§ II JURISDICTION– VENUE & CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

All conditions precedent to the Plaintiffs’ suit have been performed or have

occurred.

2.1 DIVERSITY. Jurisdiction of this Court is invoked pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332

since there is complete diversity, as well as supplemental jurisdiction over certain

pendant common law claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1367. The elements of diversity

jurisdiction are satisfied as the parties in this case are citizens of different states.

Plaintiff Flores is domiciliary of Texas while Plaintiff Clarkson is a Canadian citizen of

Alberta, who desires to prosecute this action in the same venue, while Defendants are

domiciliary of different States. Accordingly, the parties to this action are completely

diverse. With regard to the amount-in-controversy requirement, Plaintiffs' amount-in-

controversy requirement is determinable to a "legal certainty" by prima face evidence

presented to the Court that Plaintiffs meet the threshold amount.1 Accepting the amount

pled as true, Plaintiffs' jurisdictional allegations satisfy the requirements of 28 U.S.C. §

1332.

2.2 PERSONAL JURISDICTION. Pursuant to Texas Long-Arm Statute the Court

sitting in diversity, may exercise personal jurisdiction over the nonresident Defendants

since the long-arm statute of Texas, the forum state, confers personal jurisdiction over

the Defendants. The exercise of such jurisdiction by The State of Texas is consistent with

1
See St. Paul Reinsurance Co., 134 F.3d at 1253.

§ II 12 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


due process. The Due Process Clause permits the Court to exercise personal jurisdiction

over the nonresident Defendants because the Defendants have purposefully and willfully

availed themselves of the benefits and protections of the State of Texas by establishing

“minimum contacts” with the State through selective and continuous and substantial

communications to Flores in Dallas County. Thusly, the exercise of jurisdiction by this

Court over Defendants does not offend "traditional notions of fair play and substantial

justice."2

The issue of personal jurisdiction is prima facie evident there is no need for

evidentiary hearing as the court must accept as true all uncontroverted allegations in the

complaint, and any factual conflicts must be resolved in favor of the Plaintiffs.3

The Defendants’ nonresident contacts4 were so extensive over in the period material

to this case, that the Defendants should have had reasonably expected, and, in fact, did

expect,5 to be hauled into a federal court in Texas.6

§ III BACKGROUND & SUMMARY OF THE FACTS AND ALLEGATIONS

This suit involves two separate frauds, theft of money activities, imparting

racketeering acts of, inter alia, coercion, extortion, forgery, obstruction of justice, and

wire fraud, ensuing out of two separate financial investment transactions involving an

international transactional funding process in the order of Twenty-five Billion Dollars

($25,000,000,000 USD) with just over twenty (20) principals.

3.1 THE INTERNET AGE GANGSTER. The Internet has given rise to a modern

form of organized crime that has made significant departures from the conventional gang.

The evolution is comparative to differences between the Russian Mafia and the Italian

Mafia styles of criminal employment. The modern Internet form is even more global

reaching and its behavior is more akin to the Russian Mafia which is more dynamic and

amorphous than is the well-established Italian Mafia which adheres to an astringent

hierarchical organization. This difference makes the Internet-based gangster more

effective and illusive to track without the use of sophisticated digital and network forensic

tools.

This modern criminal gestalt takes full advantage of the ephemeral nature of the

Internet and the commercial and social dependency of the World Wide Web. These

criminal organizations readily integrate whatever international criminal resources

necessary to emerge only for a duration necessary to accomplish an individual criminal

pursuit, then move on. Internet criminal enterprises necessarily make use of legitimate

commercial entities and their financial resources for operating in an emulsified

legitimate/quasi-legitimate/criminal mixture and focus on sophisticated complex

§ III 15 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


white-collar crimes almost exclusively. They frequently involve activities like insurance

fraud, credit card fraud, stocks and investment securities using the same tools as its

criminal parentage such as fraud, extortion, forgery, money laundering, wire fraud,

obstruction of justice, or otherwise, the elements of racketeering much more effectively.

Such structures can emerge, evolve and vanish, then reappear to suit the opportunity.

They involve the equivalent of a loosely tied Capo or Wise Guy supporting membership in

the structure. The one exception, is the necessary role of the Consigliere equivalent. This

player is one of the few location bound entities the organization may require. This position

is most often filled by individual lawyers or small partnerships, though on occasion, small

firms with partners having a strong mutual trust between the firm’s attorney and their

clients. The Internet lawyer exerts less influence than the older world Consigliere in the

administration of the business of the organization. Nonetheless, the modern gangster

attorney plays a vitally important role in the legal Petri dish of modern organized crime.

Internet crime control is illusive at best, and there is little doubt that Internet law

primarily addresses privacy7 concerns. This provides a safe haven for the Internet

criminal. The modern fraud criminal’s ability to load or discharge from one safe berth to

another berth has confounded almost every federal Circuit Appellate Court, save the

Ninth Circuit, which has managed to find a very small procedural fissure in the statutory

polder of the Decency Act . The modern Consigliere is well aware of this, and given

difficulty inherent in prosecuting fraud in either the civil or criminal significance, the

attorney maneuvers his client through the quagmire by influencing his client’s strategic

7
The Communications Decency Act (the “Decency Act”)

§ III 16 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


planning and creating slippery legal instruments that best effects the clients’ deceptive

trade practice and operational tactics. Additional necessary roles provided to the criminal

enterprise, are the protections provided to relationship by attorney/client privilege, public

perception, standing, and visibility in the community. They often serve as the liaison

between the ringleader and influential figures or legitimate individuals and entities.

3.2 THE INSURMOUNTABLE CIVIL PROSECUTION OF THE MODERN MOB

AND THEIR SUCCESS. Internet gangsters and even lone Internet criminals are aware

of the difficulty of mounting a successful suit against them. Likewise, they have even less

fear of state or federal authorities assisting their victims. They know well that

complainants will rarely get past the intake officer of any agency. The indifference to

individual citizen complaints to officials in federal agencies, assures the modern criminal

their crimes will pay off. A recent example, is, after the many red flags that might have

tipped officials off to Bernie Madoff’s fraud, and eight SEC investigations8 over sixteen

years, Madoff was not caught; it took essentially, a national financial catastrophe before

Madoff was caught and prosecuted.

Essentially, without overwhelming proof of the fraud particulars, it is difficult to get

past Rule 9(b), which the crime group’s attorney will surly attack with vigor, knowing full

well that no one will freely hand over evidence. All this makes criminal investigation

difficult, and civil action nearly insurmountable because of the very nature of the fraud

artifice, and the higher pleading standard required for fraud. This particular civil

procedure and agency indifference, is exploited by the illusive crime organization when

these complex and sophisticated networks are involved in litigation.

3.3 THE FIRST FRAUD SCHEME. The first fraud scheme is an international

investment private placement program built around a large complex structure of recently

created, established, and inactive entities. The scheme included the cooperation of other

entities used for funneling monies into the Defendants’ operation and for the distribution

and laundering of funds†6 out of the organization. The enterprise is operated as a single

association-in-fact international syndicate9 (the “Syndicate”); much of the operation

related in the instant cause beginning just prior to December18, 2009 (see figures below).

The Syndicate uses some legitimate financial machinery and instruments to lever large

funds from “prime” banks. The organization then conceals the funds, never paying out the

investors. The network construct of the Syndicate is quite complex like most white-collar

organized crime engaged in racketeering. It is a dynamic part of the operation continually

adding pipelines for the movement and distribution of funds. The following diagram is by

no means complete because of the Plaintiffs’ delayed discovery, but establishes the depth

and complexity of the Alicorn/Idlyc/BMW Majestic Syndicate. Prior to the collaboration

of the Gelazela-Reynolds-IDLYC and Woods-BMW Majestic enterprises with the Koster-

ALICORN group, both Reynolds and Gelazela had created a number of companies and

networks of their own. Koster eventually collaborated with IDLYC and BMW to form the

9
See FN 23; Alicorn/Idlyc/BMW as RICO Association-in-Fact Enteprise

§ III 18 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Syndicate with his attorney handling much of the Syndicate’s and Koster’s “issues”. See

illustrations below.

The Minnesota-based Koster developed numerous mechanisms to conceal the vast

majority of his operation with the aid and collusion of Kerim S. Emre, Thomas P. Harlan,

and John Childs. The facts below will establish the operational nature of this unified

collective (the “Collective”) that has evolved its own persona which comports to accord

with, and facilitate, the attainment of their business objectives and forms the

organization’s culture. The Collective exhibits an aggregate collective narcissism10 which

reflects what appears to be an elemental malignant narcissism11 expressed by individual

members. One of the shared characteristics among the Collective’s members, is their

frustratingly pleonastic employment of a doublespeak vernacular they have developed,

and use relentlessly. Koster, Emre, and Childs use their evasive language as a

prevarication, to create intentional misunderstanding, or as a vague response to avoid

Plaintiffs’ questions. They also use this technique in replies or reports in messages that

they wish to infer different meanings than that which was intended by the Plaintiffs. The

second trait shared among Koster, Emre, Harlan, and Childs is their Collective

identification that seems bound by a common emotional investment in the unrealistic

belief of invincibility and their self-absorbed social importance. Koster’s reactive behavior

of heightened arrogance is often expressed in verbal or messaging exchanges with the

Plaintiffs’ concerning their demands for proof and production. It is often a predictor of his

Fromm, Erich, The Heart of Man, 1964; see also,

§ III 19 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


evoked hostility. All of the Collective’s members seem to react with enmity in response to

criticism of the group. The Plaintiffs’ continual demands for adherence to fiduciary duty

appears to challenge the Collective’s integrity and a threat to the group's positive image

to which they react aggressively. Upon disinterested observation and examination of the

pleadings, and the evidence incorporated from the exhibits, the observer will readily

identify and assimilate these attributes as the unvarying and habitual method of the

Collective’s operating procedure.

Koster aided by the Firm’s lawyer, Thomas Harlan, created various instruments that

would lead most of the Collective’s clients to believe they had no recourse if ALICORN

failed to perform, even if the program was riddled with fraud and entrenched corruption.

Koster used Childs as his primary resource for the purchase of financial instruments, and

Childs advanced himself as an independent contractor. Nonetheless, Childs would engage

Koster’s clients as an ALICORN agent, often working closely with Koster’s clients as

would an account manager.

Emre on the other hand, was presented by Koster as a broker who managed the client

account. Emre solicited, advised and managed the account. Moreover, Emre’s primary

function was as the Front Man that ran interference for Koster. Emre maintained a

canopy of anonymity for Koster, and aided in the concealment of the company’s activities.

Though Koster always referred to Emre in the context of Emre’s relationship with the

Plaintiffs as a broker, Emre seemed to resent being “the broker”. As the Syndicate’s

transactions became more involved, and Emre completely managed the Plaintiffs’

account, and other functions for the Syndicate, the more Emre seemed to assume, or to

be given, the more important role of an Underboss in the Syndicate. It was initially

§ III 20 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


impossible to contact Koster directly. Koster exclusively used conference calls with Emre

which he represented the phone number to be the company’s main number. Later it

would be uncovered, that it had been Emre’s cell phone in which he used three-way-

calling to simulate an office phone network. It wasn’t until Clarkson discovered and

informed Flores (Exhibit 50) about Koster’s cell phone number appearing in an

advertisement (Exhibit 51) unrelated to Koster financial business.

3.4 THE SECOND FRAUD SCHEME. The second fraud consists of a

ALICORN/HALL/BEREA/CBS Gold Buy/Sell program (the

“ALICORN/HALL/BEREA/CBS Enterprise”), which was purportedly substituted for

the performance failure of the first program. It was actually used to dissuade, delay or

otherwise disrupt Plaintiffs investigation and eventual litigation. The second motive for

the delay was to allow time for the moving of assets, and to give members of the Syndicate

time for covering up and purging of physical and other circumstantial evidence.

The substitute schema would evolve into another unlawful taking of the Plaintiffs’

revenues generated from the Richard Hall/Berea Gold Buy/Sell transaction. Both of the

schemes were contrived, and both, nothing less than mala in sese.

Moreover, the second artifice was created as a tool to delay, dissuade or otherwise

prevent the discovery of the larger international scheme that came under intense scrutiny

by the Plaintiffs. Koster and Emre were aware of the Plaintiffs’ intense investigation of

their syndicate operations, and they continued a pattern to impede those investigations.

Koster came into conflict with Flores after Koster stated he was questioned by SEC

authorities and later withheld information concerning wire and telephone communications

§ III 21 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


with Woods and Gelazela. Flores, admonished Koster on several occasions about Koster’s

intentional obstruction of justice and pressed Koster to cease aiding and abetting the

other members of their Syndicate operation and their commissions of crimes. Flores,

stated to Koster, that Koster had first hand information and other evidence, which he

withheld from the Plaintiffs as well. Flores expressed that he would inform the SEC if

Koster would provide to him the evidence. However, Flores stated he couldn’t approach

the SEC or Justice Department with only heresy. By all accounts, Koster, Harlan, Childs

and Emre were aware of the criminal objectives of the Syndicate. Shortly thereafter, it

became apparent to the Plaintiffs that Koster, Harlan, Emre, and Alicorn were

inextricably intertwined with the activities of Woods, Reynolds, Gelazela, Idlyc and BMW

Majestic.

3.4.1 The Syndicate’s international private placement program incorporated

financial transactional funding12 in the order of Twenty-five Billion Dollars U.S.

($25,000,000,000 USD) with twenty (20) principals according to Koster. The said

transactional funding platform and related financial instruments were created within

an association-in-fact business enterprise in which Defendants Woods, Gelazela,

Reynolds, Koster, Harlan, and Emre presented security for investment funds based

on a stated written bank guarantee on a Deutsche Bank SBLC instrument and

monetization of that SBLC through HSBC Hong Kong.

12
Transactional funding “… Essentially, this is a type of service where investors … are given the
opportunity to use a type of loan called the bridge loan, that allows you to undertake the simultaneous
closings safely and with the backing of money provided by the loan. … With transactional funding and the
bridge loan under it, you are already conducting valid closings that give you the opportunity to make money
out of opportunities in the form of simultaneous closings.” Source: Duncan W ierman - Author:

§ III 22 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


3.4.2 The Defendants promised returns on the investment trades which were

alleged to have been scheduled trades with subscribed associated buyers. The SBLC

instrument was reportedly transmitted to and receive by HSBC Hong Kong and

returns paid to a New Zealand company and reported to have been paid to certain

U.S. principals. The balance which was due to the Plaintiffs and others, was not paid

and was alleged to have remained in Hong Kong or transmitted elsewhere to avoid

paying investors and thereby effecting a laundering scheme of the Defendants ill-

gotten funds. The Alicorn profit-sharing partnership consisted of about four partners,

of which Flores one, and Clarkson his partner. The Syndicate used Koster’s Alicorn

Capital Management LLC company as a funneling tool overseen by Koster to move

funds into the IDLYC/BMW investment platform. The following Gelazela and

Reynolds corporate networks diagrams, and the schematic of the Syndicate and

ALICORN/HALL/BEREA/CBS Enterprise, illustrate the architecture and process

of the two fraud schemes, becoming eventually concurrent in their operation. The

Defendants used a complex network of their companies and other indirect network

resources to accomplish their theft of money, frauds and alleged criminal activities.

3.4.3 The Syndicate schematic, and the ALICORN/HALL/BEREA/CBS

Enterprise below, is deduced from digital and Internet forensic investigation,

documentary, and other evidence of which some accuracy is dependent on

representations made by the Defendants.

3.4.4 Flores’ purpose for position as a partner was to extend negotiated

commercial primary funding from a well-established international developer, source of

his primary funding, for a slate of motion pictures consisting of five producers, having

responsibility to five production crews, related talent and other resources. Among the

groups affected by the Defendants fraud is the Nez Perce Nation and the Affiliated

Tribes of the Northwest. The groups’ have made great efforts, and commitments

toward the production of the film Blanket of the Sun, a project of one of the producers.

Their efforts and commitments included three thousand participants from the Tribes

and the Nation, use of their sacred lands, period wardrobe and effects, all in the

dedication to this people’s intention to a long forestalled preservation of their culture.

Additionally, the use of funds from the primary funding included initial purchase of

facilities in San Antonio, Texas in which the local government had gone to extensive

efforts to accommodate the development of the production facilities and related

production needs. Flores had alternative sources to secure the funding from the

international developer, however, the Defendants assured Flores they would deliver

their payout in sufficient time for Flores to secure his primary funding, as their

financial product was secured by a written guarantee from a large international bank.

Koster and Emre were well aware and had full understanding of the liabilities and

rigorous requirements for scheduled payments.

3.4.5 Scott Anthony Koster, Mark Alan Gelazela, William Chandler Reynolds,

Thomas P. Harlan, Kerim S. Emre, and Steven E. Woods, inter alios, established the

international Alicorn-Idlyc-BMW Majestic Syndicate, then, after receiving

partnership funds, expropriated all control over the funds, and secreted or otherwise

§ III 26 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


censored documents and information as well as the dissemination of the information

legally due the Plaintiffs. Defendants through an enterprise of their creation, engaged

in the international scheme extending from the United States across the Pacific to,

among other places, Hong Kong, People's Republic of China (PRC); Manila, Republic

of the Philippines; Australia; Canada; and New Zealand to eventually defraud the

Plaintiffs and others through false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, and

promises.

Koster, by his own accounts, funneled the monies of the profit-sharing partnership

into the large financial transaction, through Idlyc Holding Trust LLC into the control

of Gelazela, Reynolds, Woods and BMW Majestic LLC. A self-styled boss in the

financial industry, Koster saw himself having equal footing with Gelazela, Reynolds

and Woods, and joined the Syndicate conspiracy and intentionally, willfully, and by

design, established his place in the enterprise whose aggregate and components were

mere tools or business conduits of one-another.

3.4.6 Kerim S. Emre by his own account “negotiates direct buys from major

motion picture and television studios” in his position as “VP of Marketing”.13 Gelazela

also goes by his Hollywood alias “Mark Zella”, and purports to be a resident of

Marina del Rey, California actor, producer, and screenwriter. Both Emre and

Gelazela appear to be intimately engaged with the film and television industries and

would be aware of the damages and harm Defendants would, and eventually did, inflict

upon the Plaintiffs. Emre, worked directly with Koster promoting their financial

13
Exhibit 16

§ III 27 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


products and managing the Plaintiffs’ account. Koster, Gelazela, Reynolds, Woods,

Harlan, and Emre through their Syndicate hatched a labyrinth of fraudulent plans to

form a private placement platform and bank guarantee funding program. The

program extensively used the telephone voice wires and the Internet to execute and

further the scheme to defraud the Plaintiffs.

3.4.7 Flores was contacted by Kerim Emre who represented a company,

inferring the due diligence effort from another and separate project of which Flores

was familiar. Emre offered his "private placement instruments" that would enable

short term payments needed to increase the size of the security instrument to Flores’

funding provider, Prosperity International LLC. The enlargement of the loan was

needed for the increased cash flow requirements for a completed motion picture film’s

prints and advertising.

3.4.8 In the instant case, the Syndicate operated much like the highly publicized

Bernie Madoff who kept investors happy by sending statements showing good, steady

returns to a few people and sending bogus reports out, which prosecutors said were

fiction. Similarly, Koster made assurances, promises, and commitments of the security

and status of the partnership’s financial instrument in an even larger scheme.

Defendants promulgated the solicitation and promotion of their financial products,

advancing the same business model and operational attributes of themselves14 directly

influencing and impinging upon the social fabric and the public good through their

14
“W e [Alicorn Capital Management LLC] can provide a proven track record in all of these fields,
with full disclosure and transparency.” (emphasis added) See, Exhibit 19

§ III 28 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


fraudulent inducement. (e.g., Exhibit 16, Exhibit 17, Exhibit 18, Exhibit 19, Exhibit 20,

Exhibit 21)

3.4.9 Within weeks after the transaction start of December 18, 2009, Koster

began a pattern of omissions, and misrepresentations refusing to provide proof of his

status reports and denying access to any verifiable documents that would demonstrate

the legitimacy of his claims. When a demand became heated, Koster manufactured a

Straw Man to distract and delay the delivery of proof to the Plaintiffs. Koster in the

end, refused to consider providing verification, saying that doing so would consume his

time and he considered such to be "babysitting" as he had other important business

commitments requiring his full attention.

3.4.10 Plaintiffs relentlessly gave Koster and the Defendants legal notice of civil

and criminal law, including Koster’s duties as a fiduciary, and the liabilities from the

damages that resulted by his flagrant disregard for regulations, statutes, and

obligations. Defendants were given legal warnings based on clearly asserted facts or

legal principle over a period in excess of fifteen months to which Koster responded

only by silence. Legal warning provided well-supported citations of law and precedent

so that Koster, Harlan, and their associates in the Syndicate would be fully informed

and have complete cognisance and understanding of their actions. Koster, Harlan and

Emre, in behalf of themselves and their associates in the Syndicate, remained

arrogant and unresponsive, refusing to alter their otherwise unlawful or illegal

behavior.

3.4.11 After months of continuous inquiries and demands for verifiable

documentation of the transactions concerning the ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW

§ III 29 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


transaction, Koster, Childs and Emre only replied with phone calls and e-mail

intimating that the funds would be delivered, maintaining their position not to produce

any verifiable documents or information. These tactics would persist for both the

IDLYC/BMW transaction, which Koster eventually, some how, dissociated, and the

substituted Richard Hall/Berea Gold Buy/Sell transaction until a recent demand for

production of documents, as fully set forth in the recital of the facts below.

3.4.12 Koster was continually informed of the substantial damages being accrued

as a result of failures to perform and the continued delay of those performances

resulting in lost revenues and losses related to missing critical marketing windows. As

well, Koster had full knowledge of the potential loss to Flores of his original $100MM

funding instrument for which Flores, relying on Emre’s and Koster’s assurances and

statements of the bank guarantees, released his collateral for the primary funding

instrument which was lost at the end of February of 2010. Again, when the PSP

defaulted the second time, Flores lost a second funding source of $165MM in March

because of the Defendants performance default. Though Flores castigated the

Defendants concerning the harm they were inflicting upon communities, crews, casts

production people and other communities by their unconscionable conduct,

Defendants remained unmoved and unconcerned by the damages and harm their

actions had inflicted. To this, Defendants responded that these people would come

crawling back later, intentionally affronting Flores’ personal and professional

responsibility concerns and sensibilities from which the collective damages, and

further ensuing harm and malice of the Defendants, brought about this litigation.

§ III 30 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


3.4.13 On or about June 14, 2010, Koster purported to have exchanged the Alicorn

PSP performance liability for the partnership’s placement into Richard Hall’s "Gold

Buy/Sell" transaction which “would be levered up” to reach the promised IDLYC

returns. Then on or about August 4, 2010 Mr. Emre stated that the first payment from

Flores’ Gold Buy/Sell participation would occur on August 10, 2010.

3.4.14 It wasn't until September 1, 2010 at or about 12:23 PM CST, that the

intermediary agent or facilitator of the Gold Buy/Sell transaction, Richard Hall, was

introduced on a conference call with Koster, affirming the participation of Flores in

the substituted Gold Buy/Sell transaction. However, the September 1st meeting was

already twenty-two days past the stated transaction date and no buy/sell agreement

had been delivered. Promises were made by Emre and Koster counseled by Harlan,

that the transaction would be resolved to the Plaintiffs’ satisfaction. Nonetheless,

Defendants’ continued their breaches of their fiduciary duties of care and loyalty.

3.4.15 Even after all that had transpired, Koster, aided by Harlan, attempted to

sneak through a measure to take Plaintiffs out of the direct returns of the Gold

Buy/Sell transaction which Defendants promised and Plaintiffs agreed upon.

Defendants stealthily replaced the initial understanding and agreement with only a

loan payoff for an Intermediary who would take the profits instead. In response,

Flores and Gary Grab, attorney at law, representing Clarkson, jointly demanded

production of the Gold Buy/Sell transaction partnership agreement, a copy of the

SBLC instrument, and the Gold Buy/Sell contract. Koster insisted the documents

were being generated by Richard Hall and would be delivered shortly thereafter.

Though copies of several documents were delivered to Flores, no copies of the

§ III 31 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


requested financial instruments with the information requested by Flores and Grab

were delivered. It is factually apparent, given the evidence at hand, that the acts of the

Defendants, relating to the Gold Buy/Sell transaction (the "Gold Transaction"), were

made with malice aforethought and the willful intent of constructive fraud, by and

through Defendants’ breach of fiduciary duty, their fraud in the factum, fraud in the

inducement, fraud in law, and actual fraud.

3.4.16 Further factual exploration of these events, unveil Defendants’ deceptive

intent and outcome that were intentional, willful and contrived and executed by

interstate wires over the telephone and Internet and is proof of intended detrimental

reliance being among the sine qua non requirements of satisfying the proximate cause

of Defendants fraud.

