Is Henry Kaye back in business already?

For those of us wondering what Henry Kaye has been up to lately, this could be the answer:

On 19-20 March, a company called “Evolution Education” is running a property spruiking event in Melbourne. Check out how they pitch it:

Let me ask you a high level question…

Is your ability to come up with the initial 10% Deposit on your investment property leaving you locked out from the property market?

If the answer is YES, then you need to book yourself into the next Property Express Weekend live workshop!

By attending this unique live 2 Day event, you will learn how ‘To Manufacture A 10% Deposit In Your Next Property Purchase!’, which include;
10% Deposit rebate from the developer at the settlement of the property.
10% Gifted deposit from the developer when buying property.
Long Term Settlement, not the Contract Price.
Residential Lending plus Personal Loans in order to obtain 100 percent Finance.
Buying properties via Equity Partners and Joint Ventures (JV’s).

And here is the really cool part of this live event!

Not only will the event be covering each one of the 5 above topics in great detail, we will also be showing you actual deals that we have personally put together for some private clients this year.

Yep, that’s right. It sounds a lot like the hype used to push property scams that Henry Kaye has previously run through Jamie McIntyre of 21st Century Education and Greg Klopper of Global 1. Very much like it.

But there’s more…

Check out the line up of spruikers, Henry Kaye has put the band back together. Steven Molnar, Konrad Bobilak, Cameron Fisher and Stephen McClatchie: all experienced seminar property spruikers who’ve pushed Henry’s past scams via Jamie McIntyre’s company.

The CEO of Evolution Education is Chris Freeman. There are four speakers appearing at the event: Steven Molnar, Konrad Bobilak, Cameron Fisher and Stephen McClatchie.

All five of them are known associates of Jamie McIntyre. All have been involved with his many and varied property scams in the past. In fact, they were publicly spruiking for McIntyre as recently as 12-18 months ago.

So let’s break down what we know:

• Jamie McIntyre and Henry Kaye are very close and long-term friends.

• To date every time Jamie McIntyre has run a property scam, Henry Kaye has been behind it. Every time. McIntyre clearly isn’t bothered by having his links to Kaye exposed, because he’s continued to work with him after each bout of negative publicity.

• Henry Kaye likes to stay out of sight, so in the past he’s run a number of his property scams by having Michael Grochowski front them using his company, the infamous “Project Management (Aust) Pty Ltd”.

• The last year has been tough on McIntyre, Kaye and their associates. ASIC is pursuing Grochowski, Kaye’s sister Julia Feldman, Greg Klopper, Rowan Burn and others. ASIC has also wound up a number of McIntyre’s companies, and Project Management Australia is gone too.

• Greg Klopper has shut down Global 1, so Henry isn’t seeing any revenue from him.

• Jamie McIntyre is valiantly trying to spruik on, but he’s had so much bad publicity for his role in the land banking scam that his sales have dried up. Of course Jamie still finds the odd sucker now and then, but there aren’t many marks left who are gullible enough to buy a scammy property deal without at least Googling Jamie’s name.

• Henry Kaye needs a new sales channel and he needs one urgently. He’s been shut out of the land option business for a year now and that’s got to hurt.

What’s interesting is the blatant and obvious way these guys have gone about it. All five of them are well known as Henry and Jamie’s boys, yet they’ve made no attempt to keep any of them out of public view. They’re all named in the event promotion, front and centre.

They’ve even set up shop for Evolution Education at 72 York Street, South Melbourne. That’s just a couple of doors down from the old Project Management Australia office at number 92, so they’re certainly not trying to hide.

So Henry has set up a new seminar company and stacked it with his favourite spruikers from Jamie McIntyre’s company. He’s put the band back together!

The loser in all this of course is McIntyre. He’s out in the cold now, since he’s no more use to Henry. His name has been blackened beyond redemption and he’ll be mired in court cases from the land option scam for years to come. Oh well, at least he’ll have Greg Klopper for company as he’s in the same boat.

It’ll be interesting to see how long it will be before ASIC takes an interest in this new operation. Until then, the good people of Melbourne will just to be careful to give Henry Kaye’s 5-man property spruiking team a wide berth, for the sake of their financial health.

