Those Producers are part of the 1%

Timely....

Just sayin.

First, the old news

As I mentioned this is a post that was written last year some time. Some of it is out of date now but I'm posting it anyway.

Alot has changed since I last posted about Those Producers. This will be a huge update!

Officially, The Producers Inc have been reduced to just one. As of the annual report in April, the only one remaining is Vernon "Butch" Decossas. To make things interesting, his name is intentionally miss-spelled as Decosas. Anyway, removed from the company listing are Michal Gardner, Sigmund Solares, Noah Lieske, Donald Simonton, and William Moore.

In anticipation of his "promotion", Butch (or someone working for Butch obviously) has spammed his name across the internet in various blogs to water down his Google results. It's still quite easy to find information on him though. You can find out where he and his wife Lisa Decossas live, their previous jobs at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, etc.

Butch also registered a few domain names:

those-producers.com

those-producers.info

those-producers.net

thoseproducers.com

thoseproducers.info

thoseproducers.net

vernondecossas.com

noah-lieske.com

sigsolares.com

sig-solares.com

sigmund-solares.com

butch-decossas.com

vernon-decossas.com

butchdecossas.com

thoseproducers.us which still has Vernons home address and personal email...

Butch and Donny Simonton have also gotten together to start Keypath, LLC. More details to come on that one...

Michael Gardner has been quiet but his wife Katie Gardner is reportedly pregnant. Congrats Katie and Michael! My suggestions for baby names: Melissa or Serge. Unfortunately no more teeny bikinis for you Katie! I also forgot to mention that Katie started another business last year (One Eight, LLC... check on sunbiz.org for details) and used it to buy a house just a few blocks away from their home in Belleair Beach. It's a big step down from the other house, which they still own ofcourse, and it's not on the water but it's close by and has a pool. It looks decent. It's probably bought for a family member like how Michael bought a place for his sister Alysons family. What a guy!

Sigmund Solares has also been quiet except for some traveling, pool parties and buying a run-down place in Seffner. His sister, Vivian Solares got married though and now owns a restaurant with her new husband and Sig. Rajun Cajun Cafe & Catering in Metairie. Check it out. The gumbo is alright.

I was surprised to see Sigmunds old Money Tree Loans, LLC business still active with Vernon Delossas running it now. Again with the bad spelling? Really? Anyway, a quick search brings up this old gem:

"ALERT TO PROPERTY OWNERS!

by digest, 6/22/06 23:12 ET

If you own property in New Orleans be aware of this scam. There is a ghost company, Money Tree Loans, LLc. listed at 650 Poydras street, suite 1150, who are taking advantage of the disaster and displaced residents. The company is not actually at the address another company called Intercosmos, is listed at this address and may be part of this scam. My neighbor, who has paid bills and taxes religiously recieved a notice in the mail, from a tenant. The notice looks like junk mail and is listed under Money Tree Loans which does not exist. My neighbor had never recieved any notice to the home address from the city nor this company. The letter is signed by an attorney Sigmund J. Solares and they claim to have purchased your property. My neighbor had one tax bill in 2001 for around $50 dollars, a bill they never recieved. The number listed on the letter is a recording 274-2189. The other attorney associated with this white collar crime is David W. Nance. The city claimed to no nothing about the company. The letter to property owners also list a fax which rarely works and an e-mail address which does not exist. It appears these carpet baggers are using the disaster to hopefully find properties and steal them from the families who own them and truly worked for them.The letter from Money Tree, Intercosmos, tells you nothing about information regarding the lien, nor does it tell the resident where to go to pay this off. The mistake my neigbor had was the fault of CITY HALL, in 2001!! The company has been reported to the Attorney General and the City, who knows what could happen. The finance department of the city WILL NOT CONTACT YOU BY PHONE AND WILL NOT TRY TO FIND YOU, YOU MAY LOOSE YOUR PROPERTY. If you stay in New Orleans or come back, which I highly do not recomend, go by the city finance department and get in writing your property taxes paid up to date for at least 10 years.Corruption will prevent the rebuilding of New Orleans. "

What else do we have? We have Daniel Walter Bugmann! Apparently Daniel Walter Bugmann of Zurich looks after the Schaffhausen branch of directNIC Ltd. I'm sure directNIC is very popular in Schaffhausen to require it having it's own branch. Or it could have something to do with a couple companies called Snow Turtles Ltd. and Flying Stingrays, Ltd. Both are VERY interesting and worth some extra investigation. Snow Turtles has an insane amount of capital for a nothing company and look for Invention.com from Flying Stingrays.