3.4.17 Plaintiffs have made every effort to resolve this issue to no avail and have

no alternative but to bring this Complaint before the Court for resolution of the issues

presented herein.

§ IV STATEMENT OF FACTS AND ALLEGATIONS

Plaintiffs incorporate by reference from the records, Plaintiffs’ Exhibits Volumes 1, 2,

3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, the Certified Domestic Business Records contained there within,

pursuant to, and in accordance with Fed. R. Evid. 803(6), FRE 801(d)(2), and FRE 803(6)

asserting that, regarding the aforesaid Certified Domestic Business Records, there is

substantive foundation for heresy exception, in that the source of information or method

or circumstances of preparations are trustworthy.15 The facts having their existence in all

of the exhibits are hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated

herein with the same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

4.1 FIRST SOLICITATION

4.1.1 Shortly before December 2, 2009, FLORES was contacted in Dallas on his

telephone by Mr. Kerim Emre. Emre stated he had become aware that Flores’ was

searching for an additional letter-of-credit (“LOC”) or standby-letter-of-credit

(“SBLC”) to purchase. Flores informed Emre he required the financial instrument be

15
The standard for authenticating computer records is the same as for authenticating other
records. The degree of authentication does not vary simply because a record happens to be (or has been at
one point) in electronic form. See United States v. DeGeorgia, 420 F.2d 889, 893 n.11 (9th Cir. 1969); United
States v. Vela, 673 F.2d 86, 90 (5th Cir. 1982). But see United States v. Scholle, 553 F.2d 1109, 1125 (8th Cir.
1977) (stating in dicta that "the complex nature of computer storage calls for a more comprehensive
foundation"). For example, witnesses who testify to the authenticity of computer records need not have
special qualifications. The witness does not need to have programmed the computer himself, or even need to
understand the maintenance and technical operation of the computer. See, UnitedStates v. M oore, 923 F.2d
910, 915 (1st Cir. 1991) (citing cases). Instead, the witness simply must have first-hand knowledge of the
relevant facts to which he or she testifies. See generally, United States v. Whitaker, 127 F.3d 595, 601 (7th
Cir. 1997) (FBI agent who was present when the defendant's computer was seized can authenticate seized
files) United States v. M iller, 771 F.2d 1219, 1237 (9th Cir. 1985) (telephone company billing supervisor can
authenticate phone company records); M oore, 923 F.2d at 915 (head of bank's consumer loan department
can authenticate computerized loan data). Evidence that a computer program is sufficiently trustworthy so
that its results qualify as business records according to Fed. R. Evid. 803(6) also establishes the authenticity
of the record. Compare, United States v. Saputski, 496 F.2d 140, 142 (9th Cir. 1974).

able to supplement an increase of a loan for a motion picture production slate in order

to accommodate the cash flow for a completed film requiring prints and

advertisement.16 During the telephone conversation Emre assured Flores that he and

his business partners, including Scott Koster, could solve Flores’ immediate needs

with a high quality private placement program, allowing Flores to enlarge his loan

instrument and affording the immediate cash flow requirements for the new film slate

addition and insure the March-release of the completed film.

4.1.2 Flores explained to the Defendants the critical nature of changing the

funding mechanism by incorporating their proposed instruments.*3 Flores further

elucidated upon this need to maintain his obligations and responsibilities to the

producers, crews, talent, involved in his slate of films as well as other commitments to

humanitarian documentaries and production commitments to the City of San Antonio,

Texas. Flores stated the Defendants would have to assure him that their financial

product would not interfere with his ability to maintain the funding commitments of

senior funding resources, more specifically, Prosperity International.

4.2 12/2/2009 - EMRE SOLICITS AND OFFERS FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS.

4.2.1 On December, 2, 2009 4:16 PM CST,17 Kerim Emre proposed and offered,

by wire over the Internet, a Forty-million dollar ($40,000,000) SBLC financial

$1,128,600 in factoring fees. (Exhibit 3)

4.2.2 On December 3, 2009 9:23 AM, Kerim Emre notified Flores, by wire over

the Internet, that he would have the SBLC paperwork “shortly” and was also trying to

get the escrow paperwork at the same time. Emre provided instruction, advice and

stated his belief that the instrument would satisfy FLORES’ requirements for his

negotiated senior financing from Michael F. Burgess’ (Managing Member) of

Prosperity International LLC. Later on 12/3/2009 at 12:45 PM, 3:16 PM, 4:05 PM and

other times by telephone Kerim Emre inquired on information and metrics needed to

satisfy the amount of the letter-of-credit to satisfy the Prosperity financing

specifications.*3 (Exhibit 4)

4.2.3 On December 8, 2009 at 11:48 AM, 2:00 PM, and 3:34 PM, Kerim Emre, by

wire over the Internet, completed the transaction documents, managed the execution

of the purchase for Flores of an irrevocable and assignable Bank Guarantee (“BG”)

for fifty-five million dollars ($55,000,000.00) from a Top World Bank. Emre stated the

BG would be delivered through a separate agreement from the source of the collateral

providing the BG under the basic terms as follows:

4.2.4 On 12/9/2009 at 3:33 PM, Kerim Emre provided the escrow service

information that would be used for the bank guarantee payment transfers to

Prosperity International LLC (“Prosperity”) and related fees. Later at 6:07 PM,

Emre sent wire instructions that a bank guarantee (“BG”) would be executed as soon

as Prosperity International is ready to fund. Kerim requested bank coordinates where

the BG was to be delivered to Prosperity’s Account and how the Bank Irrevocable

Commercial Payment Order or MT103.23 would issue.

4.3 12/10/2009 - 1ST FRAUD SCHEME (Alicorn/Idlyc/BMW Majestic)

4.3.1 The Solicitation & Alicorn Introduction – Koster/Idlyc Offer. On

December 10, 2009 Kerim Emre called Flores by telephone from a domestic phone

number (951) 719-4819 to solicit and present an additional opportunity in which his

business partner would provide the P&A cash flow for his Canadian picture at Voice

4.3.2 From Friday, December 10, 2010 through December 14th, Kerim Emre and

his business partner Scott A. Koster at Alicorn Capital Management LLC initiated

conference calls by wire from phone number indicated on caller ID as (951) 719-4819 to

discuss their program:

4.3.2.1 Emre and Koster promoted IDLYC as a well established private

placement fund institution whose principal, Mark A. Gelazela, had close personal

relations and strong business ties with Scott Koster and Alicorn. IDLYC

purportedly used a "proprietary strategy pre-negotiated and secure " involving an

active, controlled and complex investment structure whereby PSP’s monies would

be secured by a letter of credit or standby letter of credit issued by Deutsche Bank

and monetize by HSBC Hong Kong in a written guarantee by the Platform in

order to protect the PSP’s funds, stabilize returns and protect against dramatic

trading market fluctuations.

4.3.2.2 Defendants again advanced the IDLYC principals as highly

experienced in international banking having established business relationships

with top banks including HSBC Holdings PLC, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse

Group. Defendants represented that IDLYC purchased bank guarantees and

other financial instruments, including Mid Term Notes (MTN's) from the banks in

very large blocks on behalf of a large collection of investor/lenders for substantial

discounts. It was stated by Koster that the platform’s program was guaranteed in

writing by Deutsche Bank. Emre and others, as well, would in turn, take a

substantial portion of the weekly proceeds from the beneficiary Flores, in addition

to Emre’s broker fee. The consensus by the Defendants was that the IDLYC

§ IV 37 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


payment would pay for the SBLC and Flores could release his equity from the

Michigan. Flores could then use another instrument to increase the loan size, since

the Deutche Bank letter of credit was purchased and the HSBC Hong Kong funds

were in place. The PSP payout funds arrival should occur on January 4, 2010 and

be distributed by the escrow attorney on or about January 12, 2010, depending on

the wire transfers to and from the escrow account paymaster.

4.3.2.3 Defendants articulated they would place the Plaintiffs’ money in the

PSP and Flores, would in turn, own a proportional interest in the IDLYC PPP

platform which was guaranteed in writing by a secured financial instrument.

Flores asked Koster to provide the due diligence report to him, and Koster

pledged that “his friend Mark”, Mark Gelazela,19 had a successful financial trading

company which Koster had substantial knowledge, experience and had previously

obtained successful results with Mark Gelazela’s transactions for other clients.

4.5.1 On 12/11/2009 10:22 AM, Kerim Emre, by wire over the Internet, delivered

“the JV agreement for the trade program.” (Exhibit 5) In essence, the metrics of the

PSP was summarized the PSP Agreement Overview:

“Alicorn Capital Management has a direct working relationship with a PPP


that has a surplus of holdings in the amount of 110,000,000,000.00USD (One
Hundred and Ten Billion Dollars) in Bank Guarantee (BG's) with the
following Financial Institutions; HSBC Hong Kong, Standard Chartered
Hong Kong, Deutsche Bank Hong Kong. Our company has been provided
with the opportunity to obtain these instruments at a discounted fee, to be
taken directly back into the Platforms own programs. The profit for this
program, based on these instruments, is 15% weekly or better, guaranteed
in writing by the platform. This is a limited entry offer. The following buy in
points will allow you the a [sic] return of the corresponding amount based
off of the issuance of a 100MUSD Bank Guarantee.” (emphasis added)

4.5.2 On December 11, 2009 5:40 PM, Kerim Emre sent the following message by

wire over the Internet summarizing the payout terms, PSP payout summary, his fees

and attached the Alicorn Profit-Sharing Agreement and Fee Protection Agreement.

Emre: “Hi Lance, Just to be safe, I am sending you the PDF as a doc file. I
also included the FPA for the trade. You will be getting approximately
1.8M/week, of which 16.7% will be the brokers' fees, which will leave you, in
your pocket, 1.5M based on the 1.8M being paid out.” (Exhibit 6)

4.6 12/14/2009 - FIRST REQUEST FOR DISCLOSURE. Throughout the period

from about 12/14/2009 through 12/30/2009 Flores made numerous telephone calls to Emre

at his phone number 951-719-4819 or 951-224-6844 requesting full verification of

associated contracts including information of the partners in the PSP. Flores further

requested that he be copied on the banking and financial transactions related to the PSP

transactions, the IDLYC and partnerships’ revenues. In that period, Flores executed a

non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in order that he could maintain due diligence on the

integrity of Alicorn and IDLYC transactions. Emre insured Flores that full disclosure

and transparency†2 would be afforded to Flores upon execution of the NCND (Non-

Circumvention Non-Disclosure Agreement) and as each contract was completed. Shortly

thereafter the mutual non-disclosure was executed.

4.6.1 On 12/14/2009 11:27 AM, Kerim Emre, by wire over the Internet, sent
wiring instructions for the trade partnership (Exhibit 7) to:

4.6.2 On 12/14/2009 3:43 PM, Kerim Emre, by wire over the Internet, sent wire

instructions for Flores to John T Childs. At 1:02 PM, Kerim Emre delivered a non-

of the partnership’s structure, finances, transactions and the operations of the PSP.†2

4.7 12/15/2009 - SYNDICATE’S COMPULSION TO SOLICIT FUNDS FOR PSP

4.7.1 On 12/15/2009 2:51 AM, Kerim Emre sent a message by wire over the

Internet to check on funds. At 10:18 AM, Kerim Emre instructed: “… please make

sure that the wire goes directly into to [sic] Scott's account rather than into John's

account. This should speed things up and get us in by the deadline.”

4.7.2 On 12/16/2009 1:26 PM, Kerim Emre, by wire over the Internet, stating that

he was “[g]etting calls from Scott's [Koster] people22 to find out where we are with

sending the wire …”

Later, at 1:49 PM, Kerim Emre wrote: “… they are nagging me at this point about

At 2:42 PM, Kerim Emre wrote: “As you can see I am getting some grief on this at

this moment. Where are we at? It shouldn't take this long to get the wire

conformation from them? Did they just not send it? ‘I don’t think he understands.

And later at 4:07 PM, Flores responded to Emre with the information and

identification of the first “funds resource for the SBLC …”

At 6:32 PM, Kerim Emre acknowledge Flores’ message; then at 9:48 PM, Kerim

Emre wrote: “… Just wanted to let you know the 80k didn't hit Scott's account today.

Hopefully you can get me the receipt still and it hits his account tomorrow.”

4.7.3 On 12/17/2009 9:42 AM, Kerim Emre, by wire over the Internet, established

a number to send wiring information to the Syndicate: “… (925) 407-8440 is the fax

number we need to use. [Interlink Global Messaging]” At 3:13 PM, Kerim Emre

inquired again about the deposit of funds for the Alicorn PSP; at 4:05 PM, Kerim

Emre wrote again that the funds hadn’t arrived and “they moved ahead without us.”

4.7.4 On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 9:31 AM, Flores, by wire over the Internet,

informed Kerim Emre that the funds would be delivered that day. At 11:43 AM,

Kerim Emre acknowledges the message and that information would be forwarded;

and at 10:15 PM, Kerim Emre wrote: “… Here is the copy of the wire confirmation

message” confirming the receipt of the funds with bank confirmation attached

(Exhibit 8).

4.7.5 On 12/21/2009 4:48 PM, Kerim Emre, by wire over the Internet, informs

Flores that he updated Flores’ banking coordinates with Global Paymaster, LLC, the

PSP’s paymaster (for PSP escrow account).

4.8 FALLACY & DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICE – 1ST Fraud Scheme – The

Alicorn/Idlyc/BMW Syndicate23

4.8.1 Modus Operandi. The underlying conspiracy to commit fraud. It is

necessary at this point in the enumeration of the Statement of Facts, to set forth the

context of the allegations and the facts because of the complexity and deception that is

intrinsic in fraud claims of this nature, international breadth24 and scope. Essentially

there are two parts to the Syndicate fraud formula. The first part is the conspiracy. Its

construct is formulated acts, expressions, omissions, and concealment, that are

calculated to deceive the Plaintiffs to their disadvantage, after the inducement or the

fraud calculated by inducement is effected. These contrivances lie dormant until a

catalyst is introduced that destabilizes the Syndicate’s commercial operation scheme

through a challenge to the legitimacy of the Defendants’ activities and commercial

endeavor. The second part of the fraud scheme is initiated after they have failed to

perform through their initial breach of fiduciary duty resulting in the unleashing of

their arsenal of fraud constructs.

23
The Alicorn/Idlyc/BMW Syndicate is a group of persons associated-in-fact for the common
purposes of investment contracts and of conducting the fraudulent scheme described in this Complaint,
namely, fraudulently inducing investments that were supposed to be, and were represented to be,
safeguarded and prudently managed. As a result, Syndicate defendants constitute an association-in-fact
enterprise within the meaning of Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), 18 U.S.C.
§§ 1961(4) and 1962(c). During all relevant times, the Syndicate was engaged in activities affecting
interstate and foreign commerce, and conducting the fraudulent scheme described herein.
24
Scott A. Koster on Thursday February,4, 2010 at 11:20 : “… As I have outlined to your brokers,
there are over 20 principals totalling [sic] greater than 25 Billion USD in transactional funding that is taking
place.” (Exhibit 23) (Later exposition will disclose an international network clients as well as corporations,
agents related to , inter alia, Alicorn, IDLYC, BMW Majestic LLC, incorporating the services of the largest
international banks across the globe)

§ IV 44 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


4.8.1.1 Fraudulent Inducement. The inducement is constructed by 1) locating

legitimate or seemingly legitimate financial products, 2) identifying prospective

clients and propose the financial product by presenting credible entities,

3) offering transaction security through written bank guarantees from credible

sources, 4) requiring legitimate financial industry and government disclosure

conformance of the client through Client Information Summary (“CIS”) containing

confidential information and 5) requiring execution of a stringent Non-Disclosure

so that Defendants can effectuate their standard procedures and policies25 with full

disclosure and transparency of the PSP business’ affairs. The foundation of the

Defendants’ solution begins with the solicitation of clients through personal

business networking connections and relationships,26 thus, substantiating their

assertions using associations with large institutions and their diverse network of

Internet presence demonstrating Defendants’ numerous relationships with

legitimate resources.27

Lastly, the financial offering in the PSP Agreement sets forth guarantees and

security of the transaction (see, Agreement Overview ¶ 4.5.1, pg. 40). This is the

“Inducement” part of Defendants’ fraud by inducement. At this point of the

process, the proposition and offerings appear relatively legitimate and gives no

rise for suspicion of criminal intent.

25
(FN 3, pg. 7)
26
… ; such as Emre’s then ongoing due diligence and offerings by Flores’ business colleagues and
associates involved and working on unrelated projects.

§ IV 45 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


4.8.1.2 A Catalyst for the Fraud. It is the next part of the Syndicate’s formula

that contains extensive fraud. The Plaintiffs’ challenges to the Defendants’ conduct

that is well outside ordinary business and financial industry’s standards and

practices. This would include the demand for proof by bona fide verifiable

documentation of the PSP-IDLYC performance was the catalyst that initiated the

Defendants’ reaction. This was the condition where each time a challenge or

demand for proof was made, the Defendants initiated an extensive plan of deceit

through their actions that follow:

4.9 12/14/2009 — 12/30/2009 KOSTER INITIATES A PATTERN OF

CAMOUFLAGED ARTIFICES

4.9.1 The First Straw Man. Following Flores’ demands for authentication from

the period of 12/14/2009 through 12/30/2009,28 Emre responded by wire over the

Internet on 1/4/2010 1:17 PM, writing: “… Here are the redacted contracts of the

trade that Scott is using for the buy/sell trade we got you in. [sic]…” (emphasis

added).

4.9.1.1 The document proffered as authentic documentation of the PSP and

verification of the IDLYC PPP execution of the Deutsche Bank Hong Kong SBLC

instrument, the HSBC Hong Kong or Standard Chartered Hong Kong

monetization of the SBLC, and the documentation to verify the performance of the

Platform and related transactions was completely defaced by redaction. This

28
¶ 4.5.2, pg. 41

§ IV 46 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


rendered the document unreliable, devoid of authenticity and without any

verifiable substance that the IDLYC PPP was executed or that the PPP was

genuine. (Exhibit 9) Clearly, the document was unaccommodating to the accepted

disclosure understanding and obligations of the Defendants. In an overtly

fraudulent method of responsibility and compliance to producing material

documents of critical and substantive import to Flores, the Defendants produced

with incontrovertible scienter, an unverifiable completely discreditable copy of the

alleged “contracts of the trade” that was intended to mislead with a reckless

disregard for the truth.

4.9.1.2 Plaintiff, in turn, responded by calling Emre demanding disclosure of

the information so that the transaction could be verified by the Plaintiff. No

response to Plaintiff’s demand for verification or correction of Defendants’ of non-

disclosure defects have been forthcoming to date.‡2

4.9.2 Second Straw Man. On 1/5/2010 8:08 PM, the next day, Kerim Emre wrote

by wire over the Internet:

“Bond/BG ISIN number XS0205433377 that the instrument is


going to be issued on.”29

Emre’s response provided an ISIN number which Flores could only verify that a

financial instrument was issued by Deutsche Bank AG London (Exhibit 11) as were

thousands of others issued by the bank. The value of the information was useless as

there was no proof that this financial instrument secured the PPP nor did it offer to

29
Exhibit “J”

§ IV 47 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


whom the instrument had been issued or if it collateralized or attached to the PPP in

any capacity whatsoever.

4.10 1/7/2010 - PAYOUT AND DEPOSIT SCHEDULE.

On 1/7/2010 12:52 PM, Kerim Emre wrote by wire over the Internet:

“ 1. Settlement is Friday. [Friday, January 8, 2010]


2. This Friday will be the first settlement. So there will be 39 more.
3. Money will be wired on Monday. [Monday, January 11, 2010]
4. This wire will hit scotts [sic] paymaster then be distributed from there.
5. Future wires will go direct to JV principals not through Scott.
6. Scott should have a hard copy of the actual BG early to mid week next week that will
be provided to the JV partners.” [notation added] (Exhibit 12)

4.11 1/13/2010 - EMRE TAKES A 16.7% CUT OF FLORES’ PSP EARNINGS.

On 1/13/2010 2:17 PM, Kerim Emre wrote by wire over the Internet:

“… subfee agreement for Global Paymasters. I filled out my information, but I'll
need you to fill out the header, as well as yours so we can be setup for
disbursement. Please sign/date/etc and then send back to me. I will then sign my
portion and and [sic] send it back to you as a PDF. …” (Exhibit 13)

4.12 1/13/2010 - FRAUD BEGINS WITH DELAYS, DECEIT, AND MORE

ARTIFICES

4.12.1 1/13/2010 - DEFENDANT’S LONG SILENCE. On or about 1/13/2010

Flores began numerous inquiries about why there had been no deposit to his bank

account. Koster had reaffirmed (ibid. ¶ 4.9.2, supra) his previous schedule (¶ 4.3.2.2,

supra) for the deposit, however provided no prior notice or explanation when the

deposits for the PSP partners did not arrive. Flores received no verifiable answer nor

§ IV 48 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


credible explanation other that there had been some delay in the transaction due to

the holiday of a banker (the “HSBC HK Banker” also “John Doe 3") in Hong Kong.

After telephone calls placed to Emre, Flores insisted on a direct follow-up with Mark

Gelazela at IDLYC and identification of the HSBC HK Banker with no response.

Defendants were unresponsive until 1/26/2010 when Flores received a forwarded

message from Koster through Emre.

4.12.2 1/13/2010 — 1/25 2010 - LEGAL NOTICE: LEGAL RIGHT TO RELY ON

INTEGRITY AND HONESTY.‡3, ‡4, ‡6, *2 During that period of twelve days that began

about 1/13/2010, Plaintiff restated to Emre that he and Koster had a fiduciary duty

that vests in Plaintiffs (the “Entrustors”), the legal right to rely on the integrity and

honesty of Koster, Emre and their partners as well as the quality of the services

Fiduciaries are required to provide.

4.12.3 Further, Flores reiterated to Emre the jeopardy their performance failure

has placed on his “slate funding”30 and the mounting damages along with the

increasing cost of delaying crews, talent, and affecting location availability. Plaintiff

also informed the Defendants he had suffered irreversible damage to his reputation,

and loss of credibility and trust with the “A” List crews and talent, and that would

extend into the industry including unions, and local government officials who were

working to create incentives for employment and education for their constituents and

the economic welfare of their communities anticipating the arrival of the slate

productions.*3

scheduled for YR 2010 (this is a temporal bound reference relative to the period in which the terms and
availability of the funding were limited).

§ IV 49 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


4.12.4 With the scheduled funds delivery date nearing two weeks in the arrear and

inquiries seeking explanation, Koster began a credibility damage control campaign by

creating a ruse. Koster embarked on a plan to first create a false trust and a sense of

legitimacy using decoys by where he presents faithless corroboration for his claims.

4.12.5 Defendants’ first device was the use of disguised or altered replicas of

documents. The device’s form may or may not have been initially authentic, but its

intended purpose was to solicit Plaintiffs’ trust and quell Flores’ due diligence

inquiries while intentionally misrepresenting and omitting the true condition and

status of the IDLYC/PSP transactions. As well, the deceit was intended to hide any

information that Flores could use to explore the state of those transactions.

4.12.6 The Defendants second device was staged to fill in the evidentiary voids in

Defendants physical artifices, i.e. Defendants altered or defaced documents. Koster

would next convey unverifiable accounts to the Plaintiffs of his meetings between

himself and inferred administrators of the high-level international banking transaction

events. Koster related to Plaintiff that he had this access by virtue of his unique liaison

with official financial industry operatives. Defendants intended the use of these

reports along with the “sanitized documents” to established a collective inferential

credibility of Defendants’ claims, and to sustain genuineness of the documents Koster

had in his possession and was about to produce to the Plaintiffs.

4.13 1/26/2010 - THE THIRD MAN OF STRAW

4.13.1 1/26/2010 - FIRST SELF-JUSTIFICATION FOR THE DELAY. On

1/26/2010 6:32 PM, Kerim Emre forwarded an e-mail message sent to him that

afternoon from Scott Koster by wire over the Internet to explain the state of the PSP

and IDLYC financial transactions. Koster cites a message allegedly sent to him by

Mark Gelazela “with the trade platform” at IDLYC setting up the first excuse for the

delay of the funds delivery due fifteen days prior to this point.‡6 Gelazela:

"Please express our thanks to all the clients for their continued patience.
As mentioned, all is going well and we presently have received 4
preadvices for 4.6b. of those 4, we have verified and authenticated 2 of
them. We are having some of the hard copies picked up on Monday. It
was supposed to be delivered by the sending bank earlier, but we are
now picking them up ourselves (via qualified couriers). This, and the
banks moving slowly (some of the bank officers at HSBC didn’t arrive
back from vacation till the 16th of Jan), have been the source of the
delay. All of this translates to being able to make small payments next
week with bigger ones to follow the week after that and full payments
two weeks after that, then each week thereafter. Thanks again."

