Kai Patterson Thanked By NYC Housing Authority For Preventing A $1.5 Million Fraud Scheme

The New York City Housing Authority Confirms That Frank Del Vecchio And Thomas Belesis Attempted To Commit Fraud Against NYCHA For 1.5 Million Dollars.


NYCHA Announcement Of $1.5 Million
The President of the Citywide Council Presidents for the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) confirms that Frank Del Vecchio and Thomas Belesis attempted to defraud the New York City Housing Authority 1.5 Million Dollars in his thank you letter to Kai D. Patterson, who was the former CEO of the company.  The thank you letter was addressed to Kai Patterson for preventing the New York City Housing Authority from being defrauded.  Mr. Patterson designed and created the AMBER Ready Program, which was the first child safety application to enable parents to create and store their children's missing alert profiles in parent's wireless phones. Once a child became missing with the AMBER Ready Program, a parent could call police and the police officer could transmit the missing child's profile to their police headquarters while conducting the search for the child. The missing child's profile could be disseminated to police cars, other police departments and the general public through the AMBER Alert program in minutes, instead of hours that it currently takes.  At the AMBER Ready Child Safety Back-to-School Times Square Event that AMBER Ready hosted, the New York City Housing Authority pledged to purchase 30,000 subscriptions of the AMBER Ready Program, at $1,500,000 to allow housing authority parents to receive the program at no cost (See: https://bit.ly/3dy0VSU). 

Frank Del Vecchio
Shortly after the Times Square event in August of 2009, Mr. Patterson was fired as the CEO of the company by Frank Del Vecchio, who falsified documents to arrange for Mr. Patterson's termination from the company he created and built from his concept to protect children. After Mr. Patterson was terminated, Mr. Del Vecchio became the CEO of AMBER Ready and hired Shining Star Web Strategies to redevelop the company's mobile phone child safety application. When Shining Star Web Stratagies was unable to reproduce the application, Mr. Del Vecchio told the employees of the company to not divulged the mobile phone application no longer existed, said former employee Robert Schechter.  Mr. Schechter was also a retired New York City Police Officer, and worked for the company when Mr. Patterson was terminated (See: Former Employee Letter To Confirm Fraud). Prior to Mr. Patterson's termination, he setup a program to receive copies of Mr. Del Vecchio's e-mails to confirm Mr. Del Vecchio, Thomas Belesis and other members of AMBER Ready's Board of Directors were plotting to terminate him. After Mr. Patterson was terminated, Mr. Del Vecchio was promoted to CEO and Milton Makris was hired as the COO of the Company. Mr. Makris was the uncle of Thomas Belesis, who was the President of John Thomas Financial that raised more than $15 million dollars from private investors for the company.  After Mr. Patterson was terminated, he continued to receive Mr. Del Vecchio's e-mails that confirmed Mr. Del Vecchio, Thomas Belesis and Milton Makris were attempting to get the New York City Housing Authority to issue the $1,500,000 check to AMBER Ready for the mobile phone child safety application the company could no longer deliver. The e-mails received by Mr. Patterson also confirmed that Frank Del Vecchio, Thomas Belesis and Milton Makris were going to blame Mr. Patterson for the company's new application not working after receiving the check from the Housing Authority (See: Del Vecchio's E-Mail To Defraud and Makris' E-Mail To Defraud).

