned.  Fortunately for Patterson, the false charges against him in Morris County were dismissed, the judge in the TD Bank case wasn’t biased by the prior dismissed charges, and judge thought TD Bank’s claims were absurd.  It took almost 2 years for the case to be dismissed, because TD Bank diligently pursued the matter, and Patterson doggedly pursued the dismissal.  “We live in a world where people let their implicit biases guide them instead of the circumstances and facts.  Individuals who belong to certain demographics are easier to prosecute than others, and the courts will wrongfully prosecute members of those demographics instead of those responsible for committing the crimes.  Look at the number of people cleared through the “Innocence Project” and demographic of those disproportionately wrongfully prosecuted and convicted,” said Patterson.  The Innocence Project has led the release of several innocent individuals prosecuted by our criminal justice system (See: https://bit.ly/356LGeF).   

Benjamin Kelsen, Esq.
The federal charges against Patterson were also dismissed in 2016, which is extremely rare because the federal conviction rate in the United States is 99.8% (See: https://bit.ly/2Q2uB14).  Although Patterson and Benjamin Kelsen, Esq., who was Patterson’s attorney in his federal case were able to provide proof that
Patterson was innocent in September of 2016, the dismissal was issued on the last business day of year on December 28, 2016.  “It was weird being on the wrong side of the federal criminal justice system, considering that I created technology to assist justice system in finding missing children with my AMBER Ready Application, I helped the U.S. Department of Justice prosecute Stevie A. Jordan (A.K.A. Stevie J) in 2014 (See: 
https://bit.ly/37mzdVx), and I served as a Lieutenant in the Marine Corps, where I took an oath to defend the constitution.  There was a time when I considered just ending my life, but with the support of so many friends, and knowing that I could prove my innocence, I didn’t.  I’m grateful to the Judge for dismissing this charge once he realized that I was innocent instead of scheduling a trial and leaving the matter up to 12 strangers.  Now that all of the pending legal matters are behind me, I have moved on with pursing my television series deal to help parents with child support dilemmas. I introduced AMBER Ready to the government at the municipal, county, state and federal levels, as well as trained agents how to use my concept and application to reduce sending out AMBER Alerts by up to 4-hours.  I also hosted joint events with government agents, where I received several endorsements (See: https://bit.ly/37jfxlu, https://bit.ly/2QzuXLY, https://bit.ly/2EYA6aX & https://bit.ly/39mhX4H).  I received a television deal that was initially contracted to pay me $65.5 million (https://bit.ly/2F0BNon). I recently received a new television deal that will pay me $146,601,000 for the first of two distributions of my television series, so I’m going to focus on reconstructing my life with my television initiative.  I have GOD to thank, because it was the mistyping of my e-mail address in the documents created have me wrongfully indicted in the Morris County (See: https://bit.ly/366UVwM), the dismissal of the Morris County indictments before the TD Bank court date, and a federal judge’s ability to see that I was innocent of the federal charge in the indictment that he dismissed that lead to dismissal of all 3 cases.” said Patterson.

Many of the endorsements were framed when I was an employee of AMBER Ready when Patterson was the CEO of the company, when the company had so much promise.  It has been more than 10 years the since drama began with AMBER Ready and Kai Patterson. He receives no compensation from the federal government for his concept, which is now their FBI Child Program (See: https://bit.ly/2MD1zmR).  It appears the final chapter of this drama has come to an end.  Frank Del Vecchio is no longer the Police Chief of the Fairview Police Department, AMBER Ready shutdown within a year after Patterson was no longer the CEO of the Company, John Thomas Financial was shutdown by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fraud they committed against Kai Patterson, AMBER Ready and other companies (See: https://bit.ly/2rxDvu2), and Kai Patterson’s legal problems are behind him.

Morris County Dismisses All 13 Counts Against Kai Patterson Who Was Wrongfully Facing 42 Years In Prison For Crimes He Did Not Commit

How Police Chief Frank Del Vecchio and John Thomas Financial Created Fake Documents to Have Kai Patterson Falsely Indicted, Before The Case Was Dismissed

UPDATE (December 31, 2017): Thomas Belesis Of John Thomas Financial Was Eventually Charged With Fraud By The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC Charge) And the Financial Industry Regulatory Authorities (FINRA Charges), But Frank Del Vecchio Was Never Charged Even Though He Also Committed Fraud (See: Why Most Police Are Not Charged).