4.13.2 2/3/2010 - NOTICE TO DEFENDANTS OF ACCUMULATING

DAMAGES.*3

On 2/3/2010 at 11:33 PM CST Plaintiff Flores wrote to Emre requesting a report

from Koster on status information which was vital to Flores in handling damages and

liabilities being incurred through Defendants’ failure to perform:

information to assess losses, liabilities, etc. and work on some kind of
recovery.

Lance

4.13.3 On 2/3/2010 2:04 PM, one week after Kerim Emre’s 1/26/2010 6:32 PM

message, Emre forwarded an update via e-mail from Scott Koster concerning Bank

Guarantee31 Preadvice32. (Exhibit 14)

Koster: ‘I am putting together a more solid update as we speak. I


am in receipt of the pre-advice for the BG that our group, and
several others that I am a direct party to, are transacting off of [sic].
Please convey to your investor/client my gratitude and appreciation
for being patient through all of this. As you can imagine, we are all
very anxious to be in receipt of conformation [sic] of the first payout.

I appologize [sic] for just now getting back to you. I will be


forwarding this update to John, which will include a
Non-disimination [sic] disclosure, so that I can then forward on the
Pre-advice in a sanitized format for everyone to see that there is true
performance happening here :)’

It is clear that Koster has made a claim that he has some benefit of privileged

information that which he is about to furnish as legitimate and expects “everyone” to

believe so. Koster also extends the emblazonment of a “Non-disimination [sic]

disclosure [document]” which he knows is clearly unnecessary given the

31
A guarantee from a lending institution ensuring that the liabilities of a debtor will be met. In
other words, if the debtor fails to settle a debt, the bank will cover it.
32
Preadvice. Preliminary information about a letter of credit (L/C) sent by the issuing bank to the
advising bank where time is short. It notifies the recipient that the named buyer has opened an L/C of a
specified amount for a named seller (beneficiary), and usually includes the statement "the credit will follow"
or words to the effect. Depending on the jurisdiction, a preadvice may or may not irrevocably commit the
issuing bank to actually issue the said L/C. Therefore, the advising bank generally does not issue an advice
of credit but only notifies the beneficiary of the receipt of preadvice so that he or she (if willing) may proceed
with the processing of the buyer's order. Also called preliminary advice. (source: BusinessDictionary.com)

§ IV 52 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


comprehensive NCND already executed33 by Flores and the purported partners.

Koster states he will provide “a sanitized” copy of the “Preadvice” bank

communication “for everyone to see that there is true performance happening here”

apparently anticipating that notifying “everyone” will prepare Flores and others that

he intends to present another unverifiable document as proof of the legitimacy of the

financial transaction he is managing for the PSP.‡2

4.13.4 On 2/3/2010 2:49 PM, John Childs wrote (Exhibit 15) that he was “expecting

another update tonight or tomorrow morning” and presented an e-mail message from

Scott Koster stating he was going to provide “more recent information” and that he

had attached” a non-disclosure agreement, “so that [Koster] may without worry,

forward on the items that I am in receipt of, to provide to our PSA clients proof of

performance.Ӡ2 Koster then attempts to misrepresent and memorialize the state-of-

mind in an expression of common knowledge to “our clients” by declaring “[a]s all of

our clients are aware, there have been numerous setbacks and holdups,” when

actually, the only awareness was that from personal knowledge, that Koster’s delivery

of the funds were in arrearage, and nothing more. Koster attempts to place his words

into “[his] clients” mouths.

Koster declares he then had a “more solid picture of what has been transpiring;”

that picture being an expected first payout “within a loosly [sic] spelled out timeline”

thus setting up for another delay opportunity.

33
See ¶ 4.5.2, pg. 41

§ IV 53 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


The next claim by Koster disregards the previous reference in an earlier message

which inferred that a group of HSBC HK bankers on very extended holiday (at least a

24 day holiday) caused the delay. Now Koster directs blame upon one banker, the

HSBC HK Banker, whom IDLYC had been working with throughout the process as

causing the delay in the delivery of financial returns. Koster’s inference is that this

single banker out of the hundreds of bankers employed at HSBC Hong Kong was the

sole banker responsible for a financial transaction estimated to exceed a half billion

dollars, went on “vacation from shortly before the [Christmas] holidays, to the 16th of

January.” Further, Koster’s asserted, in common purpose with IDLYC, that this lone

banker from this Two-and-a-Half-Trillion dollar financial institution,34 responsible for

this rather large financial transaction, that had originated before the holiday, and

continued transacting between the 27th of December, 2009 and the 4th of January, 2010,

made no provisions for attendance of this transaction by any other banker, cut off all

communications, and left on a twenty-five day vacation. All this considering the

Instance Type Transmission35 informing HSBC Hongkong and Shanghai Banking

Corporation Limited on December 24, 2009 at 10:08 AM of the sender “redacted”,

acting on behalf of Trask and Affiliates, BMW Majestic, and redacted beneficiary, of

the deliver of the financial instrument via MT 760 issued by redacted issuer.‡6

34
As of 2010, HSBC is the world's sixth-largest banking and financial services group and the
world's eighth-largest company according to a composite measure by Forbes magazine. * It has around 8,000
offices in 91 countries and territories across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America and
around 100 million customers. As of 30 June 2010 it had total assets of $2.418 trillion, of which roughly half
were in Europe, a quarter in the Americas and a quarter in Asia. { * "Special Report - The Global 2000,"

Exhibit 25

§ IV 54 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Koster would have the Plaintiffs believe this “resulted in a number of delays and a

lack of communication flow coming our way, through IDLYC. He then claimed “[t]he

funding has been schedualed [sic] to follow approximately one week after the receipt

of the hard copies of the instruments, at which time, myself [Koster], as well as all of

the other principals, will be in receipt of their hard copy as well.‡2

4.13.5 DEFENDANTS CREATE A FACADE TO ELUDE PROOF. Koster

states36 that “[a] direct request by a partner of mine, as well as myself [sic] for proof of

this was directed towards IDLYC, as well as their attorneys.” And now the hedge,

Koster: “To comply with this request, we were required to sign a


Non-dicimination [sic] agreement, outlining that we would not, under
any circumstances, provide this to any parties, outside of those listed on
the agreement. After receiving this agreement, we went back to the
group, and requested the authorization to forward a sanitized version of
this document, to 3rd party individuals who have a direct relationship to
our personal transactions. We provided a list of names, as outlined in the
PSA that each of you have signed with ACM, and have been given
permission to forward these documents on, after receipt of the NDA's
back signed by each PSA contributing member …” (Exhibit 15)

4.13.6 ESTABLISHING PSEUDO-LEGITIMATE RESOURCES. The term for

this deceptive practice is referred to as authentication by association and used by

Koster continually to construct each man of straw. In retrospect, the modus operandi

of the Defendants’ Syndicate, was obviously formulated at the onset or prior to the

instant event as a standing procedure and business formula. It was implemented for

the Alicorn/IDLYC transaction by advancing the established investment and trade

experience as well as Koster’s and Emre’s networked connections to legitimate or

36
Exhibit 15

§ IV 55 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


pseudo-legitimate financial resources. Some of the resources would have known of and

participated in the activities of the Syndicate having full or partial knowledge, or a

variance thereof, in the Defendants’ commercial operations; while others would be

unaware and connected by legitimate means or be legitimately engaged through

misrepresentation of the Defendants.

4.13.6.1 Koster, the authority apparent, of the Syndicate, responded to

challenges to his arrogating and unequivocal authority and the operations of the

PSP, constructed a crudely developed squad of straw men to support his plan to

unleash a contrived deception fallacies plan. Each Straw Man was fashioned to

distract, dissuade, confute or avert challenges to the legitimacy of Koster’s claims

of the PSP financial performances, credibility of his status reports, and demands

for proof for the delays. Koster would use a facsimile of an official document or

form and deface any information that would allow independent verification or

establish any genuineness to the article, continuing to create of one-man-of-straw

after another. Their purpose was simply to frustrate, exasperate, and cause delay.

When Koster’s straw man collapsed after forensic examination by the Plaintiff, he

resorted back to his fallacy messaging, by distracting from the truth, using vague

and inexact wording in his rebuttal. Koster’s argument would always be extremely

deceptive because he carefully crafted his responses, disregarding the possibility

that there was any alternative explanation except his. Reexamination of the

foregoing facts and those that next follow, will reveal Koster’s pattern and use of

§ IV 56 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


disjunctive syllogisms to develop his maze of misleading information and deceptive

business practices.

4.14 2/4/2010 - DEFENDANTS’ FALSE PROOF OF PERFORMANCE.

4.14.1 Notice of Delivery of Promised Proof of Performance†2 On 2/4/2010

6:43 PM, Kerim Emre wrote:

“… Just wanted to keep you in the loop. Scott has received all of the NDAs back from
all of the principals involved. It should be fairly quick that you receive the proof of
performance information that was promised. We are also going to be getting a full
update outside of this soon.” (emphasis added) (see, Exhibit 22)

4.14.2 Flores responded to Koster’s request for a second non-disclosure

agreement and received acknowledgment from Koster by his transmittal, an attached

copy in his 2/4/2010 11:20 PM message, below, and his attachment of the signed NDA.

(Exhibit 24)

4.15 2/4/2010 - KOSTER DELIVERS THE THIRD STRAW MAN.‡2

On 2/4/2010 11:20 PM, Scott Koster wrote by wire over the Internet:

“… you are not being provided this document for any reason, other than to
provide the much needed proof of performance … Our BG has been
delivered to the funder [sic] via swift, as well as the hard copy, but no
release has been given as of Wed FEB 3 rd … As I have outlined to your
brokers, there are over 20 principals totalling [sic] greater than 25 Billion
USD in transactional funding that is taking place. … I am also attaching a
copy of the signed and received NDA as conformation of your signature. ”
(emphasis added) (Exhibit 23)

Flores did not have access to his regular e-mail client but was able to access the

2/4/2010 11:20 PM Koster message, but unable to open the attachment. Several days

§ IV 57 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


later he opened the message’s attachment to examine the document which Koster had

sent for the purpose of providing “the much needed proof of performance.” The

document was another man of straw. It appeared to be a copy of a SWIFT™ 37

acknowledgment received by HSBC Hong Kong, but because the document was so

defaced, it could have been one of any number of messages sent out on the proprietary

bank network. Koster’s transmitted copy of the document identified nothing that

would suggest a scintilla of Koster’s promised proof of performance.†2 The document

did not even identify the sender who presumably controlled the purported Twenty-five

Billion Dollar fund38 of the PSP and its senior-partners.

Plaintiff Flores once again called Emre complaining about the Defendants’ bogus

document without receiving any concession in the form of verifiable evidence related

to the document’s purported proof of performance, to no avail. Flores continued his

inquiry and demands for proof, but Defendants remained silent and never responded

on the matter.‡4

“John - will there be a status report today? I don't care if it is good or bad
news, but today I have to make some draconian decisions to cut my losses
and initiate damage control.
lance”

4.17 DEFENDANTS’ BEGIN LONG CAMPAIGN OF DELAY AND DECEIT

The Plaintiff’s persistent challenges for proof and refusal to accept Defendants’ bogus

representations of verifiable documentation caused the Defendants to withdraw into

silence and reluctance to return calls or respond to Flores’ messages. As well, the

Defendants ended their straw man campaign and did not produce another document to

the Plaintiffs, bogus or otherwise for another nine months. It would not be until

11/16/2010 4:26 PM, after informed of Plaintiffs’ intent to file this Original Complaint and

production request by Flores and Gary Grab, attorney for Vicki Clarkson; even then, the

production did not comply with the production request. During the following nine months

Defendants continued their fraud and deceptive trade practices with delays, diversions,

and more misrepresentations and omissions.

4.17.1 Plaintiff Flores’ telephone inquiries continued without any substantive

results concerning the status and proof of performance. On 2/19/2010 4:48 PM CST,

Kerim Emre responded to Flores’ Friday, February 19, 2010 22:44:41 GMT message

asking for news from Koster with little more to say than “… we'll be hearing

something on Monday rather than today …”

4.17.2 DEFENDANTS CONTINUALLY ARE INFORMED OF

DETERIORATING CONDITIONS. Throughout the course of events since early

December of 2009 Flores had been diligent in informing the Defendants of the state of

reliance upon the Defendants’ candor and fiduciary duty through news and reports of

liabilities and damages they had caused. For example, the candid and timely dialog

relating to the Defendants fraud, and the goodwill losses and economic jeopardy

Defendants had placed upon the Plaintiffs, in the activities with the City of San

Antonio concerning the production facility.39 Defendants were well aware that the

Plaintiffs would endure continued economic burdens and damages resulting from the

intended detrimental reliance they had calculated and induced. This intended reliance

was willful and wholly predicated on their wire frauds. It will be from this vantage that

Defendants fraud formulations would further evolve their complex fraud scheme:

4.17.3 From mid-February, 2010 until about mid-March, consisted of inquiry of

the status and complaints from Flores about the accumulating harm the Defendants’

delay and deceptions were causing the Plaintiffs. Emre insisted he was not assuming

any responsibility as a fiduciary and dismissed the Defendants’ inducements of

written guarantee from the financial resources and Defendants’ promises, inferring

the Defendants shouldn’t have been trusted.†, ‡2, ‡3

4.18 3/15/2010 — 3/16/2010 - KOSTER & ATTORNEY CLAIM WITNESS TO

PERFORMANCE.†2, ‡6 There hadn’t been any progress in meaningful information until

after John Childs response to Flores (Exhibit 27) when Koster, whose legal counsel was

Thomas P. Harlan, a lawyer representing himself to be of high qualified and substantial

experience,40 followed on 3/15/2010 12:13 PM and on 3/16/2010 10:24 AM, the next day

stating that he and his attorney had first-hand proof, having visually confirmed

performance and no intentional delays of the Alicorn PSP/IDLYC transaction. Koster

suggested a short-term alternative was possible, but made assurances of his trust and the

viability of the Syndicate’s transaction. (Exhibit 28 at ➀)

Koster:
“… I will call you directly as soon as I talk with the trader. Myself and my
attorney have seen proof with our own eyes of this working, and where the
holdup is, so its [sic] not an issue of nonperformance, or deliberate delays.
As I stated very early on, this is one of the only trade groups that I trust, as
I have seen performance by them in the past.” (emphasis added)

4.18.1 The April 2nd Scheduled Payout & Default. On Thursday, March 18, 2010

1:59 PM, Scott Koster in a message Stated he had received an update from one of his

partners on another instrument who spoke to “the trader”, and it appeared that the

first payout was on track “for the April 2nd [2010]” (Exhibit 29 at ➀) and would be out

of the country and providing current updates by e-mail. Koster noted he had spoken to

the trader that Monday, who stated that “if there were any delays, they would be

40
“I have been involved in hundreds if not thousands of lawsuits, including a number in Texas.”
(Exhibits Vol. 5 - Exhibit “123” at ¶ 1)

§ IV 61 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


SWIFT related delays, and would only hold things up for a few days.” (see, Exhibit 29)

Koster’s assurances fail, no payout ever occurred.

4.18.2 Defendants Exhibit Conscious Indifference to Silence, Concealment & Non-

disclosure. Koster and Harlan had knowledge of the true facts and circumstances,

stated above, and had fiduciary duty including the duty to speak, inform and provide

documentary verification to the Plaintiffs, as that duty of care had arisen in this

instance. However, they did not, and by fraudulent inducement, coerced reliance and

fraudulent intent, instead maintained and continued the various frauds, fully aware of

the consequences of their tortuous acts which they knew would injure the Plaintiffs.

Defendants, but particularly Koster and Harlan, also knew that by concealing

information of grave consequential import, it would likely cause great harm to the

Plaintiffs.

Defendants, specifically Koster, counseled by Thomas Harlan,41 continued their

conscious indifference, concealment and willful silence and deprivation of information

legally due the Plaintiffs. They knew they would be prohibited or otherwise be

estopped from later making certain related arguments, defenses or claiming of certain

related rights later through their silence and non-disclosure.‡2, ‡4

41
Clearly Harlan has substantial legal experience and is aware that a lawyer who commits fraud,
advises his client to do so, or has knowledge that his client has committed fraud or about to commit an act of
fraud, and fails to advise him of the law and consequences, or aids and abets his client in fraud in the
conduct of a business, is subject to discipline for engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or
misrepresentation. (MRPC Rule 8.4., Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct)

§ IV 62 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


4.19 EXTRINSIC FRAUD ATOP DETRIMENTAL RELIANCE.

4.19.1 Defendants used and continued to use that same detrimental reliance as a

weapon to threaten Plaintiffs with contract non-performance should Flores continue

his pressure on Defendants to seek proof of performance or criminal complaint, or

civil litigation. Defendants’ threats were clearly intended to shift responsibility of any

financial transaction failure to the Plaintiffs continued due diligence efforts or legal

action.

4.19.2 Of far greater import, is the malice aforethought and criminal intent in the

Defendants’ fraud scheme. In addition to the continual fraud perpetrated over the

wires on the Internet to this point in time, Koster decisively decided to risk criminal

liability by instituting coercion, duress and intimidation and threatening Plaintiffs and

any who attempted to verify his or the Syndicate’s or the traders’ veracity or validity

by terminating their contracts and throwing them out of the PSP. Koster stated that

he had done so to another partner, he labeled a troublemaker. Additionally, he

threatened the same for anyone making an insinuation about seeking legal criminal or

civil action.

4.19.3 Undoubtedly, Koster felt he was above the law and could unilaterally

terminate all contractual rights or claims of a partner in these circumstances. The

Defendants’ clear intent was to instill the fear of losing everything, in the minds of the

Plaintiffs and others, to assure Defendants control and continued detrimental reliance

§ IV 63 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


of the Plaintiffs on Koster. The Defendants executed these actions through the use of

the public communications wires over the Internet in the furtherance of their fraud.

4.20 3/26/2010 - KOSTER DECLARES 100% CONFIRMATION ARRIVAL OF

FUNDS IN U.S.

4.20.1 On Friday, March 26, 2010 at 12:43 PM, Scott Koster, representing the

Syndicate, sent a message to the Plaintiffs stating:

“Funds have been received here in the US for the purpose of our
program through IDLYC, as well as several others. This has been
100% confirmed to be true directly by the head trader at HSBC HK,
as well as by the CEO's of IDLYC, the two bodies transacting this
program for all of the principals.” (Exhibit 30 at ➀)

Koster asserts that the funds arrived in the United States in the

ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW transaction, based on first and second hand information

from the HSBC Hong Kong “head trader,” but does not specify what bank or to whom

the funds were delivered; neither does Koster identify the head trader at HSBC Hong

Kong who made the “100%” confirmation.†2

4.21 3/26/2010 - DEATH KNELL TOLLS FOR PSP PARTNER. Koster next writes

alleging:

“There have been numerous hangups along the way, to include one
principal making direct death threats to the program managers, then
going to the FBI to try to ruin the whole program after he was
kicked out.” (id. at ➁)

§ IV 64 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


The Syndicate speaking through Koster claims that a principal in the transaction

was kicked out based on allegations of making death threats and going to the FBI.

Through this communication the Syndicate expresses the gravity it places on clients

contacting the U.S. Justice Department (FBI) giving it equal measure with making a

death threat. Whether or not their allegations are true was never verified by the

Plaintiffs. But, by Koster’s example, he makes the point by dragging the ousted

principal’s corpse down the street, to deter the Plaintiffs from making contact,

reporting, or complaining to investigating officials about the actions of the Syndicate.

Here again, the Defendants stretch their extrinsic fraud to nearing the point of

obstruction of justice, but in either case, extrinsic fraud or obstruction of justice it is

fraud perpetrated over the wire, i.e., wire fraud.†3, †2,†7,†8

4.22 SYNDICATE/KOSTER BLAME HSBC FOR DELAYS. Koster speaking for

the Syndicate then blames HSBC Hong Kong for the delay by inferring fraud on the part

of the bank through their intentional delay to unjustly make a profit, yet provide no proof.

Thus, if untrue they have purposely made written defamatory representation that

conveys an unjustly unfavorable impression about HSBC Hong Kong.

“HSBC is has been more than difficult in moving the funding along,
as they continue to collect interest on the funds the longer they hold
them in their hands.” (id. at ➂)

“Our bankers have expressed that funds are eminent nearly every
day for at least a week and a half. We did have an issue after the
Chinese new year, but that was handled and we were not expecting
further delays. We do feel that things are going to finalize shortly,
but certainly understand that your patience is wearing thin. Ours is
as well. Banks historically have a habit of delaying funds as long as

§ IV 65 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


possible to keep their balance sheet as high as possible to get as
much interest as possible before relinquishing control.” (id. at ➄)

4.23 3/26/2010 - KOSTER MAKES 2ND CONFIRMATION AND ADDS ANOTHER

HEDGE. Koster confirms once more “directly” with his first hand information with

another scheduled date for funding. He now adds new conditions to the delivery noting

that the “principals” will receive back their initial investments. None of the proceeds will

be issued to the PSP partners, however. They will receive funds on the next week’s

delivery. ‡6

Koster:

“Currently, we are looking at approximately 2-4 weeks for full funding to


take place. There may be one small funding, which will be the principals
initial investments, and the following week a payout. This is information
that has been confirmed directly, and is not second hand information, or
rumor.” (id. at ➃)

4.24 3/26/2010 - CANCELLATION EDICT FOR VOICING LEGAL ACTION

Koster unveils a direct threat to terminate PSP financial transaction if he finds out

about any utterances of legal (criminal), or civil action; apparently singling out the

Plaintiffs.

Koster:

“Your rights apropos of continuance, are very simple, and clearly stated
within the contract. We do expect everyone to remain professional despite
the hiccups. And for those it applies to, in the event we hear profane
threats of any kind (legal, civil, or physical) we will immediately cancel your
transaction.” (id. at➅)

§ IV 66 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Clearly Koster was exerting a threat in the form of extrinsic fraud, that is, fraud

that infects the actual judicial process, by which he intended to inhibit the Plaintiffs

from filing complaints through legal challenges or referral to a governmental

investigative agency. Further, it is also evident that it is Koster’s intent to conceal

other frauds, thus, Defendants’ actions of deceit are consequently broadened by

Koster attempted fraudulent concealment by extortion. Koster threatened the

Plaintiffs with the intent to obstruct an investigation or judicial proceeding and

violated the prohibitions or requirements applicable by law. Because Koster

conducted the extortion of the Plaintiffs’ property, their money from the transaction,

over the wires, is another instance of wire fraud.†4, †2,†7,†8

4.24.1 Friday, March 26, 2010 20:52:11 GMT – Later that day at 2:52 PM, Flores

frustrated by another unjustified delay, and incensed by more lies, and Koster’s threat

to thieve Plaintiffs’ earnings, asked for a justifiable “answer” (Exhibit 31).

4.24.2 Monday, March 29, 2010 16:07:36 GMT – Three days later on Monday, at

4:07 PM, after receiving no credible response from the Defendants, Flores sent a

message to Koster: “Scott, I'd like to get through the riddles and vagueness; perhaps

get some clarification (about Koster’s previous message).” (Exhibit 32)

4.24.3 The Defendants refused to produce any verifiable documentation or

information. Defendants, particularly Koster counseled by Harlan, continued their

conscious indifference to Defendants’ fiduciary duty through Silence, Concealment,

Beach of Contract for Nonperformance, Breach of Common Law Duty of Good Faith,

Intentional Misrepresentation, Willful Omissions, Fraud by Concealment legally due

§ IV 67 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Plaintiffs. Koster and Harlan knew they would be prohibited by equitable estoppel

particularlyPromissory Estoppel, Estoppel by Non-disclosure, Estoppel by Silence,

Estoppel by Estoppel by Misrepresentation, or otherwise be estopped from later

making certain related arguments, defenses or claiming certain related rights later. It

is evident, given the aforementioned facts, Koster and Harlan took into account their

tortious and/or illegal acts, their reckless and wanton disregard of the law, and the

harm they had, or would continue to inflict upon others, and with scienter, weighed the

risks of their deeds.*5,*6*7,*9,*13,*19,‡1,‡2,‡4, (see also, ¶ 4.18.2, 62)

4.24.4 The Elements Of Equitable Estoppel were satisfied and are asserted

against the Defendants in that (1) The Defendants were advised of the facts; (2) The

Defendants intend that their conduct be acted upon by the Plaintiffs, or the

Defendants acted in such a way that the Plaintiffs had a right to believe it was so

intended; (3) The Plaintiffs were ignorant or were previously misinformed of the true

facts by the Defendants; and (4) The Defendants had by their frauds and coercions

forced or induced the Plaintiffs into a detrimental reliance.