Launch Of With President Of FLEOA
After receiving copies of the e-mails sent to Mr. Del Vecchio to confirm an attempt to defraud the Housing Authority was being hatched that would make Mr. Patterson appear to have committed the fraud, Mr. Patterson secretly notified the Housing Authority and made them aware of the scheme. Mr. Patterson also sent the Housing Authority along with several other organization documents to confirm that Blinglets had filed a lawsuit against AMBER Ready and Shining Star Web Strategies' new mobile phone application did not work (See: Lawsuit). Mr. Patterson also told the Housing Authority that he was falsely terminated for not partaking in a scheme to defraud the company's investors. Mr. Del Vecchio had issued stock certificates to John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund to dilute the other shareholders of the company by forging Mr. Patterson's signature on the stock certificates.  More than 50 million shares were issued with Mr. Patterson's forged signature to John Thomas Financial's subsidiary and other investors.  After notifying the Housing Authority of the scheme, Mr. Patterson also notified the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (FLEOA), National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), National PTA and Mothers Against Drunk Driving, who had committed to purchase or sell the AMBER Ready Application while Mr. Patterson was the CEO of the Company. "I did not want to see these organizations be defrauded by AMBER Ready, while I became the scapegoat," said Mr. Patterson. While Mr. Patterson was the CEO of the Company, the mobile phone child safety application did work, was tested and was certified through a third party mobile phone testing program with a company called Device Anywhere (See: Endorsement).

The letter sent to Mr. Patterson from the Housing Authority also confirms that AMBER Ready plotted to terminate Mr. Patterson several months before Mr. Del Vecchio falsified documents to arrange for Mr. Patterson's termination. In an attempt to prepare the Housing Authority for Mr. Patterson's termination, Fred Brown told the Housing Authority . Mr. Brown told the President of the President Council that Mr. Patterson was going to be terminated in May of 2009 and on the evening of the launch of the Times Square Event, which was after the Housing Authority executed the order to purchase the program. A week after the order was executed in August of 2009, a document was created by Mr. Del Vecchio to allege the past due salary that Mr. Patterson paid himself in April of 2009, was misappropriated. The document that was created by Mr. Del Vecchio was cut into thin strips and made to appear they were taken out of a shredder that was in Mr. Patterson's office. The document consisted of a wire form and an e-mail. The falsified document that was cut into strips were cut too thick to have come from the shredder according to Mr. Patterson. Mr. Del Vecchio also hired a private investigator to certify the documents were authentic, but the document contained a typo in Mr. Patterson's e-mail address, which was mistyped as kap@amberalertsafety.com, when Mr. Patterson's correct e-mail address was kdp@amberready.com. Mr. Del Vecchio was also not aware the shredder had been broken for almost 2 years, which was confirmed by two other former employees of the company (See: Employee E-Mail Confirmation and Employee E-Mail Confirmation).

Thomas Belesis
All of the documents confirm that Mr. Del Vecchio, Thomas Belesis and Milton Makris participated in the scheme to defraud the Housing Authority have been turned over to US Federal Authorities. According to several former employees, Mr. Del Vecchio attempted to defraud several other law enforcement agencies by using his position as the Deputy Police Chief to persuade other law enforcement agencies to purchase an application that did not work. When Mr. Del Vecchio was promoted to CEO of AMBER Ready after arranging form Mr. Patterson's termination, he was given a raise from $100,000 per year to $340,000 per year with additional compensations. Mr. Del Vecchio used his influence as Bergen County's form Director of Public Safety to persuade Bergen County Sheriff to purchase the nonworking mobile phone application. The Bergen County Sheriff's Office, in New Jersey purchased the application for Bergen County parents before learning the mobile phone application did not work.  Mr. Del Vecchio was the new appointed CEO AMBER Ready and current Deputy Police Chief of Fairview, New Jersey at the time of the purchase.  Mr. Del Vecchio sold the Bergen County Sheriff's Department the nonworking application, before confessing the mobile phone application did not work in a deposition while under oath in the Blinglets litigation, which was recently settled for $650,000 by AMBER Ready.  Mr. Del Vecchio was issued a citation award by Sheriff McGuire, which was posted on the Internet in August of 2010, yet finally admitted the application did not work in a deposition on June 24, 2010 while under oath (See: Page 82).  

