AMBER Ready Settles Its Blinglets Lawsuit, And Shuts Down The AMBER Ready Program After Committing Fraud.

The Blinglets Settlement Releases Kai Patterson from the Fraud Committed by Frank Del Vecchio.

Frank Del Vecchio
After more than a year in litigation, AMBER Ready settled its lawsuit with Blinglets by agreeing to pay Blinglets $650,000, which will be paid from the company's liability insurance policy (See: http://bit.ly/coFjJF and http://bit.ly/dBy1vh). As a term and condition of the settlement, AMBER Ready also agreed to give Blinglets 50,000 shares of its company's stock. Perhaps Galaxy Media and Marketing believes its stock will someday publically trade on the stock market and offered it to Blinglets as part of the settlement. Although Kai Patterson was named as a defendant in the litigation, the lawsuit proved to be beneficial for Mr. Patterson by exposing the fraud committed by the company and exonerating the former CEO. Blinglets' Attorney, Robert Hantman learned that it was not Mr. Patterson that was responsible for committing fraud by hacking into Blinglets source code. During the proceedings, AMBER Ready's Technical Manager provided a statement that confirmed Mr. Del Vecchio arranged for Scott Holmes to hack into Blinglets server. The Blinglets litigation was the only remaining lawsuit that Mr. Patterson was named as a defendant. "I'm happy both parties were able to come to an agreement and my name was vindicated during the proceedings", said Mr. Patterson. The lawsuit was a blessing in disguise because it enable Mr. Patterson to use the court documents to prevent several school PTA organizations, police departments and the New York City Housing Authority from being defrauded by Mr. Del Vecchio and Thomas Belesis, according to other former employees.


John Thomas Financial's Attorney, Robert Burskey lied by stating Blinglest's technology was faulty, but AMBER Ready was unable to reproduce a working mobile phone application to replace the application designed by Kai Patterson and developed by Blinglets. Mr. Burskey also lied by stating that AMBER Ready's application was not based on a mobile phone application, because the video produced by Mr. Del Vecchio after Mr. Patterson was no longer employed by the company clearly disproves that statement (See: http://bit.ly/9YbAPo). If Blinglets technology was faulty, why did AMBER Ready agree to pay Blinglets $650,000? The answer is that Robert Hantman was able to expose that John Thomas Financial and John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund intended to implement a "Pump and Dump" on the stock market, by using the issue of missing children and AMBER Ready to enrich themselves. Mr. Patterson was terminated because he would not allow his company to be used to defraud investors. "Mr. Del Vecchio falsified documents to arrange for Mr. Patterson's termination", said another former employee. After Mr. Patterson was terminated and Mr. Del Vecchio realized he was unable to reproduce another working mobile phone application, he did everything he could do to get the company's stock to trade; including lying to potential customers and filing a false registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

While Mr. Patterson was the CEO of AMBER Ready, he designed the nation's first mobile phone child safety application. The application enable parents to download the utility into parent's mobile phones and create their children's profiles without use of a person computer. Parent's could take their children's picture using the camera on their mobile phones and integrate the photo image into their children's descriptive data profile. If a parent with the application child ever became missing, the parent could transfer the profile to AMBER Ready's network, which would then transmit the profile to police. The program drastically would reduce the time a police department could receive a missing child's profile in to format ready to place on alert from about 4 hours to 10 minutes. The application was created to be compatible with law enforcement agencies existing systems and protocols. The AMBER Ready Program was overwhelmingly embraced by law enforcement agencies at all levels and news agencies throughout the country.

In June of 2008, Mr. Patterson contracted Blinglets to develop the application from his design and the application was delivered to the company in April of 2009. Prior to Mr. Patterson's termination that was in the planning stages by John Thomas Financial in August of 2009 and executed in September of 2009, Mr. Del Vecchio arranged for Blingltes' contract to be terminated. This enabled Shining Star Web Strategies to receive the development contract. Shining Star Web Strategies had previously developed the website for Mr. Del Vecchio's company to pose at the US Consumer Protection Agency (See: http://bit.ly/94GoZz and http://bit.ly/aGcthY) and the company's management team were personal friends of Mr. De. Vecchio. Mr. Del Vecchio arranged for the company's Technical Director, Scott Holmes to steal the mobile phone application software modules that were owned by Blinglets. These modules were used in other mobile phone applications developed by Blinglets and were proprietary. This act led to Blinglets filing a lawsuit against the Company. Because Mr. Patterson was the CEO at the time of the attempted theft, Blinglets thought Mr. Patterson was associated with the attempted theft. Documents provided by another AMBER Ready employee confirm that Mr. Del Vecchio orchestrated the attempted theft of the application (See: http://bit.ly/aF0xyq).