Be careful, everyone. Henry Kaye is still out there, still scheming and he still has his eye on your hard-earned savings.

Global 1 collapses and Greg Klopper crawls back under a rock

Ahhh, yes! This blog received a very welcome Christmas present with Greg Klopper and Global 1 finally reaching the end of the road. Not with a bang (at least not yet), but rather with a whimper. Let me explain…

Recapping the last few months

“Oops, I tanked my company by hooking up with Henry Kaye!”

Back in mid-August we heard the news that ASIC was going after land banking scams. Their main focus initially was Jamie McIntyre’s schemes, but they flagged clearly that the Global 1 scam was in their crosshairs too:

Watchdog moves on land banking as investors fear losses

Similar schemes operating in Melbourne’s outer west and spruiked by a separate but closely related property firm, Market First, have so far avoided ASIC action.

Feldman has been a key player in both 21st Century and Market First. Insiders confirm that she plays an identical marketing role in both Market First and 21st Century and has had a role in most of schemes.

Also central to the operations of both Market First and 21st Century is Greg Klopper, the man behind Global1, and another name linked to Kaye, whose company organises major spruiking events for both 21st Century and Market First based on its massive database.

And…

The growing list of projects have so far failed to produce a single house, much less the helipads, sky lounges, and waterfront lifestyles depicted in brochures and videos used to promote them.

The outlandish claims of “lifestyle” precincts and “architectural masterpieces” in the backblocks of Melbourne’s outer west are now something of a joke among the property and development industry.

Fairfax Media has confirmed from several well-placed sources that at the very time Market First was stepping up pressure on investors to tip money into the Foscari scheme, those behind it were trying to on-sell their own project.

Then late September saw a day of evidence on land banking scams given to the senate enquiry into financial advice. Three victims of Greg Klopper & Rowan Burn’s scam gave evidence on how they were sucked in and fleeced of their hard-earned money:

Economics References Committee – 30/09/2015 – Scrutiny of financial advice

And then, finally, in mid December came the news we’d all been waiting for: at last ASIC was finally moving on the Global 1 scam property companies. Presumably they’d been preoccupied with Jamie McIntyre, but at last had enough free bandwidth to sort out Greg and co too.

Watchdog moves on Henry Kaye-linked scheme

A massive land banking scam linked to notorious property spruiker Henry Kaye is in tatters after the corporate regulator moved to wind up housing projects in Melbourne’s outer west and Bendigo.

The two projects – among about 10 such schemes in Victoria and Queensland – are known as Foscari in Wyndham and Hermitage in Bendigo.

The ASIC statement noted that Foscari and Hermitage projects were not close to completion and “appear to be incapable of completion due to the financial position of the development companies”.

The focus of a Fairfax investigation early this year, the Foscari project had been spruiked as an “iconic, architectural masterpiece” by shady marketing firm Market First. But years after it was flogged in manipulative and misleading seminars it remains a disused rubbish dump in Palmers Road, Truganina.

In March, Fairfax Media revealed that ASIC was investigating a string of projects linked to Kaye and or his sister, Julia Feldman. The inquiry followed Fairfax revelations in January about Foscari and a second Melbourne project, Veneziane in Melton.

Ha, “manipulative and misleading seminars” – Greg Klopper’s specialty!

What happens now?

Of course Greg was a director of Market First, along with Rowan Burn and Henry Kaye’s sister, Julia Feldman. That means he could face prosecution for his role in the company, along with the others, and ASIC could go after his assets. Oh, Greg!

But wait, there’s more! More good news, that is.

Business partners no longer.

Greg Klopper’s seminar company, Global 1 Events, was at best marginally profitable without the land banking scam. All of Greg’s profits in recent years came from the scheme; it propped up the rest of his business.

So when the scandal broke at the start of 2015, Greg’s initial plan was to batten down the hatches and wait for it all to blow over. Then he would start up the scam again and continue business as usual.

Unfortunately, without the money from the land banking scam, Global 1 was burning cash and it soon became apparent that the scandal wasn’t going to blow over any time soon. Between the senate enquiry, ASIC investigation and a class action lawsuit, Greg was getting an uncomfortable level of scrutiny that was clearly going to continue for a while.