Also See Federal Dismissal: https://bit.ly/3688cF9, And Story: https://bit.ly/2QBIgN7 

Frank Del Vecchio
On September 23, 2011, the Morris County Prosecutors dismissed all 13 counts of their indictment against Kai Patterson, after Patterson's attorney Benjamin Kelsen was able to provide overwhelming proof that Frank Del Vecchio, and Martha Perez provided false statements and evidence against Mr. Patterson. Both Patterson and his attorney were able to use the statements of several AMBER Ready employees, corporate filings, financial statements, bank records, e-mails and Frank Del Vecchio's deposition to convince the Morris County Prosecutors Office that Patterson was innocent of the charges. All of the charged filed in Bergen County by Frank Del Vecchio and John Thomas Financial against Patterson, were also previously dismissed (See: http://bit.ly/cCrKp8).

Kai D. Patterson
According to the documents provided by Patterson's attorney, Frank Del Vecchio and Martha Perez filed the false report against Patterson, after he refused to issue stock certificates to dilute the shareholders of AMBER Ready so that John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund could become the controlling shareholder of the company. Prior to Patterson being terminated as CEO of AMBER Ready, he was offered a consulting position and the position of Chief Technical Officer to step down as CEO by Frank Del Vecchio (See: Unsigned Resignation). Once Patterson refused the offer, documents mysteriously appeared that alleged Patterson committed fraud. The documents were certified by a private investigator named James O'Connor, who was hired by Del Vecchio after he became the CEO of AMBER Ready, and used in a police report filed by Frank Del Vecchio and Martha Perez. The documents contained an e-mail that was to have been sent by Patterson, but the e-mail address was mistyped in the documents falsified against Patterson. The documents were cut to appeared they had been shredded by a shredder in Patterson's office. Pictures of the cut documents were taken by James O'Connor, along with pictures of the shredder in Patterson's office, and were filed in a police report by Frank Del Vecchio.

Frank Del Vecchio's Fake Evidence
Patterson's attorney was able to prove the e-mail could not have been sent or received by Patterson' because the e-mail address was not Patterson's or anyone's e-mail address, because it was mistyped. Letters were provided by other former employees of the company that stated the shredder had been broken for several months. Pictures taken of the shredder also confirmed the shredder had a burnout condenser, which prevented the shredder from operating (See: Fake Evidence). In the police report filed against Patterson on September 11, 2009, Martha Perez stated that she found the fake wire form created to allege Patterson's guilt, but later said Patterson e-mailed it to her in the statements provided to the grand jury and the Morris County Prosecutors Office. 

Benjamin Kelsen, Esq.
Patterson's attorney was able to show that counts 1 through 10 of the indictment that alleged Patterson misappropriated funds was false by providing copies of his employment agreements. The employment agreements confirmed that Patterson was owed money when he was terminated. The employment agreement was consistent with the financial statements filed in the Company's registration statement. The statements showed that at no time did Patterson ever overpay himself and the statements provided by Frank Del Vecchio and Martha Perez to allege Patterson stole money from the company ware false. In the police report filed by Frank Del Vecchio on September 11, 2009, Del Vecchio stated that Patterson stole $800,000, which Patterson's attorney was also able to show was false using the company's financial statements filed in the registration statements on December 18, 2009 and February 8, 2010. Patterson's attorney also was able to provide documents that showed Martha Perez had provided the Morris County Prosecutors Office with financial statements that contained 15 accounting errors between March and September of 2009, and numerous errors in 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005. In the documents provided to the Morris County Prosecutors by Martha Perez, the errors alleged that Patterson overpaid himself, but documents filed by Del Vecchio and Perez in AMBER Ready's registration statement showed that Patterson paid himself in accordance with his employment agreements.