During the legal proceedings, Blinglets' attorney Robert Hantman deposed Frank Del Vecchio, who was the company's CEO that replaced Mr. Patterson after his termination. The deposition exposed the numerous acts of fraud committed by Mr. Del Vecchio and Thomas Belesis who is the President of the company's investment bank, John Thomas Financial. The depositions were conducted by Blinglets' attorney Robert Hantman to confirm that Mr. Del Vecchio arranged for AMBER Ready's employees to hack into the a part of the company's server that housed Blinglets' proprietary software. During his intense investigation and interviews of former AMBER Ready employees, Mr. Hantman learned AMBER Ready did not have a working mobile phone application. Letters provided by former employees confirmed that Mr. Del Vecchio fraudulently marketed and sold the application to numerous parents, police agencies and child advocate organizations, once Mr. Patterson was terminated (See: http://bit.ly/d57IsC and http://bit.ly/9ozjca). Since AMBER Ready did not have a working mobile phone application to replace the mobile phone application designed by Mr. Patterson and developed by Blinglets, Mr. Del Vecchio used the screens form Mr. Patterson's application to falsely market AMBER Ready's new application. The new application only worked from a PC and not a mobile phone as Mr. Del Vecchio continued to advertise. To get the company's stock to trade, Mr. Del Vecchio filed a registration statement with the SEC that represented AMBER Ready did have a working mobile phone application. Mr. Del Vecchio falsely marketing the application as a mobile phone application, and attempted to have the New York City Housing Authority pay for the mobile phone application after the company no longer had the technology that NYCHA agreed to purchase. At the time that NYCHA agreed to purchase 30,000 mobile phone applications for the New York City public housing residents, AMBER Ready did have the working phone application that was designed by Mr. Patterson and developed by Blinglets. When Mr. Patterson learned that Mr. Del Vecchio and John Thomas Financial failed to disclose the truth, while attempting to get NYCHA to issue the $1.5 million dollar check, Mr. Patterson contacted NYCHA and informed them of the scheme. The documents acquired by Robert Hantman, confirm that Mr. Del Vecchio, Thomas Belesis and Milton Makris, attempted to defraud the New York City Housing Authority (See: http://bit.ly/9hBD9z and http://bit.ly/b2YgUz).

During the depositions of Frank Del Vecchio and Martha Perez who was the Controller of AMBER Ready, both parties while under oath admitted the company no longer had a working mobile phone application after Mr. Patterson was terminated. They also confessed to having issued stock certificates with Mr. Patterson's forged signature without Mr. Patterson's knowledge. Mr. Del Vecchio filed a registration statement with the SEC that stated the company had acquired 4,000 enrollments after issuing John Thomas Financial and their partner company John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund more than 39 million shares. Mr. Del Vecchio stated that AMBER Ready only had acquired approximately 600 enrollments in 2009 in his deposition, but Mrs. Perez's statements and former employee letters confirm the company only acquired less than 300 enrollments. Not only did Mr. Del Vecchio state the company had acquired 4,000 enrollments when the company had acquired less than 300 in 2009 in the registration statement, but Mr. Del Vecchio clearly stated the company had "state-of-the-art and instant information dissemination methodology". The false statements were filed to get the company's stock to trade at a higher price per share. If the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) had issued the $1,500,000 check to AMBER Ready, it is easy to say that Wall Street market makers would have valued the company's stock at more than $10 per share, if the registration statement filed by Mr. Del Vecchio was approved by the SEC. Mr. Del Vecchio failed to tell the NYCHA the company no longer had a working mobile phone application while he awaited the payment pledged by NYCHA at AMBER Ready's Back to School Event. Mr. Del Vecchio knew the company no longer had a working application to deliver to NYCHA residents. Even if the stock was approved to trade at $1 per share by market makers as a result of the misrepresentations by Mr. Del Vecchio, John Thomas Financial and their partner company could have sold their stock for $39 million dollars through their more than 200 brokers.

The registration statement filed by Mr. Del Vecchio was not disclosed to Mr. Patterson, even though he was a Board Member. Mr. Del Vecchio and the other AMBER Ready Board Members also failed to disclose to the SEC that Mr. Patterson was never provided with any documents to review after his termination, in an attempt prevent the SEC from investigating the matter and approve the stock to trade. AMBER Ready was required to have all of its Board Member review and approve the registration statement or disclose the statement was not reviewed by all Board Members. After learning registration statements were filed containing false statements with the SEC by the other Board Member of AMBER Ready, Mr. Patterson had his attorney issue a letter to the Board Members to demand all of the documents he was required to receive, but AMBER Ready refused to accept the request and failed to disclose this issue to the SEC (See: http://bit.ly/bA1PL1). Mr. Patterson believed the registration was withheld to prevent him from discovering the false statements filed by Mr. Del Vecchio and the remaining Board Members with the SEC. Knowing that AMBER Ready intended to commit securities fraud and was carrying out their intentions, Mr. Patterson continued to monitor the company's activities and resigned as a Board Member. All of these issues were exposed as a result of the Blinglets litigation and depositions of Mr. Del Vecchio and Mrs. Perez.

Galaxy Media & Marketing Corp recently acquired AMBER Ready, without knowing severity of the fraud previously committed by AMBER Ready, John Thomas Financial and their law firms (See: http://bit.ly/9gNMoo). Now the parent company and its new CEO, Gary Savage dropped selling the AMBER Ready program, and the website is no longer operating. Galaxy Media and Marketing has also taken down the company's website and replaced the content with "Coming Soon" (See: http://galaxymediamarketing.com/). Previously the AMBER Ready website stated the program was free until September 30th, 2010, because the company hoped the Blinglets settlement would have been executed before October 1, 2010. Perhaps AMBER Ready hoped to implement a joint venture with Blinglets since AMBER Ready was unable to redevelop a working mobile phone application. Considering all of the fraud previously committed by AMBER Ready, Blinglets will probably stay as far away from AMBER Ready as possible if they know what's good for their company. Kai Patterson who AMBER Ready's original founder and former CEO resigned as a Board Member and has decided not to deal with the company after it filed a false complaint against him that was dismissed (See: http://bit.ly/dskwqa). Mr. Patterson's settlement agreement exonerated him from all of the false allegations that were made by Mr. Del Vecchio and Martha Perez in the false complaint they filed, in an attempt to hide their fraud. Mr. Patterson also entered into a separate settlement with Blinglets and helped expose that Mr. Del Vecchio was responsible for committing the fraud against Blinglets. The Blinglets settlement now enables all parties to go their separate ways, without any potential recourse against the other parties. It is interesting to see what Galaxy Media & Marketing Corp is going to do with the AMBER Ready Program, now that it has loans to repay investors in excess of $20 million dollars. They are going to have to sell a lot of "PurEffect", which is an acne treatment solution they sell for another company. This is not the product the AMBER Ready investors invested more than $17 million dollars for the company to sell. Although the AMBER Ready investors can convert their loans into additional, it is highly unlikely they will considering the fraud committed by the company. Now that Galaxy Media & Marketing Corp is raising money through investors and the brokerage firm of John Thomas Financial, it's interesting to know if they disclosed the company's problems to potential investors in the Private Placement Memorandum filed with the SEC.