Also in looking back on my old posts, in particular the one on Domain Magic, LLC, I found that I forgot to mention an important detail... So to recap just the facts, we have a company named Domain Magic, LLC. The company was started by a Michael Barnett in Florida. Sigmund Solares has a friend since childhood named Michael Barnett... aka Buff, Ikilled007, Interdictor, Chatroomromeo, etc. After my intial post, Michael Barnett emailed me claiming his innocence. He said I was wrong - It wasn't him and that he hadn't worked with any of the Producers since 2003. What I forgot to mention was that I have the details on a court case - Chicago Architecture Foundation v. Domain Magic, LLC - where Domain Magic, LLC was represented by David A. Vinterella. Yes that David A. Vinterella... The in-house counsel of Intercosmos Media.

Also in the news is this:

"Local Technology Company Awards Members of The University of Tampa Graduating

Class of 2009 for Business Leadership

John H. Sykes College of Business Students Gain Key Business Skills During

Semester Long Competition

TAMPA, Fla., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- The Producers, Inc., a technology company

located in Tampa, today rewarded members of The University of Tampa'sJohn H.

Sykes College of Business graduating class for their efforts on proposing

successful business plans for the domain name "Event.com." Two teams

consisting of nine students won first and second place and learned important

business lessons during a business management case competition developed by

Dr. Jody Tompson through The Naimoli Institute for Business Strategy.

The contest began in January 2009 with 33 teams consisting of 150 senior

students participating in the capstone course. The graduating seniors were

asked to create a business idea using the domain name "Event.com." No

parameters were placed on the students. The competition culminated with the

four surviving teams competing for the top prize of a cash award. Faculty,

students, friends, as well as the four-judge panel consisting of Michael

Gardner, Sigmund Solares, Donny Simonton and Butch Decossas -- all executives

of The Producers, Inc. -- attended the finale and listened as each team

presented their Event.com business proposal. Despite the fact that all four

presentations were exceptional, only one could earn the top prize. Seniors

Alex Amini-Rad, Eric Speeth, Mike Torrance, and Carlos Acedo won first place

for their business concept of developing Event.com into a local portal where

visitors could learn about local events, purchase tickets to upcoming shows

and provide maps to various hotspots. The winnings team's motto for Event.com

-- Life Lived Eventfully -- also resonated with the judges.

"Supporting local university business programs is important for our company,"

said Michael Gardner. "We were honored to be part of The University of Tampa's

case study competition and view the initiative as a great mechanism to prepare

graduating business students for life after college. We congratulate the

winning team members for their hard work and all of the students who

participated."

Second place was won by Kyle Burdine, Lydia Watling, Nathan Taubenberger,

Raine Roberts and Maura Kafel for their business idea -- Get In The Loop:

Event.com.

"The case study competition provides students with the opportunity to learn

practical business skills and utilize them in a real business environment,"

stated Dr. Dean A. Koutroumanis, Assistant Professor of Management, John H.

Sykes College of Business. "The lessons learned go beyond the competition and

will enable the students to be even more prepared for their careers post

graduation."

Verizon Sues Sigmund Solares, Michael Gardner, et al.

Verizon sues the gang for cybersquatting. What a shock!

http://domainincite.com/tag/sigmund-solares/

I have an old update (really old) to post that I've misplaced but I'll get it here soon. It contains info on Keypath, LLC, Michael and Katies first child, Sigmund Solares Money Tree Loans business, Daniel Walter Bugmann and more.

I'll also write a ton on the Verizon case too...

Spring Pool Party

In the Tampa area this weekend? Head on over to Sig's place for an easter party... Email me (thoseproducers AT gmail) for directions.

Money can silence people

Pay someone enough money and they won't talk about what they aren't supposed to talk about...

Just ask Butch and Ezra.

Why do you think Butch Decossas became an official Producer? Why is Ezra James (Ezra Hodge) the editor of Modern Domainer? To shut them up of course.


I've gotten a few emails saying that some of the links in my last post are down. I guess the Producers asked Chris to take down the offending evidence. I haven't checked the links yet but I'll do that tonight. Until then, I'm sure Google has cached copies of the Kenyatech logo and the other good stuff. Google image search "site:mcfreeman.com" and regular search "site:mcfreeman.com".

Any comments from The Producers Inc yet?? The silence confirms the guilt.

The Producers Inc = Kenyatech

More proof for those still not convinced...

First, just for clarification, The Producers Inc is:
Donny Simonton
Michael Gardner
Sigmund Solares
Noah Lieske
Butch Decosas

and they own:

Intercosmos Media
Parked.com
DirectNic
Modern Domainer
Domain Contender
Alternative Identity
Zipa
Vexes Media
etc., etc.