Frank Del Vecchio lied to the Morris Count Prosecutors Office by stating the Mr. Patterson overpaid himself to misappropriate funds, while knowing that Mr. Patterson had employment agreements and a bonus agreement that require Mr. Patterson to receive 6% of the funds raised by the company.  The agreement was a standing agreement that was never terminated, was executed at the time that Mr. Patterson was not the largest shareholder of the company, and was approved by the largest shareholder of the company at the time, although Mr. Del Vecchio represented that Mr. Patterson wasn't approved by the company's board of directors when it was approved more than two (2) years before Mr. Patterson hired Mr. Del Vecchio and appointed him to the board of directors (See: Patterson's Bonus Agreement).  At the time that Mr. Del Vecchio told the Morris County Prosecutor's Office that Mr. Patterson stole the funds that his employment and bones agreements authorized him to be pad, Mr. Del Vecchio was aware of the bonus agreement, but purposely withheld it from the Prosecutor.  

Ten (10) months prior to being falsely indicted, Mr. Del Vecchio attempted to have Mr. Patterson's bonus agreement terminated in a board of directors meeting.  Since the agreement was executed in July 2006, and all of the board members were appointed by Mr. Patterson in March of 2009, including Mr. Del Vecchio, the board felt that it not go back and retroactively terminate a prior employment bonus agreement that existed prior to their appointment as directors.  This issue and meeting was also verified by an the employee who took minutes at the meeting (See: Cella's Directors Meeting Account).  During the board meeting, board members voted to approve Mr. Patterson bonuses, and they called Attorney Mark Ross, who was AMBER Ready's attorney.  It was determined that if Mr. Patterson has a prior agreement that was issued prior to the board members' appointment, the board could not vote to allow or disallow salary and bonuses that accrued prior to their date of their appointment. The approval was rescinded by the board and directors and Mr. Patterson's existing agreement stood as it was already previously approved, and was not terminated.  "What was so ironic about Mr. Del Vecchio attempting to have my bonuses terminated after I gave him a $100,000 annual salary while he still maintained his current salary as a police chief, and bailed him out of loan for a $250,000 purchase of a cell phone store in Ridgewood, NJ that was failing by paying Mr. Del Vecchio a bonus of $50,000 per year to enable Mr. Del Vecchio to pay off the loan.  I raised over $18 million between 2007 and 2009 to enable me to pay him his salary, and his bonus without his help, because he was busy serving as a deputy police chief, and they he tried to have my bonus denied," says Patterson.  

Although Mr. Del Vecchio failed to disclose Mr. Patterson's 6% bonus to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office to make it appear that Mr. Patterson misappropriated funds to enable Mr. Patterson to be charged with fraud, Mr. Del Vecchio did disclose Mr. Patterson bonus in the S-1 Registration Statement and Amendments in Paragraph 15 on Page F-32, but he would not disclose the amount of the bonus while disclosing the numbers all other forms of Mr. Patterson's compensations.  Mr. Patterson's  knew that he could use is position in law enforcement to have Mr. Patterson indicated without anyone taking the time to research the disclosed bonus by Mr. Del Vecchio to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  "I wasn't even given the opportunity to appear before a grand jury which is customary in most indictments, because I could have easily provided the documents to verify I only paid myself a fraction of what I was owed, and was due over $300,000 in expense credits that I was prepared to provide as evidence before all 13 counts of the indictment were dismissed by the Morris County Prosecutors Office.  The credits were later confirmed to be over $320,000," says Patterson.

AMBER Ready had entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Patterson that absolved him of any wrongdoing in exchange for his resignation as a member of a board of directors and issued him stock as part of the settlement.  The settlement did not restrict Mr. Patterson from reproducing his own version of AMBER Ready, since the company was unable to produce another working mobile phone version of AMBER Ready II that was designed by Patterson.  After the agreement was executed, Mr. Del Vecchio still had Mr. Patterson indicted. "I was shocked, to be notified that I had been indicted, because I had entered into a settlement agreement and had my attorney provide me with an opinion letter that represented I had been observed of any claims, even though I knew that I had been falsely terminated (See: Attorney Letter).  I knew they had spent through the investment that i raised through John Thomas Financial, and they had no working mobile phone application.  I resigned because I knew their company was worthless after I worked ten years to build it into something great.  After being absolved, getting an attorney opinion confirmation of the settlement, and then getting indicted, I not only provided overwhelming evidence that I did not steal any money, but I also disclosed the fraud they had me indicted to hide," says Patterson.