AMBER Ready Settled Its Lawsuit with the Terrie Williams Agency; Releasing Kai Patterson and Frank Del Vecchio from Any Future Claims.

See Settlement: http://bit.ly/aFhZz1

After Kai Patterson was no longer the CEO of AMBER Ready, the Terrie Williams Agency filed a lawsuit against the company, because Frank Del Vecchio failed to pay the public relations firm (See: http://bit.ly/dfqMAd). Yesterday, the case was dismissed in the United States District Court of New Jersey and AMBER Ready, Kai Patterson and Frank Del Vecchio were released of any future claims (See: http://bit.ly/dBcvb9). Although Mr. Patterson was not employed with the company at the time the lawsuit was filed, he was named as a defendant. Mr. Patterson stated that he was named in the lawsuit because the agency was not aware he was no longer an officer of the company. AMBER Ready did not file an amendment to their Articles of Incorporation to legally replace Mr. Patterson as President, Secretary and Treasurer until March 15, 2010. "When you create a highly visible product that ends up on the hands of someone else, you can't control what happens"; says Patterson. AMBER Ready started out as a revolutionary child safety program with huge promise, and ended up as a nightmare of lawsuits and legal issues. I'm glad the Terrie Williams Agency was able to settle with the company and both sides are happy"; says Mr. Patterson.

AMBER Ready is currently in the process of also settling the Blinglets v. AMBER Ready, Inc. lawsuit, which was also filed after Mr. Patterson was no longer the CEO of the company (See: http://bit.ly/djX3vl). The final drafts of the settlement agreement is currently being circulated for signatures, say Mr. Patterson. Since Mr. Patterson departed from running the day-to-day operations of the company, and Mr. Del Vecchio became the CEO, several lawsuits have been filed against the company, says another former employee. The Blinglets lawsuit is the only remaining lawsuit that Kai Patterson was named as a defendant. Although Mr. Patterson was named in the lawsuits, he was indemnified by the company according to Mr. Patterson's attorney (See: http://bit.ly/90d8Hb).

John McCurdy was hired by Mr. Del Vecchio as a consultant to the company and also filed a lawsuit for nonpayment. Mr. Patterson was not named as a defendant of that lawsuit. Mr. McCurdy won a judgment against the company for nonpayment in February 2010. Mr. McCurdy, who was a friend of Mr. Del Vecchio was hired by the company after Mr. Patterson was no longer the CEO of the company. Mr. McCurdy was instrumental in helping AMBER Ready acquire agreements and sales with the Northern New Jersey Council Boy Scouts of America as well as several other accounts (See: http://bit.ly/btsNHh). At the time the presentations were made by Mr. McCurdy, AMBER Ready did not have a working mobile phone application, which was sold to parents through the organizations that entered into agreements to market the program. Mr. Del Vecchio later confessed the mobile phone application did not exist in a deposition under oath (See: http://bit.ly/aWptxF). "Like many consultants and companies that entered into agreements with the AMBER Ready while Mr. Del Vecchio was the CEO, they were unaware the mobile phone application no longer existed"; says another former employee. Mr. Del Vecchio hired another company to redevelop the working application designed by Mr. Patterson and developed by Blinglets.

When Mr. Patterson was the CEO of AMBER Ready, the only lawsuit the company received was from a "crackpot" named Bruce Seybert, who claimed he invented and owned the copyright for the name "AMBER" and "AMBER Alert". Mr. Seybert never filed or owned any copyrights, trademarks or service marks with the US Patent Office. The lawsuit was filed in the State of Texas and dismissed (See Dismissal: http://bit.ly/eDTNQE). Mr. Seybert also filed lawsuits against the Department of Justice and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for more than $300 million, which were also dismissed. "I can't believe what some people will do to get a little recognition". "It seems like some people are more concerned with getting recognized then doing what is right for children". "I'm moving on with my life and creating technology to solve other societal problems". "I wish everyone the best". "I put ten years into AMBER Ready, perhaps it's time to do something else"; say Mr. Patterson. AMBER Ready's headquarters and 24-Hour Call Center in Rockaway, New Jersey closed in less than ten months after Mr. Del Vecchio became the CEO.

Sincerely,

Former AMBER Ready Employee

False Complaint Dismissed Against Kai Patterson!

How Frank Del Vecchio Committed Fraud To Indict Kai Patterson

See Kai Patterson Dismissal: Click Here 
See All Counts Dismissed: Click Here 

The Federal Charge Against Kai Patterson Was Also Dismissed
Also See Federal Dismissal: https://bit.ly/3688cF9, And Story: https://bit.ly/2QBIgN7   
    
Mobile Phone Application
Prior to August of 2009, Kai Patterson announced and rolled out a mobile phone child safety program called AMBER Ready II to enable parents to download a mobile phone application into their wireless phones to reduce the time to disseminate a missing child alert from hours to minutes (See: http://bit.ly/2mjtQA0. In August of 2009, AMBER Ready's Founder and CEO learned the investment by John Thomas Financial was structured to cheat the company's investors through Penalty Shares. Unwilling to issue the Penalty Shares to cheat the company's investors, Frank Del Vecchio falsified documents to allege that Mr. Patterson misappropriated funds. The Board of Directors terminated Mr. Patterson as CEO and Chairman of the company and Mr. Del Vecchio became AMBER Ready's new CEO. To compensate Mr. Del Vecchio for his actions, he was given a raise by AMBER Ready's Board of Directors from $100,000 per year to more than $380,000 per year with compensations (See: http://bit.ly/2D2kmEf).


