Re: Crookbuster - MainStreet Spoken Of Incorrectly For Self Serving Reasons.....
If one does appropriate searches of ASIC and or MainStreet material, one clearly sees that Leif Schipper does
NOT have an association with MainStreet, but in fact
HIS Company acts as a Corporate Advisor and has done so for many years with numerous Public Companies, Listed and otherwise, both in Australia and on a global basis including USA and NASDAQ Listed Companies.
A Google Search of
Leif Schipper simply shows an Article written in 2007 about a Lawyer by the name off
Michael Brereton who had acted for and known to Leif Schipper over some 37 years and it is THAT Lawyer that the Article is about in so far as the Australian Crime Commission (ACC) continuing investigation of that Lawyer and
NO connection of that Investigation with Leif Schipper. The reference made about Leif Schipper was the “attempted inference” that he
MAY know something about his former Lawyer and such reference is a matter that Leif Schipper has apparently dealt with the ACC even though he has been cleared of
ANY association with that Lawyer in the matter investigated by the ACC.
The reference to his own Court Case is actually 2002,
NOT 2007 and relates to a client of his former Accounting Practice who entered into a Tax Effective Investment with an un-related Investment Promotion Company and is currently under review from an Appeal and Quashing basis ;
NOT a multi million dollar scam of Leif Schipper’s making as
CROOKBUSTER attempts to infer and sensationalise incorrectly for his own purposes, whatever they may be and whom ever HE may be. Interestingly, there is
NO reference in Google or anywhere else regarding the case in question, simply the Sydney Moring Herald article of 2007 to which Leif Schipper was “unable” to pass comment due to
“secrecy provisions” imposed by Government authorities. It is understood that negotiations are and have been underway for some years to have this case Appealed and Quashed at which time, no doubt, appropriate information will be produced by the “media” and Google alike.
The reference to the Director and MainStreet Marketing Group Pty ( correctly registered as Mainstreet International Marketing Group Pty Ltd) is simply
FACTUALLY INCORRECT and the “specific details” that CROOKBUSTER is
DIRECTLY referring to would
NOT be known to him, even the correct ones,as such would
ONLY be known to the original Administrator and now Liquidator. Interestingly, the now Liquidator of this Company is one
David Clout of Brisbane whom Mr Mark McIvor
“attempted” to have put in place in ETL without success ; how so does one Liquidator pass on
ANY information whatsoever about a Company that he has an official position in.......we are sure that ASIC would like to ask the same question as to Professional Conduct !!
From records made available by the Company in question, the
“REASON” for the Company being placed into Administration in the first place in December 2010 was due to the ATO seeking to “claw back” Research & Development Grants which it had not only approved BUT also paid out considerable sums ; a process it was also applying to many other Companies in Australia as appeared in the National Media.
The usual process by the ATO is to pursue
“collection” of Refunds sought, whilst the Company attempts to go down an
“objection” course ; the reality being, Objections would take far longer than the “collection process” by the ATO, hence the sole Director of the Company placed it into administration whilst putting together a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA) and a
“rogue” disputed Creditor placed the Company into Liquidation during the process.
There is
NO reference to “insolvent trading” of this or other MainStreet Companies and the reference to a “history of not paying entitlements” is neither recorded as such and comes from what source ? The Director in question by
CROOKBUSTER and the referred Advisor, through the Voluntary Administration (VA) Process, that ALL bona fide employees received their entitlements via the Government Authority known as GEERS, upon which, ALL such Employees voted “in favour” of the attempted DOCA put forward by the Holding Company which had the support of ALL of the Holding Company Shareholders and Board of Directors, of which, the named Director by CROOKBUSTER is one of three such Directors.
Upon looking at MainStreet Information Memorandums there is
NO mention of them dealing in
“financial products” or “financial processing” ; another attempt it appears for the likes of CROOKBUSTER to create a
“smoke screen” for Mark McIvor or for MM to do so himself via this “namesake” ......in ANY event, simply
INCORRECT FACTUAL MATTERS ONCE AGAIN !!
Authorities referred to should be looking at ETL for the VERY reason that CROOKBUSTER attempts to relate to Mainstreet in a
“fabricated” fashion ; ETL is the one with a
“previous” AFS Licence for this purpose which has
NOW been
SUSPENDED for ONE YEAR and a Receiver placed in charge of its FUNDS !!
Those associated with this company group have a history of dishonest conduct. If you search on Google you will find that Mr Leif Schipper (an accountant) did some time in Jail from 2007 due to his involvement in a multi million dollar tax scam.
Mr Greg Hannan has allowed companies in his control to trade while insolvent Mainstreet International Marketing Group Pty 26 096 439 762 (insolvent). He also has a history of not ensuring his employees entitlements are paid. He should be attracting much attention from ASIC, ACCC and the tax office due his past conduct, track record and lack of corporate compliance.
Has the credibility of these companies ever been examined by the relevant authorities considering they are dealing in financial products and financial processing?
What protection do consumers have?