Patterson's attorney was able to show that counts 11 and 12 of the indictment that alleged Patterson created and e-mailed Martha Perez a fake wire form were false, by showing that Patterson's correct e-mail address was kdp@amberready.com, not kap@amberalertsafety.com (See: Refute of Counts 11 & 12Johnson's E-Mail ConfirmationSchechter's E-Mail Confirmation, and Cella's E-Mail Confirmation). Patterson's attorney was also able to show the fake e-mail and wire transfer form that were alleged to have been shredded, could not have been shredded in the manner the photographs illustrated. Not only did the shredder shred documents thinner then the fake documents that were cut, but the shredder also shredded documents vertically and the feed slot was too narrow to shred documents horizontally. In order for any document to be shredded along a path of the horizontal text, the document would have been required to be placed in the shredder horizontally. But to make matter worse, the shredder did not work for more than 20 months before the fake documents were produced, because the condencer had burned out as shown in the photos (See: Fake Evidence In Shredder). According to the letter and affidavit provided by two former employees, the shredder had not worked for several months (See: Calla Exposes Del Vecchio's Investigator).  An former employee of the company stated in her affidavit that Patterson's shredder had not worked the entire time she was employed with the company and that she was tasked with shedding all of Mr. Patterson's documents (See: Cella Affidavit).

NYCHA $1.5 Million Announcement
Patterson's attorney was able to show that count 13 of the indictment, which alleged that Patterson setup a "copy cat" program to receive copies of Frank Del Vecchio's e-mails without authorization was false. He proved that Patterson was the CEO, President, Treasurer, Secretary and a Director of the Company when the "copy cat" program was installed. Patterson's attorney was also able to show the "copy cat" program was installed to prevent the misuse of the company's e-mail accounts. The "copy cat" program began sending Patterson e-mails on September 9, 2009, which was several days before Patterson was terminated as CEO. Once Patterson was terminated as CEO, Patterson retained the titles of President, Secretary and Treasurer because Frank Del Vecchio failed to amend the articles of incorporation until March 15, 2010 (See: Registered Filing Dates). Patterson also remained on the Board of Directors as a Director until March 26, 2010, thus entitling him to receive copies of all e-mails of company executives. The "copy cat" program installed by Patterson enable him to monitor the fraud committed by Frank Del Vecchio, Martha Perez, and other board members. Copies of the e-mails that Patterson received from the "copy cat" program enabled Patterson to prevent the New York City Housing Authority from being defrauded $1.5 million, Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (FLEOA) and the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) by AMBER Ready. In January of 2011, Patterson received a letter from the New York City Housing Authority, thanking him for his actions (See: 
NYCHA Thank You Letter). 

Patterson Receiving NOBLE Award
Patterson was told by his attorney the Morris County Prosecutors Office agreed to dismiss all of the counts of the indictment if Patterson agreed to pay a fine for announcing himself on a conference call that AMBER Ready's Board of Directors secretly held on September 24, 2009. Patterson was legally allowed to participate on the call since he was a director, and the company's by-laws required all directors to be notified for telephonic conference calls, but Patterson was not notified to participate on the call. Patterson learned of the conference call when he received Frank Del Vecchio's e-mails from the "copy cat" program he created. The conference call was setup to discuss how to remove Patterson form the company Board of Directors (See: E-Mail To Setup Fraud Conference Call
). Patterson called in 15 minutes before the call was scheduled and took notes of the conversations. According to Patterson's notes, Frank Del Vecchio stated that he intended to have charges filed against Patterson to destroy his reputation and credibility. Frank Del Vecchio agreed to not file the registration statement until after November 30, 2009, to allow enough penalty shares to be issued to John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund to obtain control of the company. It was noted on the call that being the majority shareholder would not entitle Patterson to be fired as a director, as was indicated by an e-mail that was sent to Frank Del Vecchio by James Turner prior to the call. The participants of the call agreed to go ahead and terminate Patterson from the Board of Directors once John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund and John Thomas Financial collectively owned 75% of the company stock, and force Patterson to fight the termination in court while fighting false criminal charges filed by Frank Del Vecchio. Patterson announced that he was listening on the call by sending each of the participants an e-mail that he was on the call to document the call and he as on the call. Patterson then orally announced that he was on the call and had recorded the entire call. Although Patterson was entitled to participate on the call and speak since he was a Board Member, the Morris County Prosecutors Office required Patterson pay a fine of $250 for announcing himself on the call. "It's a small fine that I should not have been required to pay, but it's less than one hours of legal fees I've been paying to have the indictment dismissed," says Patterson. 