4.25 3/30/2010 — 4/14/2010 - 91ST DAY IN DEFAULT - 116TH TRANSACTION DAY

– DISCLOSURE REQUEST – TERMINATED PARTNER SPEAKS OUT ABOUT

IDLYC

In the period from March 30, 2010 to Plaintiff’s April 14th message, Plaintiffs’

continued requests for information in order to plan recovery from damages. They also

sought to reaffirm Koster’s confirmation of the funds and the clarification of his

§ IV 68 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


evasive discussion of additional distribution delays suggested during phone

conversations. Flores urged Koster to initiate legal action seeking an injunction, since

the initial funds had arrived in the United States, against Mark Gelazela and William

Chandler Reynolds to insure the collection of the funds. Koster immediately dismissed

the suggestion stating again that “Mark” was his friend. Koster wanted to give

Gelazela more time to distribute the funds, and would prefer to find another

opportunity later down the road.

4.25.1 On Tuesday, April 13, 2010 7:55 PM (Wed, 14 Apr 2010 01:55:42 GMT)

Flores sent a message notifying Koster that the ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW transaction

was about 40% in arrearage (no revenue paid out) and Flores wanted a documented

answer from Gelazela. Flores also noted again to Koster, the damages to him from the

transaction nonperformance.*3 Included in the message was a fraud story, a few days

old, posted on the Internet concerning Koster’s friend Gelazela and his partner

Reynolds that occurred in exactly the same time frame as the PSP’s transaction.

(Exhibit 32)

4.25.2 “On 4/13/2010 9:55 PM, Scott Koster wrote:

“… this funding has been delayed, …

Also, regarding the post on ripoff report, there are always two sides to
every story. One client who I brokered in requested a refund, and it was
granted to him pending he signed a release of liability. The poster on ripoff
report screwed himself, in that all of us signed a ncnd, as well as an
agreement to not purposely attempt to disrupt the funding process by going
to external sources prior to exhausting all provisions in the contract.”

Koster responded two hours later that evening, announcing that the PSP was

delayed and not going to be paid from the funds that he and his attorney, Thomas P.

§ IV 69 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Harlan, had verified the funds had arrived in the United States. In the same message

Koster acknowledged the partner that had written the complaint on the Internet, was

indeed the individual he had removed and terminated from the PSP. Koster remarked

upon the requirement for that individual to execute a release of liability. This

requirement was not in the agreement. Only a demand was required.

Moreover, it was an unlawful coercion to require the partner to execute the release

of liability in order to have his money returned; particularly after Koster had

defaulted on the contract by nonperformance and fraud. In fact, Koster’s act of

holding the partner’s money hostage and extorting a release from liability, was clearly

coercion, or worse, extortion, if the partner was terminated for suggesting legal

action, or reporting Koster’s actions to the U.S. Justice Department.

4.25.3 Koster’s Reinforce Previous Threat of Retaliation. There is little doubt that

Koster’s message was a veiled threat intended to reinforce his previous threat of

retaliation42 for hearing any kind of legal [criminal] or civil action, which he deemed as

profane.

4.25.4 On Wednesday, April 14, 2010 11:42 AM (17:42:59 GMT) Flores sent a

message to Koster to get a “yes or no” answer whether or not the revenue funds were

going to be sent; resolving the next action by Flores to resolve the financial and

damages issues. (Exhibit 35)

4.25.5 188TH DAY NOTICE. Friday, April 16, 2010 5:00 AM, Flores sent a

message to Koster noting that it was over 118 days into the financial transaction, the

42
See ¶ 4.23, supra. at 66 (also, Exhibit 30 at ➄)

§ IV 70 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


last day in the 2 to 4 week period following the payout of the principals and looking to

confirm that the PSP would be paid this day. As in many other messages previously,

Flores again, reinformed Koster of the status of the accumulating damages and harm

Koster and his friend Gelazela were inflicting upon Flores and a host of others.*3

Flores: “… I depended on the agreement and anticipation that the trade


transaction principals would meet contract performance, and shall
experience substantial damages and losses as a result of their lack of
performance. These guys owe us an explanation and should apologize,
moreover, reconcile and perform.

“Notwithstanding the loss of credibility, perceived veracity and reputation


in the industry, I[t] appears I will loose the studio property will cost an
additional $30M-$40M, have lost a couple film projects, and most likely
several more film projects. Having only needed the first couple of the
weekly profit payouts to lever my entire film slate funding via a loan, now
most if not all of this financial venture may just pay for the monetary losses.
My reputation is not likely reparable. I have place a couple of examples in
the post script below.

“Please inform me this morning of the scheduled deposit to the paymaster


so that I may contact my crews, casts, and producers, and attempt to
salvage some of our projects.”

4.25.6 Koster acknowledges film project damages – suggests move to commodities

trade. On 4/16/2010 10:15 AM, Scott Koster wrote acknowledging film project losses

resulting from his failure to perform, aware that Flores is not anticipating litigation

and agency complaints, next suggests moving funds into a Gold Buy/Sell as a direct

principal. Though it seems to just work into Koster’s delay scheme, this message will

play a significant role in clarifying the fraudulent intent and act in an entirely new

program substituted for the IDLYC transaction later on. Koster:

“Lance,
I understand where you are coming from with all of this.

§ IV 71 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


“… 100% see where your coming from, but am also aware of your situation
and past issues prior to coming into this program. With all that being said,
please get in touch with John or Kerim to learn more about the commodities
buy/sell, how that all works, and we can look into timelines and possibilities
to move you away from IDLYC, and into that program, not as a 4th party to
the transaction, but as a direct principal.”

4.25.7 The Defendants refused to produce any verifiable documentation or

information. Defendants, particularly Koster counseled by Harlan, continued their

conscious indifference to Defendants’ fiduciary duty through Silence, Concealment,

Beach of Contract for Nonperformance, Breach of Common Law Duty of Good Faith,

Intentional Misrepresentation, Willful Omissions, Fraud by Concealment legally due

Plaintiffs. Koster and Harlan knew they would be prohibited by equitable estoppel

particularlyPromissory Estoppel, Estoppel by Non-disclosure, Estoppel by Silence,

Estoppel by Estoppel by Misrepresentation, or otherwise be estopped from later

making certain related arguments, defenses or claiming certain related rights later.

4.25.8 The Elements Of Equitable Estoppel were satisfied and are asserted

against the Defendants in that (1) The Defendants were advised of the facts; (2) The

Defendants intend that their conduct be acted upon by the Plaintiffs, or the

4.26 4/22/2010 - KOSTER REPORTS SEC INVESTIGATOR SAYS IDLYC

CHECKS OUT – FUNDING IS IMMINENT . On 4/22/2010 1:10 PM CST, Kerim Emre

wrote restating Koster’s telephone conversation that Koster was told by an SEC

investigator43 that the IDLYC transaction was legitimate, and that he was advised that

the PSP funding was imminent. Neither Emre nor Koster provided any verifiable

documentation of the SEC report, the name of the investigator, or SEC district

investigating IDLYC to Flores.

4.26.1 Following, in later telephone conversations with Koster, Flores maintained

that IDLYC was engaging in fraudulent actions and that Koster had to be aware of

those frauds. Flores continued informing Koster that he had first hand information

and both he and Harlan had an obligation and were required by law to report the

frauds, and that the only reason that Koster and Harlan could possibly have to gain,

not to produce that evidence to the SEC investigator, would be to conceal his, Harlan’s

and Emre’s involvement in the unlawful and/or illegal activities with IDLYC and

BMW Majestic. Koster would not respond, and remained silent on this challenge,

knowing full well they were obstructing justice by interfering with a government

investigation and not being forthcoming with evidence of criminal or regulatory

violations.

43
Koster had mentioned in several telephone conversations with Flores that he was contacted on a
number of occasions by an investigator from the Securities and Exchange Commission looking into the
IDLYC, each time reporting that there appeared no wrongdoing by Mark Gelazela and W illiam Chandler
Reynolds.

Harlan, continued their conscious indifference to their fiduciary duty through silence,

concealment and non-disclosure of information legally due Plaintiffs. Koster and

Harlan knew they would be prohibited or otherwise be estopped from later making

certain related arguments, defenses or claiming certain related rights later. It is

evident, given the aforementioned fact , Koster and Harlan took into account their

tortious and/or illegal acts, their reckless and wanton disregard of the law, and the

harm they had, or would continue to inflict upon others, and with scienter, weighed the

risks of their deeds.

4.26.3 Koster would not provide any documentation his advisory of the “imminent”

funding though urged in subsequent telephone conversations with Emre and Koster.

Flores also responds shortly thereafter concerning IDLYC’s non-performance.

(Exhibit 38)

Flores: “… It is well past the moment that they [IDLYC, G ] be given a


dictate the time and date given delivery, since after three months they have
failed and have not produce[d] the contracted deliverable. No more
imminent anything … a few more imminent 2-4 week promises by IDLYC
and it will be Christmas.”

4.26.4 The Defendants refused to produce any verifiable documentation or

information. Defendants, particularly Koster counseled by Harlan, continued their

conscious indifference to Defendants’ fiduciary duty through Silence, Concealment,

Beach of Contract for Nonperformance, Breach of Common Law Duty of Good Faith,

Intentional Misrepresentation, Willful Omissions, Fraud by Concealment legally due

particularlyPromissory Estoppel, Estoppel by Non-disclosure, Estoppel by Silence,

Estoppel by Estoppel by Misrepresentation, or otherwise be estopped from later

making certain related arguments, defenses or claiming certain related rights later.

4.26.5 Defendants, specifically Koster and Harlan, continued their acquiescence

to Flores' legal notifications arising after Flores gave legal warning to Defendants

based on clearly asserted facts and specification of related legal principle, where after

Koster and Harlan, did not respond within a reasonable period of time. By

acquiescing, the Defendants lost the legal right to assert the contrary and would be

prohibited or otherwise estopped from later making certain related arguments,

defenses or claiming certain related rights. It is evident, given the aforementioned

facts, Defendants, particularly Koster and Harlan, took into account their tortious

Defendants acted in such a way that the Plaintiffs had a right to believe it was so

intended; (3) The Plaintiffs were ignorant or were previously misinformed of the true

facts by the Defendants; and (4) The Defendants had by their frauds and coercions

forced or induced the Plaintiffs into a detrimental reliance.

4.27 4/24/2010 - FLORES INFORMS IDLYC PRINCIPALS & KOSTER OF

THEIR INTRINSIC FIDUCIARY DUTY. From April 22nd through April 24, 2010,

Flores informed Koster and IDLYC principals through Koster, of their fiduciary duties

and that their clients have a right to information given the real and potential damages to

everyone involved in the transaction.*5,*7,*11,*13,*19,‡2,‡3,‡4, (Exhibit 39)

4.28 6/24/2010 - LEGAL NOTICE GIVEN - LEGAL DEFINITION - DEFINING

AND GOVERNING FIDUCIARY DUTY ARISE OUT OF THE LAW OF EQUITY.‡3

On Thursday, June 24, 2010 6:46 AM, having just been surprised by news of a

fiduciary/principal in the IDLYC/ALICORN transaction which had never been revealed

to the Plaintiffs in telephone conversation with Koster, Flores insisted on a conference to

discuss the matters concerning 1) the Gold Transaction, 2) IDLYC/BMW Majestic trade

matters, 3) investment fund issues dates including demand letters and responses, and

4) SBLC resources. (Vol. 2 Exhibit 44 at ➀)

ADDITIONALLY, Flores Gave Legal Notice Based on Clearly Asserted Facts

and Specification of Related Legal Principle. (See, Vol. 2 Exhibit 44 at ➁, ➂)

4.28.1 On 4/26/2010 11:25 AM, Scott Koster replied (Exhibit NN) to Flores

response to Emre’s “Imminent payout schedule” message of April 22nd. Koster

responded in an interleaved form:

[Flores E-mail Msg. of Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 9:45 AM]


I can find no reason not to fully document the circumstances, conditions,
and history of this transaction and formally memorialize all this information.

§ IV 76 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


[Koster’s response]
I agree.

However, like all of the Defendants’ promises for full disclosure and transparency,

their commitments remained unrealized assurances to fulfill their legal duties to the

Plaintiffs.

4.28.2 Koster and Harlin had knowledge of the true facts and circumstances, states

above, and had fiduciary duty including the duty speak, inform and provide documentary

verification to the Plaintiffs, as that duty of care had arisen in this instance. However, they

did not, and maintained and continued the various frauds, fully aware of the consequences of

their tortuous acts which they knew would injure the Plaintiffs. Defendants, but particularly

Koster and Harlin, also knew that they were concealing information of grave consequential

import to the Plaintiffs, and as well maintained the fraudulent concealment of their fraudulent

acts.*5

4.28.3 Estoppel by Acquiescence. Defendants, specifically Koster, counseled by

Harlin, continued their acquiescence to Plaintiffs’ legal notifications arising after

Flores gave legal warning to Defendants based on clearly asserted facts and

specification of related legal principle, where after Koster, counseled by Harlin, did

not respond within a reasonable period of time. By acquiescing, the Defendants lost

the legal right to assert the contrary and would be prohibited or otherwise estopped

from later making certain related arguments, defenses or claiming certain related

rights. It is evident, given the aforementioned facts, Defendants, particularly Koster

and Harlin, took into account their tortious and/or illegal acts, their reckless and

§ IV 77 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


wanton disregard of the law, and the harm they had, or would continue to inflict upon

others, and with scienter, weighed the risks of their deeds.‡3

4.29 EMRE’S REQUEST FOR IRS W9 FORM. PAYMENT SCHEDULE

UPDATE. From 4/27/2010 11:08 PM though 4/29/2010 Kerim Emre sent request for

Flores W9 IRS form, and exchanged information and acknowledged procedures for his

submission to escrow attorney (paymaster) David B. Kaplan Attorney-at-Law JOLTA

Trust Account, Chase Bank, 270 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017, Bank Officer: Fery

Sabouri. (Exhibit 41)

4.30 May 5TH - COME TO JESUS TIME FOR MARK & CHANDLER . (Exhibit 43)

On Wednesday, May 5, 2010, Flores sent his Come to Jesus Time message to Koster

exhibiting the frustrations of the Plaintiffs. Clarkson and Flores had discussed the

drafting of a complaint and assembling evidence for submission to the grand jury foreman

under various jurisdictions and to U.S. and Canadian investigative agencies, which

Plaintiffs have done in part thus far, continuing to collect additional evidence. In previous

months, Koster and Emre were made aware, in both telephone conversations and e-mail

communications, that the Plaintiffs were pursuing such actions. Koster was asked to

inform his partners, Gelazela and Reynolds, of their fiduciary duty, as Koster refused to

allow direct access to them.

Nonetheless, the Defendants continued their concealment, deceit, and

unresponsiveness to lawful demands of the Plaintiffs. Clearly Koster and his legal

§ IV 78 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


counsel Harlan, were fully aware of the circumstances, that the Plaintiffs must plead

with particularity.44 As well, Harlan was well aware that the Plaintiffs’ must establish

the necessary “quantum of proof” of the crime/fraud exception in order to penetrate

his attorney-client privilege; a privilege he and his client anticipated would protect the

evidence disclosure of their fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. Faced with

choosing disclosure over continued fraud and fraudulent concealment, Koster, and

Harlan choose the later. Flores’ call, expressed the Plaintiffs’ intentions to proceed

toward litigation, which they did with care, such, apparently mistaken as a bluff.

4.30.1 Non-disclosure. The Defendants refused to produce any verifiable

documentation or information. Defendants, particularly Koster counseled by Harlan,

continued their conscious indifference to their fiduciary duty through silence,

concealment and non-disclosure of information legally due Plaintiffs. Koster and

Harlan knew they would be prohibited or otherwise be estopped from later making

certain related arguments, defenses or claiming certain related rights later. It is

evident, given the aforementioned fact , Koster and Harlan took into account their

tortious and/or illegal acts, their reckless and wanton disregard of the law, and the

harm they had, or would continue to inflict upon others, and with scienter, weighed the

risks of their deeds.‡2 (see also, ¶ 4.18.2, 62)

4.30.2 Acquiescence. Further, Defendants, specifically Koster, counseled by

Harlan, continued their acquiescence to Flores’ legal notifications arising after Flores

44
There are few attorneys that are unaware of W ilson, W ilson, 525 F.3d at 379, and know the
higher pleading requirements for fraud claims. {United States ex rel. W ilson v. Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc.,
525 F.3d 370, 379 (4 TH Cir. 2008) (quoting Harrison, 176 F.3d at 784). This set of information is often called
the "who, what, when, where, and how" of the alleged fraud.}

§ IV 79 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


gave legal warning to Defendants based on clearly asserted facts and specification of

related legal principle, where after Koster, counseled by Harlan, did not respond

within a reasonable period of time. By acquiescing,‡3 the Defendants lost the legal

right to assert the contrary and would be thereafter prohibited or otherwise estopped

from later making certain related arguments, defenses or claiming certain related

rights. It is evident, given the aforementioned facts, Defendants, particularly Koster

and Harlan, took into account their tortious and/or illegal acts, their reckless and

wanton disregard of the law, and the harm they had, or would continue to inflict upon

others, and with scienter, weighed the risks of their deeds.‡2 (see also, ¶ 4.18.2, 62).

4.31 KOSTER OFFERS GOLD BUY/SELL VALUE EQUIVALENCY

SUBSTITUTION FOR IDLYC PERFORMANCE IN DEFAULT

4.31.1 On Friday, April 16, 2010, Scott Koster, sent a message to Flores, copying

John Childs and Kerim Emre stating:

“… With all that being said, please get in touch with John or Kerim
to learn more about the commodities buy/sell, how that all works, and
we can look into timelines and possibilities to move you away from
IDLYC, and into that program, not as a 4th party to the transaction,
but as a direct principal.

I will follow this up with a phone call later today. &c.” (Exhibit 36)

4.31.2 In the period following Koster’s Friday, April 16, 2010 10:15 PM message,

Flores and Koster engage in telephone conversations in which Koster further

explained the process and procedure of Richard Hall’s (and partners’) Gold

Transaction as a settlement for the performance failure of the Plaintiffs’ interest in

§ IV 80 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


the non-performing Alicorn PSP. In those phone conversations Koster reiterated,

proposed, assuring the reliability of the program, and offered the commodity buy/sell

to Flores. Koster made additional promises and reassurances to that which he stated

in his April 16TH message that Flores would be taken out of IDLYC transaction, and

placed into the buy/sell program, not as a 4th party to the transaction, but as a direct

principal.

4.31.3 Promissory Estoppel. Defendant, the promisor, made a a promise, in fact a

gratuitous promise that he should reasonably have expected to induce action or

forbearance of the Plaintiffs by a definite and substantial character on the part of the

Defendant, whom a promise has been made. The Plaintiffs, promisees, justifiably

relied on the Defendants' promise for which Plaintiffs suffered harm and substantial

detriment, that was an economic loss and other damages that ensued to the Plaintiffs

from action or forbearance. Thus, injustice can be avoided only by enforcing the

promise.‡1

4.32 4/29/2010 - PLAINTIFFS’ APRIL 29TH DEMAND FOR PERFORMANCE &

PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.

4.32.1 FLORES APRIL 29TH DEMAND FOR PAYOUT PERFORMANCE. On

Thursday, April 29, 2010 15:03:53 GMT Flores wrote to Koster,

Flores: “Don't need any more updates from Mark. His updates are just
manufactured excuses to deceive and delay; Mark has provided no definitive or
substantiated reasons for his delays. He needs to transfer the funds today.
(Exhibit 45 at ➀)

§ IV 81 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


4.32.2 None of the Defendants affirmatively responded by performing on the

delivery of funds.*6

4.33 6/13/2010 - FLORES’ JUNE 13TH DEMAND FOR PERFORMANCE &

PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. (Exhibit 46)

4.33.1 On Sunday, June 13, 2010, Flores gives Koster notice that the PSP has

entered into its 177TH day of the transaction (152ND day in default) specifies that,

Flores: “ * There never has been a definitive explanation of the schedule of


transactions, other than verbal and email promises.
* We've never had any verifiable documentation on any legitimate
[transactions] having taken place -
o except for the initial bank transaction of initial transfer
of funds into the investment,
o telephone inquiries into the status of investment
transactions, and
o email inquiries into the status of investment transactions,
these we can verify;
* this accounts for over 150 inquiries of the status for which there
is no means to verify any legitimate transaction outside the
initial investment, and none by the parties having a fiduciary
responsibility,”

4.33.2 Flores clearly sets forth the deficiencies in the Defendants’ actions, and

breach of their fiduciary duties where Defendants have, after, minimally, one-hundred

fifty (150) inquires from the Plaintiffs, never provided any affirmative responses that

would verify the legitimacy or the Defendants’ transaction as they apply to the PSP.

4.33.3 Defendants, having the opportunity, never respond, to or resolve any of the

points made as of the date of June 13, 2010.

4.33.4 Non-disclosure & Silence. The Defendants refused to produce any

verifiable documentation or information. Defendants, particularly Koster counseled by

§ IV 82 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Harlan, continued their conscious indifference to their fiduciary duty through silence,

concealment and non-disclosure of information legally due Plaintiffs. Koster and

Harlan knew they would be prohibited or otherwise be estopped from later making

certain related arguments, defenses or claiming certain related rights later. It is

evident, given the aforementioned fact , Koster and Harlan took into account their

tortious and/or illegal acts, their reckless and wanton disregard of the law, and the

harm they had, or would continue to inflict upon others, and with scienter, weighed the

risks of their deeds.

4.33.5 The Defendants refused to produce any verifiable documentation or

information. Defendants, particularly Koster counseled by Harlan, continued their

conscious indifference to Defendants’ fiduciary duty through Silence, Concealment,

Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Fraud in the Factum, Fraud in the Inducement,

Constructive Fraud, Fraud in Law, Actual Fraud, Fraud by Concealment, Beach of

PURPORTED DEMAND LETTER TO IDLYC.

4.34.1 CLARKSON’S 1ST REQUEST FOR A COPY OF KOSTER’S

PURPORTED IDLYC DEMAND LETTER. On June 29, 2010 4:44 PM MST,

Plaintiff Vicki Clarkson wrote following her telephone call voice message.

Clarkson: “Below is an outline of what I'm looking for.

“Please provide the tracking numbers for the letters that were sent to
IDLYC. We would all like to understand the exact date that IDYLC has to
refund the money. As per our conversation, 2 weeks ago, IDYLC has 30
days to return the funds to you, what we don't know is what is the final date
they have to return the funds.

( For example, if the letter was received by IDYLC on June 16, then based
on a 30 day refund time frame, we can expect the funds returned to you by
July 16, 2010.)

Please provide the last date IDYLC has to return the funds.

Help me understand why two weeks has gone by and it doesn't sound like
we are any further ahead today than we were in the middle of June. If I'm
missing something, please advise. (Exhibit 45 at ➁)

4.34.3 6/30/2010 - CLARKSON’S 3ND REQUEST FOR A COPY OF KOSTER’S

PURPORTED IDLYC DEMAND LETTER. On Wednesday, June 30, 2010 2:23 PM,

Vicki Clarkson reminded Koster of her request for a copy of his purported demand

letters he claimed to have sent to Mark Gelazela at IDLYC. (Exhibit 45 at ➂)

4.34.4 KOSTER FAILS TO PRODUCE DOCUMENTS CONCEALING THE

INTERNAL ACTIVITIES OF THE SYNDICATE. Koster never responded to the

Clarkson request for Koster’s purported demand letters to IDLYC; neither to

Clarkson nor Flores. This information was critical to their financial interests and was

information lawfully due the Plaintiffs; as of the date of the filing of this instant action,

no document of any sort, verifiable or not, related in this section (¶ 4.33.5), has been

produced to either of the Plaintiffs.

4.34.5 Knowledge of Fiduciary Duty.*2 Koster and Harlan had knowledge of the

true facts and circumstances, and had fiduciary duty including the duty to speak,

inform and provide documentary verification to the Plaintiffs, as that duty of care had

arisen in this instance. However, they did not, and instead coerced reliance with

fraudulent intent, and maintained and continued the various frauds, fully aware of the

consequences of their tortuous acts which they knew would injure the Plaintiffs.

Defendants, but particularly Koster and Harlan, also knew that they were concealing

information of grave consequential import to the Plaintiffs, and as well maintained the

fraudulent concealment of their fraudulent acts.*5,*7,*10,*11,*13,*19,‡4

§ IV 85 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


4.34.6 Estoppel by Silence. An estoppel arose when Defendants, specifically

Koster, counseled by Harlin, had an obligation and a duty to speak, and they

intentionally failed, or should have acted, and did not, or otherwise withheld

information for which they had the duty to provide the Plaintiffs. By Defendants'

silence that arises from their obligation their silence was maintained to intentionally

mislead that the Plaintiff would be deceived.

