CEO of Valour Inc. - Russell Starr, Orchestrates Scheme with Network Marketers Costing Shareholders More than $150M in Losses

CEO, Russell Starr of Valour Inc. (DEFTF) may be implicated by authorities as the chief architect of an international fraud scheme tied to an Arizona-based network marketing group, costing investors upwards in $150 million in losses to date.

Based on confirmed evidence reviewed and vetted, Starr self-anointed himself as Executive Chairman and CEO of Valour (formerly known as DeFi Technologies, Inc.) and remains the single largest shareholder of Valour.  Starr had direct ties to insiders, including founder Wouter Witvoet and Dianna Biggs, and forced his way into power to protect his own shares. But his aspirations did not end there.

Starr seized the helm to further exploit and conspire with a group of highly unsophisticated network marketing promoters, based in Arizona, California, and Nevada, to illegally promote the artificial buying of Valour stock. And indeed, they did. This group of marketers not only lacked investment acumen, holding no FINRA credentials as licensed broker dealers, but used their vast network of vitamin and soap salesmen to artificially inflate shares of Valour using inside information provided by Starr and other executives.



Ripoffreport Report Image

Joshua Denne of Scottdale Arizona, along with Brian Quinn in California, and Darryl Drake in Nevada, were paid bribes by Starr in excess of $10 million dollars to effectuate the buying of more than $30 million in stock.

These illegally paid commissions violate numerous securities laws in both Canada and the United States and amounted to roughly 45% in illicit commissions used by the promoters to live lavishly; buying a fleet of Rolls Royce’s, private jets, jewelry, and multi-million-dollar homes, while investors lost nearly 80% of their money to date.

Worser still, victimized investors were largely friends and family of the promoters, and were unaware that Denne, Quinn, and Drake were being paid millions as their shares fast tumbled within months when the bottom fell out.Tensions began to flare when investors learned of Starr’s plans to jump from Valour’s sinking ship and safely land as CEO of a successor company formed to take over the assets of its failed predecessor, SDK Meta LLC.

SDK, a Nevada-based private company co-owned by Denne. SDK Meta was one of many shill investments used by Starr and Valour as a smokescreen to cover up illegal bribes to Denne, Quinn and Drake. Starr admits as much in evidence obtained.

Communications reviewed indicate Starr intended to liquidate his declining Valour shares after taking on his new post, leaving investors in the dust with losses of over $150 million. Starr intended to hold equity in his Turks and Caicos offshore entity, Empower Insurance Corporation to avoid scrutiny and evade taxes.

Accounts of the timeline and related documents indicate that the Scheme began approximately in June of 2021, when Denne, Drake, and many others, opened brokerage accounts at Haywood Securities with Jason Knoblauch, where they collectively liquidated over 5 million shares believed to average out at roughly $2 dollars per share.

In fact, it appears nearly all the network marketing investors, including Drakes own father parked their shares at Haywood.  Valour Inc., then DeFi Technologies, Inc., had historically traded below 10 cents for more than 5 years, and rocketed to over $4 dollars once Denne, Quinn and Drake came aboard to promote the stock to their network.

But a ceiling was hit, and the pyramid began to crumble, leaving Starr in a desperate situation to hold a wall against short positions and selloffs. Starr in panic mode, continued to directly solicit more buying from the promoters, offering more liquid shares and RSU’s to Drake and others to keep pushing the shares up.

Starr used numerous tactics to encourage more illegal buying, including false inside tips of institutional investors coming on, citing Lo Presti and others, with promises of a NASDAQ uplist and the stock going to $10 Dollars.

As the stock began to slide from its inflated peak, investors and the promoters became hostile, threatening to sell off and expose Starr. In a heated text message exchange between Quinn and Starr, threats of exposure against each other are volleyed back and forth in argument over the demand for more payoffs to avoid a sell off that would crush the share value.

Similar exchanges occurred with Drake, where Drake left numerous legal voice recordings indicating “I am the reason the price went up and I am the reason it will go down.”  Drake was also unsatisfied with the millions paid to him and demanded more from Starr to keep the floodgates open.

Starr rebuked Drake’s demands, which resulted in Drake sending word to his network to unload the depressed shares at an 80% loss. Despite Starr’s continued false claims and promises of price protection at $1-dollar, Valour shares have fallen back as low as 27 cents.

A full exposé is anticipated by CBC Toronto investigative reporting this month, along with potential upcoming probes by the Ontario Securities Commission, SEC, FINRA, and US Attorneys’ office. Denne was convicted of insurance fraud in 2014, which Starr was well aware of while in attendance at Denne’s home in March for a swanky fundraiser for Arizona Attorney General candidate Rodney Glassman.

THE ADAM ZUCKERMAN SHOW: SEASON 20: EPISODE 27: "ADAM TAKES THE BAIT" FINAL EPISODE

#3UPDATE EX-employee responds

Thu, September 29, 2022

Dear Reader, like all Reality Shows, this one has run out of material and is being CANCELLED as of this Final Episode.  The main Character [ADAM STUART ZUCKERMAN] has gone off script one too many times and quite honestly, there is nothing more we can share with you that you have not already figured out on your own.   The ratings were in the single digits from the start due to Mr. Zuckermans shallow, one-dimensional character, despite creating fake accounts and posting his usual lies and threats in an attempt to garner higher ratings. 

Most recently, posting as a ‘concerned citizen’ from Canada who has been ‘following’ these threads, anyone with even a modicum of intelligence can see through his lies and can figure out he is attempting to further his own [Acting] career.  

By now you have also noticed we have been baiting Mr. Zuckerman to have him reveal his true nature.  And man, he did not disappoint, did he?  That nature of course; being a criminal convicted of multiple felonies including fraud, extortion, kidnapping and drunk driving.