Patterson prepared documents to outline the fraud AMBER Ready intended to commit from the conference call, and took the documents to Federal Authorities on September 30, 2009. While Patterson was filing a report, Martha Perez terminated Patterson's cell phone account that had been transferred to the company's account in August of 2009. Patterson attempted to have Sprint transfer the number back to his personal account, but Sprint refused to transfer the account, although Patterson had the account since October of 2006. AMBER Ready waited until December 18, 2009 to file its registration statement, which enabled John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund and John Thomas Financial to collectively own more than 27 million shares and 74.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the company (See: John Thomas Financial's Free Trading Shares). The shares were issued as penalty shares by Frank Del Vecchio and Martha Perez by using Patterson's scanned signature on the certificates without his authorization. Patterson sent Frank Del Vecchio a letter on September 18, 2009 demanding his signature not be used without his written authorization when he learned his signature was placed on the first issuance of the penalty shares stock certificates (See: Unauthorized Used Of Kai's Signature). Between September 18, 2009 and April 1, 2009, an estimated 641 stock certificates were issued with Patterson's scanned signature without his authorization. "They were so sloppy in using my scanned unauthorized signature, because they sent me a stock certificate to settle our civil dispute and for my resignation on March 26, 2010 with my own unauthorized signature," says Patterson (See: Certificate Issued With Kai's Unauthorized Signature). AMBER Ready filed an amendment to the articles of incorporation to move Patterson as President, Secretary and Treasurer on March 15, 2010, and Patterson resigned from the Board of Directors on March 26, 2010, yet Patterson signature was used on his stock certificate issued on April 1, 2010. 

When Patterson was able to confirm the illegal uses of his signature to defraud the AMBER Ready investors, he filed charges with the Rockaway Police Department, and the Morris County Prosecutors Office. Although Patterson had definitive proof that his signature was used without his authority to commit fraud, and Frank Del Vecchio forced employees to defraud consumers, the Morris County Prosecutors Office failed to take any actions. "I was told by the Prosecutor Office they were not going to take any actions against Mr. Del Vecchio or Mrs. Perez for forging my signature, yet they issued a 13 count indictment against me for crimes I did not commit; where was the justice," says Patterson. The case was switched back and forth between two Assistant Prosecutors for more than 15 months, once they learned Patterson was innocent of the counts. Patterson's attorney requested the shredder be provided by the Morris County Prosecutors Office to confirm it had a burned out condenser and did not work, but the shredder mysteriously vanished (See: Burned Out Condenser
).

When Patterson was indicted, he was never given the opportunity to testify in front of the Grand jury, which would have enabled him to expose the false evidence and fraud committed against him. It appears that Frank Del Vecchio was provided with a favor by having and indictment issued on his testimony by the Morris County Prosecutor's Office.  Not only did the Morris County Prosecutor's Office not carefully examine the documents provided by Mr. Del Vecchio, they never took the time to compare the e-mail address used in the fake documents with Mr. Patterson's e-mail address.  The Morris County Prosecutor's Office also charged Patterson for dialing into an AMBER Ready conference call.  The conference call was held for AMBER Ready's Board of Directors, which Patterson was a member at the time of the call.  The call was scheduled by members of AMBER Ready's Board of Directors, and Thomas Belesis of John Thomas Financial to develop a plan to terminate Patterson from AMBER Ready's Board of Directors.  Patterson learned of the call from a program he created while he was the CEO of AMBER Ready to monitor the employees e-mails.  When Patterson was terminated the program continued sending him copies of several employees e-mails.  Unaware of the program sending copies of their e-mails to Patterson, Frank Del Vecchio, Thomas Belesis and James O'Connor transmitted numerous documents to confirm they defrauded AMBER Ready's shareholders, and attempted to defraud the New York City Housing Authority. 


