This [long] post shares the second set of feedback from BBX members following my first email asking for feedback. I asked these two questions: Are you happy as a BBX member? Can you spend your credits effectively? The responses paint a very clear picture of serious problems for the failing exchange. … [Read more...] about 20. More Words from BBX People

18. BBX Currency Analysis – 10c/$1.00
BBX International is a company in crisis. In previous posts I have shown that the company has been mismanaged (for years); has high Franchisee turnover and huge member dissatisfaction that stem from the owners raping and pillaging the credit of their members. In this post I analyse and explain the significance of debasing a currency, and in this case the BBX trade … [Read more...] about 18. BBX Currency Analysis – 10c/$1.00

16. BBX UK & The Franchise Show
BBX in the UK is currently attempting to franchise across the United Kingdom and has booked a stand at The Franchise Show in London. Coming right in the middle of my revelations in The BBX Investigation, this business expansion move is destined for disaster in more ways than one. It has the potential to put new BBX business owners at risk, it has the potential to … [Read more...] about 16. BBX UK & The Franchise Show
15. BBX Memberships – Names in a Database
In The BBX Investigation thus far I have shown immorality and incompetence within the BBX International management. I have stated broadly that membership numbers as claimed are inflated. I now give evidence [proof] of the extent of this deception, which is in the order of a factor of 10. Some entire countries within the BBX operations are essentially simply names in a … [Read more...] about 15. BBX Memberships – Names in a Database
14 The BBX Knives Are Coming Out
The only thing darkness fears is the light. With The BBX Investigation the knives are coming out as word gets out there and the light is shining right into the cracks of the BBX story-telling. Here are a few of the comments received recently from the Tipline relating to my recent investigation into BBX, starting with some of the tools I use to ferret out the truth . . . … [Read more...] about 14 The BBX Knives Are Coming Out
13. BBX Threatens – Sue Me PLEASE!
BBX International CEO Carolin MacDonald has issued me with a NOTICE TO CEASE AND DESIST PUBLICATION OF DEFAMATORY MATERIAL, and threatened to take me to court. Talk about being away with the fairies! Here is a copy of the warning notice and my commentary. Sadly, this will yet be more BS talk from the masters of . . . well you get the picture! Grab a beer … [Read more...] about 13. BBX Threatens – Sue Me PLEASE!
12. BBX Data Security Breach
During my investigation into BBX I established that a security problem existed in the storage and access of critical financial and personal information within the company management systems. I advised the public by way of my blogs, and other key people and entities, alerting them to the issues involved. These issues are at a criminal negligence level, depending on the … [Read more...] about 12. BBX Data Security Breach
11. BBX: Rats Off a Sinking Ship
In this post I give examples of feedback received from those watching events unfold with BBX. I observe a trade exchange’s demise as it is happening and I use real comments (and my responses) so that you too can see what I see, reality from the inside. The key take-home is that a barter business of the traditional model, built around a privately created … [Read more...] about 11. BBX: Rats Off a Sinking Ship
10. BBX Causes Problems for IRTA
In recent posts I have explained how my investigations into BBX, a Hong Kong-based, Australian run barter business have revealed criminal conduct on the part of BBX management. I have also alluded to the challenges that those who are involved have in being associated with the ailing (and I posit), dead and dying brand. I now discuss the issues that IRTA face in dealing … [Read more...] about 10. BBX Causes Problems for IRTA
9. BBX Crimes – The Significance
BBX is a criminal organisation. Management has knowingly flouted the laws in more than one country and for a long time, even going back to the days of the Founder, Michael Touma. In this post, the ninth in a series investigating BBX, I explain the enormous significance for those involved and associated with BBX now that matters are clearly criminal. It’s serious and scary, best … [Read more...] about 9. BBX Crimes – The Significance
8. BBX – The First Criminal Charges
Following my recent release of the results of my investigation into the International Barter business BBX, I announce here a major change in my direction. I have now moved from an investigative position into the role of an advocate. It is now my intention to [single-handedly again] terminate all BBX operations globally run by the current owners/managers and to achieve this … [Read more...] about 8. BBX – The First Criminal Charges
7. Reflections on Investigating BBX
Investigating BBX has been an interesting exercise in that I knew the founder and had inside knowledge of its operations by way of dealings with the company for many years before I started this investigation. I share here the personal side of exposing a struggling barter exchange and likely being a tangible conduit to its impending demise. In particular I deal with the … [Read more...] about 7.