4.34.7 Defendants Fully Informed of Governing Laws. It cannot be claimed that

Defendants, particularly Scott A. Koster and Thomas Harlan were uninformed or

were ignorant of the law of torts, legal and equitable doctrines, the common law,

federal and state statutory law, nor the Defendants lawful duties therein prescribed as

Harlan had himself proclaimed his vast legal experience.45

4.34.8 Non-disclosure & Silence. The Defendants refused to produce any

verifiable documentation or information. Defendants, particularly Koster counseled by

Harlan, continued their conscious indifference to their fiduciary duty through silence,

concealment and non-disclosure of information legally due Plaintiffs. Koster and

Harlan knew they would be prohibited or otherwise be estopped from later making

certain related arguments, defenses or claiming certain related rights later. It is

evident, given the aforementioned fact, Koster and Harlan took into account their

tortious and/or illegal acts, their reckless and wanton disregard of the law, and the

harm they had, or would continue to inflict upon others, and with scienter, weighed the

risks of their deeds.‡2

4.35 6/30/2010 - KOSTER BMW MAJESTIC PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY -

USING THEIR OWN STRAW MAN. (Vol. 2 Exhibit 47)

On June 30, 2010 at 11:13:31 AM CST, Koster sent Flores a message (Vol. 2 Exhibit)

“Subject: Update with info on IDLYC/BMW Majestic” explaining the BMW Majestic

role:

4.35.1 [Ex. at ➀➔] On June 14, 2010, Koster received a document

[bmwmajesticUpdateletterJune142010.pdf] from BMW Majestic, presumably from

Woods, the same being received by IDLYC, presumably from Gelazela, and stated by

Koster to be confirmed by “the tracking number” as well as a phone call and e-mail

from Mark Gelazela.

4.35.2 [Ex. at ➁➔] Koster stated, “I had my contract with his [Gelazela’s] bank.

He [Koster’s contact at bank] felt very strongly that they [Gelazela/IDLYC] had both

the ability, and the commitment to all parites [sic] to issue the refunds within the

timeline stated in the document that was sent.” Thus, Koster committed that it was

highly probable that he would receive a refund for the Alicorn PSP.

4.35.3 [Ex. at ➂➔] I feel, as does my attorney [Harlan], that we are at the point of

escelation [sic]. Koster infers that he and Harlan intended to escalate the recovery of

funds by stronger measures, presumably litigation.‡5

4.35.4 [Ex. at ➃➔] Koster commits funding to restoring the

ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW MAJESTIC transaction performance failure with a (Gold)

Buy/Sell transaction.

§ IV 87 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


4.35.5 [Ex. at ➄➔] Koster introduces the purported evidence of BMW Majestic’s

confirmation to refund investment including a 10% fee and return all moneys by June

30, 2010 or sooner . The document appears to be completely fraudulent, showing

issuance without a signatory appearing on no letterhead.

4.35.6 [Ex. at ➅➔] Koster, after stating that he and Harlan were going to escalate

the recovery of funds now make a conflicting statement at ➅ in which they change

position concerning escalation of the funds recovery, stating “… it is not time to

escelate [sic].

4.35.7 Estoppel by Conflict. An estoppel arose when Defendants, specifically

Koster, counseled by Harlan, by changing positions that were conflicting with their

decision to seek, then not seeking recovery of funds through escalation . Thus Koster’s

statements and acts, concerning the decisions of he and Harlan, were in an

inconsistent position, attitude and course of conduct, that contributed to loss or injury

to the Plaintiffs and the proximate cause of the harm to the Plaintiffs.‡5

4.36 7/5/2010 – KOSTER WITHHOLDS EVIDENCE FROM FEDERAL SEC

INVESTIGATOR.

4.36.1 On Tuesday, July 5, 2010 at 19:12:09 GMT -0500 (7:12: 09 PM CST) Koster

sent a message to Flores concerning, inter alia, his interview by a United States

Security and Exchange Commission investigator. (Exhibit 53 at ➀):

Koster:
“I was also contacted again by the SEC investigator, asking if there was
anything new to report, and asked if I had received my refund from the
investment with IDLYC. He did state that there is an active investigation

§ IV 88 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


regarding this whole investment, and that it is larger than just IDLYC.
There were 5+ other firms like IDLYC that were transacting with BMW
Majestic.”

4.36.2 Koster came into conflict with Flores after Koster stated he was questioned

by SEC authorities and later withheld information concerning wire and telephone

communications with Woods and Gelazela. Flores, again admonished, Koster on

several occasions about Koster’s and Harlan’s intentional obstruction of justice and

pressed Koster to cease aiding and abetting the other members of the Syndicate

operation and their commission of crimes. Flores, stated to Koster, that Koster had

first hand information and other evidence, which he withheld from the Plaintiffs.

Koster was well aware of the demands for production of documents, and had failed to

produce that would evidence the activities of the Syndicate, and he was also aware of

the numerous legal notices he had received from Flores and had failed to act upon.

Given this, Koster failed to inform and provide the SEC investigator with that

information and from whom it had been demanded. Flores expressed that he would

inform the SEC if Koster would provide to him the evidence, but he couldn’t approach

the SEC or Justice Department with only heresy. By all accounts, Koster, Harlan and

Emre were aware of the criminal objectives of the Syndicate.

4.36.3 Koster corruptly influenced, obstructed, and impeded, or endeavored to

influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice, thereby may have

violated the crime of obstruction of justice, and the due administration of justice. His

conduct interfered with the judicial process by concealment. The defendant's endeavor

§ IV 89 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


to obstruct justice is sufficient to prove obstruction. Koster’s endeavor may constitute

a lesser threshold of purposeful activity than a criminal attempt.

4.36.4 Acquiescence.‡3 Further, Defendants, specifically Koster and Harlan,

continued their acquiescence to Flores' legal notifications arising after Flores gave

legal warning to Defendants based on clearly asserted facts and specification of

related legal principle, where after Koster and Harlan, did not respond within a

reasonable period of time.

By acquiescing, the Defendants lost the legal right to assert the contrary and

would be prohibited or otherwise estopped from later making certain related

arguments, defenses or claiming certain related rights. It is evident, given the

aforementioned facts, Defendants, particularly Koster and Harlan, took into account

their tortious and/or illegal acts, their reckless and wanton disregard of the law, and

the harm they had, or would continue to inflict upon others, and with scienter, weighed

the risks of their deeds.

4.36.5 Non-disclosure.‡2 The Defendants refused to produce any verifiable

documentation or information. Defendants, particularly Koster counseled by Harlan,

continued their conscious indifference to their fiduciary duty through silence,

concealment and non-disclosure of information legally due Plaintiffs. Koster and

Harlan knew they would be prohibited or otherwise be estopped from later making

certain related arguments, defenses or claiming certain related rights later. It is

evident, given the aforementioned fact , Koster and Harlan took into account their

tortious and/or illegal acts, their reckless and wanton disregard of the law, and the

§ IV 90 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


harm they had, or would continue to inflict upon others, and with scienter, weighed the

risks of their deeds.

4.36.6 Estoppel by Silence.‡4 An estoppel arose when Defendants, specifically

Koster and Harlan, had an obligation and a duty to speak, and they intentionally

failed, or should have acted, and did not, or otherwise withheld information for which

they had the duty to provide the Plaintiffs. By Defendants’ silence that arises from

their obligation their silence was maintained to intentionally mislead that the Plaintiff

would be deceived.

4.37 7/8/2010 - LEGAL NOTICE TO KOSTER & HARLAN - FLORES URGES

KOSTER NOT TO WITHHOLD EVIDENCE FROM SEC. (Exhibit 54)

4.37.1 [Ex. 54 at ➀➔] On Thursday, July 8, 2010 at 15:42:39 GMT (10:42 AM CST)

Flores sent a message to Koster inquiring, inter alia, urging Koster not to continue

concealing the mail fraud and potential RICO violation of the Syndicate.

Flores:

“Did you give the SEC a copy of that BMW Majestic phony-baloney refund
response letter from their Board of Directors? This has got to be
fraudulent as hell; thus, a act of mail fraud (probably just one among many
wire/mail frauds that have gone on) which could held as one of the minimum

4.38.1 On Thursday, July 8, 2010 1:40 PM, Scott Koster wrote within hours of

Flores’ inquiry of Koster’s disclosure of evidence of the fraud and criminal activities

related to the Syndicate.

Flores:

“Did you give the SEC a copy of that BMW Majestic phony-baloney
refund response letter from their Board of Directors? This has got to be
fraudulent as hell; thus, a act of mail fraud (probably just one among many
wire/mail frauds that have gone on) which could [be] held as one of the
minimum two predicate acts for the feds to move on RICO (racketeering)
charges against BMW.” [emphasis added]

Koster:

“I did not. I am meeting with my attorney next week to go over the course
of action from here. I do not want to spend too much money on it, as Im
already out 150k if they lost/spent the money, and are selling their stake
house. I want to see what my attorney can accomplish, prior to going too
much farther into my pocket to deal with it.” [emphasis added]

4.39 7/9/2010 – 2ND LEGAL NOTICE TO KOSTER OF FEDERAL CRIMES &

OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

4.39.1 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 09:27:38 AM CST Flores again sends legal notice to Koster

concerning the apparent civil fraud, felonies including wire fraud, obstruction of

justice†3 and other racketeering related activities which he and the Syndicate may be

engaged.

§ IV 92 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Flores:

“Just a note about BMW BoD refund response letter. Since it is related to
what may be a felony of felonies involving federal crimes, fraud, mail fraud,
and/or racketeering, inter alia, you may want to rethink the value of
withholding evidence. Having direct knowledge of a federal investigation
and withholding evidence may be construed as obstruction of justice and is a
federal crime. Just a thought ..”

4.39.2 Incorporating by reference the above ¶ 4.36.6, 4.37.1, pg. 91, 92, ¶ 4.36.6,

4.37.1, pg. 91, 92, and ¶ 4.38.1, pg. 92, as if fully set forth hereto, the Plaintiffs aver that

the Defendants and particularly Koster, Harlan, and Emre never responded to the

Plaintiff Flores’ legal notices. The only response from Koster is his admission that he

did withhold evidence from the United States Securities and Exchange investigating

officer, and otherwise did not produce the evidence or information thereto related in

Flores’ notices, and has continued to withhold critical information legally due the

Plaintiffs, as well as the United States government. Plaintiffs aver equitable estoppel,

attaching to the immediate aforesaid incorporated references, the following

thereupon:

4.39.3 Defendants, specifically Koster and Harlan, continued their acquiescence to

Flores' legal notifications arising after Flores gave legal warning to Defendants based

on clearly asserted facts and specification of related legal principle, where after

Koster and Harlan, did not respond within a reasonable period of time. By

acquiescing,‡3 the Defendants lost the legal right to assert the contrary and would be

prohibited or otherwise estopped from later making certain related arguments,

defenses or claiming certain related rights. It is evident, given the aforementioned

facts, Defendants, particularly Koster and Harlan, took into account their tortious

§ IV 93 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


and/or illegal acts, their reckless and wanton disregard of the law, and the harm they

had, or would continue to inflict upon others, and with scienter, weighed the risks of

their deeds.

4.39.4 An estoppel arose when Defendants, specifically Koster and Harlan, had an

obligation and a duty to speak, and they intentionally failed, or should have acted, and

did not, or otherwise withheld information for which they had the duty to provide the

Plaintiffs. Defendants’ silence‡4 was maintained to intentionally mislead, so that the

Plaintiffs would continued to be deceived.

4.39.5 The Defendants refused to produce any verifiable documentation or

information. Defendants, particularly Koster counseled by Harlan, continued their

conscious indifference to their fiduciary duty through silence, concealment and non-

disclosure ‡2 of information legally due Plaintiffs. Koster and Harlan knew they would

be prohibited or otherwise be estopped from later making certain related arguments,

defenses or claiming certain related rights later. It is evident, given the

aforementioned fact, Koster and Harlan took into account their tortious and/or illegal

acts, their reckless and wanton disregard of the law, and the harm they had, or would

continue to inflict upon others, and with scienter, weighed the risks of their deeds.

4.39.6 Defendants, particularly Koster and Harlan, had knowledge of the true

facts and circumstances, and had fiduciary duty*2 including the duty to speak, inform

and provide documentary verification to the Plaintiffs, as that duty of care had arisen

in this instance. However, they did not, and instead coerced reliance with fraudulent

intent, and maintained and continued the various frauds, fully aware of the

§ IV 94 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


consequences of their tortuous acts which they knew would injure the Plaintiffs.

Defendants, but particularly Koster and Harlan, also knew that they were concealing

information of grave consequential import to the Plaintiffs, and as well maintained the

fraudulent concealment of their fraudulent acts.

4.39.7 Defendants Fully Informed of Governing Laws.‡3 It cannot be claimed that

Defendants, particularly Scott A. Koster and Thomas P. Harlan were uninformed or

were ignorant of the law of torts, legal and equitable doctrines, the common law,

federal and state statutory and criminal law, nor the Defendants lawful duties therein

prescribed.

4.40 7/29/ 2010 - ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF DAMAGES AND HARM BY

SILENCE.

4.40.1 The allegations and facts informing Defendants of damages and harm to the

Plaintiffs incurred by and through Defendants’ non-performance, fraud, maleficence

and/or crimes contained in Vol. 2 Exhibit 52 (incorporated by reference) and on pages

49, 51, 59, 60, 69, 71, 169 of this Complaint are hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all

purposes, and incorporated herein with the same force and effect as if set forth

verbatim herein.

4.40.2 Flores July 29TH Msg., 222ND Day of Transaction - Notice of Damages &

Non-Performance.

On Thursday, July 29, 2010 8:17 AM Flores reminds Koster and Childs of damages

the Defendants are inflicting upon the Plaintiffs. (Exhibit 59)

§ IV 95 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


4.40.3 The Defendants by the two-hundred and twenty-second day of the

ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW investment transaction had been fully informed and aware

of the amount of damages and the harm they had inflicted upon the Plaintiffs. They

cannot argue that they did not have knowledge or were not informed.

4.40.4 By their non-disclosure they had deprived the Plaintiffs of critical

information in which they could have understood the degree of fraud being

perpetrated. Further, the Defendants made misrepresentations of the facts of all the

transactions and processes in the PSP, and investment. The facts provided the

Plaintiffs by the Defendants were misrepresented information that was intentionally

ambiguous. And by Defendants’ silence they maliciously allowed the Plaintiffs’

damages to accumulate thorough that silence when they had a fiduciary duty to speak

with candor and honesty. The Defendants did not. Defendants’ silence and all the

foregoing prevented the Plaintiffs engagement of federal and state law enforcement,

and other agencies which may have been able to cause the cessation of fraud and

criminal activity of the Syndicate. As a result Plaintiffs may have had an opportunity

to recover a portion of the damages.*3,*5,†2,,‡4,‡6

4.40.5 Defendants, cannot be claim, particularly Scott A. Koster and Thomas P.

Harlan, that they were uninformed or were ignorant of the United States and Texas

statutory and common law, nor their lawful or professional duties.

4.41 7/29-8/16/2010 – 2ND FRAUD SCHEME – GENESIS (Berea/Hall Gold Buy/Sell)

4.41.1 Conditions & Agreement. Flores Sets Conditions for Richard Hall Gold

Buy/sell Substitution. In the period between July 29, 2010 to August 16, 2010 Flores,

in telephone conversations with Koster, expressed that he wanted assurances that

Richard Hall and his company including Vladimir Pierre-Louise and Christine

Wong-Sang would provide complete transparency to the Richard Hall Gold

Transaction, accessability to Richard Hall and a committed understanding to maintain

regular communications with verifiable frequent status reports, copies of the assay

information, and that the documents moving the Plaintiffs over to the Gold

Transaction be simultaneously executed by all parties on the same day. Koster stated

that could be done as soon as “Richard had the exit plan in place.”

4.41.2 Plaintiffs Plan for Use of Gold Buy/Sell Funds for Critical Short-Term

Damage Recovery from the ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW Non-performance. Plaintiffs’

plan was to initiate the purchase of a Hong Kong bank instrument to secure a loan to

recover what was left of the severely damaged film slate, and financial damages to film

production crews and talent commitments. It was critical that Flores move quickly

with no delays to use the Gold Buy/Sell revenues to recover, and it was essential for

funds to move directly to a Hong Kong bank to secure the collateral for a loan. The

Plaintiff could then bring the balance of the revenue to help Clarkson recover from the

losses in her real-estate business and damages from lost investment opportunities.

4.41.3 Koster Delivers Partnership Termination and Wind-up Agreement and

Mutual Release &c. (Exhibit 63)

On 8/16/2010 3:11 AM, Scott Koster wrote:


“Attached is the document [Partnership Termination and Wind-up
Agreement and Mutual Release &c.] for the movement of you and the
other two parties forward into the instrument as discussed. This will be
the first step. Upon executing this document, we will get the buy/sell
group to explain their process to you, and have you get an
understanding/comfort level in moving forward.”

4.41.4 Contract Executed under Coercion and Duress. Because of the delayed

funding from the Alicorn PSP failure to perform, and because Plaintiffs had incurred

substantial liabilities and damages in reliance on Emre’s and Koster's representations,

the Plaintiffs were forced to endure significant financial distress and emotional

anguish as a result. Koster, Harlan, Childs and Emre were fully aware of those

damages and the harm they had dispensed46 and intended to exploit the Plaintiffs’

anguish as a tool of malice they had forged through detrimental reliance of the

Plaintiffs to Defendants’ extortive ends. Koster and Harlan exploited Plaintiffs’

condition to coerce their submission to an onerous and punitive agreement,47 (the

"First Settlement Agreement").†4

4.42 8/18/2010 - FLORES’ SIGNATURE WITHDRAWAL

4.42.1 On August 18, 2010 2:44:30 PM CST, Flores sent a message informing

Koster of his signature withdrawal from the PARTNERSHIP TERMINATION

AND WIND-UP AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE (the “First Wind-up

Agreement”) resulting from Koster’s failure to respond by counter signing the

agreement on the same day, failing to send an electronic copy by e-mail, returning a

duplicate original of the countersigned document by mail and immediately executing

the gold buy/sell contract between Richard Hall and Flores. The conditions of the

execution had been previously arranged so that the documents moving the Plaintiffs

over to the Gold Transaction be simultaneously executed by all parties on the same

day”, which, Koster stated could be done as soon as Richard had the “exit plan in

place”.48 Flores waited throughout the day of the 16TH and 17TH with no response from

Koster. On August 18, 2010 at 2:44:30 PM CST, Flores notified Koster that he had

withdrawn his signature and for Koster to update Flores with the schedule, so they

could complete the execution of the agreement at that time. (Exhibit 64)

4.43 8/24/2010 - KOSTER ESTABLISHES EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN

THE 1ST WIND-UP AGREEMENT - EVIDENCE OF AUGUST 16TH DOCUMENT

FORGERY

4.43.1 On August 24, 2010 11:18:36 AM, Koster explains the document he sent

should have had his signature, which, in fact, it did not.49 Koster indicates that he will

sign the document when he returns and is at his desk.

4.43.2 Koster never delivered the counter-signed document until after he

responded to Flores and Clarkson’s attorney Gary Grab’s demand for production of

Documents letter. The counter-signed document arrived November 17, 2010 at 1:13

AM CST to Flores. It was then discovered by Vicki Clarkson that Flores’ signature

had been forged onto a non-original signature page which didn’t bear the embedded

watermark seal50 of the original document51 whereupon Flores had signed. Not only

had Koster forged Flores’ signature on a fraudulent signature page, but had

backdated the signature date of his signature to reflect that he executed the

agreement on August 17, 2010.

4.43.3 Koster penned the fraudulent signature date to have it appear as though he

had inscribed his signature on August 17TH. In fact, Koster hadn’t signed the

document or given any notion to sign it. It wasn’t until one week after Flores

informed Koster of his signature withdrawal of August 18TH that Koster had even

given thought to signing the document, as Koster said he would sign the agreement

when he returned “back to [his] desk” on August 24TH .52

Koster had forged Flores’ signature on the fraudulent signature page with a

falsified signature date for Koster’s own signature. There could only be one objective

for Koster to risk the penalty for the criminal act of forgery by wire fraud; his purpose

was to falsely establish Koster’s execution of the document prior to Flores’ signature

withdrawal date. This act establishes more than the tort of civil fraud.

4.43.4 Koster sent documents, falsified by forgery, affecting a monetary

transaction value exceeding millions of dollars, directly in the offer and sale of

securities. He did so through the use of interstate commerce and by use of the public

wire over the Internet. This action is a violation of State and federal crimes including:

felony Forgery,53 †5 and felony federal Wire Fraud,54 †2,†7,†8 that are both elements of

Racketeering†9 (RICO)55.

4.46 9/1/2010 12:01 AM - 2ND FRAUD SCHEME - DURING CONFERENCE

KOSTER INITIATES AN EXTORTION KICKBACK PLOT

4.46.1 9/1/2010 12:01 AM - Richard Hall/Gold Buy/Sell Telephone Conference. On

September 1, 2010 21:01 CST, Flores joined a conference call on conference line

number 218-844-8230 access code 380262# already in progress.

Toward the end of the teleconference call, Richard Hall inquired about the method

Plaintiffs would prefer their funds were to be transferred:

September 1, 2010, Dallas, Texas, Central Standard Time.

12:45:23 PM Hall: “If you want us to, you know, to Panama it might be
easier, ahh, and faster to receive your funds for each
disbursement if were to transact in Dubia, umm, that way
we avoid the U S altogether …
12:45:33 PM Flores: Okay
12:45:44 PM Hall: But until, it’s up to you guys
12:45:47 PM Flores: Well, if you want to do, ahh (pause) Dubia, (Koster
interruption) Dubia is fine ,
12:45:51 PM Koster: Let me give you an answer to that

12:45:51 PM Flores: Dubia is fine with us (Koster interruption unintelligible)


either way
12:45:51 PM Koster: Regarding the other two partners Lance, ahh
12:45:52 PM Flores: Yeah
12:45:52 PM Koster: You should probably find out where they’re sitting ‘cause I
know beyond a shadow a doubt that ah Doctor Fletcher
has put that very clearly he wants to keep the funds here
in the U S”

§ IV 103 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Koster, interrupts the dialogue between Hall and Flores and interposes himself

into the conversation becoming adamant about how the other two partners wanted

their funds transferred. Koster became even more emphatic in his interjection stating

that Eugene Fletcher was “beyond a shadow of a doubt” insistent that the funds be

kept in the U.S. to the point that it appeared that Fletcher had taken over the control

and management of the Plaintiffs’ “one-third” interest of the Gold Transaction; i.e. the

Plaintiffs assets, or rights to Plaintiffs share from the Gold Transaction generated

revenues.

In retrospection, Koster, if his statement was truthful, directly implicates Eugene

Fletcher as a co-conspirator in a felony conspiracy of the extortion scheme Koster was

plotting. If Koster had lied in his statement about Fletcher’s involvement and

interference on September 1, 2010 at 12:45:52 PM CST in the teleconference, then he

made a tortious fraudulent statement for his own purpose in an act of wire fraud.†2,†7,†8

4.46.2 9/4/2010 8:24 AM Flores Raises Issues with Koster Concerning the Eugene

Fletcher’s Control of the Payout Stream Raised During the Teleconference. In a

message on September 4, 2010 8:24:17, Flores queries Koster about the due diligence

on Richard Hall’s group and Fletcher’s involvement in taking unlawful and illegal

control of Plaintiffs’ assets.

Flores:

“1. Can we get the Richard's Company information and contracts so we can
complete due diligence and wrap up this transaction, or at least find out
what the timeline is going to be.

2. Why do all the payment transactions have to come through the U.S. when
Dubai is faster?

§ IV 104 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


3. If Eugene insists his funds be issued from the U.S. why is it necessary for
everyone else's funds xfer's be the same?

4. Is Eugene controlling the funds?

5. If Eugene's selection is a requirement, I presume he will be liable for


damages incurred by delays, Homeland confiscations, etc.”

(Exhibit 74 at ➀)

4.47 9/6/2010 11:10 AM – 2ND FRAUD SCHEME - THE SHAKEDOWN.†4

4.47.1 Koster Reveals the Shakedown and the Eventual Take it or Loose

Everything Deal. On Saturday, September 4, 2010 7:11:33 PM, Koster laid out the

extortion kickback for his front man Kerim S. Emre, relating the payoff he wanted as

Kerim’s “initial agreement.” What Koster was referring to as the initial agreement,

was the 16.7% piece of the action, the investment returns, required by the Syndicate,

out of the Plaintiffs’ earnings from the Alicorn PSP investment with IDLYC and

BMW. (Exhibit 74)

The Richard Hall Gold By/Sell transaction was the sentiment for payment of

partial damages and all of the ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW investment non-performance

that would be recovered by “levering up” the gold returns until complete payment was

made. Emre had not negotiated a settlement with the Plaintiffs for the damages nor

non-performance and just wanted to stiff the Plaintiffs out of their money and

damages at the time. However, Emre was still liable for those damages, and Koster

was aware of this.