Patterson's actions to participate and announce himself on the call was not a crime, but the Morris County Prosecutor's Office clearly had an agenda to cover up their error of indicting Patterson. Furthermore, had Patterson not listened in on the call, he may not have learned the intentions of the participates to defraud the shareholders by waiting until December 2009 to file the registration to receive millions of penalty shares. Patterson also may not have learned of Frank Del Vecchio's intent to file false charges against him. "Not only did I document the call and immediately turned the records over to authorities, but everything that I documented about the call eventually took place months later," says Patterson. Patterson's documents from the call confirmed the conspiracy by the parties on the call to defraud the AMBER Ready investors.  "I have been approached by producers to create a script to produce a movie about the story of AMBER Ready," says Patterson. Morris County's dismissal of the indictment comes one day before the two year anniversary to the date that Patterson learned of the fraud while on the conference call. "I have spent the last two years creating a new company that I believe will help solve a huge societal problem in America, and I am going to launch a press release to announce the company shortly," says Patterson. Patterson new company has been approved for a reality series to document the day-to-day activities of his new company and he has been donated office space for his new company. The new office space includes executive offices, several cubicles, computers and phones to spearhead the development of his new company. 

"I feel sorry for the AMBER Ready investors that have apparently lost their investment," says Patterson. After Patterson was forced out of the company that he spent ten years building, AMBER Ready shut down its operation after merging with CK-41. According to several former employees of AMBER Ready, Frank Del Vecchio sold the company's equipment to personally pay himself, while on the Fairview, New Jersey Police Department payroll. After Frank Del Vecchio contracted Shining Star Web Strategies to replace Blinglets, and Shining Star Web Strategies could not produce a working mobile phone application, AMBER Ready attempted to reengage Blinglets. AMBER Ready paid Blinglets $600,000 in a settlement, but Blinglets refused to enter into another agreement with AMBER Ready because they did not trust Frank Del Vecchio, according to Blinglets' President Anthony Phills. After Blinglets learned that Frank Del Vecchio forced the employees of AMBER Ready to lie, falsely sold the mobile phone application they no longer had, and filed false charges against Patterson, Blinglets did not want to have any further dealings with Mr. Del Vecchio or AMBER Ready.  This full affidavit provides an overview into some of the fraud Mr. Del Vecchio is accused of committing by a former employee (See: Cella Full Affidavit).

On August 5, 2011, the FBI announced they have launched their own child safety mobile phone application, which has makes it impossible for AMBER Ready to regroup if they ever could (See: http://engt.co/pF9ufD and http://cbsn.ws/2EBbR0U). The FBI's application is free of charge to parents and links directly into the 911 emergency response network. Patterson first introduced the AMBER Ready concept to FLEOA at a training session in June of 2009 (See: http://prn.to/2Cw1NZa and http://bit.ly/2iALq1H) and other members of the FBI at the 21st Annual Crimes Against Children Conference at a presentation on August 17, 2009 (See: http://www.cacconference.org). One week after Patterson's second presentation of the AMBER Ready program to the FBI, documents were falsified by Frank Del Vecchio to arrange for Patterson to be terminated.

After Patterson's termination, AMBER Ready merged with CK-41, and formed Galaxy Media and Marketing Corp without disclosing the company no longer had a working mobile phone application. Gary Savage, who was the CEO of CK-41 and became the CEO of Galaxy Media and Marketing Corp, has shut down the company after learning the company investment banking agreement enabled John Thomas Financial to take control of the company. Gary Savage has filed a lawsuit against John Thomas Financial, John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund, Thomas Belesis and George Jarkesy for committing numerous acts of fraud against the company and numerous misrepresentations. In addition to the lawsuit filed by Gary Savage, FINRA has fined John Thomas Financial $275,000 for other acts of fraud, including misrepresenting commission fees to their clients (See: http://bit.ly/nmDENa).

