RE: Who Is Jeff Berwick? Scam Artist or Businessman?

in #tdv8 years ago
And then there was George Donnelly who demanded to see Jeff’s documents concerning the Galt’s Gulch fiasco. He never received them.

Wow. I thought he was going to come through after confirming he would several times.

Sort:  

I am the founding partner of Galt's Gulch Chile, which has never been a scam, as the same tired old storyline outlines. If GGC was a scam, I would have bought a private island years ago when GGC had millions of dollars coming in for revenues. Our accounting files, bank files, hundreds of thousands of emails, maps, contracts, etc. all clearly outline that our revenues went to the project, until such time that Berwick's close colleague, Mario Del Real, and their cohorts, began stealing money from GGC, as well as from myself and from others via Del Real's scam project in Chile, near the Argentinian border. I've lost millions of dollars, my reputation, and numerous other similar projects that we were creating in 2014, from the actions of Berwick, Del Real, Lashlee, Josh Kirley and the self-proclaimed "rescuers" of GGC…who in reality were never anything more than a small group of corrupt people who intended to force a hostile takeover of GGC, after their smear campaign was launched. Thousands of pieces of evidence outline this folks. I sent George a great deal of information that clearly evidenced that Berwick's lies about GGC were indeed lies. I outlined a very long list of crimes committed by Berwick, and Berwick's close colleagues, convicted felon, EJ Lashlee, Mario Del Real, and others. George chose not to write about it, stating that he wanted "all" of GGC's information, which was a change from his initial agreement with me, to review and write about what I had to say about the accusations about me. That is, of course, his choice to request that, though I can not do that with all of the legal proceedings underway (and explained that to him as such) and it would take endless months for him, or readers, to go through the database of emails, maps, documents (most in Spanish), etc. I don't know what George's motivation is/was for stating that he was going to write about GGC, but I would like to believe it was altruistic in nature, because it really seems that true journalism is so very hard to find nowadays, with people who not only seek truth, but also are not afraid to endure unpopularity because of it. Cheers.

"I am the founding partner of Galt's Gulch Chile, which has never been a scam, as the same tired old storyline outlines. If GGC was a scam, I would have bought a private island years ago when GGC had millions of dollars coming in for revenues."

What revenues? You had either loans or contracts for a real estate project. GGC never had millions of revenue coming in.. Loans and payments for residential lots that were not even approved are not revenues. It was a your project, you were allegedly suppose to protect the capital invested in the project, it was far from revenues..

It is an affinity fraud. You scammed libertarians. You promised certain lot, "Founders Club" lot buyers that their purchase would be paid back in three years. Ditto with those who invest $250k in your "organic farm".. They would get paid back their investment in full plus profits from the "organic" farm.. (you would had been arrested by PDI or the Carabineros if you sold organic produced from a non certified organic farm)

Whether your intentions were good or malicious, your actions were criminal. You lost over $10 million in investors' money, not your money, not revenues, not Mario Del Real's money, Investors' money. You basically have a US $10 million plus loan that you need to repay, given you are the owner of Galt's Gulch Chile. (You should stop with the "Founding Partner" idiocy, it makes you look like a dolt, For property development companies, either you are a General Partner, Owner and CEO, or project manager)

The reason why Wendy McElroy and others went public in August 2014 with problems with GGC was because you were still hustling for new investors.

The horror stories from your mismanagement, hoarding all the money, refusing to show balance sheets, not telling investors in April 2014 you brought in the Del Real family as part of the board of trustees for GGC. You lost access to a Bank Account in Chile in January, used other people to either transferred or launder money. The imbroglio that GGC became didn't happened overnight.

You need to be in reality about your actions. There was no "millions in revenue" that went into Galt's Gulch Chile.. Even in your mind you had "millions of revenue" you had no accounting for it, no balance sheet to show to investors showing "millions in revenue" coming in, or how those "millions in revenue" was spent, like the couple of law firms you hired and fired in Chile..

This needs to be a blog posting. It really does. I'm following you now in hopes I can upvote it when it comes. If you want to hop in my latest blog to let me know you posted when you do I guarantee you will have my upvote.