See: County Parent Letter, Announcement and Settlement

Mr. Del Vecchio and Mr. Belesis attempted to implement a scheme to defraud the New York City Housing Authority, police departments and several child safety organization, while attempting to also commit securities fraud. AMBER Ready has finally been shut down by the company that was defrauded into purchasing the company in a merger. In April of 2010, CK-41 entered into a merger with AMBER Ready to form the company Galaxy Media and Marketing (See: http://bit.ly/2lBkX55). CK-41 was not told by Frank Del Vecchio the company's mobile phone application did not work, nor was the company told of the numerous acts of fraud committed by Mr. Del Vecchio and others associated with the company after Mr. Patterson was terminated. "It seems like we've been getting a new lawsuit every other week from AMBER Ready," said a member of Galaxy Media and Marketing.  The new company has settled the lawsuits of Blinglets, the Terrie William Agency, but has recently received a lawsuit from ABC Studios because Mr. Del Vecchio failed to pay for the Times Square Event. AMBER Ready did not disclose proper amount of the past due liability before the merger. Apparently this story is going to take a new twist now that U.S. Federal Authorities are evolved and new lawsuits have emerged.

By: 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 (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).

George Jarkesy
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: Fraud Charges).  In addition, the Securities And Exchange Commission has also successfully prosecuted Thomas Belesis and his partner George Jarkesy for committing fraud against Kai Patterson and AMBER Ready, which is the company that Patterson founded (See: SEC Charges SEC Conviction). Thomas Belesis was also bared from ever operating as an investment banker again for the fraud that he committed against Kai Patterson and his company AMBER Ready (See: Disbarment).  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.

Documents To Confirm That Deputy Police Chief of Fairview, New Jersey, Frank Del Vecchio's Fraud

Frank Del Vecchio
Several Former Employees confirm that Mr. Del Vecchio replaced the former CEO's working mobile phone child safety application, with a nonworking application that was developed and released after the former CEO was no longer an officer of the Company. After learning the new mobile phone application did not work, Mr. Del Vecchio forced employees t market and sell the mobile phone application as advertised, said Retired New York City Police Officer and former employee Robert Schechter. Retired New York City Police Officer and Licensed Private Investigator, Robert Schechter, provided a letter that also confirms he was terminated for discussing Mr. Del Vecchio's the problems with the mobile phone application with other employees. Mr. Schechter's letter also confirms Mr. Del Vecchio knowingly marketed and sold the nonworking application to the AMBER Ready Mobile Phone Application to several police department and child safety organization.

Retired NYC Police Officer and Former Employee to Confirm Mr. Del Vecchio's Fraud:

In an attempt to intimidate former New York City Police Officer and Licensed Private Investigator, Robert Schechter, Mr. Del Vecchio's attorney and personal friend Mark E. Leibman sent Mr. Schechter a letter threatening him to retract his statements to confirm Mr. Del Vecchio's Fraud. Although Mr. Schechter's letter is consistent with other letters provided by former employee's, Mr. Schechter's letter proves Mr. Del Vecchio threatened employees and terminated Mr. Schechter for not wanting to commit fraud.

Letter to Threaten Retired NYC Police Officer from Exposing Mr. Del Vecchio's Fraud:

AMBER Ready's IT Manager and Sr. Systems Administrator also confirms Mr. Del Vecchio's fraud by providing a letter confirms Mr. Del Vecchio knew the AMBER Ready Mobile Phone Application to replace the working mobile phone application designed by the former CEO could not be delivered. Mr. Del Vecchio also previously created a company called US Consumer Protection to fool the general public into thinking his organization was the US Consumer Protection Agency. Mr. Del Vecchio's company called US Consumer Protection "cold called" companies to solicit their payment to be listed as a favorably operating company on the US Consumer Protection website. Mr. Del Vecchio also charged consumers that were defrauded by companies to receive services to get a refund. The US Consumer Protection Agency currently and has always provided these services at no cost. After being notified by the US Consumer Protection Agency, Mr. Del Vecchio shut down his fledgling company that operated out of a 2 room shabby office in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Mr. Del Vecchio went from cheating consumers into paying for free government services to now falsely marketing and selling a nonworking child safety application to police, parents, children and child organizations.