Kai D. Patterson
Prior to Mr. Patterson's termination, he became suspicious of Mr. Del Vecchio and setup an e-mail monitoring program to receive copies of Mr. Del Vecchio's e-mails without anyone's knowledge. In an attempt to justify terminating AMBER Ready's Founder and Former CEO, Frank Del Vecchio hired a long time friend and private investigator, James O'Connor to falsify documents to allege that Kai Patterson misappropriated funds. The documents Mr. O'Connor produced shows a cut wire transfer form and photographs of an e-mail Mr. Patterson was accused of having printed and shredded along with the original wire transfer form (See: http://bit.ly/2mtdcQb). Unknown to Mr. Del Vecchio and Mr. O'Connor, the shredder in Mr. Patterson office that Mr. Connor alleged Mr. Patterson used, had been broken for almost two years. Also unknown to anyone, Mr. Patterson had received a copy of Mr. O'Connor's certification and photographs of the falsified documents when they were e-mailed to Mr. Del Vecchio. Christina Cella, AMBER Ready's office manager and Mr. Patterson's assistant, provided an affidavit that confirmed Mr. Patterson's shredded had not worked for the entire time she was employed with the company (See Paragraphs 2 & 23: http://bit.ly/2mm4mCC). When Mr. Del Vecchio and Mr. O'Connor falsified the documents to alleged that Mr. Patterson created false documents to misappropriate funds, they mistyped Mr. Patterson's e-mail address as "kap@amberalertsafety.com", instead of "kdp@amberalertsafety.com". At the time documents were alleged to have been shredded by Mr. Patterson, his e-mail address was "kdp@amberready.com, because the company stopped using their "amberalertsafety.com" server. Several former AMBER Ready employees has provided affidavit to confirm that Mr. Patterson's e-mail address was "kdp@amberready.com" (See: http://bit.ly/2ms9E0s,  
http://bit.ly/2AQknGf and http://bit.ly/2D1C1wE). The typo by Mr. James O'Connor and letters provided by several former AMBER Ready employees confirmed the shredder in Mr. Patterson's office had not worked for more than 20 months. These documents also confirmed Mr. Del Vecchio and Mr. O'Connor falsified the documents to arrange for Mr. Patterson to be terminated as the CEO of AMBER Ready, and to file the false complaint.


Mistyped E-Mail Of Fake Evidence
To ensure Mr. Patterson had no ties to AMBER Ready's mobile phone technology, Mr. Del Vecchio hired Shining Star Web Strategies to redevelop AMBER Ready's applications. Shining Star Web Strategies had previously developed web applications for other company's owned by Mr. Del Vecchio's (See:
http://bit.ly/cXBMWr), but did not have the sufficient mobile phone application development experience to redevelop AMBER Ready's mobile phone application. Unable to reproduce AMBER Ready's mobile phone application to replace the mobile phone application designed by Mr. Patterson, Mr. Del Vecchio had Shining Star Web Strategies produce a PC based application that could not enable parents to create their children's profiles using only their wireless phones. The replacement application was a PC based program that only created and sent parents an e-mail of the child's data and photograph. The replacement application functionality could be achieved with any parents existing e-mail program, and offered nothing significant to parents that purchased the program. Anyone with an e-mail account, can create an e-mail with their children's information and pictures. For several months, Mr. Del Vecchio had the employees of AMBER Ready market and sell the new application as the original mobile phone application. While Mr. Patterson was the CEO of AMBER Ready, the New York City Housing Authority agreed to purchase 30,000 mobile phone application enrollments for $1,500,000 (See: http://bit.ly/2ARr3nE). The National PTA, Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives and Mother Against Drunk Driving, where among several organizations that had entered into agreements to purchase enrollments or sell the program to parents while Mr. Patterson was the CEO of the company.

Frank Del Vecchio
When Mr. Del Vecchio learned that Mr. Patterson had notified all of the agencies and had received copies of all of his e-mails, AMBER Ready and John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund filed a complaint and a lawsuit against Mr. Patterson. The complaint filed by Mr. Del Vecchio, used the falsified documents prepared by James O'Connor to allege that Mr. Patterson misappropriated funds from AMBER Ready, hacked into AMBER Ready's server to monitor Mr. Del Vecchio's e-mails and contacted AMBER Ready's clients to cause harm to the Company. AMBER Ready's complaint never mentioned the company was falsely marketing and selling a mobile phone application, which Mr. Del Vecchio letter admitted did not exist (See:
http://bit.ly/2AQeBo8). Knowing that he had prevented the Housing Authority, as well as other agencies from being defrauded by AMBER Ready, Mr. Patterson stood up against AMBER Ready's complaint, which was eventually dismissed (See: http://bit.ly/2D34Ub6). 

Since the dismissal of the false complaint against Mr, Patterson, Mr. Del Vecchio has confessed to numerous acts of fraud as the CEO of AMBER Ready in a deposition while under oath. Mr. Del Vecchio openly admitted under oath, AMBER Ready did not have a working mobile phone application. Other former employees have issued statement confirming AMBER Ready did not have a working mobile phone child safety application (See: 
http://bit.ly/2AR38ot). A former AMBER Ready employee, and retired New York City Police Sergeant provided an affidavit that confirmed Mr. Del Vecchio told employees to not disclose AMBER Ready no longer had a working mobile phone application and to continue selling the program as advertised (See: http://bit.ly/2CTvi3I). Other employees have provided affidavits to also confirm Mr. Del Vecchio filed a registration statement containing false statements. In the Registration Statement and Amendment filed by Frank Del Vecchio to the Securities and Exchange Commission, he stated the company acquired more than 4,000 enrollments between March and August of 2009.