§ IV 105 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Now, Koster unveils the shakedown for the kickback to Emre. This was the

ulterior motive56 for not transacting out of Dubia. Koster’s purpose in requiring the

money to come stateside prior to Plaintiffs receipt of their funds, was to afford Koster

the opportunity to take control of Plaintiffs’ revenue stream from the settlement

before Flores could refuse to pay the extortion and instead pay for the collateral for a

loan out of Hong Kong. Moreover, another one-third-interest-partner, Arcadia Ivan A.

Santos III (“Ivan Santos”), lives in Manila and is a citizen of the Republic of the

Philippines, and had no interest nor any reason to have his settlement funds going to

the Unites States. There is no other reason for Koster’s control of Plaintiffs’ revenues

from the Gold Transaction. Eventually Plaintiffs discovered Koster’s intent to have

the funds processed stateside, and the conspiracy to extort money from the Plaintiffs.

With control of the revenue stream, Koster would coerce the Plaintiffs and deceive

Ivan Santos into signing “legal looking” documents. The document, that was to be

executed, was little more than a facade for the theft of money by extortion in a 16.7%

kickback scheme to Emre. Koster made little effort to cloak the extortion paid to his

front man. Emre had no contract for any services to the Plaintiffs and was liable for

damages and non-performance from the ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW transaction.

However, Koster does make an attempt to cloud his statement implicating Eugene

Fletcher in the scheme but does not fully withdraw his insinuation. Koster claims that

each of the partners has a separate contract for his one-third (⅓) interest57 in the use

of the SBLC, for the Gold Transaction.

On Thursday 9/9/2010 11:04 AM, John Childs contacted Flores and former PSP

partners to describe the procedure and specification of the Richard Hall Gold

Transaction requesting a second Client Information Sheet (CIS):

“Gentleman,
To date I have only received the Completed CIS for Ivan. Thanks you Ivan.
In order for me to proceed to the next step with the paperwork, I need the
remaining two CIS packages. Thanks in advance. Upon receipt and
succesful review of all three packages I intend to do the following and in this
order:

* Prepare an FPA (this will insure that the proceeds are distributed
properly to the three of you) and Sub Fee Agreemet (this will ensure that
all brokers are paid properly) for Dr. Fletcher and his team.
* Prepare a Sub Fee Agreement for Ivan. [Arcadia Ivan A. Santos III]
* Prepare a Sub Fee Agreement for Lance.

Once they have been executed and returned to me, I will lodge them with
my paymaster He will distribute the funds accordingly and to their proper
destinations as they come in. Once this is done I will:

* Prepare the contracts for delivery of the SBLC for review and
subsequent execution.
* Scott will request the Asset Management Agreement from Richard Hall
and his group for your review and subsequent execution.
* Scott will fund escrow.
* I will complete the transaction detail report for the SBLC provider.
* The SBLC will be delivered electronicly.
* The Escrow will be released and my lender paid.
* The SWIFT will be requested and delivered Standard Bank of South
Africa (MT798 Envelope / MT760).
* The ISN number will be generated upon successful receipt of the
SWIFT.
* My roll and Alicorn's roll as SBLC provider will be concluded at this
point and you will be in the very capable hands of Richard and his team.

Nonexistent Agreement or commitment to take a kickback on the settlement of the

ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW tranaction nonperformance and damages.

§ IV 109 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


On Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 10:17:32 AM, Koster sends an e-mail message

asking Flores to “stop with the legal talk” and insists on continuing the extortion using

his “Doublespeak” referring to the Plaintiffs’ refusal to pay the extortion kickback as

dodging some kind of legitimate financial obligation:

Koster:

“Lance, please stop with all the legal talk. I'm saying this just to you. Its not
making the situation any easier. The deal I have with john is for he and I to
waive any front load commissions for the instrument...nothing more,
nothing less. He is upset about you dodging the fpa you have with kerim.
(Exhibit 74 at ➐)

“John is an adversary, and not an opponent. However, he does have the


legit ability to kill this, as it was his relationship to the lender that made all
this possible in the first place. (id. at ➑)”

John Childs had already acknowledged58 that Emre had a fee payment agreement

for the ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW transacton and nothing more. There was no

reasonable explanation why Emre should be receiving part of the damages settlement.

Koster, Emre and Childs were all fully aware that there was no fee payment

agreement for Emre to receive a kickback from the settlement damages for which,

inter alios, Koster, Emre, and Childs were liable for the non-performance, damages

and they knew they had incurred liability for each of their participation in the

commission of their tortious conduct. Yet, here, once more, they continue their

shakedown for a kickback.

4.48.4.1 Arsonist Analogy: It is well established by Childs that Emre was not

entitled to compensation from the Alicorn settlement for the damages and harm to

58
Supra, at 4.48.1

§ IV 110 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


the Plaintiffs, which Emre had a hand in. Yet, both were determined to get a

kickback out of the settlement for Emre. Such would be akin to the arsonist who

burned one’s house down to cover up a robbery then returning to the resident’s

home after the insurance check arrives to demand a piece of the insurance claim.

4.48.5 9/7/2010 11:05 AM, John Childs Advances a New Extortion and Strikes out

to Kill the Richard Hall/berea Gold Transaction.†4 Fifty-two minutes following

Koster’s 10:17 AM message, Childs sends a message to Flores exhorting his own

kickback extortion of Three-hundred Fifty-thousand Dollars U.S. ($350,000 USD).

(Vol. 3 Exhibit 74 at ➒)

4.48.6 9/22/2010 9:54 PM CST - Flores Gives Notice to Koster and Emre That

Emre Has No Wavier.

On Thursday, September 9, 2010 9:54 PM CST, Flores informs Koster:

“I do not have any waiver agreement with Kerim for damages liability for
IDLYC/BMW Majestic so I do not want to complicate matters; better stay
away from Mark [Wolanin] getting involved in this transaction. I have another
gold buy/sell I can get Mark into in the morning.” (id.)

4.48.7 The Defendants particularly Koster, counseled by Harlan, Emre and

Childs, continued their conscious indifference to Defendants’ fiduciary duty through ,

Breach of Common Law Duty of Good Faith legally due Plaintiffs. Childs and Koster

counseled by Harlan, knew the consequences of their action to extort the Emre

Kickback from the Plaintiffs and wilfully with malice aforethought, conspired in an act

4.49 10/11/2010 - KOSTER ANNOUNCES READY TO EXECUTE GOLD

TRANSACTION - IDENTIFIES THE THREE PARTNERS

4.49.1 On Monday, October 11, 2010 2:06 PM, Scott Koster announced “ready to

execute … live by end of the week.” (Vol. 4 Exhibit 79 at ➀).

The next day on October 12TH at 6:04 PM Flores inquires about the issue of a

transaction code. (Vol. 4 Exhibit 79 at ➁)

Koster immediately answers at 6:05 PM, stating, “Yes sir, we are getting all docs

put together.” (Vol. 4 Exhibit 79 at ➂)

4.49.2 Flores responds to Koster’s agreement being full of holes and weak, noting

it would be unlikely to be upheld in a court of law.59

4.49.3 On Monday, October 18, 2010, at 11:37:36 Koster sends a message to Flores,

copying Childs and Emre. At this time, there had been no verification of the execution

of the Gold Transaction having been executed as had been stated by Koster earlier

(¶ 4.49.1) on October 11TH. In the message Koster states that the three partners (MFI

a.k.a. R. Lance Flores, Winston J. Cook, and Ivan Arcadio Santos identified in the

attachment have equal ownership thus rights, in the interests of the financial

instrument which Winston J. Cook would execute.60

4.49.4 On Monday, October 18, 2010 12:03:06 PM CST, Flores responds to

Koster’s 11:37 AM message and amends, signs and sends the Partnership Termination

and Wind-Up &c. document to Scott Koster.61

4.49.5 Just over three hours later at 3:26 PM, Koster sends a message with an

attached document appearing similar to the one he had sent earlier at 11:37 AM that

morning. The 3:26 PM document had, what appeared to be, the signature of Ivan

Santos, however, it had been altered from the original 11:37 AM document at the

signature page, previously showing “Arcadio Ivan Santos III” under the signature,

whereas, the 3:36 PM document sent to Flores, originally was typewritten with “Ivan

Arcadia Santos” at the signature location for Mr. Santos.

4.50.1 On Tuesday, October 19, 2010 5:45:07 PM, Subject: Your final Piece, John

Childs wrote:

“Lance,

“I have attached a Sub Fee Agreement to this email. This is the final piece

Header and return it to me. Once I have the entire file completed, I will
disseminate it to all three parties. Thanks in advance for both your time
and consideration in this matter. &c.” (Exhibit 83)

Relentless in the group’s extortion pursuits, Childs delivers the last extortion demand by

sending an attached Sub Fee Agreement, disregarding his acknowledgment and

61
Exhibit 81

§ IV 113 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


knowledge of he, Koster, and Emre, had that there was no agreement for Emre to receive

any payoff, kickback or part of the Plaintiffs’ settlement funds. Childs uses his own

Doublespeak, writing:

“I have attached a Sub Fee Agreement to this email. This is the final piece
of paperwork that requires your attention as it address' your obligations.
The other partners have their own obligations. That said this does not
affect them nor will theirs you. Please sign it, add your letterhead to the
Header and return it to me. Once I have the entire file completed, I will
disseminate it to all three parties. Thanks in advance for both your time
and consideration in this matter.” (Exhibit 74 at ➓) (Sub Fee Agreement,
see Exhibit 75)

Upon examination of the extortion demand delivered by Childs, the extortion kickback

for Emre was sixteen and seven-tenths percent (16.7%) to be taken from every payment

for the performance default and damages reconciliation made to the Plaintiffs’ in the

settlement payment stream. In addition to the kickback, the Sub Fee Agreement

contained a separate agreement written in behalf of Plaintiff Vicki Clarkson who was

neither made aware of what Childs had sent, nor had she given her consent to anyone to

represent her financial interests, nor had she given her power of attorney to anyone to

represent her in any legal capacity, nor had she appointed an agent to act in her behalf to

enter her into any agreement. Not only was the document an extortion instrument, but

also a fraudulent instrument sent by wire, over the Internet.

4.50.2 10/19/2010 6:11 PM CST - Flores Responds to the Extortion Demand.

On Tuesday, October 19, 2010 6:11 PM, Twenty-one minutes following Childs’

delivery of the extortion demand, Flores demands proof of an executed agreement or

contact information of Childs attorney:

§ IV 114 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


“Provide all background information and the signed agreement between
Kerim & Mockingbird Films. Provide all notification information of this
subject matter that was delivered to Mockingbird Films prior to 10/19/2010
5:45 PM message sent to mockingbirdfilms.com mail from John Childs.
Please provide a contact phone number which you can be contacted by my
legal team and I; or provide your legal counsel's name and contact
information.” (Exhibit 74 at 11)

It was on this day that the Plaintiffs after substantial discussion and due

consideration, that Clarkson and Flores decided they would pursue litigation which

Flores had previously outlined in telephone conversations with Koster.

4.50.3 The Defendants particularly Koster, counseled by Harlan, Emre and

Childs, breached their Defendants’ fiduciary duty through , Breach of Common Law

FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY, INTERSTATE FRAUD, AND EXTORTION.

On Wednesday, October 20, 2010, Flores responds to Koster concerning Childs’

extortion demand and fraudulent exaction document. Flores again noted that Emre,

Alicorn and Koster had not executed a settlement and release from liabilities related

to the Syndicate’s and their failure to perform and the related damages. Likewise,

Flores gave notice to Koster concerning the recent activities of he, and Childs, that

§ IV 115 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


they had breached their fiduciary responsibility, and engaged in interstate fraud, and

extortion.‡3 (Exhibit 74 at 12)

4.52 10/21/2010 3:00 PM – CHILDS IDENTIFIES EMRE AS AUTHOR OF

EXTORTION DOCUMENT AND IN THE FRAUDULENT REPRESENTATION OF

CLARKSON AND IMPLICATES EMRE IN THE EXTORTION†2,†7,†8

On Thursday, October 21, 2010, Childs sent a message to insure the Plaintiffs that

Emre was the author of the sub fee agreement, that Childs was using to extort the

kickback for Emre, and thus implicating Emre in the extortion conspiracy along with

himself and Koster. This also implicates Emre in the unlawful and illegal

misrepresentation of Vicki Clarkson and fraudulent representation of her in the

extortion document, falsely representing her by failing to inform her and obtaining

her consent.

4.52.1 On 10/21/2010 11:08 PM, Scott Koster wrote:

“Rather than point out where you see the liability is with Kerim, lets [sic]
focus on one thing, which is what is holding us back from moving this
forward [i.e., Emre’s kickback on the non-performance and damages
settlement]” (Vol. 4 Exhibit 84 at ➁)

“Lance, do you agree that because you came into this transaction through
your relationship with Kerim, that Kerim deserves some level of
compensation [payoff] for helping us get all the pieces together for this
instrument [settlement for Defendants’ non-performance, damages and
harm]?” (at ➂)

“… please respond with what you feel is a fair % for Kerim to receive,
and lets start there. I am just doing this as a friend to both of you, but
more so because I want this to move forward.” (at ➃)

§ IV 116 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


4.52.2 Beyond question, Koster was extorting a kickback that would be funneled to

Emre taking some of the action from the settlement. Koster then advanced to Flores

in the message a reasoned solicitation for Flores to make a negotiable offer for Emre’s

payoff.

Koster, Emre and Childs had a meeting of the minds to use the Plaintiffs’ duress

as an advantage in an eleventh hour extortion kickback and payoff scheme to Emre.

4.52.3 The Defendants particularly Koster, counseled by Harlan, Emre and

Childs, continued their conscious indifference to Defendants’ fiduciary duty through ,

Breach of Common Law Duty of Good Faith legally due Plaintiffs. Childs and Koster

4.53 10/21/2919 - KOSTER WANTS A STOP OF LEGAL NOTICES “FOR

EVERYONE TO SEE”

4.53.1 On 10/21/2010 11:08 PM, Scott Koster wrote “… as I have told you in the

past, while I appreciate and understand your legal background, putting all that out

there for everyone to see does nothing but put people on the defensive.” (Vol. 4

Exhibit 84 at ➀)

4.53.2 Harlan and Koster were uncomfortably aware that Flores had been

providing legal notice and warning throughout the course of their fraud actions and

§ IV 117 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


posed potential criminal activity of the Defendants. Given Harlan’s legal training, long

experience, FN 40 and understanding of his professional duties FN 41 it is evident

Defendants Harlan and Koster needed Flores to cease and desist from his lawful

warnings, in order that they might attempt a defense of their tortious actions. Harlan

and Koster with full cognisance and understanding of related and prevailing law and

doctrine, and knowing the risks of Defendants’ acquiesce, thus far, and with

expectation of their need to continue, the anticipated continuance of Flores’ legal

notices and warnings, attempted with scienter, to coerce Flores into ceasing his

disciplined procedure.

4.54 10/25/2010 - PLAINTIFFS DEMAND STATUS TERMS AND TIME-LINE

4.54.2 In the period between October 25TH and November 1ST Flores called Koster

to have him respond to the Plaintiffs numerous demand for the status and time-line of

Thus far, I haven't seen any changes since the IDYLC deal, none.

“What is the status of the gold buy/sell?

“Kerim advised it would be completed on August 10th, via a telephone


conversation I had with him in early August. Here we are today, the second
of November and we are still no closer to understanding where this deal is
at.

“Do you have any verifiable documents that you can send out? Such as the
SBLC document? Verification that there is one in place?

“In my last conversation with Lance, I was told that contracts were

4.57.1 After numerous inquires to Koster and his refusal to relinquish

information requests for the names and contact information of the PSP partners and

those involved in the Gold Transaction, Flores locates Winston Jerome Cook. Cook

was either a partner or a business associate of Eugene Fletcher.

On October 28, 2010 at 2:10 PM Flores located Cook on the “Facebook” social

network site and made contact. (Exhibit 87)

Flores spoke to Cook late Tuesday afternoon on November 2, 2010. Flores asked

Cook if he had heard or received any funds from IDLYC or ALICORN or heard from

Koster about the investment returns or status of the Gold Transaction; to which Cook

§ IV 120 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


replied, he hadn’t. Flores informed Cook that he believed that Koster, IDLYC and

BMW Majestic were hiding funds and were involved in a fraud scheme. Flores stated

if he didn’t get some immediate clarification and verifiable information he would be

moving onto litigation of the issues. The two exchanged information and discussion

about their businesses and concluded the conversation.

4.60.1 Koster Threatens and Acts to Attempts and Intentionally Tortuously

Interferes with the Gold Transaction Agreement. Koster’s suggests in his message,

that following Winston J. Cook and Flores conversation, Cook had apparently

informed Eugene Fletcher of the details of that phone call. Plaintiffs had never met or

been given Fletcher’s contact information and were unable question him about his

insistence in taking control of Plaintiffs’ funds. In his message, Koster infers that the

62
Conversion is the wrongful exercise of dominion or control over the property of another in denial
of, or inconsistent with, the other's right to the property. AIG Life Ins. Co. v. Federated Mutual Ins. Co.,
200 S.W .3d 280, 285 (Tex.App.Dallas 2006, pet. denied). A claim lies for conversion of money when
identification of the money is possible and there is an obligation to deliver the money in question. Id. The
factual allegations in Plaintiff's amended complaint are sufficient to state a claim for conversion. Defendants
also contend that Plaintiff has failed to allege "demand and refusal." A demand for property and refusal to
return the property may be necessary when the possession is initially lawful, because the refusal is what
makes the possession unlawful, and a cause of action may then accrue. Hofland v. Elgin-Butler Brick Co.,
834 S.W .2d 409, 413 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 1992, no writ). A demand and refusal is not necessary for
every conversion cause of action to accrue.

§ IV 123 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Plaintiffs demands and their decision to litigate aggravated Cook, Fletcher, Koster

and others, and angered some so much, that the group deemed Clarkson and Flores

too unsafe to be involved in the transaction. Further, the group would not tolerate

Plaintiffs constant demands for proof, legal notice, and menace of exposure of the

group’s activities to federal authorities. id. at ➀.

4.60.2 Koster’s threat of “[i]f you wish to proceed in either this transaction, or just

back out, let me know”, is his ultimatum, to either pay the extortion and stay away

from the “feds” or Plaintiffs would pay dearly and loose everything and intentionally

interfere with an existing contract.

This was the consequence of the Plaintiffs discussion and ultimate decision to

proceed to litigation and involve the SEC and Justice Department. This was done

only after Plaintiffs had undertaken extensive investigation, research, and analysis

and could present more than hearsay and supposition to the Court and federal official.

Koster had once more voiced his cooperate and keep away from the “feds” or

loose everything threat,63 and continued his tactic of instilling the fear of losing

everything.64 With his claim of the enlistment of Richard Hall, and two partners,

Winston J. Cook and Eugene Fletcher, “Dr. Fletcher and his team,”65 Koster

becomes more cavalier about extorting a kickback from the Plaintiffs.

4.60.3 The Defendants refused to produce any verifiable documentation or

information. Defendants, particularly Koster counseled by Harlan, continued their

particularly Promissory Estoppel, Estoppel by Non-disclosure, Estoppel by Silence,

Estoppel by Estoppel by Misrepresentation, or otherwise be estopped from later

making certain related arguments, defenses or claiming certain related rights later.

Further, the Defendant did so with malice and executed their torts and intentionally

4.61 11/11/2010 1:23 PM - KOSTER DECLARES HE CAN PROVE AND DEFEND

November 11, 2010 at 1:23 PM

Koster:
"Everything that has been done to this point can be proven and defended
in a court of law. Please tread carefully, as we are very aware of the lies you
have told about your involvement with myself, as well as how you passed
money through your family to get back to you.” (emphasis added)
(Exhibit 89 at ➁)

4.61.1 Koster makes a declaration that he can prove and defend “[e]verything,”

which would include, inter alia, his breach of contract, breach of good faith, breach of

fiduciary duty, misrepresentations, bad faith, intentional misstatements, deception,

non-disclosure, willful omissions, tortious interference with prospective contract and

all his duplicitous pursuits; notwithstanding the production of all of the associated

information and documents related to the ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW transaction and

the ALICORN/HALL/BEREA/CBS Enterprise Gold Transaction. (Vol. 4 Exhibit 89

at ➁)

4.61.2 FEDERAL COURT DARE. Koster to the date of the filing of this

Complaint, has extended a pattern of breaches of fiduciary duty, concealment of

activities, including alleged criminal activities, and the withholding of information

directly affecting the financial welfare of the Plaintiffs and substantially harming

numerous members of the communities involved in the Plaintiffs’ business activities.

Defendants, but particularly Koster and Harlan are fully aware of the substantial cost,

and emotional distress they would inflict, as well as the difficulty of litigating a fraud

case such as this.

4.61.3 Defendants, but particularly Koster whose legal counsel is Thomas P.

Harlan, had effectively disaffected or conspired with others, or by knowledge of the

activities in the Syndicate or the Gold Transaction were aware of other Defendants

that have dissuaded victims66 from pursuing them in the courts. They have taken their

proven ability to deter action taken against the Syndicate and the Collective into

account, have weighed the risks of potential civil and criminal prosecution, and have

chosen a posture of forcing Plaintiffs into a standoff. Here, Koster, maintains the

standoff in his course of holding hostage the critical information due the Plaintiffs, and

66
e.g., “… I considered the FBI but I was embarressed [sic] and I didn't want to tarnish my own
name by lodging an investigation with the FBI. I talked with other brokers that brought their clients to
Mark and Chandler to see if they had been paid and they were in the same boat … Finally, I contacted a
friend that has conections [sic] in the FBI and asked if he could look into these two guys. He simply said

their earning, essentially daring the Plaintiffs to litigate by his statement,

"[e]verything that has been done to this point can be proven and defended in a court of

law.”

4.61.4 Defendants and Koster had that opportunity to prove and defend

“[e]verything that has been done to this point” at that moment in time. Moreover, each

time Flores or Clarkson demanded production of verifiable documentary evidence,

and each time they asked for disclosure, Defendants should have disclosed and

defended each time. Defendants, specifically Koster, Emre, Harlan, and Childs, could

have taken those opportunities, and this instant opportunity, to provide what they

claim they could do “in a court of law.” Instead, they chose not to do so, and chose to

risk everything on their bluff.

4.61.5 Koster Cannot Now Present Evidence and Seek a Defense as Koster

forewent that opportunity to speak long ago and is estopped from doing so by

equitable estoppel. Koster, et al., foreswore that duty and opportunity to produce

verifiable documentary evidence before the Plaintiffs suffered accumulating

irrevocable damage; this, notwithstanding non-performance of neither the

ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW transaction nor the ALICORN/HALL/BEREA/CBS Gold

Buy/Sell substitution.

4.61.6 The Defendants have far exceeded any reasonable period to respond and

produce, and are barred by equitable tolling to now respond to Plaintiffs’ demands or

effect their fiduciary duty. Defendants, particularly Koster counseled by Harlan,

continued their conscious indifference to their fiduciary duty through silence,

§ IV 127 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


concealment and non-disclosure of information legally due Plaintiffs. Koster and

Harlan knew they would be prohibited or otherwise be estopped‡ from later making

certain related arguments, defenses or claiming certain related rights later.

4.61.7 It is evident, given the aforementioned fact , Koster and Harlan took into

account their tortious and/or illegal acts, their reckless and wanton disregard of the

law, and the harm they had, or would continue to inflict upon others, and with scienter,

weighed the risks of their deeds. *5,*6,*7,*9,*11,*12,*13,*14,*15,*16,*17,*18,*19,*20,*21,†2,†3,†4,†5,†7,†8,†8,†9,†10,†11.

4.62 11/11/2010 - FLORES CALLS OUT KOSTER AND CONFRONTS

“EVERYTHING CAN BE PROVEN AND DEFENDED IN A COURT OF LAW”

CLAIM

4.62.1 On November 11, 2010 2:56 PM CST, Flores affords Koster an opportunity

to correct and/or recant his declaration implicating “Richard [Hall] and two other

partners” in a conspiracy to remove Plaintiffs’ ownership of their one-third interest in

their earnings from the Gold Transaction. Further, Flores asks Koster to point out

any inaccuracies of Flores’ answers or statements to Clarkson’s referral of counsel’s

questions.