Right?

OK, so they also ran Kenyatech. (and Belize Domain WHOIS Service Lt. and a few other scams, it just keeps going)

Can I prove it? Yes. You see I have Dell Inc v. Sigmund J Solares; Intercosmos Media Group, Inc d/b/a Directnic.com; Domain Contender LLC; Alternative Identity, Inc f/k/a NOLDC, Inc; and Zipa LLC. But Sig and Company settled out of court for over 3 million you say? And The Producers Inc have never admitted to it. So how do you know, you ask? Well, I have a few more nuggets of information and I'd like to share one more of them with you today.

Michael "Chris" Freeman.

Chris worked as a graphic designer for The Producers Inc (Intercosmos before) from 1999 until late 2008. Don't believe me? Check his resume here: http://www.mcfreeman.com/download/Michael_Freeman_Resume.pdf
and his letter of recommendation from Donny here: http://www.mcfreeman.com/download/Michael_Freeman-Letter_of_Rec.pdf

Now Chris was one of the designers that worked on the Kenyatech website and graphics. See: http://www.mcfreeman.com/img/portfolio/id/logo/kenyatech.jpg .

It gets better... some of the Kenyatech files from his old Intercosmos days: http://web.archive.org/web/20041217162927/http://yonderboy.intercosmos.net/projects/kenyatech/site/domains.html
http://web.archive.org/web/20041217161608/http://yonderboy.intercosmos.net/projects/kenyatech/site/about.html
http://web.archive.org/web/20041217073608/http://yonderboy.intercosmos.net/projects/kenyatech/site/index.html

The rest of his old stuff contain a few more gems... http://web.archive.org/web/*sr_6451nr_30/http://yonderboy.intercosmos.net/*


So now Donny, Sig and the rest. Still innocent? Really?

Anyone still dealing with these guys? Don't buy domain names from Directnic. Don't host your sites at Zipa. Don't park your domain names at parked.com. Seriously.

Don't worry, I have lots more to come!

Domainer Mardi Gras

So I caught Hornets/Magic game on Wednesday. Thursday, I checked out Domainer Mardi Gras. Crawfish isn't my thing so Thursday night was a bust but I did get a chance to check out 838 Camp St...

Dear Kayle Powers (and Mike, Sig, Noah, etc.)

I'd like to apply for the position of CTO/CIO. I agree that getting rid of the unstable current CTO, Donny Simonton and the never-there current CIO, Don Moore is brilliance. That is your plan, correct? I fit your requirements to a "T" and I already understand your businesses. I can write code better than Moore and I can think up ways to scam domainers than Simonton. I'm the perfect fit. By the way Kayle, cool last name. I know a guy with the same last name (probably related) and he's never bored of the Austin Powers jokes we crack about him. At least I think he doesn't mind. Anyway, as a member of the Executive Team, I'd require a lovely beach-front 4 bedroom home near Georgetown, Grand Cayman as I know you guys are moving a bunch of the business that way. I'd also need full access to Sigmunds pool in Tampa (with bikini clad-women as usual), Michaels boat in Belleair Beach and a new company car. The usual 1-2% is fine.

I'll humbly accept the offer. Email me with the details. Thanks

FTC Cracks down on Illegal “X-rated” Spam

From: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/07/alrsweep.shtm

In a crackdown on operations that illegally expose unwitting consumers to
graphic sexual content, the Federal Trade Commission has charged seven companies
with violating federal laws requiring warning labels on e-mail that contains
sexually-explicit content. U.S. District Court suits filed against three
operations seek civil penalties and a permanent bar on the illegal marketing.
Settlements with four other operations have imposed $1.159 million in civil
penalties. The settlements bar the illegal marketing practices in the future and
require that the defendants monitor their affiliates to ensure they are not
violating the law.

The settlements bar future violations of the CAN-SPAM Act and the Adult Labeling Rule. They also require that the defendants closely monitor the practices of their affiliate marketers to insure that they are not violating the law. ... Pure Marketing Solutions, LLC, a Florida company, and Internet Matrix Technology, a corporation based in Louisiana, will together pay $50,000. The settlements contain record-keeping provisions to allow the FTC to monitor the defendants’ compliance with the orders.

The complaint: http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/0523045/050720comp0523045.pdf

The stipulated judgement: http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/0523045/050720stip0523045.pdf

This is the PureCash.com death-blow.