False Statement: "During our six-month retail mall pilot between March and September 2009, more than 4,000 families obtained an additional wireless phone to enable both parents to participate in the AMBER Ready Program."

Page 26 of Registration: Click Here, Full Registration Statement: http://bit.ly/blVZ2V 
Page 28 of Amendment: Click Here, Full Registration Statement: http://bit.ly/cKdna9 

After falsely representing to the SEC AMBER Ready had more than 4,000 enrollments in December 2009 and February 2010, in his deposition under oath, Mr. Del Vecchio stated the company acquired about 600 enrollments (See: http://bit.ly/2mt2kBO). Employee letters and AMBER Ready's accounting statement confirms the company had less than 300 enrollment (See: http://bit.ly/2AQTzWg and http://bit.ly/2DoXCfL). 

After spending more than 10 years building AMBER Ready, Mr. Patterson's dream to provide American with a state of the art child safety program has been shattered. Within 10 months of Mr. Del Vecchio becoming the CEO of AMBER Ready, all of the agencies Mr. Patterson worked for years to support his dream have terminated their relationships with AMBER Ready. The company's mobile phone application no longer exists, furthermore the 24-Hour Call Center no longer receives calls and headquarters has closed without a single disclosure to shareholders (See: http://bit.ly/2CR1Z1L, http://bit.ly/2ml0fqx and http://bit.ly/2EwBiji). The remainder of the $14 million invested in the company has been spent on falsely marketing a program that no longer existed, and the company has merged into a new company in an attempt to get the Securities and Exchange Commission to approve the public trading of its stock under a new company (See: http://bit.ly/9gNMoo). 

A Former AMBER Ready Employee

P.S.

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 Galxy 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).

Document to Confirm Frank Del Vecchio, Thomas Belesis, George Jarkesy, Milton Makris and Mark Ross Run A Corrupt Enterprise To Defraud Investors And Consumers That Qualified For RICO!

Under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO Act, or RICO), a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any two of 35 crimes (27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes) within a 10-year period can be charged with "Racketeering". The acts of Bribery, Consumer Fraud, Securities Fraud, Extortion and Forgery are among the RICO crimes they committed to defraud the public, private agencies, as well as to government agencies.

Bribery


Thomas Belesis
Frank Del Vecchio was offered a salary raise to arrange the termination AMBER Ready founder and CEO. Mr. Del Vecchio was paid a $340,000 per year part-time salary for orchestrating the termination. Mr. Del Vecchio also issued more than 50 million shares to John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund, which is a subsidiary of John Thomas Financial. The following e-mails confirm, AMBER Ready's Board of Directors secretly arranged for Mr. Del Vecchio to receive the pay raise (See:
http://bit.ly/bTFNv1). In exchange for the raise, Mr. Del Vecchio with the assistance of Milton Makris committed securities fraud by filing a Registration Statement that contained false statements, consumer fraud falsely marketing a mobile phone application, forgery for issuing stock certificates with the former CEO scanned signature and extortion for threatening to fire employees that failed to falsely sell the AMBER Ready mobile phone application. Mr. Del Vecchio bribed employees and consultants to have them participate in committing fraud. Employees that supported Mr. Del Vecchio's fraud were rewarded by keeping their jobs and receiving salary raises.

Consumer Fraud (Fraud)

Mr. Del Vecchio falsely marketed and sold the AMBER Ready Program as a mobile phone child safety application, after approving the removal of the mobile phone functionality once he became the CEO of the Company. Knowing more than $14 million had been recently invested into the Company, Mr. Del Vecchio attempted to hide the mobile phone functionality no longer existed. The application was sold to numerous Police Department, Schools, PTA Organizations, and the Boy Scouts of America as a mobile phone application (See: http://bit.ly/aF0xyq and http://bit.ly/9ozjca). Mr. Del Vecchio produced a video promoting the mobile phone application (See: http://bit.ly/9YbAPo) and issued a press release promoting innovative technology that no longer existed (See: http://bit.ly/dpHR9g). In the press release by Mr. Del Vecchio, he stated AMBER Ready had "innovative child safety cell phone technology" after the Company no longer had any mobile phone application. Mr. Del Vecchio and AMBER Ready charged consumers between $9.00 and $40.00 for a program that simply sent an e-mail to a parents computer and mobile phone. Parents are able to create their children's profiles using their free existing e-mail accounts; such as AOL, Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook and Yahoo. Mr. Del Vecchio confessed in a deposition while under oath that AMBER Ready did not have a working mobile phone application (See: http://bit.ly/aWptxF) and no longer had a working mobile phone application in September of 2009.

Frank Del Vecchio, Thomas Belesis and Milton Makris attempted to defraud the New York City Housing Authority $1.5 million. In September of 2009, the New York City Housing Authority was unaware the mobile phone application they agreed to purchase no longer existed. Although he knew AMBER Ready's Mobile Phone Application no longer existed, Mr. Del Vecchio pursued the New York City Housing Authority to pay AMBER Ready without disclosing the problem. AMBER Ready had not received their $1.5 million payment, and hired Thomas Belesis' uncle, Milton Makris to serve as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Company (See: http://bit.ly/bXmmUK). In an e-mail sent to Mr. Del Vecchio by Milton Makris, AMBER Read planned to have the New York City Housing Authority pay for the application before disclosing the AMBER Ready Mobile Phone Application was no longer available (See: http://bit.ly/9hBD9z). Thomas Belesis also sent Mr. Del Vecchio an e-mail requesting that Mr. Del Vecchio get the New York City Housing Authority to pay AMBER Ready for the 30,000 enrollments while also knowing the mobile phone application no longer existed (See: http://bit.ly/b2YgUz). When the founder and former CEO of AMBER Ready received the e-mails, he contacted Reggie Bowman who was the President of the New York City Housing Authority. Mr. Bowman stated that he was unaware the mobile phone application no longer worked and cancelled the $1.5 million dollar check that had been prepared to be released to AMBER Ready.