Flores:

“If your statement "/it was requested by both richard, and the other
two partners to find a replacement for your 1/3rd /" in your email
response is not true, please state so immediately, and consider such
as legal opportunity to recant that statement. Otherwise, we take
your statement as your acknowledgment that same is, by your
affirmation by silence, a accurate, true and correct declaration of the
facts. Our reliance on your statement may substantially affect those
individuals. (Exhibit 90 at ➀)

§ IV 128 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


“If there is, in my response to the email inquiry by Ms. Vicki
Clarkson, of Calgary, Canada, on Nov 11, 2010 1:03 PM, a statement
that you believe is incorrect, please note exactly the inaccuracy of my
answer to her and/or her counsel's question.” (id. at ➁)

4.62.2 Estoppel by Silence. An estoppel arises because Defendants, specifically

Koster, counseled by Harlin, had an obligation and a duty to speak, and they

intentionally failed, or should have acted, and did not, or otherwise withheld

information for which they had the duty to provide the Plaintiffs. By Defendants'

silence that arises from their obligation their silence was maintained to intentionally

mislead that the Plaintiff would be deceived. Koster and the Collective were given an

opportunity, to restate, recant, or otherwise respond and withdraw Koster’s

statements and implications of Richard Hall, Eugene Fletcher and Winston J. Cook in

the Fraud, Conversion, Conspiracy, Theft, Tortious Interference, Violation of the

Deceptive Trade Practices Act, Interference with and Existing Contract, by the use of

the public telecommunication wires to remove the Plaintiffs’ ownership and rights to

the property known as the “one-third” interest in the returns(profits) of the Gold

Transaction.*5,*6,*7,*8,*9,*11,*13,*19,*20,†1,†7,†8,†9,†2,‡4,

4.63 11/12/2010 – KOSTER’S PATHOLOGICAL LYING AND PSEUDOLOGIA

FANTASTICA.

4.63.1 On Friday, November 12, 2010 10:40:04, Koster responds to Flores’

November 11, 2010 2:56 PM message (¶ 4.62) giving Koster an opportunity to recant or

substantiate his claims in his November 11, 2010 at 1:23 PM message (¶ 4.61):

§ IV 129 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


4.63.2 Koster, instead of recanting or affirming Flores’ request to substantiate his

claims, he initiates an ad hominem attack declaring that Flores did not make anyone

aware of Clarkson’s involvement until the middle of the year 2010. It is clear and

incontestable that Koster lied and had made an intentionally false statement. His

perjured statement is wholly contradicted by incontrovertible evidence which shows

Koster, Emre and Childs, all, had full knowledge of Clarkson’s involvement since

December 18, 2009, elucidated below:

4.63.2.1 The Big Lie.

“Had you been upfront [sic] about her involvement from the
get go, I would have more compassion for your situation.”
(Exhibit 91 at ➀)

An examination of a message sent by Kerim S. Emre unequivocally controverts

Koster’s statement. On the day of the Plaintiffs’ engagement with the Alicorn PSP

on Friday, December 18, 2009 at 10:15 PM, Kerim S. Emre (Exhibit 8 at ➁)

forwarded (id. at ➀) a message from John Childs to Flores containing Subject:

Fwd: eFax message from "403 283 3223".

Emre stated, “Here is the copy of the [bank] wire confirmation message!” The

message encloses the e-mail from John Childs (id. at ➂) showing that Childs had

received an internet facsimile message From: eFax "eFax" <message @

inbound.efax.com> (id. at ➃) showing, Subject: eFax message from "403 283 3223"

- 2 page(s), Caller-ID: 403-283-3223 (id. at ➄). The eFax message verifies eFax

message origin as Fax Message [Caller-ID: 403-283-3223] (id. at ➅), the number of

pages and time the eFax message was received (id. at ➐). The eFax is a copy of the

§ IV 130 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


actual telephonic facsimile of the TD Canada Trust FAX confirmation sent on

December 18, 2009 at 3:48 PM MST by Wendy Hill-Tout (id. at ➒) at Voice

Pictures to Scott Koster (id at ➓).

The TD Canada Trust wire payment confirmation clearly shows Vicki A.

Clarkson as the funds sender and Scott Koster as the recipient of the funds.

The evidence shows that all were aware in the Collective,67 as well as Koster, that

Vicki Clarkson was involved in the PSP transaction from the beginning, and had

known of Flores’ partner’s involvement for eleven months when he claimed that

neither he nor the Collective was aware. Bank records will show the transfer to

Koster’s bank account and that he had received a telephonic facsimile of the TD

Canada Trust wire confirmation as well. Koster’s claim that no one else had been

made aware is again false. The evidence is irrefutable, and shows Koster’s claim

was simply a bold face lie.

PSEUDOLOGIA FANTASTICA.68

forward into the position I am in today with my platforms,
providers, and lenders. Im finding it difficult to continue to
feel compassion about this situation, while it risks to affect my
other clients in an adverse way.” (Exhibit 91 at ➁)

Given Koster’s statement in light of the evidence provided in the Exhibits thus

far, more explanation is unneeded. However, Koster’s statements do shed light

upon the man’s veracity and that of his colleagues. Moreover, it demonstrates the

credibility of Koster’s representations of the truth and facts in these matters, if not

all he may give tongue to in future assertions he may make to the Plaintiffs or in

the course of litigation.

4.64.1.1 Koster embellishes upon his veracity by asserting the credibility of the

financial instrument, Richard Hall’s “group” and can prove the “offering ” is 100%

… something.

“… The paperwork is real, the SBLC offering is real, and I can prove
what my company is offering to you 100%. (id. at ➂)

“… Richards group is also very real. I cannot comment on what they


will be willing to offer. (id. at ➃)

“… I can however request a copy of the buy/sell agreement from Mr.


Cook [Winston J. Cook], which I actually believe John [Childs] has a
copy of.” (id at ➄)

It is noted here, that Koster asserts that Cook and Childs both possess a copy

of the Gold Buy/Settlement; which, since the Plaintiffs or Flores owns a one-third

interest, and Cook and Childs are in control of the financial instruments and have

some control over the Gold Buy/Sell contract, such establishes and conveys a

fiduciary duty upon Cook and Childs, thus begging the questions:

§ IV 132 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Why hasn’t Cook and Childs fulfilled their duty to

inform the Plaintiffs or at least Flores of their status,

and maintained a communication with the Plaintiffs?

AND

Why have they not produced for the Plaintiffs all the

relevant documents legally due them?

To the date of the filing of this Complaint, neither Mr. Hall’s group has been

proven real nor the “paperwork” have proven to be real except for replication of

their images, but nothing proven of substance.

As far as to the proof of what Koster’s company is offering to the Plaintiffs,

which is “100%”, we leave such determination and inferences as to the composition

of the 100%, to the wisdom of the Court.

4.65.1 Flores’ Tuesday, November 16TH Message Inquiring On Koster’s Legal

Counsel and Clarifying Legal Status of He and Clarkson.

On Tuesday, November 16, 2010 1:43 PM, Flores sent a message to Koster

inquiring about his legal representation, clarification of his misunderstanding that

Vicki Clarkson was suing Flores, and again asking for the production of documents:

“Let me first ascertain that you haven't engaged legal counsel to represent
you. Yes or No. I cannot discuss matters pertaining to this case if you have
engaged an attorney to represent you. It appears you are saying you
haven't engaged representation. Thusly: (Exhibit 93 at ➀)

“Ms Clarkson is not bringing a "case" (a complaint {suit} or legal


proceeding) against me. She could have filed a Petition to Intervene as of
right under Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(a)(2) or permissively under Fed. R. Civ. P.
24(b)(2). et seq. (id. at ➁)

“… I am asking you for a production of documents which you have stated on


more than one occasion that could evidence your claims of veracity. That is
all you've been asked to deliver. Clarkson, et al., will press the Plaintiffs into
aggressive action if you do not comply with the request for documents.

I don't understand why, if you have the verifiable documents that you say
which will prove the legitimacy of the transaction. You stated you were
going to provide the information to me. This would quickly bring this matter
to a conclusion. (id. at ➂)”

Legitimacy.

§ IV 134 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


On Tuesday, November 16, 2:24 PM CST, Flores sent a message informing Emre

of the Plaintiffs’ status and urges Emre to provide proof of the settlement transaction.

“… If you can provide information it would suffice, and we could


move onto the settlement. I don't understand why Scott will not
comply, and most likely, neither will the judge. Scott seems
determined to force this situation into full blown litigation. If you can
provide any proof of the legitimacy of this transaction, I urge you to
do so, and let's just move on.” (Exhibit 94)

4.66 11/16/2010 4:26 PM - KOSTER RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS ATTORNEYS’

4.66.2 11/16/2010 4:26 PM - Documents Produced Show Breaches of Fiduciary

Duties, Bad Faith, and Fraud by Koster, Hall and Cook. The documents delivered by

Koster demonstrate management and control over Plaintiffs’ property or property

rights by ALICORN, BEREA, CBS, their principals and agents, clearly establishing

fiduciary duty and obligations. The documents further reveal Flores’ as a beneficiary

of the SBLC. From the documents, it appears the principals and/or individuals having

influence and control of the Gold Transaction removed the Plaintiffs as beneficiaries

form the transactions, whom they had previously requested removal from the

transaction in retaliation for Plaintiffs’ pursuit of litigation and engagement of federal

officials, according to Koster.69 The documents do not show Flores participation in the

final Gold Transaction. Instead it appears Koster, counseled by Harlan, had with the

cooperation of Richard Hall and Winston J. Cook, removed Flores from the actual

benefits of the gold profit part of the Gold Transaction. Rather, they had conspired to

pay the Plaintiffs only a rebate on one-third of the SBLC face value instead of the

revenues of the gold sale.

Moreover, what the documents divulged, is that both Richard Hall and Winston J.

Cook supervised, managed, controlled or otherwise oversaw the entire Gold

Transaction, fully aware that Flores was a client/investor. Hall, and Cook never

provided any status either verbally or by written communication of the proceedings of

the business enterprise. They both had a fiduciary duty as did Koster to inform and

maintain the duty to inform and disclose information critical to the Plaintiffs, but their

69
¶ 4.59.4, pg. 122

§ IV 136 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


fiduciary’s duties go beyond mere fairness and honesty; they obliged Koster, Hall and

Cook to further the beneficiary’s best interests. Thus, the fiduciaries of the

ALICORN/HALL/BEREA/CBS Enterprise’s Gold Transaction are not entitled to the

profits from their bad faith and breach of fiduciary duty.70 Richard Hall, Christine

Wong-Sang, Vladimir Pierre-Louise, Eugene Fletcher, Winston J. Cook, Scott A.

Koster, Kerim Emre, John Childs, Thomas P. Harlan, their related agents, partners,

companies, &c. are not entitled to any of the revenues or earnings ensuing out of the

Gold Transaction.

4.66.3 Richard Hall, Christine Wong-Sang, Vladimir Pierre-Louise, Eugene

Fletcher, Winston J. Cook, Scott A. Koster, Kerim Emre, John Childs, Thomas P.

Harlan breached their fiduciary duties through Silence, Concealment, Beach of

Contract for Nonperformance, Breach of Common Law Duty of Good Faith,

Intentional Misrepresentation, Willful Omissions, Fraud by Concealment, and

Conspiracy to enact their tortious conduct and depriving that which was legally due

Plaintiffs. They are not entitled to any of the earning, profits, or otherwise any

70
International Bankers Life Insurance Co. v. Holloway, 368 S.W .2d 567, 576-77 (Tex. 1963).
Fiduciaries who breach their duty forfeit all right to compensation, even if they did not profit from the
breach of fiduciary duty.

It is beside the point for either Turner or Corbett to say that Kinzbach suffered no damages because it
received full value for what it has paid and agreed to pay. A fiduciary cannot say to the one to whom he
bears such relationship: You have sustained no loss by my misconduct in receiving a commission from a
party opposite to you, and therefore you are without remedy. It would be a dangerous precedent for us to
say that unless some affirmative loss can be shown, the person who has violated his fiduciary relationship
with another may {138 Tex. 574} hold on to any secret gain or benefit he may have thereby acquired. It is
the law that in such instances if the fiduciary "takes any gift, gratuity, or benefit in violation of his duty, or
acquires any interest adverse to his principal, without a full disclosure, it is a betrayal of his trust, and a
breach of confidence, and he must account to his principal for all he has received." United States v. Carter,
217 U.S. 286, 30 Sup. Ct. 520, 54 L. Ed. 775, 19 Am. Cas. 594. See also Ash v. A. B. Frank Co., 142 S. W . 42;

prohibited by equitable estoppel particularly Promissory Estoppel, Estoppel by

Non-disclosure, Estoppel by Silence, Estoppel by Estoppel by Misrepresentation, or

otherwise be estopped from later making certain related arguments, defenses or

claiming certain related rights later. By their breach of fiduciary duty, Richard Hall,

Christine Wong-Sang, Vladimir Pierre-Louise, Eugene Fletcher, Winston J. Cook,

Scott A. Koster, Kerim Emre, John Childs, Thomas P. Harlan, forfeit all right to

compensation from the Gold Transaction nor may they benefit from the SBLC

4.67.2 The August 16TH document forgery is fully described at ¶ 4.43, pg. 100,

although the August 16TH document forgery was not discovered until Koster delivered

all three of the above documents over the wires by Internet e-mail to Flores on

November 17, 2010 at 1:13 AM.

4.67.3 The October 18TH Document Forgery. Upon examination of the

October 18TH document forgery (Exhibit 109) the Plaintiff discovered that document’s

third page, the signature page had been forged. The original document had Flores’

initials inscribed on the first two pages, and Flores had placed a type written series of

vertical bars, “| ”, in the blank space at the bottom of the second page, which

overflowed two additional vertical bars onto the original third page, the original

signature page.

Plaintiffs discovered the forged signature of Ivan Santos beneath Flores’ signature

on the third page. Next, Plaintiffs noted that, that Flores had not even sent his signed

copy to Koster until 12:03 PM CST (18:03 GMT) on October 18TH which was 1:03 AM,

the 19TH of October in Manila, Republic of the Philippines where Ivan Santos resides.72

Yet, Mr. Santos’ signature shows he signed the same original document on the same

day.

Either Koster forged Santos’ signature, or Koster is the first person to accomplish

the unraveling of the unknown laws of physics, and accomplished backward time travel

to have Santos sign on the same day in Manila.

4.67.4 Koster’s forgeries of both the August 16TH “1ST Wind-up Agreement Page 4

Document Forgery” and the October 18TH “2ND Wind-up Agreement Document

Forgery” affected a monetary transaction value of millions of dollars that was made in

a direct offer and sale of a commodity security. These forged financial contract

instruments were transmitted by the use of the public regulated communications

wires in interstate commerce over the Internet, and may well be violations of State

and federal crimes, and predicate acts, elements of racketeering.(*7,*8,*9,*11,*16,*18,†5,†7,†9,‡6)

4.70.1 On Friday, January 21, 2011 12:56 PM CST, Thomas P. Harlan, wrote to

Flores copying Gary Grab, attorney for Vicki Clarkson, and Vicki Clarkson, the

following:

“ … I have been involved in hundreds if not thousands of lawsuits,


including a number in Texas …

“… Finally, please be advised that while you have sent out the
required noticed under Texas' Deceptive Trade Practices Act, you
have not negotiated in good faith to settle this matter. We are not
going to work with or sign anything remotely like the "Settlement
Agreement" or other items that you have created. We will have a

See, Exhibit 116, Texas DTPA Notice Certificate of Service

§ IV 142 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


simple, straightforward settlement agreement that is customarily
used in cases like this. Again, if there is an offer, please put it out
there. We are more than willing to work with you to bring this
matter to a reasonable conclusion.” (emphasis added) (Exhibit 122)

4.70.2 On Friday, January 21, 2011 2:14 PM CST, Flores responded to Harlan’s

12:56 PM message.

Flores:

“Dear Mr. Harlan --


It appears you have made some false presumptions, out of conversation with
your client and a unreliable source perhaps. I have not participated as a broker in
any capacity. The "$10k" which you reference, is no part of the Koster/Alicorn et
al. transaction and pre-discovery fishing will not provide credible facts.
As far as criminal actions, such is not in our sphere to prosecute, and is wholly
in the hands of appropriate authorities to effect responsive actions that which may
be appropriate to the evidence at hand or result from ongoing investigations.
Further related inferences neither warrant nor merit additional response.
Unfortunately, we have experienced agreements with your client, but if you
have something that would be acceptable to the Court, then certainly present it
to us. Our demands have remained the same:
1) We want consideration for damages, knowing well that your client does not
have the wherewithal to make us whole, but we would accept a structured
settlement on a portion of direct and collateral damages would allow us to
create financial mechanisms to recover a portion of the damages your client is
liable.
2) In damage recovery for the IDLYC transaction and the promised
replacement by means of an alternative financial mechanism of equivalent
worth such as Gold Buy/Sell or equivalent. Doesn't get much simpler.

LF”

4.70.3 Neither Harlan nor Koster have ever responded to Flores’ January 21, 2011

2:14 PM message and have since withdrawn into their fraud and theft scheme. Of far

greater import and consequence, that brought about Harlan’s response in behalf of

Koster, is the failure of Koster, Harlan and Emre to resolve the Deceptive Trade

§ IV 143 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Practice Act Notice for IDLYC-BMW Majestic and substitution Gold Buy/Sell

Contract (DTPA Notice) and December 1, 2010 Findings from the 1ST Examination of

the Evidence with such utter pretermission. The gravamen that embodies this issue,

is the Defendants’ willful and reckless disregard for the law and rights of others, their

unlawful and/or illegal acts, the unconscionable harm they have intentionally inflicted,

and their malice.

4.70.4 As of the filing of this Complaint Koster and Emre have failed to resolve

DTPA notice or attempt to resolve the demands of the December 1, 2010 DTPA

notice, nor have they tendered a settlement offer. Moreover, Harlan clearly stated the

Defendants’ intractable position: “We are not going to work with or sign anything

remotely like the ‘Settlement Agreement’ or other items that you have created.”

(Exhibit 122)

4.70.5 EXPIRATION OF TIME TO RESOLVE TEXAS DTPA. Pursuant to

Section 17.505, Texas Business & Commerce Code, Defendants were served notice of

a Deceptive Trade Practices Act claim against them on Wednesday, December 1, 2010.

The requisite sixty (60) day period for Defendants to resolve this matter has since

tolled without any resolution nor attempt to resolve the claim as required of the

Defendants pursuant to TEX BC. CODE ANN. § 17.505 : Texas Statutes - Section

17.505: NOTICE; INSPECTION:

(a) As a prerequisite to filing a suit seeking damages under Subdivision (1)


of Subsection (b) of Section 17.50 of this subchapter against any person, a
consumer shall give written notice to the person at least 60 days before
filing the suit advising the person in reasonable detail of the consumer's
specific complaint and the amount of economic damages, damages for

§ IV 144 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


mental anguish, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, if any, reasonably
incurred by the consumer in asserting the claim against the defendant …

4.71 OPEN-ENDED CONTINUITY INVOLVING DISTINCT THREAT OF

LONG-TERM ILLEGAL AND ABUSIVE ACTIVITY. The Defendants’ acts establish

an open-ended continuity incorporating the related predicates themselves involving a

distinct threat of long-term illegal and abusive activity, where their acts are part of an

ongoing and regular way of doing business and conducting or participating in an

illegitimate ongoing enterprise, and pose a substantial threat to the public.

Based on the evidence presented in the certified Domestic Business Records

incorporated herein contained in Exhibit Volumes 1-6 and best of Plaintiffs’ knowledge

and upon reasonable belief the foregoing was instituted or sustained through Conspiracy,

Coercion, Extortion, Receiving the Proceeds of Extortion , Forgery, Obstruction of Justice,

and that the Defendants’ frauds and other tortious act were accomplished by the

extensive use of not less than twelve counts, and likely twenty-seven counts of

distinguishable acts of Wire Fraud, and other racketeering activities which Defendants

used in their strategic and tactical operations of the Syndicate and the

ALICORN/HALL/BEREA/CBS Enterprise.

§ V CAUSES OF ACTION

The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are hereby re-

averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the same force and

effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

5.1 1ST CAUSE OF ACTION – FRAUD IN THE INDUCEMENT

AGAINST: Scott Anthony Koster, Kerim S. Emre, Thomas P. Harlan, John Childs,

Mark Alan Gelazela, William Chandler Reynolds, Steven E. Woods,

ALICORN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC, IDLYC HOLDINGS

TRUST LLC (USA), IDLYC HOLDINGS TRUST (NEW ZEALAND),

BMW MAJESTIC LLC AND/OR THEIR AGENTS. John/Jane Doe(s)

(the “Syndicate Defendants”)

5.1.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

5.1.2 Defendants made a material representation to Plaintiffs that was false, and

at the time that the representation was made, they knew it was false or they made it

recklessly, as a positive assertion and without knowledge of its truth. More precisely,

Defendants’ induced the Plaintiffs by misrepresentation which lead them to enter into

a transaction with a false impression of the risks, in which, from the onset of the

transaction Defendants never intended to fulfil their fiduciary duties, did breach their

fiduciary duty, with the intent and foreknowledge that their fraudulent inducement

§V 146 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


was wholly a tool by which they would later introduce, exercise and continue other

frauds against the Plaintiffs. The Defendants deceitful conduct raises a substantial

public interest to permit tort principles to apply and remedy this wrong where:

(1) all the elements of intentional misrepresentation are present;

(2) that the intentional misrepresentation occurred prior to contract

formation; and

(3) that the fraud relates to a matter extraneous to the contract.

Moreover, Defendants directly made, or by and through their agents made, the

representations with the intent that Plaintiffs act on it, and Plaintiffs did act on it in

reliance on the representation. Ultimately, the said material representation caused

injury and damages to Plaintiffs when Defendants failed to provide the promised

earnings in a timely manner and as promised, and in fact used the fraudulent

inducement to perpetrate other frauds. Such fraud in the inducement was a proximate

cause of Plaintiffs’ damages.

5.2 2ND CAUSE OF ACTION – COMMON LAW FRAUD

AGAINST: All Defendants

5.2.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

5.2.2 Defendants made a material representation to Plaintiffs that was false, and

at the time that the representation was made, they knew it was false or they made it

§V 147 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


recklessly, as a positive assertion and without knowledge of its truth and/or had a duty

and obligation to instruct or advise another not to do so. More specifically, Defendants

represented to Plaintiffs that they could acquire funding for the acquisition funding on

time and in a sufficient amount that Plaintiffs would be able to purchase financial

instruments necessary to collateralize Plaintiffs’ loan from the primary loan funding

for their film slate and related ancillary projects. Moreover, they made the

representation with the intent that Plaintiffs act on it, and Plaintiffs did act on it in

reliance on the representation, effectuating a detrimental reliance upon the Plaintiffs

to the Defendants. Ultimately, the said material representation caused injury and

damages to Plaintiffs when Defendants failed to provide the promised funding in a

timely manner and as promised and in fact never paid out the gains, profits, earnings

from Plaintiffs’ investment funds. Defendants’ fraud was a proximate cause of

Plaintiffs’ damages.

5.3 3RD CAUSE OF ACTION – NEGLIGENT MISREPRESENTATION AND

DECEIT

AGAINST: All Defendants

5.3.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

5.3.2 Defendants made a false representation to Plaintiffs in the course of

Defendants’ business. Namely, that Defendants would timely and on certain terms,

§V 148 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


provide funding through secured scheduled trades to Plaintiffs. Defendants did not

provide such funding in a timely manner nor on the terms promised. In making this

false representation, upon which Plaintiffs relied, Defendants did not exercise

reasonable care or competence in obtaining or communicating the information to

Plaintiffs and/or had a duty and obligation to instruct or advise another to do so. Such

negligent misrepresentation was a proximate cause of Plaintiffs’ damages.

5.4 4TH CAUSE OF ACTION – FRAUD BY NON-DISCLOSURE

AGAINST: All Defendants

5.4.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

5.4.2 Defendants concealed from or failed to disclose certain facts to Plaintiffs,

which they had a duty to disclose. These facts were material and Defendants knew

that Plaintiffs were ignorant and did not have equal opportunity to discover them. As a

result of Defendant’s deliberate silence regarding these facts, they intended to induce

Plaintiffs to take some action or refrain from acting. Plaintiffs relied on the

Defendants non-disclosure and were injured as a result of acting without knowledge of

the undisclosed facts.

5.4.3 More particularly, Defendants concealed and/or had a duty and obligation to

instruct or advise another not to conceal from Plaintiffs the following facts prior to

Plaintiffs’ reliance: that Defendants would not or could not provide the requested

§V 149 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


funding in the time frame originally promised; that the funding would be provided on

the same terms as the parties’ prior investment agreement; and that Defendants

would be required to meet certain benchmarks or conditions precedent before

receiving funds from their earnings. Such fraud by non-disclosure was a proximate

cause of Plaintiffs’ damages.

5.5 5TH CAUSE OF ACTION – AIDING AND ABETTING FRAUD

AGAINST: All Defendants

5.5.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

5.5.2 Each of the Defendants knew about the schemes used to defraud the

Plaintiffs and other PSP partners of the PSP and Gold Transaction as described in the

Complain.

