Dual Jeans and the Strides of Crime. (Dualjeans Ltd)

These pages show why, documents to which I was entitled to, were withheld. About $1.5 million of my company's money disappeared from sight - including significant funds reserved for conservation.

In formal findings the Banking Ombudsman's Office described actions taken by the Bank of New Zealand against me as "inexplicable". My company and its money was simply stolen.

The accountancy firm S M Accounting, of Chapter 3, has been placed under formal investigation.

BDO Spicers, of Chapter 5, claims to be our fifth largest accountancy brand - with a branch near you. They disbursed about a million dollars of my company's. They advise that they have no records of my company.

Where did the Money go?

 Chapter 1 The Bank of New Zealand (click to read)

Law encyclopedia's definition of theft "A criminal act in which property belonging to another is taken without that person's consent.".

This article, quoting Dr John Clarke, offers expert advice on psychopaths and money. Knowledge the public should know - to stay safe from the charming and manipulative. His advice is to talk. Personal advice to me, from a highly regarded psychiatrist, is that I likely suffer one.

Preview Chapter 2 - Dirty Data: Gordon's Office & Point of Sale Supplies Ltd.

A new accounts data entry contractor, unknown to me, was appointed to record the transactions of my company, from January 2006. Gordon's Office & Point of Sale Supplies Ltd.

Prior to 'BDO Spicers Christchurch' of Chapter 5 'going to ground' I established that multiple transactions had been recorded to credit the co-director's current account, resultant of deposits that were not the co-director's money. One such transaction was simply a $10,000 transfer of funds from a separate company I half owned. I managed to establish that legal and accountancy fees had been placed to a newly created code labeled 'packaging'. 

BDO Spicer's current written advice is a black hole lurked see here. Here is the diagram of that black hole described January-March 2006. 

The book keeping MYOB datafile, that could easily be e-mailed in one minute, and that I was entitled to as a 50% shareholder and director - was withheld. This is despite numerous written requests from myself and legal counsel. Subtotals of the company's 'Performance and Position Statement' indicate significant personal expenses were recorded as those of the company causing a loss to my current account and share values. 

The only response to an e-mail sent directly to the address of Gordon's Office & Point of Sale Supplies Ltd, to a fair and reasonable request for transactional information of my company, was this. Her response was given after seeking advice by e-mail as to how she should respond.

Preview Chapter 3 - The Black Hole & S M Accounting Ltd This Chartered Accountancy firm was engaged and registered to both my companies without my consent or knowledge in mid April 2006, just after The Bank of New Zealand assisted with the theft of my whole company and its money on 16 March 2006 - as seen in Chapter 1 'The Bank of New Zealand'. The Chartered Accountant that performed the work on behalf of S M Accounting Ltd was Marilyn Varnam.

It seems Ms Varnam was working with the co-director's personal property lawyer as seen here and here. I am told Ms Varnam was introduced to the company by Gordon's Office & Point of Sale Supplies Ltd of Chapter 2.

Ms Varnam failed to provide visibility of the transactions of my company when asked in writing as did Gordon's Office & Point of Sale Supplies Ltd, The Bank of New Zealand and BDO Spicers.

Preview Chapter 4 - When housecleaners go bad Two six figure salary valuations were used in the company valuation prepared by BDO Spicers Christchurch. I sought visibility of these valuations but BDO Spicers Christchurch provided written advice that they did not have copies.

One valuation cover note that came to light shows it was prepared by the former boyfriend of the person being valued Take a look. He has failed to respond to fair and reasonable questions. The other valuation was associated with this document from the Canterbury Trade Development Corporation. Check it out.

There was a huge increase from the first general inquiry and also her historical income to the final valuations quoted. It was reported in mainstream media she works part time and derived her base patterns by unpicking others work. Those dodgy salary valuations were used by BDO Spicers to value the company.

Preview Chapter 5 - BDO Spicers Christchurch

I had first met them in court, in about 2001, along with about a dozen other dissatisfied customers, over the same issue.