Securities Fraud

Mr. Del Vecchio defrauded numerous investors by issuing more than 50 million shares to John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund, LLP, which is a subsidiary of John Thomas Financial, Inc. The 50 million shares were issued as part of a stock manipulation scheme to dilute the interest of the investors of the Company. John Thomas Financial represented to the Securities and Exchange Commission that John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund is not associated or a related entity to John Thomas Financial. Both Companies share the same logo and bear the name John Thomas (See: http://www.johnthomasbd.com/ and http://www.johnthomascmg.com/). The President of John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund is named George Jarkesy. Thomas Belesis, George Jarkesy and Mark Ross implemented the stock manipulation scheme by embedding terms and conditions in the funding agreement documents without disclosing the severity of the dilution resulting from issuing the Penalty Shares to AMBER Ready's founder or the investors of the Company. John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund received the lion share of the Penalty Shares that were issued to the 128 investors. Although they had no money invested in AMBER Ready at the time the Penalty Shares were issued, they received more than 29 million shares of the 50 million shares issued to investors.

Frank Del Vecchio filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission representing AMBER Ready acquired 4,000 enrollments, when the Company had less than 300 enrollments.

False Statement - "During our six-month retail mall pilot between March and September 2009, more than 4,000 families obtained an additional wireless phone to enable both parents to participate in the AMBER Ready Program".

Mr. Del Vecchio confessed in a deposition under oath that AMBER Ready did not have 4,000 enrollments and the Company did not have a mall pilot (See: http://bit.ly/dcJShk). Although Mr. Del Vecchio stated the Company had acquired 600 enrollments, the financial statement in the Registration Statement and letters from employees confirm the Company had less than 300 enrollment (See: http://bit.ly/9ozjca).

Failing to disclose in the Registration Statement filed with the SEC was withheld from the founder and former CEO while he was a Board Member, as well as all material documents pertaining to the Company. The Board of Directors purposely withheld the documents to prevent the founder and Former CEO from being alerted to the fraud committed by the Company. The Registration Statement contained false statements that overstated the success of the company by more than 1,300%.

Mr. Del Vecchio failed to disclose that he never reviewed the material agreements that were necessary to create the audited financial statements. In Mr. Del Vecchio's deposition, he stated on numerous he did not see the financial statement before it was e-mailed to him by the Company's Attorney, when he was lawfully required as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to review it and verify the financial statement was correct in accordance with the Title III of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Pub.L. 107-204, 116 Stat. 745) by not reviewing all the material agreements required to prepare audited financial statements.

Extortion

Mr. Del Vecchio confessed AMBER Ready did not have a working mobile phone application to enable parents to create their children's alert profiles in parents' wireless phones. Mr. Del Vecchio threatened numerous employees, including Retired New York City Police Officer, Robert Schechter from disclosing the truth about the mobile phone application (See: http://bit.ly/d57IsC). Mr. Del Vecchio has also sent Mr. Schechter a letter from his attorney to further threaten Robert Schechter. Several employees have confirmed that Mr. Del Vecchio did not have a working mobile phone application while he was the CEO of AMBER Ready (See: http://bit.ly/abCGfv).

Forgery

Mr. Del Vecchio issued the stock certificates to defraud AMBER Ready investors with the scanned signature of the former CEO for a period of seven (7) months after he was no longer an officer of the Company. Mr. Del Vecchio was afraid to issue the stock certificates in his own name, fearing investor and SEC repercussions since he was a public official. When the former founder and Former CEO of the Company learned his signature was issued on stock certificates to issue shares that he was terminating for not issuing, he sent Mr. Del Vecchio a letter demanding his signature no longer be used. Mr. Del Vecchio ignored the letter and continued using the former CEO signature. After receiving the former CEO's letter, Mark Ross (AMBER Ready's Attorney) modified AMBER Ready's By-Laws in an attempt to legalize Mr. Del Vecchio's continued using the forged signature. The false statements were filed by Mr. Del Vecchio in an attempt to allow the stock certificates to trade publically and to enrich Frank Del Vecchio, Thomas Belesis, Mark Ross, George Jarkesy, Milton Makris and other Board Members. Mr. Del Vecchio confessed to issuing stock certificates with the unauthorized approval of the former CEO and also confessed he was give permission by Mark Ross. Mr. Del Vecchio's Deposition Confessions of issuing stock certificates with the former CEO signature are on pages 67, 68, 72, 73, 118, 123, 124, 129, 132, 135, and 138 http://bit.ly/cv7wDO.

Obstruction of Justice

Mr. Del Vecchio and John Thomas Financial has attempted to Obstruct Justice by destroying company documents that included modifying the AMBER Ready website that listed the organization that were fraudulently marketed and sold the AMBER Ready Application. The AMBER Ready Website was changed after documents were posted on the internet that stated documents were sent to the US Attorney's Office, Securities and Exchange Commission and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

After learning of the fraud investigation by the US Attorney's Office, Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, AMBER Ready has attempted to Obstruct Justice by destroying company documents that include modifying the AMBER Ready website. The AMBER Ready website listed the organizations that were fraudulently marketed and sold the AMBER Ready Application. On or about August 7, 2010, AMBER Ready modified their website in an attempt to conceal the video produced by Frank Del Vecchio that marketed the AMBER Ready Mobile Phone Application that no longer exist when the video was produced, posted to the Company's website and aired on television stations. The video was created to present a false perception of the AMBER Ready Program for law enforcement agencies, investors, schools, parents, sponsors, children and child safety advocates. The video can currently be viewed on YouTube and clearly shows Mr. Del Vecchio promoting a mobile phone application that did not exist, required parents to pay between $19.95, but only enabled parents create an e-mail (See: http://bit.ly/9YbAPo).

