I am the victim of Fraud and Theft of my invention and my Shares in
my company and desperately need funds in order to fight my case in
court - Read my story and you will see how the "common man"
is expected to pay for his own case, as the Police, Banks and UK
Authorities are not interested in helping to gain justice.
THE NEXT STEP REQUIRES £6500 (+VAT)
I am totally at my wits end. In early October 2002 I invented a
new concept called CardsSafe following an incident at my local pub
regarding credit card security. I approached a Norwegian acquaintance,
Mr Trond Rornes based in the UK, who was very keen to get involved
with my idea, so we did some further research and decided there was a
market for the product.
I gave Mr Rornes half of the company`s shares, as I thought
there was plenty of potential and I`m not a greedy person.
Once I brought Mr Rornes on board, over the next few years it
was becoming increasingly clear that Mr Rornes`s personality and
working methods were not in the best interests of the company and that
he and his wife were running things for their own personal gain. This
lead to our influential sharholders and directors, one-by-one walking
away from Cardssafe.
I found out in Dec 2011 that he and his wife had made a
fraudulent online application to RBS bank in April 2009 without the
boards knowledge which circumvented the original/authentic Bank
Mandate that required my signature and one of theirs. The RBS terms
and conditions clearly state that to apply for online banking there
must have been a board resolution and that the application must be
signed by the chairman of that meeting. On the application form they
referred to a board meeting that took place in Feb 2008 and stated
that Mrs Rornes was the chairman and that a resolution was passed
regarding online banking, neither statements are true and I have the
witness statements and documentation of the actual person who chaired
the meeting, to prove this. After all , why would any company allow
two directors, husband & wife sole access to the company money. By
allowing this situation to happen, RBS have caused the company to
become unmanageable. RBS have twice disabled the online access only to
reinstate it later. RBS said "the dispute was between the
directors of the company and they could not get involved." At
this time I represented 44% of Cardssafe shares and Mr Rornes
represented 35%. It beggars belief that RBS could act in this way and
ignore the majority shareholder. RBS stated that there was no sign of
fraudulent activity occuring on the bank account, but how did they
know, they never asked myself or my fellow directors and shareholders
about payments being made. Did they just consult Mr & Mrs Rornes,
the perpetrators of this fraud, for this information? This is just
like someone finding your cheque book and signing cheques that the
bank continue to honour. The bank then conclude it is up to you,
personally, to sue the person. It is quite incredible.
I have exhausted my financial resources having recently spent
wisely on an analysis of my case, with a leading London Barrister,
which states clearly I have an
extremely strong case in law, but it requires further funding
to go to the next stage. I have also consulted a QC from a Grays Inn
chambers, who confirmed his conclusions.
I feel raped. My idea and company have been stolen from me by
people I trusted, and I am also thoroughly disgusted at the way RBS
have handled the situation.
.
CardsSafe now has over 4,000 customers and receive monthly
rental on the units, I have been mostly responsible for building this
recurring revenue but have not received any salary since Jan 2011.
This situation arose because I could not negotiate with Mr Rornes as
he had sole control of the company`s bank account and therefore
refused to negotiate about any serious company matters.
After RBS allowed, by their actions, Mr Rornes total control of
the bank account he then decided to start buying up the company shares
and made an offer of £100,000 for 15,000 shares from another director.
This director approached me and offerd me the shares due to her
concern regarding Mr Rornes becoming the majority shareholder and what
the implications for the company would be. It is quite obvious that
once Mr Rornes was allowed by RBS to have sole access to the company`s
bank account he became confident that he had a clear run to do as he pleased.
In desperation to acquire these shares and not having personal
money to do so myself, I lent my shares for security to a new investor
(Mr Nicholas Foster), to secure his investment of £105,000 to buy the
15,000 shares, on the understanding that when he had sold these shares
he would transfer the shares back to me, this was legally drawn up by
his solicitor and witnessed by my advisor. He sold the shares to Mr
Rornes for £120,000 in september 2012, he then emailed to say he would
now return the shares back to me but is now refusing to do so.
At this present time I have lost everything I worked so hard to
create. This could happen to anybody and only then will you appreciate
how impossible it is to get any justice unless you fund it yourself.
My legal team are ready to take the necessary legal steps but I am
unable to finance this.
How ironic I invented something to protect people against Fraud
& Theft only to become a victim of it myself.
Please can you help me fight this injustice.