5. The Demise of BBX
In this fifth of a series investigating Australian barter company BBX, I describe the process of a barter exchange demise and apply those stages to BBX, a business that while there are pockets of ethical trading is clearly corrupt from the top down and in its death throes. It contains a sad and brutal reality, such is the way of the truth sometimes, is it not? I also give … [Read more...] about 5. The Demise of BBX
4. BBX has big, Big, BIG Problems
In this fourth post in a series, I detail the big issues within BBX that have caused me to tip over the edge of silence and go public in the face of very serious issues within the BBX operations. I cannot speak of EVERYTHING I know but I can report here some of the main factors that I believe will bring the clearly struggling organisation down. BBX has big problems – simply … [Read more...] about 4. BBX has big, Big, BIG Problems
3. BBX is Busted – Working it Out
Credibility is a lifestyle thing, it’s not an event or a task that you switch on like an actor. Building credibility is a mission but is successful from time, not necessarily long periods of time but certain sequences of events that build over time. Conmen groom their victims by fast talk but also by gaining trust, even when it is not due. In this third post in my … [Read more...] about 3. BBX is Busted – Working it Out
2. War Erupts Within BBX Barter
I have recently received a list of questions about BBX, an Australian barter company wherein the writer, a BBX insider, invited me to dig deeper. If any of the fourteen questions and their implied claims have any validity, BBX is destined for disaster. This post contains the results of my digging because dig indeed I did. My take is that the questions pretty much … [Read more...] about 2. War Erupts Within BBX Barter
PUBLIC WARNING: BBX Barter
In this first of a series, I issue a public warning relating to the Hong Kong-based barter business BBX. BBX supposedly has an international presence of nigh on 100,000 cardholders but the reality is vastly different to that claimed. Due to recent developments, it is certainly destined for demise, and my take on things is that this will be sooner rather than later. It has … [Read more...] about PUBLIC WARNING: BBX Barter
Gossip, Trolls & Idiots
"Piss off mate!" some troll finished a rant with recently. "Diddums . . . get used to it!" was the essence of my reply. In this brief post I explain things; I confess (to loving the sound of my own voice) and then I teach why fools like this should keep doing what they do. Enjoy. … [Read more...] about Gossip, Trolls & Idiots
Hoffman on Usury
Michael Hoffman's handling of usury is exemplary. His book on Usury is a real treatise and his recent rehashing and quoting of this topic is worthy of note. I share here his recent words along with my commentary. Essentially, usury is the primary tool of enslavement. I endorse these words and trust that those with the capacity for truth will enjoy them. … [Read more...] about Hoffman on Usury
Understanding Systemic Corruption
"Obonoxious" is the global response to corruption, but using recent examples from engagements I explain how systemic corruption gains a foothold, then takes over, gaining power and then I go into the only real way to deal with it constructively. The way of the Master is NOT easy; nor is it popular, and it costs a lot more than many are prepared to pay, but it does deal to it … [Read more...] about Understanding Systemic Corruption
Beam Me Up, Scotty!
An update here from Matapuna, deep, down and dirty . . . the temptation is to respond in kind with the "ways of the world", (fighting fire with fire); to escape (as the Captain calls for from Scotty in the title quoted); or we can just box on. Most go the way of pragmatics but the genuine will never sompromise the truth and value justice. It is a lonely and can be a costly … [Read more...] about Beam Me Up, Scotty!
A Fencing Fight – Sorta Sorted
This post shares some of my experiences dealing with a neighbour about fencing upgrade, triggered by a decision I received yesterday, after nigh on a year of delays. I was ordered to pay $560.00 to my neighbour to restore a disputed 'old', and substandard fence on our boundary. You can look at this different ways . . . either I 'lost' in court; or I gained a Pyrrhic … [Read more...] about A Fencing Fight – Sorta Sorted
English: The Language of Exceptions
My recent use of the phrase "Ewen Mee" (popularised by institutionalised, old-school, Kiwi cartoonist, Minhinnick) provoked the ire of a mate of mine. "It's YOU and I!" he proudly spouted, as I argued with him. Taking out the "YOU" and it doesn't 'make sense' meant nothing to my mate, but the fact that we argued and can still share a pint shows our combined character - a good … [Read more...] about English: The Language of Exceptions

Questioning the Crewe Murders
This post addresses questions from a 68 old male who has wrestled with the Crewe murders for more than 50 years. I address them here and hope that they answer them in a way that helps him make sense of it all. In essence the Crewe murders are promoted by the Police as unsolved. They are not that for there are elements of the Police who knew, right back to the first few hours of … [Read more...] about Questioning the Crewe Murders

Weird Warning: 2A Para St
Amidst a truckload of legal matters LINZ has taken issue with my lease here at 2a Para St, Matapuna. I'll share the events no doubt in due course but their attempt to evict me started in earnest last July when a local builder laid claim to some scrap steel left over from a demolition job next door. The new tenant "got rid of it" to me and the cops charged me with Obtaining by … [Read more...] about Weird Warning: 2A Para St
MISFITS: Square Pegs in Round Holes
This post challenges the widespread assumptions that there is a norm, and that misfits are the (or a) problem. It is an attempt to explain the uniqueness that the Creator works with as opposed to evil, that has no creativity and can only copy. It is a deception that there is something wrong with one who challenges - it's actually the other way round - evil attempts to control … [Read more...] about MISFITS: Square Pegs in Round Holes
The ‘Skinny’ on Tom Faye
In this post I share more facts on Yusufa (Tom) Faye, a guy that I've previously called a fool, a loser and similar, and one who seems to be lacking a bit up top but does apparently listen. His latest attack on a local celebrity with more years building a decent reputation that he's been alive makes you wonder, but I conclude though with a stunning finding - they guy's the … [Read more...] about The ‘Skinny’ on Tom Faye
Suing KCET – the Backstory
This post gives the background to my taking KCET to court and includes a copy of the Statement of Claim, a detailed document that sets out all the relevant concerns and in my case (because I am not a lawyer) includes the basic relevant quotes. A Statement of Claim is an important document because it details your 'pleading' and what you are asking the judge to look at and … [Read more...] about Suing KCET – the Backstory
SC Discusses Cultural Significance
A recent Supreme Court ruling in New Zealand discusses the cultural significance of a Chinese concept - guānxi or relationship. Essentially it supported the Court of Appeal in their reversal of a High Court ruling that they found quite judgmental due to cultural insensitivities. It was a full Supreme Court panel of five judges who looked at it and I like the way these guys … [Read more...] about SC Discusses Cultural Significance
Dealing with Rudeness & Wrongness

In this post I give details of a defamation case that I propose to initiate next week - I intend to sue Karen Ngatai and her employer CLAW.