In an attempt to conceal the fraud committed by the Company, AMBER Ready removed the pages and made URLs inaccessible from the AMBER Ready Website that listed the agencies that were marketed and sold the AMBER Ready Program. The agencies that were listed on the AMBER Ready Website were the Northern New Jersey Council of the Boy Scouts of America, Verizon Wireless Store in Flanders, Newark YMCA, and FOCUS Hispanic Center for Community Development. Archived pages can still be accessed on the internet to confirm the agencies that were falsely marketed and sold the AMBER Ready Program (See: http://bit.ly/btsNHh). Anticipating the Facebook page may be removed, a PDF Files were created that display the contents of each page removed that confirmed the program was falsely marketed and sold by the Company (See: http://bit.ly/cEzjTA).

In an attempt to conceal their role in developing the AMBER Ready website, Shining Star Web Strategies removed their name from the AMBER Ready website after altering the site to conceal AMBER Ready's fraudulent marketing and sales campaign history. Shining Star Web Strategies also developed Mr. Del Vecchio prior fraudulent company's website called "US Consumer Protection", which posed as the US Consumer Protection Agency (See: http://bit.ly/94GoZz and http://bit.ly/aGcthY). The Company charged consumers and business for the free services offered by the Federal Trade Commission's, US Consumer Protection Agency. Shining Star Web Strategies also proudly displays the testimonial of Mr. Del Vecchio company called US Consumer Protection as follows.

“Shining Star Web Strategies has taken my concept to a new level and helped me create a company and a site that is starting to grow bigger than I imagined. Thank you to Shining Star Web Strategies for your outstanding service and dedication to my project”.


Frank Del Vecchio, CEO, US Consumer Protection Fraud

In an attempt to further conceal the fraud he committed, Mr. Del Vecchio has contacted former employees and threatened them from providing letters and statements. Retired New York City Police Sergeant, Robert Schechter was issued a letter that confirmed Mr. Del Vecchio forced employees to lie about the AMBER Ready Mobile Phone Application (See: http://bit.ly/d57IsC). Mr. Del Vecchio's attorney issued a threatening letter to Mr. Schechter in an attempt to cause Mr. Schechter to retract his statement to conceal Mr. Del Vecchio's acts of fraud (See: http://bit.ly/abCGfv).

Summary

Although Frank Del Vecchio, Thomas Belesis and their lawyers have tried to explain away the numerous fraudulent actions of the parties, the evidence is overwhelming. The Registration Statement, as well as the Amendment filed by Mr. Del Vecchio and his deposition containing his confessions confirm all parties committed crimes to enrich themselves. This information, along with several other documents have been turned over the US Attorney's Office and the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition to the documents to confirm that Mr. Del Vecchio committed all of the alleged acts of fraud, Christina Cella's affidavit confirms Mr. Del Vecchio committed fraud while on duty as the Deputy Police Chief of Fairview, New Jersey (See: http://bit.ly/fedN8s).

P.S.

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 Galxy 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).

Frank Del Vecchio Previously Committed Fraud In Another Company Before AMBER Ready!

Frank Del Vecchio
Deputy Police Chief of Fairview New Jersey, is no stranger to fraud. Before becoming the CEO of AMBER Ready, Mr. Del Vecchio formed a company to pose as the US Consumer Protection Agency. Mr. Del Vecchio's Company was named "US Consumer Protection" to fool subscribers and businesses into thinking they were dealing with the federal agency formed to protect consumers from individuals like Mr. Del Vecchio. Mr. Del Vecchio formed, owned and operated the US Consumer Protection as a side business while he was the Deputy Police Chief of Fairview, New Jersey. Mr. Del Vecchio was also the former Director of Public Safety of Bergen County and used his law enforcement background to get organizations to support his fraudulent business.


Mr. Del Vecchio operated US Consumer Protection from a shabby 2nd floor office that was converted from an old two family house at 42 S. Maple Avenue, Ridgewood, New Jersey; not from the elegant Federal Trade Commission Building located in Washington, DC. Mr. Del Vecchio's company charged consumers to file reports with Mr. Del Vecchio's company, which is a free service offered by the US Consumer Protection Agency of the Federal Trade Commission. Mr. Del Vecchio also charged business to be listed as an approved company from US Consumer Protection and provide companies with logos for their doors and websites. Many business paid Mr. Del Vecchio's company to fool customers into believing their companies were approved by the Federal Trade Commission's US Consumer Protection Agency. Mr. Del Vecchio paid to have his company appear as the first company retrieved in internet searches for "consumer fraud", "consumer protection" and "approved businesses". Mr. Del Vecchio charged business to "Become a USCP Certified Business" and to receive referrals. Companies and consumers that paid Mr. Del Vecchio company were abandoned when Mr. Del Vecchio closed his company in 2008. Mr. Del Vecchio could no longer afford to operate the company as word got out that Mr. Del Vecchio's company was a fraud. Business and consumers were required to contact the US Consumer Protection Agency to report US Consumer Protection to receive a refund. When Mr. Del Vecchio closed down his company called US Consumer Protection, and took the company's website offline. Unaware of internet archives that preserved the website in archived files, Mr. Del Vecchio thought his prior fraudulent operation could be concealed.