In an attempt to help Frank Del Vecchio commit fraud, James O'Connor falsified the documents and provided a false certification to the Morris County Superior Court. Mr. O'Connor is a highly decorated private investigator that is a security consultant to the FOX News Channel and My 9 News in New Jersey. In 2004, James O'Connor received the National Merit Award from FBI Director Robert Mueller, among numerous awards between 2003 to 2006. Mr. O'Connor issued a false certification to the Morris County Superior Court that contained a mistyped e-mail address when the documents were falsified. Mr. O'Connor has now opened himself up to civil and criminal prosecution, since numerous acts of fraud were committed that are now being investigated by authorities. Mr. O'Connor's actions have now caused AMBER Ready's investors to lose more than 18 million dollars. Patterson spent more than 10 years building the company, and Mr. Del Vecchio took less than 10 months to lose the investors investment, when the company shut down while he was the CEO. AMBER Ready is the third company to fail under the management of Mr. Del Vecchio in less than 3 years (See: http://bit.ly/bvOKlD). 

James O'Connor's actions are an indication of the influence and power Frank Del Vecchio has to get people to commit fraud. Not only did several former AMBER Ready employees lie about the status of the company's mobile phone application after Patterson was terminated, but every Board Member singed the registration statements filed by the company except Kai Patterson and Robert Christie. Both the registration statement and the amendment filed by Frank Del Vecchio with the Securities and Exchange Commission contained numerous false statements, including lies about the mobile phone application and the company's enrollments. Mr. Del Vecchio also was able to convince Paul Kaufman, who is the attorney of the New Jersey Democratic Committee to join Galaxy Media and Marketing Corp's Board. Prior to Galaxy Media and Marketing Corp shutting down its operation, a private placement memorandum was filed which also contained false statements that were issued by Galaxy Media and Marketing Corp's Board Members, and CEO. 

Since this information was posted, John Thomas Financial was been charged with fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and FINRA, Frank Del Vecchio has stepped down as CEO, AMBER Ready's successor company Galaxy Media and Marketing Corp has Shutdown, and John Thomas Financial has shutdown. With the help of several former AMBER Ready employees, the more than 35 million shares Frank Del Vecchio issued to John Thomas Financial's hedge fund, which they intended to dump on the market at $10 per share, was prevented by the SEC. CNBC has also recently produced a television story called "Greed and Fraud" that exposed the fraud committed by John Thomas Financial, which was committed with the help of now Fairview Police Chief Frank Del Vecchio (http://bit.ly/1bd4FBq).

P.S.

Since this information was posted, John Thomas Financial was been charged with fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and FINRA (See: Fraud Charges), Frank Del Vecchio has stepped down as CEO, AMBER Ready's succor company Galaxy Media and Marketing Corp has Shutdown, and John Thomas Financial has shutdown. With the help of several former AMBER Ready employees, the more than 35 million shares Frank Del Vecchio issued to John Thomas Financial's hedge fund, which they intended to dump on the market at $10 per share, was prevented by the SEC. CNBC has also recently produced a television story called "Greed and Fraud" that exposed the fraud committed by John Thomas Financial, which was committed with the help of now Fairview Police Chief Frank Del Vecchio (See: NBC Fraud & Greed).

John Thomas Financial was eventually shutdown by U.S. Federal Authorities (See: Shutdown), and Mr. Belesis was stripped of his license to operate as a securities broker (See: FINRA Order).  Although Mr. Del Vecchio admitted to committing felony fraud, by admitting AMBER Ready had no mobile phone application while attempting to collect $1.5 million from the New York City Housing Authority, he was never charged with fraud. He also admitting to committing another felony when he lied in the 2009 registration statement and in the 2010 amendment  that he filed with the SEC by saying AMBER Ready had 4,000 subscription (See: Page 26 - Market Analysis, and  Page 28 - Market Analysis), then said AMBER Ready had 600 enrollments, but their staff members said the company had less than 300 enrollments, and their financials filed in the registration statement.  Since Mr. Del Vecchio was a police chief, and it's been confirmed in a House Judiciary Hearing before Congress that federal and state agencies will not prosecute police officers who commit crimes, and agents will testify on behalf of police officers who commit crimes (Video: Congressional Hearing) under the Blue Wall Of Silence, it's very unlikely he will ever be charged.