I wish it would have been in many blogs long ago, but life at GGC has been difficult, at best, in repairing all that the GGC "rescue" team and Berwick stole or destroyed. I think within the next 2-3 weeks I can release a chronology of GGC, complete with evidence supporting all that is outlined. I don't know how to follow people, or find articles, or anything on here. I just learned of this article, so jumped into Steemit via the galtsgulch account that I set up in August, but never used. I'd most definitely would like everyone on here, and elsewhere to know about the history of GGC being released, so any pointers on doing so here would be appreciated. Cheers.

Just start by posting your events as they unfolded. Start at the beginning and try to simplify it. That's my advice. Provide hard evidence, not opinions. And try to leave your rage and anger out of it. By attacking people in here, you're getting no where fast.

To follow someone click on their name and a little popup box appears with the among other things the word "follow".

The best help can probably be found in www.steemit.chat this is a seperate chat website devoted to steemit. So use the same name, but a different password.
There are a ton of channels, but starting in "general" is a good place.

I also would like to review all relevant documents. However, I will be blunt with you: by attacking other people, even those who are trying to sort out fact from fiction, you're burying yourself. If you could please just create blog posts that document real solid facts, we would all benefit. I realize that you have been through a shitstorm, but you have to get a grip on how you're appearing to us all. None of us know you and we cannot tell what's going on. Just provide the facts, blog posts that detail what happened.

Yes, you are correct. I should simply provide documents, emails, etc. (once I figure this stuff out in the coming days) and eliminate attacking those who have slandered me for the past two years. I appreciate the feedback. I haven't been on here in a few days. I'll think about posting most all there is on GGC, and the cast of characters, and their actions, via emails, documents, electronic messages, etc. I'd like to do a Wikileaks sort of dump, just letting people sort through the actual history of GGC. That will show everyone that the stories out of Berwick's mouth are nothing but lies, and the stories against me are as well.

As the saying goes, truth is stranger than fiction. The fiction told about me is definitely out there, but the truth is even more whacky once you see the lengths Berwick, Kirley, and a few others, have gone to hide their identities and cover their tracks. I'm just here, at GGC, waiting for the storm to end.

Aw, doesn't Li'l Kenny Fraudster sounds so rational and upstanding? Not one week later he was back at it on another steemit blog trashing everybody having to do with Galt's Gulch Chile. He will never post any relevant evidence for his accusations because he doesn't have any. He's all character assassination, all the time. And all lies, all the time.

Post all the accounting records for the three fiscal years of Galt's Gulch Chile. Post the bank statements. Post all the legal documents that you're hiding. What are you afraid of, con man Kenneth Dale Johnson? Hmm? I thought you had nothing to hide.

@tuck-fheman You're back! I promise to do a sports car posting soon.

IDK if its always been the case, but IMO this whole tinfoil hat consiracy theory shemitiah thing seems more and more like thinly veiled anti-semitism every time

@tuck-fheman,
Your comic gave me a giggle. I hope you know I am a non-violent person and would never make any "guy disappear." In fact, I would probably allow someone to take me out before using deadly force. The only time I would certainly use deadly force would be in self-defense of my family, friends or the innocent.
Peace.

Hi there @barrycooper,
I'm a fan of your courage when I saw you first in this documentary "how to become a kingpin". Brillant piece Docu! However, you reply here saying; "You are a non-violent person, but would use deadly force in self-defense for friends or the innocent...." I really hope you choose your friends more wisely, or perhaps just defend the innocent friends. ;) Jeff doesn't seem to me to fall in to that category of innocents...

Thanks @alechahn. I'm glad you are a fan of my work. Although Jeff is my friend, my comment above was not in defense of him. It was in defense of me. The comic strip implies I am a person to call if another wants someone hurt. I'm nothing like that.

Hey Barry. As you've seen, from the long-winded (big surprise from me, I know) email that you received last year shows, Berwick has been involved in many things that have many victims. Has he repaid the large sums of money that he swindled from the victims of his Mexico passport scam? Clients state that he folded the company that his victims paid. Is that true?

Where is George? I was beginning to think he got kidnapped, hit, something....

I did but nobody would pay the ransom so they released me. - George

George said he got bored with Steemit. I think he stopped doing his videos......

He just needed to take a break to do some more writing on his novels, which is his true passion. We'll do some more videos before long.