A big link to SPAM

From http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pr/2007/June/07_crm_453.html

The jury convicted, Jeffrey A. Kilbride, 41, of Venice, Calif., and James
R. Schaffer, 41, of Paradise Valley, Ariz., on eight counts arising out of the
international pornographic spamming business they organized and ran in 2004. The
trial, which began on June 5, 2007, was the first to include charges under the
Controlling the Assault of Non-solicited Pornography and Marketing (CAN-SPAM)
Act of 2003. The law created by the CAN-SPAM Act was designed to crack down on
the transmission of pornography in commercial bulk unsolicited electronic mail
messages.

And from http://www.informationweek.com/news/management/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=202402908

Jeffrey A. Kilbride, 41, of Venice, Calif., and James R. Schaffer, 41, of
Paradise Valley, Ariz., had been sentenced to 72 months and 63 months in prison,
respectively, for running an international pornographic spam ring that took in
more than $1 million.

Kilbride and Schaffer were fined $100,000, ordered to pay $77,500 to AOL,
and will forfeit more than $1.1 million in illegal proceeds from their spam
operation.

So, where's the connection? Well, let's have a look at a little company called "Modern Internet Ventures, LLC" based in Louisiana. It was created in 2002 and it's still active according to the corporations database. It's members are Jeff Kilbride, Jim Schaffer (listed as JLM Media which connects to Jim ofcourse) and Michael Gardner. And the Registered agent is Sigmund J Solares.

Connection to convicted spammers? Check. That is what you are getting if you deal with Intercosmos, Directnic, Parked.com, The Producers, Modern Domainer, etc....

Dell Inc. v. Sigmund J. Solares

http://www.newmanlaw.com/download/directnic.com/

Dell Inc v. Sigmund J Solares; Intercosmos Media Group, Inc d/b/a Directnic.com; Domain Contender LLC; Alternative Identity, Inc f/k/a NOLDC, Inc; and Zipa LLC

Yes a case against Sig and some of his companies for cybersquatting.

I truely LOVE this part:
"Defendants have attempted to conceal their involvement in this scheme by acting under fictitious names, including "Kenyatech," Kentech, Inc.," "Kentech Co Ltd.," "Spiral Matrix," "Titan Net," "Orion Web," "Domain Master," "Helios Lab," "Panda Ventures," and "Domain Purchase" (collectively, "Kenyatech Monikers")."

It's a long read through it all but it's worth it. I'll even give away the ending. Sig gets his ass handed to him and settles with Dell. I've heard it was a multimillion dollar settlement.

How long until something like this happens again with Belize Domain Whois Service?

For all those who have emailed me wondering who Belize Domain Whois Service Lt is, these are the guys.

Domainer Mardi Gras

Modern Domainer cordially invites you to the 2009 Domainer Mardi Gras at the Westin Canal Place, in New Orleans Louisiana!

Taking place February 19th through February 21, 2009, Domainer Mardi Gras is a one of kind event that the industry will remember for years to come. Domainer Mardi Gras will be held the weekend before the actual Mardi Gras “Fat Tuesday”. Plenty of city-wide carnival action will be available during the conference, and revelers may want to plan to stick around for a couple of days after the conference to enjoy Fat Tuesday.

Domainer Mardi Gras is opened to all domainers and internet domain name related professionals. Domainer Mardi Gras will blend conference sessions on the hottest industry issues with the flavor and uniqueness of New Orleans’ carnival.

So I've been chatting with Donny Simonton on Facebook for a while before my account was suspended (hmm, I wonder why??) Anyway we were talking about how I have all these links that connect The Producers to Kenyatech and Belize Whois Domain Services. He pleads his innocence as expected and offers another explanation and then claims that I'll never be able to prove it in court. Can I prove it in court? No. But I know the truth. Anyway, then he invites me to Domainer Mardi Gras where he has graciously offered to introduce me to the cyber-squatting owner(s) of Kenyatech. So Donny, are you paying for my entrance to this event as well?

Modern Domainer LLC is owned by:

SOLARS, SIGMUND J 5505 WEST GRAY STREET TAMPA FL 33609 US

AND

THE PRODUCERS, INC. 5505 WEST GRAY STREET TAMPA FL 33609 US

Parked.com will be there. Directnic will be there. I'd be guessing that Donny, Sig, Michael and more than a few of their minions would be attending. So if my invitation is revoked but you happen to go, please ask Sigmund, Donny and/or Michael about Kenyatech and Belize Whois Domain Service. Ask them about Dell Inc v. Intercosmos Media Group and why they settled. Tell them "Those Producers" sent you. They will love it!

Rate Directnic online...