5.5.3 Each of the Defendants actively participated in the schemes to defraud by

knowingly providing encouragement and substantial assistance in perpetration of the

fraud, as described in this Complaint.

5.5.4 As a direct and proximate result of the Defendants’ encouragement and

substantial assistance in perpetration of the fraud, Plaintiffs suffered injuries,

damages, or losses in an amount to be determined at trial.

5.5.5 Plaintiffs are entitled to punitive damages because the Defendants conduct

was malicious, willful, wanton, intentional, and outrageous, evidencing evil motive,

§V 150 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


reckless indifference to or reckless disregard for the rights of others; and, particularly

Defendants Koster and Emre who failed to resolve the issues and demands set forth

in the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act notices served upon them and

subsequently acknowledged by Thomas P. Harlan representing Koster.

5.6 6TH CAUSE OF ACTION – BREACH OF CONTRACT

AGAINST: Scott Anthony Koster, Thomas P. Harlan, Kerim S. Emre, and

Alicorn Capital Management LLC.

5.6.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

5.6.2 Scott Anthony Koster, counseled by Harlan , and Kerim S. Emre,

individually and on behalf of Alicorn Capital Management LLC, agreed to timely and

with agreed upon terms provide earning, or revenues to Plaintiffs related to the PSP

investment in that the earned revenues would be provided on the same terms as the

parties’ investment agreement and that Defendants were required to meet certain

benchmarks or conditions of the performance. The Defendants breached such

agreement and failed to timely provide such revenues to the Plaintiffs’ from the

earning of the PSP on those terms and otherwise never performed on the Plaintiffs’

investment. Defendants’ breach caused substantial monetary damages to and

ultimately, the accumulation of those, and addition damages and liabilities, and other

§V 151 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


harm to Plaintiffs. Such breach of the contract was a proximate cause of Plaintiffs’

damages.

BREACH OF CONFIDENTIAL OR SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP

AGAINST: Scott Anthony Koster, Kerim S. Emre, Thomas P. Harlan, John Childs,

Mark Alan Gelazela, William Chandler Reynolds, Steven E. Woods,

5.8 8TH CAUSE OF ACTION – BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY &

BREACH OF CONFIDENTIAL OR SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP

AGAINST: Scott Anthony Koster, Richard Hall, Winston Jerome Cook, Kerim S.

Emre, John Childs, Thomas P. Harlan, ALICORN CAPITAL

MANAGEMENT LLC, BEREA LLC, and COOK BUSINESS

SERVICES LLC. (the “Gold Transaction Defendants”)

5.8.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

5.8.2 Gold Transaction Defendants owed the Plaintiffs a fiduciary duty as a result

of a formal or informal fiduciary relationship of trust and confidence with Plaintiffs.

74
See International Bankers Life Insurance Co., ibid. at FN 70 pg. 137

§V 157 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Defendants, by refusing to timely provide promised returns on their investment

schemes, and by forcing Plaintiffs into accumulated liabilities and damages, breached

their fiduciary duties to Plaintiffs which resulted in injury to the Plaintiffs and/or

benefit to the Plaintiffs.

5.8.3 Gold Transaction Defendants owed to the Plaintiffs the following fiduciary

duties, among others, which they breached: (1) duty of loyalty and utmost good faith;

(2) duty of candor; (3) duty to refrain from self-dealing; (4) duty to act with integrity of

duty of loyalty to the joint concern.

5.8.4 After initial contact with Richard Hall, the Plaintiffs never received Hall’s

or his associates contact information from either Hall, or Cook, or Koster. Koster

never provided the contact information for Cook. Cook was found by Flores on the

social network “Facebook”, where he contacted Cook and provided him with Flores’

contact information. Hall owed the Plaintiffs a fiduciary duty as he controlled the gold

investment which was the substitution for the PSP performance failure and damages.

Cook, owed the Plaintiffs a fiduciary duty as he controlled the SBLC security

instrument and was well aware of the distribution and control of Plaintiffs earnings

from the Gold Transaction. Koster failed in the performance of his fiduciary duties as

he had since December of 2009, and for such breach of Gold Transaction Defendants

fiduciary duty, they “forfeit all right to compensation, even if they did not profit from

the breach of fiduciary duty.”75

and then embezzled the from the use of the portions appropriated for the Plaintiffs

investment.

deprived Plaintiffs of their possessory rights to the investment funds.

value of the converted funds, plus interest calculated from the time of conversion, plus

all earnings, revenues, and profits originally contracted, notwithstanding damages

therefrom.

5.9.7 Plaintiffs are entitled to punitive damages because the Defendants’ conduct

was malicious, willful, wanton, intentional, and outrageous, evidencing evil motive or

reckless indifference to the rights of others.

EXISTING CONTRACTS

AGAINST: Scott Anthony Koster

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

5.10.2 Plaintiffs had contracts with Koster, in which Koster, counseled by Harlan,

tortuously interfered76 with the existing Gold Transaction substitution agreement.77

Koster willfully and intentionally interfered with said contracts, which interference

¶ 4.41.3, pg. 98

§V 160 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


proximately caused actual injuries, damages, or loss to Plaintiffs. More specifically,

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

reasonable probability that Plaintiffs would have entered into various contracts or

business relationships with Berea LLC to lever-up the Gold Transaction in order to

complete the restoration of the non-performance of the ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW

transaction. Koster, counseled by Harlan, by his independently tortious or unlawful

acts or omissions, including but not limited to acts of deception, negligent

misrepresentation, common law fraud, fraud by non-disclosure, and breach of

fiduciary duty more fully described herein intentionally interfered with these

prospective business relationships and proximately caused Plaintiffs to suffer actual

damage, loss, or harm.

5.12.3 Plaintiffs relied on the Defendants’ false, misleading, and deceptive acts to

its detriment. Such actions and deceptive acts were a producing cause of damages to

the Plaintiffs. The conduct of the Defendants as described herein was committed

knowingly.

5.12.4 Defendants were actually aware, at the time of the conduct, of the falsity,

deception, and unfairness of the conduct about which Plaintiffs complain.

5.12.5 Further, the conduct of the Defendants was committed intentionally. That

is, the Defendants had actual awareness of the falsity, deception, or unfairness of their

acts or practice described herein coupled with the specific intent that Plaintiffs acted

in detrimental reliance on the falsity or deception by the Defendants. Finally, the

Defendants misrepresentations and breaches of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act

were unconscionable. Accordingly, Plaintiffs are entitled to treble damages pursuant

to the Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

5.13.2 Plaintiffs plead, in the alternative if necessary, a cause of action against

Syndicate Defendants for promissory estoppel.

5.13.3 Syndicate Defendants made promises to Plaintiffs that include, but are not

5.13.3.1 representing to Plaintiffs that it would pay them earnings for their

5.13.3.2 representing to Plaintiffs that the ALICORN/IDLYC/BMW

5.13.3.3 Syndicate Defendants made these promises in order to induce

Plaintiffs to take and/or forego certain actions. The promises made by the above

Defendants and/or their representatives were reasonably calculated to induce

Plaintiffs to take and/or forego certain actions. Plaintiffs’ reliance upon

Defendants' promises was reasonably foreseeable to the Defendants.

5.13.4 The Plaintiffs, in fact, relied on each and every one of Defendants' promises

and has taken definite and substantial action in reliance on the promises to their

detriment.

5.13.5 Defendants' promises were the proximate cause of significant damages to

Plaintiff, which are in excess of the minimum jurisdictional limit of this Court. In

order for injustice to be avoided, the Court must enforce the promises made to

Plaintiff by Defendants and/or their agents. Under Texas law, "[t]he elements in a suit

for breach of contract are: (1) a valid contract; (2) the plaintiff performed or tendered

performance; (3) the defendant breached the contract; and (4) the plaintiff was

damaged as a result of that breach.".78 The elements of a promissory estoppel claim

are "(1) a promise, (2) foreseeability of reliance thereon by the promisor, and (3)

substantial reliance by the promisee to his detriment." In addition to these basic

requirements for promissory estoppel, “Texas courts have also established a fourth

requirement of a definite finding that injustice can be avoided only by the enforcement

5.13.6 Under the analysis, a review of Plaintiffs’ Original Complaint establishes

that Plaintiffs have set forth allegations against Defendants that could establish all of

the elements of a breach of contract claim and the alternative claim of promissory

estoppel. If the allegations are proved, Plaintiff should be entitled to recover against

Syndicate Defendants.

substantial financial losses in their productive professional years and at a time when

they are heavily reliant on their investments, for Clarkson’s real-estate and property

development and investment partnership with Flores, and Flores reliance to produce

motion picture productions. As well, they caused Plaintiffs to suffer the mounting

damages along with the increasing cost of delaying crews, talent, and affecting

location availability; and Plaintiffs suffered irreversible damage to their reputations,

and loss of credibility and trust with the “A” List crews and talent, and that would

extend into the industry including unions, and local government officials who were

working to create incentives for employment and education for their constituents and

the economic welfare of their communities anticipating the arrival of the slate

productions. The Defendants have intentionally or recklessly engaged in extreme and

outrageous conduct which was intended or substantially certain to inflict severe

emotional distress upon the Plaintiffs.

5.15.4 As a result of the Defendants’ extreme and outrageous conduct, the

Plaintiffs have suffered and continue to suffer severe emotional distress.

5.16.2 The Defendants combined, agreed and conspired with each other and with

others to commit tortious acts against the Plaintiffs as set forth in all Causes of

Actions in § V hereof.

5.16.3 It was an object and purpose of the conspiracy to conceal material

5.17.3 At times material to this Complaint, Syndicate Defendants held high level

§ VI OTHER PLEADINGS

6.1 AGENCY & AUTHORITY

6.1.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

6.1.2 At all times material to this lawsuit, upon information and belief, Koster and

Emre, were agents of Woods, Gelazela, and Reynolds, that Harlan was agent for

Koster, ALICORN, and the Syndicate, and vice versa; that Koster was agent for

Richard Hall, BEREA and its principals, and vice versa; that Koster was agent for

Cook and CBS, and vice versa; and that Emre and Childs were agents for Koster, and

vice versa.

6.1.3 Upon information and belief, Koster and Emre had actual authority to act

on behalf of Woods, Gelazela, and Reynolds and vice versa at all relevant times

material to this lawsuit. More specifically, upon information and belief, Woods,

Gelazela, and Reynolds intentionally conferred upon Koster and Emre actual

authority, intentionally allowed Koster and Emre to believe they had actual authority,

or by a lack of due care, allowed Koster and Emre to believe they had authority to act

on their behalf in dealing with Plaintiffs and vice versa. Moreover, Koster and Emre

were acting within the scope of their agency when they committed the torts alleged

herein, or when they reached any verbal agreement with Plaintiffs.

§ VI 175 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


Further, upon information and belief, Koster and Hall had actual authority to act

on behalf of Cook and vice versa at all relevant times material to this lawsuit.

6.1.4 Further, upon information and belief and in the alternative, Koster

counseled by Harlan, and Emre had apparent authority to act on behalf of Woods,

Gelazela, and Reynolds at all relevant times material to this lawsuit. More specifically,

Woods, Gelazela, and Reynolds knowingly permitted Koster and Emre to hold

themselves out as having authority or acted with such lack of ordinary care as to

clothe Koster and Emre with the indicia of authority.

6.1.5 Plaintiffs justifiably relied on the actual or apparent authority of Koster and

Emre and such justifiable reliance caused damages to Plaintiffs.

6.2 RATIFICATION.

6.2.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

6.2.2 Upon information and belief, in the alternative, Koster and Emre ratified

the acts and omissions of Woods, Gelazela, and Reynolds, either by word, act, or

conduct after acquiring full knowledge of the act or omission. Moreover, the approval

or ratification was given with the intention of giving validity to the acts or omissions of

Koster and Emre.

6.2.3 Further, upon information and belief, in the alternative, Hall and Cook

ratified the acts and omissions of Koster, Emre, Childs and either by word, act, or

§ VI 176 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


conduct after acquiring full knowledge of the act or omission. Moreover, the approval

or ratification was given with the intention of giving validity to the acts or omissions of

Koster, Emre, Childs, Hall and Cook.

6.3 PIERCING THE CORPORATE VEIL/ALTER EGO.

6.3.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

ALICORN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC, IDLYC HOLDINGS TRUST LLC

(USA), IDLYC HOLDINGS TRUST LLC (New Zealand), and BMW MAJESTIC

LLC, were mere tools or business conduits of one-another, or were operated as a

6.4.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

6.4.2 With the discovery of evidence, information due Plaintiffs by Defendants

during the course of business transactions, within Defendants’ possession of Plaintiffs’

§ VI 177 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


claims against Defendants despite the Plaintiffs’ exercise of reasonable diligence on

their part and required specificity already plead, it is difficult to imagine how

Plaintiffs could plead breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and scienter with more specificity

then they have thus far, before having the opportunity to conduct comprehensive

discovery given the circumstances set forth in the facts.

6.5 PLAINTIFFS PLEAD DELAYED DISCOVERY FOR: RACKETEERING

(INVOLVING, inter alia, WIRE FRAUD, EXTORTION, FORGERY, OBSTRUCTION

OF JUSTICE AND MONEY LAUNDERING)

6.5.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

6.5.2 As Rule 9(b)'s pleading requirements pending further discovery for

allegations of wire fraud pursuant and discovery of co-conspirators (whom the

Plaintiffs have reason to believe laundered monies to conceal the whereabouts of the

Plaintiffs’ and others’ funds) to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations

Act "because of the apparent difficulties in specifically pleading mail and wire fraud as

predicate acts." New England Data Servs., 829 F.2d at 290-91.9 See North Bridge

Assoc., Inc. v. Boldt, 274 F.3d 38, 44 (1st Cir. 2001)(noting that in the RICO context,

where "the specific information [concerning the defendants' use of interstate

telecommunications facilities] is likely in the exclusive control of the defendant, the

Court should make a second determination as to whether the claim as presented

§ VI 178 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


warrants the allowance of discovery and if so, thereafter provide an opportunity to

amend the defective complaint") (citing Feinstein v. Resolution Trust Corp., 942 F.2d

34, 43 (1st Cir.1991)).

6.5.3 The Defendants, directly and indirectly, made use of the means and

instrumentalities of interstate commerce and extensively used the domestic

communication wires in connection with the Defendants acts, practices, and courses of

business alleged herein within the Northern District of Texas, Calgary Alberta,

Canada, and elsewhere.

6.5.4 Plaintiffs have clearly shown violations of State and Federal criminal law

and requisite predicate acts that attach to 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968 Civil RICO,

including numerous counts of Coercion, Conversion, Extortion, Forgery, Obstruction

of Justice, and wire fraud.

6.5.5 Plaintiffs have shown that Defendants have set up extensive structures that

are not only interconnected domestically, but internationally, using influences

impinging upon the public and the public fabric. Their activities are of substantial

import to the public and have existed for several years. On information and belief

based upon the evidence, submitted herewith, the Plaintiffs aver that the Defendants

devised a schema and artifices to defraud the Plaintiffs and others to obtain monies by

means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, and

transmitted by means of wire by telephonic voice and over the Internet in both

interstate and foreign commerce, writings, financial instruments and voice

communications for the purpose of executing their schemes and various artifices in

§ VI 179 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1343 (1988) Wire Fraud, Coercion, Conversion, Extortion,

Forgery, and Obstruction of Justice as an integral part of their schema.

6.5.6 The RICO statute creates civil liability for those who engage in a"pattern of

racketeering activity." 18 U.S.C. §§ 1962, 1964. Though limited in discovery, the

Plaintiffs have nonetheless established a pattern of racketeering activity, fulfilled the

necessary predicate acts, and that the Defendants’ pattern of racketeering and extent

of those activities will very likely continue. Clearly, Plaintiffs have reached past any

challenge for failure to satisfy the specificity requirement of Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 9(b), as such, Plaintiffs should be granted the leave to amend their

complaint on the ground that it would serve the interests of justice and justly serve

the public interest as well.

6.5.7 Plaintiffs believe discovery will reveal further support of RICO claims and

that until discovery is complete that it would be prudent to later seek leave to amend

in light of newly discovered evidence; and, it is premature to plead RICO claims and

file a RICO Case Statement, as the Plaintiffs are confident that the number of RICO

defendants are likely to increase and the reach of racketeering activities will extend

further.

Wherefore, Plaintiffs assert non-waiver of RICO claims and defer to such time as

discovery is completed.

6.6 PLAINTIFFS PLEAD DELAYED DISCOVERY FOR: FRAUD AND

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

6.6.2 On the part of Defendants, thus suspending the running of limitations as to

all claims. Equitable tolling permits the Plaintiffs to avoid the bar of the statute of

limitations if despite the exercise of all due diligence they are unable to obtain vital

information bearing on the existence of their claims. In the instant case, the doctrine

of equitable estoppel becomes consequential since the Defendants have clearly

established active steps to prevent or severely restrain the Plaintiffs’ ability to secure

essential information regarding their illegal or unlawful actions with particularity.

CONCEALMENT OF FACTS UNDER DEFENDANTS’ CONTROL

unknown for which they have concealed information. Their concealment has prevented

Plaintiffs from showing the extent of nexus or co-conspiracy in Defendants unlawful or

INVESTOR FUNDS AND UNJUST ENRICHMENT

6.15.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

6.15.2 As set forth in the forgoing, the Nominal Defendants have received funds

and/or property derived through conversion or from the illicit proceeds obtained from

the use of Plaintiffs’ funds by one or more of the Defendants, which are the proceeds,

or are traceable to the proceeds, of the Defendants unlawful activities, as alleged

throughout the Complaint.

6.15.3 Nominal Defendants have obtained the funds and/or property alleged above

as part of and in furtherance of Defendants’ frauds, contractual defaults, torts and/or

racketeering activities or their securities violations alleged throughout this Complaint

and under the circumstances in which it is not just, equitable nor conscionable for

them to retain the funds and/or property derived therefrom. As a consequence,

Nominal Defendants

have been unjustly enriched.

6.16 PLAINTIFFS PLEAD: ESTOPPEL BY SILENCE

6.16.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

6.16.2 Equitable estoppel arises because all Defendants, but especially Koster,

counseled by Harlin, had an obligation and a duty to speak, and they intentionally

failed, or should have acted, and did not, or otherwise withheld information for which

they had the duty to provide the Plaintiffs. By Defendants' silence that arises from

their obligation their silence was maintained to intentionally mislead so that the

Plaintiff would be deceived.

6.16.3 Koster and the Syndicate members were given almost fifteen months to

speak, and they intentionally failed, or should have acted, and did not, or otherwise

§ VI 190 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


withheld information for which they had the duty to provide the Plaintiffs. Koster

stated on several occasion that he could prove and defend his acts and provide all the

documentary evidence in a court of law or other statements. However, Koster never

did so to the date of the filing of this Complaint; far beyond a reasonable period to

respond to demands for that which he should provided long before now, and surly

beyond challenge to Plaintiffs’ claim of equitable estoppel.

6.16.4 Koster and the Collective were given an opportunity, to restate, recant, or

otherwise respond and withdraw Koster’s statements and implications of Richard

Hall, Eugene Fletcher and Winston J. Cook in the Fraud, Conversion, Conspiracy,

Theft, Tortious Interference, Violation of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act,

Interference with an Existing Contract, by the use of the public telecommunication

wires to remove the Plaintiffs’ ownership and rights to the property known as the

“one-third” interest in the returns (profits) of the Gold Transaction. However, Koster

never did so to the date of the filing of this Complaint; far beyond a reasonable period

to respond to demands for that which he should provided long before now, and surly

beyond challenge to Plaintiffs’ claim of equitable estoppel.

6.17 PLAINTIFFS PLEAD ESTOPPEL BY ACQUIESCENCE.

6.17.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

§ VI 191 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


6.17.2 Defendants, specifically Koster, counseled by Harlin, continued their

acquiescence to Plaintiffs’ legal notifications arising after Flores gave numerous legal

warnings to Defendants based on clearly asserted facts and specification of related

legal principle, thereafter, neither Koster nor his counsel Harlin, respond within a

reasonable period of time nor have they responded as of the filing of the filing of this

Complaint. By acquiescing, the Defendants lost the legal right to assert the contrary

of any and all issues presented to them and are now prohibited or otherwise estopped

from making related arguments, defenses or claiming related rights. It is evident,

given the aforementioned facts incorporated hereto, Defendants, particularly Koster

and Harlin, took into account their tortious and/or illegal acts, their reckless and

wanton disregard of the law, and the harm they had, or would continue to inflict upon

others, and with scienter, weighed the risks of their deeds.

6.18 PLAINTIFFS PLEAD PRECLUSION FROM CLAIMING A BAR BY

LIMITATIONS.

6.18.1 The allegations contained in all of the paragraphs of this Complaint are

hereby re-averred and re-alleged, for all purposes, and incorporated herein with the

same force and effect as if set forth verbatim herein.

6.18.2 Plaintiffs allege that the actions of all Defendants, because of their conduct,

statements and promises, preclude them from claiming a bar by limitations to any of

Plaintiffs' claims. Plaintiffs plead the doctrine of equitable estoppel.

§ VI 192 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


§ VII DAMAGES

7.1 COMPENSATORY DAMAGES. In Actual Damages as a direct and proximate

result of the Defendants’ conduct, the Plaintiffs have sustained damages well in excess of

this Court’s minimum $75,000 jurisdictional limit. More specifically, Defendants’ conduct

has proximately caused the following damages, both past and future: 1) lost profits; 2) loss

of credit; 3) loss of credibility and reputations critical to Plaintiffs’ functional viability and

performance within financial, Plaintiff Clarkson’s real-estate and Plaintiff Flores ‘motion

pictures industries; Plaintiffs’ individual reputations, loss of goodwill; damages for

interruption to and cessation of its business operations; consequential damages; and

reliance damages. Plaintiffs’ damages will exceed One Hundred -Eighty million U. S.

Dollars ($180,000,000 USD) and likely in next several years, may exceed an amount

greater than Two Hundred -Twenty million U.S. Dollars ($220,000,000 USD).

7.2 EXEMPLARY DAMAGES. Additionally, Plaintiffs seeks exemplary damages as

a result of Defendants’ willful, fraudulent, or malicious conduct. Plaintiffs assert Punitive

Damages pursuant to Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code - Section 41.003 for harm

with respect to Plaintiffs proof by clear and convincing evidence the elements of

exemplary damages as provided by this section resulting from: 1) fraud, 2) malice, and 3)

gross negligence.

§ VII 193 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


7.2.1 DTPA RELIEF & DAMAGES. Plaintiffs are entitled the following relief

pursuant to TEX BC. CODE ANN. § 17.50:

Texas Statutes - Section 17.50: RELIEF FOR CONSUMERS:

(b) In a suit filed under this section, each consumer who prevails may obtain:

(1) the amount of economic damages found by the trier of fact. If the trier of fact

finds that the conduct of the defendant was committed knowingly, the consumer

may also recover damages for mental anguish, as found by the trier of fact, and the

trier of fact may award not more than three times the amount of economic

damages; or if the trier of fact finds the conduct was committed intentionally, the

consumer may recover damages for mental anguish, as found by the trier of fact,

and the trier of fact may award not more than three times the amount of damages

for mental anguish and economic damages; …

(g) Chapter 41, Civil Practice and Remedies Code, does not apply to a cause of

action brought under this subchapter.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, if a claimant is granted

the right to Koster and Emre a cause of action under this subchapter by another

law, the claimant is not limited to recovery of economic damages only, but may

recover any actual damages incurred by the claimant, without regard to whether

the conduct of the defendant was committed intentionally. For the purpose of the

recovery of damages for a cause of action described by this subsection only, a

reference in this subchapter to economic damages means actual damages. In

applying Subsection (b)(1) to an award of damages under this subsection, the trier

§ VII 194 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd


of fact is authorized to award a total of not more than three times actual damages,

in accordance with that subsection.

7.3 PRE- /POST- JUDGMENT INTEREST & ATTORNEYS’ FEES.

Because of the Defendants’ intentional infliction of emotional distress above-

described, and continued distress brought upon the Plaintiffs, they cannot reasonably

detach themselves to effectively prosecute this action past discovery into trial and

therefore Plaintiffs shall retain other attorneys to do so. Wherefore, Plaintiffs also seeks

pre- and post-judgment interest, attorneys’ fees not excluded by DTPA, and taxable costs

of court.

OR SPOLIATION OF EVIDENCE

to destroy, discard or spoil any documents or records, whether written, recorded, or

stored electronically, that may be or may have become relevant to any issue in this suit.

§ VIII 196 20110202 O rgC m plnt F lores-C larkson v K oster et al.w pd

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully pray, for these reasons, that Defendants be

served and cited to appear and answer herein, and for the following relief:

compensatory and consequential damages;