Larry Engell was an employee of Mr. Del Vecchio's fraudulent company called US Consumer Protection. Mr. Engell was hired by Mr. Del Vecchio to work for AMBER Ready after the former CEO was terminated for not issuing shares to defraud investors in a stock manipulation scheme. Mr. Del Vecchio forged documents to present to the AMBER Ready's Board of Directors cause the former CEO's termination. Mr. Del Vecchio hired Mr. Engell to work for AMBER Ready after the former CEO was no longer an officer of the Company. Under the management of Mr. Del Vecchio, AMBER Ready failed to develop a replacement working mobile phone child safety application to replace the initial working mobile phone application designed by the former CEO. Mr. Engell was hired to manage the Company while Mr. Del Vecchio worked as the Deputy Police Chief of Fairview, New Jersey. "Mr. Engell had no background in child safety, mobile phone software, internet software, computer networks, sales, public relations, investment banking, accounting, product fulfillment or running a 24-hour call center, which made him the most qualified person to run the Company"; said a former employee while laughing.

Mr. Del Vecchio eventually terminated all of the AMBER Ready employees accept Mr. Engell, who answers the phones during the day and arranges for the calls to be routed to the Bergen County Sheriff's Department in the evening. Mr. Engell is also selling off the Company's assets, including all furniture, computer equipment, copiers, scanners, shredders, telephone equipment, video equipment and televisions. Since the company has none of the 14 million dollars funded into the Company last year, revenue from the sale of the Company's assets well go to pay Mr. Del Vecchio's and Mr. Engells salaries.

In addition to Mr. Del Vecchio committing consumer fraud though his prior company called US Consumer Protection, Mr. Del Vecchio has committed consumer fraud, securities fraud and forgery as the CEO of AMBER Ready. Many of Mr. Del Vecchio's acts of fraud were committed while he was on duty said one former employee in a notarized affidavit. Having committed fraud in two (2) companies, from as early as 2006, will authorities allow Mr. Del Vecchio to continue without being held responsible, because he is a public official?

Three Companies Run by Deputy Police Chief Frank Del Vecchio Shut Down in Less Than Three Years, Due To Fraud!

Frank Del Vecchio
Last Saturday, AMBER Ready shut down its website and the Bergen County Sheriff's Office remove the program from their website due to Mr. Del Vecchio's fraud. AMBER Ready has terminated all of its employees, leaving customers that purchase its child safety program to be routed to the Bergen County Sheriff's Office in the event of an emergency. "Parent's that don't live in Bergen County New Jersey are better-off calling 911", said one former employee. In less than three (3) years, Mr. Del Vecchio has owned and shutdown three (3) companies that were all tied to committing acts of fraud. In addition to Mr. Del Vecchio falsely representing that his new mobile child safety application worked to replace the working child safety application designed by the Company's former CEO. Before wasting investor's capital to promote a mobile phone application Mr. Del Vecchio knew did not work, he also owned a company that posed as the US Consumer Protection Agency and owned a Sprint Wireless Cell Phone store.

Mr. Del Vecchio's company called the US Consumer Protection was shut down in December 2008, leaving customers high and dry that paid for services that are provided at no cost by the US Consumer Protection Agency. Mr. Del Vecchio's Sprint Wireless Store was part of a partnership of four (4) owners. Each of the four Sprint Wireless stores shared a single Sprint Dealership Agreement that was terminated due to fraudulent activities. The owners setup a call center to search Sprint's database, which is provided to independent dealers and cold-called customers that were eligible to renew their wireless contracts. Although each of the four dealerships were located in low traffic remote locations, each of the partners were able to exceed the average Sprint independent dealership revenue. In January of 2008, Sprint terminated the accounts for all four partners, and Mr. Del Vecchio closed his Sprint location to concentrate on his other fraudulent company call US Consumer Protection. After defrauding numerous customers and business into believing they were being supported by the Federal Trade Commission's US Consumer Protection Agency, in 2008 Mr. Del Vecchio closed US Consumer Protection focus on supporting AMBER Ready founder and former CEO.

AMBER Ready's founder spent more than 10 years committed to developing child safety programs and hired Mr. Del Vecchio as the Company's Vice President. Under the direction of the founder and former CEO, each year AMBER Ready achieved new milestones. The Company was able to establish sales agreement and relationships with numerous organizations and developed innovative missing child safety programs. Under the direction of the Company's founder, AMBER Ready was recognized throughout the United States as the best child safety program by law enforcement and news reporters.

In September of 2009, Mr. Del Vecchio arranged for the former CEO to be terminated so Mr. Del Vecchio could be promoted to CEO. Under Mr. Del Vecchio's management, AMBER Ready committed numerous acts of fraud, including consumer fraud, securities fraud and forgery. Mr. Del Vecchio filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering (IPO) of the Company's stock. The Registration Statement contained false statement and numerous material omissions, including failing to disclose Mr. Del Vecchio's new mobile phone application did not work.

Not only has Mr. Del Vecchio proven that he is willing to commit fraud while he is the Deputy Police Chief of Fairview, New Jersey, but he is also willing to threaten anyone that expose his fraud. Retired New York City Police Sergeant, Robert Schechter has experienced retaliation of Mr. Del Vecchio. Mr. Schechter issued a letter that was sent to the US Attorney's Office that confirmed he was told to fraudulently sell AMBER Ready to police, schools and the Boy Scouts of America. When he learned of the letter, Mr. Del Vecchio had his attorney send Mr. Schechter a letter to threatened if he did not retract the statement. Below are the documents to confirm Mr. Del Vecchio's recent actions to commit and to conceal his fraud.