Another AMBER Ready Employee confirms the new mobile phone application Mr. Del Vecchio had developed, did not work as the original mobile phone application worked, which was designed by the former CEO. Mr. Yourman confirms the former CEO of the Company was able to demonstrate his working mobile phone application to several news reporters, unlike Mr. Del Vecchio's mobile phone application. Mr. Yourman also confirms that Mr. Del Vecchio marketed and sold the nonworking application to PTA organizations, the Boy Scouts and Police Departments. Mr. Yourman also confirmed AMBER Ready only acquired 300 enrollments and not the 4,000 enrollments Mr. Del Vecchio falsely stated in the Registration Statement Mr. Del Vecchio filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Steve Yourman's Letter to Confirm Frank Del Vecchio's Fraud: http://bit.ly/cFs1cq

AMBER Ready failed to notify its investors the Company replaced its original working mobile phone application and Mr. Del Vecchio's new application had no working mobile phone application. The letters sent to investors and posted on the internet do not disclose any of the Company's problems. These disclosures are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission under their Misleading Statement or Omission under Rule 10b-5 http://bit.ly/cqEI18. In an attempt to conceal the fraud committed by Mr. Del Vecchio, AMBER Ready took down AMBER Ready's Website (http://www.amberready.com/) and the Bergen County Sheriff also took down it's AMBER Ready enrollment page. AMBER Ready currently has another webpage that is still active at http://www.amberreadymobile.com. Once Mr. Del Vecchio realizes the webpage is still up, it will probably be taken down to also conceal Mr. Del Vecchio's fraud. To confirm Mr. Del Vecchio and AMBER Ready did not disclose the Company did not have a working mobile phone application, copies of the investors webpage was copied and the latest shareholder letter dated June 30, 2010 can also be downloaded to further confirm AMBER Ready's fraud.

Latest Letter to AMBER Ready Shareholder that Conceals the Mobile Phone Application Problem: http://bit.ly/cNHbni

Mr. Del Vecchio used his relationships developed when he was the Director of Public Safety for Bergen County, New Jersey to enable the Bergen County Sheriff Department to endorse, market and sell the AMBER Ready Mobile Phone application that did not work. In an attempt to provide a good service for Bergen County residents, Sheriff Leo McGuire trusted Mr. Del Vecchio to not mislead police, parents and children by enabling the AMBER Ready Program to be sold on the Bergen County Sheriff's website. Learning of the fraud committed by Mr. Del Vecchio and the mobile phone child safety application did not work, the AMBER Ready enrollment page was also taken down from the Official Bergen County Sheriff's Website. A copy of the endorsement page is also available to download that proves Deputy Police Chief, Del Vecchio committed fraud against Bergen County Residents.

Bergen County Sheriff's Office Website to Confirm Mr. Del Vecchio's Against Bergen County Residents: http://bit.ly/dCki7F

Former AMBER Ready employees have assembled more than 100 documents to confirm Mr. Del Vecchio, some AMBER Ready Board Members, John Thomas Financial, John Thomas Bridge and Opportunity Fund, and several law firms participated in aiding Mr. Del Vecchio to commit consumer and securities fraud. Mr. Del Vecchio arranged for the former CEO and Founder of AMBER Ready to be terminated for his own personal promotion and salary raise of more than $340,000 per year, in addition to his $150,000 annual salary as the Deputy Police Chief of Fairview, New Jersey. Mr. Del Vecchio has a long history of committing fraud. He has used his political connections and the public trust for his own personal self interest. Any normal citizen that has committed the levels of fraud by Mr. Del Vecchio would be facing serious criminal charges by Local, State and Federal agencies. AMBER Ready is out of funding and is currently raising additional investor capital through Galaxy Media and Marketing Corporation to enable Mr. Del Vecchio to continue to receive his salary, while he defrauds more Americans.

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).  How long will Mr. Del Vecchio continue to use his political and police connections to defraud Americans before the American Judicial System takes actions against Mr. Del Vecchio. Only time will tell.

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.

See Kai Patterson's Settlement and Release: http://bit.ly/coFjJF
See AMBER Ready's Settlement and Release: http://bit.ly/dBy1vh

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.

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

The Federal Charge Against Kai Patterson Was Also Dismissed

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 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).