Then things took a turn for the worse when Global 1’s long-suffering speakers started to jump ship. No one wanted the reputational headache of being linked to Henry Kaye and his crooked promoter.

One by one, Global 1’s roster of speakers finished up their commitments and ended their relationship with the company. The last one to go was the mainstay of Greg’s business, platitude-spouting chiropractor John Demartini, whose team had been urging an end to the Global 1 relationship for a long time.

Concerned Global 1 customer #1

At last Greg realised the game was up. With no money coming in, he had to downsize drastically and urgently. In fact, he shrank Global 1 down to the size of a shoebox and then put it away on the top shelf of his cupboard.

As of today, on Global1’s page for upcoming events, the only name still showing is Ben Harvey, a man who’s always been unconcerned about damage to his reputation. After all, Ben started out with Global 1 by running the sales team and signing clients up after Rowan Burn pitched land banking from the stage.

All of Global 1’s events for 2016

While Ben is happy to whore himself out for a buck, even his events are not being run by Global 1 but rather by Ben himself. Greg is merely promoting them as an affiliate, linking to Ben’s website and earning a small commission on the back end.

Concerned Global 1 customer #2

Global 1 quietly moved out of their office near Kings Cross, and today the only address for the company is a PO box in North Sydney.

All the employees have now gone, leaving only Greg and a couple of offshore outsourcers.

Greg rages as his reputation is tarnished

The former inner circle of Global 1, Greg’s leadership team, say that the thing which upsets Greg far more than anything else, is when his name is mentioned in coverage of the Henry Kaye scam.

News stories about Rowan Burn or Market First ripping off unsuspecting investors: meh, no biggie. But a media stories names “Greg Klopper” along with Henry Kaye…well, Greg just blows his top! It’s been a regular source of amusement for everyone watching the scandal unfold; as if Greg truly believes he still has a reputation to protect, aside from being known as Henry Kaye’s bitch.

That’s why he folded Global 1 so quietly and slipped away to crawl back under his rock. He didn’t want any attention drawn to his business partnership with infamous scammer Henry Kaye.

Remember all the effort Greg was putting into online reputation management at the start of this year?

Greg Klopper’s damage control begins

Many of those astroturfing sites have gone dark now, as Greg sees now reason to pay for hosting just to protect the reputation of an inactive company.

And remember how I predicted that Greg would change the domain details to remove his name and link them to some stooge instead? Well I was right, though I didn’t predict that Internet entrepreneur Domenic Carosa would be the one to help Greg out. Yes, Domenic had one of his employees take over as the contact for the marketfirst.com.au domain and spare Greg the exposure.

Ah, but it won’t work. It can’t: there are now too many high profile (and high PageRank) articles about Greg’s involvement in Henry Kaye’ scam. It can’t ever be covered up now, the names Greg Klopper and Henry Kaye are inextricably linked, forever. Just like Jamie McIntyre and Henry Kaye have been linked for years, even before this latest scandal.

The best news of all

This is all very satisfying personally, but the best news is simply the fact that as we head into 2016, Australian property investors have one less scam to beware of. They are a little safer than before.

With Greg and Jamie out of action, Henry Kaye has no sales channel for his crooked schemes – at least until he recruits the next rube to front his scheme, but that will take some time. And who knows, perhaps the ASIC investigation into Greg and Jamie’s schemes will put a more permanent stop to them and Henry Kaye. Jail time would be nice, but probably unlikely. Stripping them of their assets or bankruptcy would be nearly as good in terms of preventing future scams.

That’s something to hope for in the new year, as the various investigations and law suits continue to unfold, with ever-more press coverage at every step. Here’s to crossing our fingers for a great result.

Rowan Burn tries to revive his dead career

Rowan Burn, Henry Kaye’s salesman

Talk about a tough ask! Rowan Burn was very much the face of Greg Klopper and Henry Kaye’s land banking scam. He pitched the crooked investments from stage at Global 1 events around the country. He fronted Market First Group, the company that banked the money from investors, but did NOT spend any of it actually completing the developments and instead simply paid it all out to Greg, Henry, Julia and Rowan.

