Frank Del Vecchio's Fake Evidence |
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.

Patterson Receiving NOBLE Award |
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).

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.