In 2006 BDO Spicers were appointed by my lawyer to replace S M Accounting of chapter 3, it turned out they were business associates. BDO Spicers became the sole signatory to my companies' bank accounts and investigators into my concerns of the company. They prepared the companies annual 'Performance & Position Statements' and then a valuation report. Accountancy and legal fees to prepare the accounts increased by about a factor of 100 over historical cost. Fees were taken by deduction. Two years later BDO Spicers confirm the basic documents of the company were withheld from them and that they are unable to trace the transactions of the company. Interestingly, they had not sought my assistance interpret my own company's accounts yet I was the most qualified person to help.

BDO Spicers also advised in writing that they did not have copies of the plant and salary valuations quoted in their company valuation. It seems from the total of the plant valuation quoted, it was at liquidation auction value, including a whole fleet of new machinery. It was still being used and depreciating from cost price on the books to offset taxable income. It seems that valuation may have also excluded stock and sundry items of the whole factory. BDO Spicers also failed to provide visibility of the transactions of my company that they were sole signatory to, when asked to in writing. BDO Spicers also failed to provide visibility of the few transactions that made up my current account when asked in writing.

BDO Spicers then advised they would not be responding to questions of their work.

Correspondence has come to light that shows Ms Varnam of S M Accounting Ltd directed BDO Spicers to alienate me from my company. Legal counsel for Ms Varnam claims that BDO Spicers organised with her for the documents I sought be withheld from me. She also claims that BDO Spicers confirmed to her that I was entitled to those documents I was seeking. I was a director and 50% shareholder who should receive them in ten working days. The cost of withholding the documents, to all parties - is likely over $100k.

I am unable to sign a tax return having been advised in writing that the accountancy, that cost a fortune, is a guess. Interest and penalties from IRD are a phenominal sum. I am unable to claim my Family Tax Credits without filing a return.

BDO Spicers, sole signatory to my company's banks accounts, now confirm that they have no records of my company at all. It seems the black hole they reported in the accounts is spreading. They reconfirm their previous advice, that they will not respond to any further correspondence.  

It seems new season samples (described as patterns in the linked note) were not released when due, so staff ran out of work yet remained on full pay. BDO Spicers 'covered' for this by looking at the year as a whole, which avoided comment on the crash. BDO Spicers vaguely proposed the increase in the labour to sales ratio may be due to an increase in the wage rate. A glance at the wages book confirms this is false. BDO Spicers monthly spreadsheet of earnings that showed the crash was missing from the copy of the report received by my lawyer, from the court. I have asked questions as to who altered the report, removing the conflicts within it. No one will respond. 

Preview Chapter 6 - What Seems to be Significant Theft Written plans that have come to light are of significant theft from the business's new retail store. The larger tangible loss caused by theft from a business is reduced value of shares, of an asset able to generate profit. The store to be stolen from was developed without my consent or knowledge. I learned I owned a store when asked not to attend the opening. That store does not seem to exist on paper or valuation reports so the development and promotion of this asset seems likely to have been written off as an expense by BDO Spicers, sole signatory to bank accounts. The 'invisible shop' was a finalist in the 'top shop' award of the NZ Retailers Association.

A written plan came to light that shows that the money to be stolen from the shop was to be delivered to a Wanaka property developer - to repay a loan. That loan helped cashflow the litigation in which the property developer to receive the stolen cash had provided a character reference for the person to supply those stolen funds. I also note BDO Spicers Christchurch claimed significant vehicle expense for the year against the company. The only road trips I am aware of were to - wait for it - Wanaka. I note $3500 'cafe' was also claimed. It seems potentially I paid for the award winning store that does not exist, for its promotion, for the transport of the stolen money, and for the cafes along the way - all at a direct loss and a devaluation of my shares.