So it was always Rowan’s cock on the block, which is why no one was surprised that he disappeared when the scandal first hit the press.

What is a bit surprising is that Rowan thinks he can already start on his comeback. Dude, this is just way too soon! The senate enquiry is still underway, the ASIC investigation is still running, various class action lawsuits are yet to run their course.

No, if Rowan had any sense he’d still be keeping a very low profile. But then, if he had any sense he wouldn’t have become the front man for Henry Kaye in the first place.

Over at Rowan’s personal web page, the “About Us” page has recently been replaced by a page named “rebrand-about-us”, which offers insights such as:

“Rowan Burn has worked in the fields of property and human behavior for the last 15 years. He’s built a significant property portfolio in that time and worked with thousands of clients to maximise their potential and help them discover their drive and purpose in life.

He’s done this by studying principles of wealth building and human behavior from some the worlds leading minds and visionaries”

Leaving aside the fact that there’s some serious questions over whether Rowan really has been successful as a property investor, it’s interesting to see him credit Henry Kaye, his mentor, as one of “the worlds leading minds and visionaries”. Hmmm.

“I believe there are no mistakes in life, everything we experience is here to help us grow, evolve our awareness and ultimately fulfil our potential.”

Hmm, Rowan: you don’t think that hitching your wagon to Henry Kaye’s nasty scam was a mistake? Well, I certainly hope you’ve grown and evolved a hell of a lot from the experience. You’re gonna need it.

Anyone who’s impressed by how well Rowan executed on Henry Kaye’s instructions in the Global 1 scam, now has the opportunity to sign up for pricey “wealth mentoring” with Rowan. I suspect you won’t learn much about successfully investing in property, but if you want to learn how to run your own scam to fleece mums and dads out of millions, then Rowan’s your go-to guy.

Jamie McIntyre discovers the Streisand Effect

This year has seen the lid blown off Henry Kaye’s land banking scheme through multiple stories in the Fairfax papers. Now the secret is out, everyone who’s been paying attention knows that Henry and his puppets have been scamming people for the last 4 years.

There’s also an active ASIC investigation under way. They want to nail Henry real bad, after he avoided jail for his first, high-profile $60 million scam in the early 2000s.

Now there’s a senate inquiry about to start too.

What’s fascinating is how differently Henry’s two sales channels are dealing with all the unwanted exposure:

• Greg Klopper of Global 1 Events and Market First Group has gone silent, battened down the hatches and is waiting for it to all “blow over”. Then he’ll start things up again with a new speaker/spruiker to replace Rowan Burn as seminar spruiker/front man.
• Jamie McIntyre of 21st Century Education and 21st Century Property has instead gone on the warpath, trying to smear ASIC, Fairfax and everyone who has lost money in his schemes or blown the whistle on his scams.

McIntyre sure has some chutzpah and he certainly has no shame. He’s decided to go in boots and all on land banking, since it’s his most profitable scam at the moment. Hence he’s been using his own rag of a newspaper for the purpose he created it for, which is pushing his message free of any need for accuracy or journalistic integrity:

Jamie McIntyre welcomes Senate questioning over land banking

ASIC exposed for attempting to cause $5.5 million in investor losses to frame one of its biggest critics

Exclusive ANR Interview: CEO of 21st Century Group Jamie McIntyre exposes ASIC for attempting to cause $5.5 million in investor losses

Is Jamie McIntyre being wrongly targeted by Fairfax?

Is Fairfax lying and deceiving its readers to try and character assassinate Jamie McIntyre?

ASIC does nothing as Fairfax Media lose investors almost half a billion in failed property projects

According to McIntyre’s swathe of astroturf articles he’s an upstanding and honest citizen, the only “property entrepreneur” willing to take on a corrupt, socialist, government regulator on behalf of small investors.

He claims he’s the innocent victim of a conspiracy between an incompetent ASIC and an incompetent Fairfax. He’s going to spend however many millions of dollars it takes to expose the conspiracy and bring justice to his investors as well as himself.

Yeah, right.

If you believe that bunch of bulldust, I have a bridge to sell you! Or if you prefer, you can get a 10 year option on the bridge instead… Get in now, the sky is the limit on future bridge prices, you can’t lose!

The downside for crooks that go on the offensive to proclaim their innocence, is that it invokes the Streisand Effect, and they attract even more negative publicity.

McIntyre’s antics have prompted attention from The Australian newspaper now, who’ve written a half-dozen stories on his latest run-in with ASIC over the land banking scam. The latest one is the best yet – enjoy!

Jamie McIntyre launches bizarre tirade against ASIC

THE AUSTRALIAN

AUGUST 20, 2015 12:00AM

Kylar Loussikian

Journalist

Embattled property spruiker Jamie McIntyre has taken a ­savage swing at the corporate regulator, accusing it, in a bizarre recorded interview, of being ­corrupt and socialist.

The Australian Securities & Investments Commission this month began proceedings to appoint receivers to landbanking schemes promoted by Mr McIntyre and his company, 21st Century Property, alleging they were in fact unlicensed managed investment schemes.

Responding to the allegations in a video uploaded to his self-published Australian National Review website, Mr McIntyre accused the regulator of deliberately causing losses.

“They don’t like entrepreneurs, these are a bunch of socialists that work for the government, bureaucrats that have no idea about the real world, have left-leaning socialist views and they hate entrepreneurs,” he said.

“Some people in Australia don’t like the wealthy people, they think it’s a crime to be wealthy, so they went after Andrew Forrest, they went after Jodee Rich and other wealthy entrepreneurs, these cases they lost and were kicked out of court.”

The market regulator has begun proceedings in the Federal Court over five separate investment schemes operated by 21st Century, largely in Victoria.

ASIC also contended, court documents show, that the developments are “incapable” of being completed because the underlying land was either not yet owned by Mr McIntyre or financed by way of mortgage, and the relevant planning authorities had stated the land for each planned development was “highly unlikely” to be rezoned for residential use in the foreseeable future.

Mr McIntyre has denied the claims, and a spokeswoman said companies within the group may often have had “intercompany loans or owe payments for ­services rendered, as a normal part of operations”. The Australian can reveal that Mr McIntyre — who ASIC has ­alleged is pooling monies received as part of the landbanking promotions across his other businesses — has paid to have criticism of him removed from search results.

Mr McIntyre, as well as a firm called Internet Reputation Australia, repeatedly sent cease-and-desist letters to Google, demanding the removal of links to blogs and other websites that suggested the land banking schemes and other promotions run by 21st Century, were scams.

“We are authorised to ­represent Jamie McIntyre in relation to all risk services including internet defamation,” Internet Reputation Australia’s Zach Featherstone wrote to Google in 2012. “The site suggests that Jamie McIntyre is a scammer and is currently operating scams. It also suggests that Jamie is ripping ­people off,” the notice reads.

“Jamie McIntyre has never operated a scam. Jamie McIntyre has not been charged, arrested, or convicted of any dishonesty offence. Jamie McIntyre would not be involved with any offences of this nature.”

A spokeswoman for 21st ­Century said a court had asked Google to remove the links “because it was allowing Google ads to be run against his name by someone who had posted false and defamatory content”.

Ah, Jamie… you really should have known better! This will not end well for you.

Greg, Rowan, Henry and Jamie make the news again

How reassuring to see that Fairfax are not letting up in their coverage of the whole big Henry Kaye–Jamie McIntyre–Greg Klopper–Global 1 Events–Rowan Burn–Market First–Michael Grochowski–Julia Feldman land banking clusterfuck.

The Global 1 Events team: before and after their name was dragged through the mud by the Henry Kaye land banking scam.

A long & detailed article published yesterday provides an update on ASIC’s latest efforts to shut down Henry Kaye, along with his front men/puppets Jamie McIntyre and Greg Klopper, for good.

It’s not pretty at all. So far as the unwitting suckers investors are concerned, describing the ugly mess into which their money has vanished as a “clusterfuck” is an understatement. Here’s the latest Fairfax story:

Watchdog moves on land banking as investors fear losses

At present, Jamie McIntyre and his brother Dennis are at the top of ASIC’s hit list.