The store which seems to have be selling product at wholesale price for cash, is in my community. The local school teachers, parents, cafe staff, my neighbours on both sides, the librarian and bank staff all seem to be wearing the product. I even received flyers through my letterbox advertising the store. People give me sideways looks resultant of the emergency call outs canvassed in chapter 7 while wearing product that has plausably stolen from my company.

It is confirmed and accepted by all parties that our second company was stolen from on multiple occasions. The theft included an ex Ministry of Forestry motorised log hauler and a tractor. This second company was a bay on an island. It was sold at a one bidder auction at about $200,000 under valuation - after the first company which paid the mortgage suffered a reduction in earnings.

Preview Chapter 7 - 111 Emergency When I returned to my company with a document copier the police were called. They established that the supervisor who deals with cash sales only called the police as she was instructed to by the co-director over the phone, who was in Wanaka visiting her financier, who was to receive the money stolen from the company store as canvassed in Chaper Six.

The Police established, after parking 'crazily' blocking neighbouring businesses driveways, and after interviewing staff, that actually no one felt threatened at all. In fact I was seeking that my staff leave me alone to investigate. They had followed orders to impede my investigations. When it was reported back to the co-director the that the police were leaving she then instructed staff to instruct the police, to make me prove I was me. When that was done, the order came down the line that the police had to establish I had a connection to my company. About 15 of my staff I had employed were present. Employees loyal to who held the cheque book bearing the false identity of the company's.

A letter that has come to light, from SM Accountant to BDO Spicers, claiming that the 111 call to police was made by threatened staff and the call out was grounds to alienate me from my company. Perhaps S M Accounting actually wanted to alienate me from her work.

On another occasion, which I openly recorded to dictaphone, property including my personal property was being transferred from a trailer into a shed. When I noticed this and got out to take an inventory list from the public footpath, the person transferring my personal property simply called 111. Cuntstable Burke told me to vacate the area and deal with it through the lawyers. I returned to the crime scene while he was still there and he told me to scram or I'd be charged with wasting Police time. I went down to the local Police station to complain that they had just assisted with theft. They suggested I contact my insurance company and wished me good luck. The offender's lawyer proposed that an unknown 3rd party had stolen some of the property. Written requests that an inventory list of what remained, be provided, were ignored. That was the last I saw of my favorite toys.

I understand that every time a woman makes a call for help the Women's Refuge sends the victim pamphlets. A letter came to light from the Women's Refuge offering thanks for the donation from my company. So the Police were being used as pawns to help steal my stuff and alienate me from evidence, Women's Refuge were sending out pamphlets each time the Police were called, and the complainant was making donations to Women's refuge - effectively from my own current account. A small number of women undermine genuine calls for help. They undermine the Police. They undermine the courts. They undermine ACC.

The day after leading to what seems to have been the first signs of Liat Okin - the gossip of the 111 emergency Police calls for assistance reached Queenstown. I became the murder suspect - just after being commended for my outstanding efforts in New Zealand's longest search and rescue exercise. One minute I was Mr popular the next I was dropped without a thankyou or goodbye and they then went and recovered her body by these footprints I photographed about one km from the track in dense bush. The gossip grew to become that I was a serial killer. Turns out I had simply put in a significant effort, at significant cost to myself, to help a total stranger lost in the bush.

The Police have, as of May 2009, recommended me for St Johns Ambulance crew work. That means I am, in their view, fit to enter people homes; and assist men, women and children - in vulnerable situations.

Preview Chapter 9 - The Lawyer It seems that a longstanding relationship that he had with the director of BDO Spicers, should have been canvassed with all parties prior to that accountant be appointed - as independent.

He failed to present evidence of concern or attempt solicit an order from the court so that documents I was entitled by the Companies Act were not delivered.

In absence of advice as to how the settlement sum was arrived at, I have sought advice from my lawyer, directly, and then through the Law Society. There has been no response. I have sought in writing that my file be prepared for collection. There has been no response. He has been paid in full, by arbitrary deduction of $55,000.