But this story is a comforting reminder that Greg Klopper of Global 1 Events and his frontman/spruiker Rowan Burn are still on ASIC’s to-do list.

That’s a good thing: just like Jamie McIntyre, Greg Klopper needs to be shut down for good before he can restart the scam with Henry Kaye.

Land banking salesman Greg Klopper with self-help “guru” John Demartini

Word of the scam has spread widely through Global 1’s database of self-help seminar junkies, built from marketing of John Demartini events. Greg scammed hundreds of those clients and now they’ve all received the “we’re sorry” letters from Slater & Gordon after the firm realised it had been unwittingly working with Henry Kaye.

You can’t keep something like that covered up, so there’s been much discussion of the Henry Kaye-backed land option scam among Global 1’s fans of Demartini. It’s going to be hard to flog more scam property investments to those clients when Greg is ready to kick things off with his new spruiking frontman, who I’ll call “Replacement-for-Rowan”.

Kahlia Ericson tries to rent out the old Market First Group office on Greg Klopper’s instructions

To get around that, Greg has been building new client databases on new topics, so there will be little overlap with the “poisoned” Demartini database.

Featuring prominently in that venture is Ryan Deiss, a baby-faced Internet marketing guru from the USA. As Deiss was getting into bed with Global 1 he was warned of their tie-in with Henry Kaye, the closest Australian equivalent to Bernie Madoff-type character.

But Deiss showed his character by ignoring the warning and disregarding the harm that could be caused to unsuspecting Australian attendees at his event. Like Kaye and Klopper, Deiss chose money over integrity.

Klopper’s company Global 1 Events recently ran an Australian version of Deiss’ regular US-based Internet marketing event, “Traffic and Conversion Summit” in Sydney.

For selling a piece of his soul to Greg and his property spruiking mates, Deiss walked away with a bag of cash.

Janine Allis, Ryan Deiss and Greg Klopper on stage at Traffic and Conversion Summit Australia

And Greg got what he wanted too: he used Deiss’ name and brand to pull in lots of new names for his email list – all aspiring Internet marketers, most of whom have never been to a Demartini event and who haven’t heard about Greg’s ties to Henry Kaye.

In other words: Greg picked up a ton of fresh meat for the next incarnation of his and Henry’s land banking scam.

Also featuring in yesterday’s story is Michael Grochowski, Henry Kaye’s bagman, fixer and puppet. Kaye of course was banned from running a company by ASIC, so can’t be seen to be in control of a scheme; having Grochowski sign all the paperwork avoids any problems with the corporate plod.

Plus, Kaye can’t be seen meeting with either Greg Klopper or Jamie McIntyre. Australian punters are a bit naive about those two sharks, but they would never touch an investment if they knew Henry Kaye was behind it!

Don’t get me wrong: both Jamie and Greg do meet regularly with Henry, plus all the calls and emails. It’s just all kept very secret squirrel, so that Henry stays safely in the shadows. For a long time, Henry used the personal email address reconsultco@gmail.com; when ASIC took a peek into that account, they found a ton of emails between Henry, Klopper, McIntyre, Grochowski, Feldman and their foot soldiers. It will make for fascinating reading when it goes public.

Ah, it’s going to be an exciting senate enquiry!

You can be sure the Fairfax reporters will be there for every minute of it, so there are going to be a lot more stories like yesterday to air all the dirty laundry as it’s revealed. I can’t wait!

ASIC: one scalp in hand, two to go

The wheels of justice turn slowly at ASIC, but they roll on until the job is done.

Having put many months into their investigation of Henry Kaye’s land option scam, ASIC finally moved on one of his two sales channels: Jamie McIntyre and his seminar spruiking company 21st Century Property.

Henry Kaye and Jamie McIntyre: the best friends attend a party together

With a solid case against McIntyre prepared, ASIC moved to put his and brother Dennis’ passports under lock and key to ensure he sticks around to face the music.

Terminated too? Corporate plod takes aim at property spruiker Jamie McIntyre

Jamie McIntyre’s schemes under ASIC fire

They have their hand on his scalp, blade in hand, ready to take their trophy…

It’s a start, but there’s more to be done.

In order to end the land banking scam once for good and prevent anyone else being scammed, there are three people who need to be nailed to the wall by ASIC and preferably do some jail time:

1. Jamie McIntyre
2. Henry Kaye
3. Greg Klopper of Global 1 Events

Greg Klopper, next target of ASIC’s investigation

If any of the three gets away, they’ll just start up the scam all over again.

ASIC is doubtless being careful and methodical, as both Kaye and McIntyre have slipped through their fingers before.

Klopper is new to the game and under ASIC scrutiny for the first time. But he’s proven to be a natural at property scamming and has learned fast.

Rowan Burn: former front man for Greg Klopper’s spruiking scheme, now in hiding

It’s certain that ASIC is carefully building cases against Kaye and Klopper and will pull the trigger on them too, as soon as it is ready. That day is not far off, but it can’t come soon enough.

Another Henry Kaye company collapses

No, not Global 1. Or 21st Century Education. Unfortunately. Hopefully both these companies will have their day or reckoning soon.

Today it’s the company that was supposedly going to build the development in Bendigo that Jamie McIntyre flogged to all his seminar going victims:

Land banking company linked to Henry Kaye collapses

Of course, McIntyre’s previous project outside Shepparton collapsed in exactly the same way. So, was the Bendigo project ever going to be built? It seems clear that it wasn’t, and this is how Henry operates.

We’ll learn more about Global 1’s dubious development in western Melbourne when Greg Klopper is hauled in to the senate inquiry later this year.

The Global1 Scam: More Coverup Attempts

Greg Klopper and Kahlia Erickson at Global 1 Events are still trying desperately to cover up their land option scam with Henry Kaye. After a short pause, their reputation management consultants are again pumping out dozens of fake articles and videos in an attempt to bury the real story in search results.

Here’s a sampling:

Greg Klopper and Henry Kaye to face senate inquiry

Shit just got real!

Last week the Fairfax papers reported that there will be a senate inquiry into Henry and Greg’s land banking scam:

Henry Kaye grilling? Senate to probe land-banking schemes

“The Senate committee will probe the advice on, and marketing of, land-banking schemes as part of an ongoing inquiry into the financial advice.”

“The committee has the power to summons witnesses, raising the prospect of rare direct questioning of Kaye, who has avoided public scrutiny for years.”

And not just Henry, but Greg will be hauled in to face the inquiry too. No doubt a lot of victims of Global 1 Events will be keen to watch that!

That’s in addition to the ASIC investigation, which is already digging into Greg’s involvement in the scam:

“Fairfax Media has obtained ASIC documents outlining an investigation of Kaye, McIntyre, his brother Dennis, seminar organiser Global 1, and lawyers Darren Eliau and Ben Skinner from legal firm Evans Ellis, formerly known as Clamenz Evans Ellis.”

A week earlier, ASIC publicly confirmed that their investigation is expected to be completed by the end of this year:

Henry Kaye back on Aussie watchdog’s radar

Of course mere investigations won’t stop Greg. He’s already brainstorming with Henry the when, where and how of starting up the scam again. Once the public scrutiny dies away, there will be another company to replace Market First, another front man to replace Rowan Burn and then the dodgy brothers will be back in business together.

Given that ASIC is unlikely to jail Henry and Greg, the only way to protect the public is to warn them about these two.

Here comes ASIC

More bad news for Greg Klopper today, with the first published confirmation of the ASIC investigation which is giving him sleepless nights and making his speakers nervous:

Henry Kaye probed over $100 million schemes

The key paragraph is this one:

“Fairfax Media has obtained ASIC documents detailing its new investigation of Kaye, McIntyre, his brother Dennis, seminar organiser Global 1, and lawyers Darren Eliau and Ben Skinner from legal firm Evans Ellis, formerly known as Clamenz Evans Ellis.”

Well, if any good can come of this then hopefully Global 1’s unfortunate clients will get at least some of their money back from this scam.

How could you, Greg? How could you do a deal with a spruiker like Henry Kaye and rip off so many clients who trusted you?

It’s shameful.