You can see by his most recent [fake] account posting, it is in fact, Adam Stuart Zuckerman, most likely engaged in one of his drug and alcohol fuel rants.  You will note the uneducated grammar, insults, and misspellings, and that the tone of the supposed user transitions from the anonymous Author The – (), to the usual Adam Zuckerman rantings, characterized by the ALL-CAPS threats and rantings.

We would like to clear a few things up here as we close out this FINAL EPISODE:

  1. We are not any of the people named herein by Mr. Zuckerman
  2. That fact seems to be lost on Mr. Zuckerman
  3. We were forced to post anonymously due to Mr. Zuckermans history of violence
  4. We are however, well acquainted with Mr. Zuckermans modus operandi of inserting himself into the lives of good people and their companies, then trying to extort money from them
  5. Season 20 represents Mr. Zuckermans almost year long attempts to extort money from people and companies he has no affiliation with

In closing Dear Reader, we would like to thank all 6 of you who have been watching the ‘Show”.   Stay tuned for the obvious Spin Off:  I’M NOT ADAM ZUCKERMAN, BUT I HAVE STUFF TO POST, coming to a URL near you!

Good Bye!

The Adam Zuckerman Show: Season 20: Episode 25

#5UPDATE EX-employee responds

Wed, September 28, 2022

Dear Readers, if you have not figured it out yet, let us welcome you to The Adam Zuckerman Show, now in its 20th Season of trying [unsuccessfully] to extort money from innocent people, while pretending to be an attorney, using kidnapping, violence, and threats to get his way.

Like any good Reality Show it is important to keep the viewers, or in this case, the Readers, up to date on the history of the show.  Therefore, we continue to remind Readers of Mr. Zuckerman’s violent history over the past 20 Seasons, including multiple prison terms for his escapades, along with his extremely racist and anti-gay emails.

As with previous Seasons, Adam pretends to be an Attorney and boasts about meetings with various Law Firms, coupled with threats to ‘Bury', ‘Target’, and ‘Expose’ various people unless they pay him to stop.   

Now so far this Season, Mr. Zuckerman claims to have met with 6 different Law Firms and in each case, they [The Law Firms] are ready to move forward with charges, none of which have come to fruition because Mr. Zuckerman is in fact, NOT an Attorney, and no reputable Law Firm will have anything to do with him.  His threats are empty, as are his claims, and they are simply his usual extortion tactics.

We also need to post a couple of correction to the last Episode: 

  1. In the last Episode, Mr. Zuckerman claims to have nothing to do with shorting the stock. However, there are numerous emails and even voice recordings where he brags about ‘Shorting the stock to the floor’ if he is not paid off.
  2. Not all of Mr. Zuckermans convictions are 20 years old as he claims.

By now dear Readers you have probably figured out The Adam Zuckerman Show is a Comedy/ Drama

So, stay tuned for the next Episode where Adam threatens to build websites to post more lies.

 I’ve been following this thread and from an outside perspective and as a former investor I’m DeFi - where I read all about what’s going in Yahoo - I can tell you I don’t believe whomever is posting as the advocate for Valour. I’m fact I have to assume it’s Mr. Starr.

Who else would have a personal stake in replying yo all this stuff and accusations. I have been trading securities and digi for 7 years. I watched Defi surge in concert with the timeline this fraud and these payoffs supposedly happened. And I have watched the stock tank. I dumped it at 1.24 and could see that there were so irregular patterns.

It was not following the Bitcoin tumble as indicted by whet seems to be Starr or his paid advocates here. I will say that whomever is posting against this Zuckerman - they are getting to be very redundant. I personally want to see what is being filed and I know a lot of people want to as well. The stock hit 17 today and is trending down week by week while Bitcoin stays around 19k.

So I’m not buying this plummet as tied to the market but other forces. I have to say that despite all the back and forth Zuckerman’s story makes more sense. The Valour side just seems as if it is caught in a loop and I have to admit they look guilty. I don’t buy this violence stuff for not disclosing who you are.

If you are lawyers for Valour you would not be here. If you’re paid by Starr what more do you have to say? If it’s Starr, explain all the texts posted and tell us that you didn’t really pay these people to pump the stock. The timeline fits sadly and I want to see what more comes out.

I bought in at 2.23 and got out with a loss. I’d there is really foul play here I would want in on a class action and demand justice. I sure hope not. But it seems to be getting hot here. In closing, whomever is posting for Valour, please don’t say I’m someone else.

Believe it or not google is picking up this thread and the more posts here the more exposure. Valour people should know that you’re being sucked in and your ego is creating more backlinks here. Ripoff report has a very high ranking and r more posts the more likely you’ll end up on the first page under search. But I want to hear more.

I want the Valour side yo directly deny these associations and under oath state they did not pay these guys off and there is no evidence. If claims get filed the truth will come out. Let’s see what happens. But enough with the saber rattling. Valour - tell us under oath that these accusations are not true and you didn’t pay unlicensed brokers or salesman to pump up your stock.

If you did they will go to jail as well. That’s securities fraud in both sides. And per the original post. Who is this Denne guy? I found him in the web and he is a MLM guy. Was he paid to promote the stock or not? Is he a felon? If both are true than it seems like Valour is really spinning yarn here.

ADAM STUAT ZUCKERMAN Still Looking For Attention

#7UPDATE EX-employee responds

Wed, September 28, 2022

Once again, we are not one of the people Mr. Zuckerman is targeting in his latest attempt from which to extort money.  We are simply well acquainted with Mr. Zuckermans nefarious career, and while he continues to stress that his criminal exploits are 20 years old.

That does not negate the fact that he participated in, and was convicted of multiple felony charges including Kidnapping, Fraud, Extortion, DUI's, which were not all from 20 years ago.  Thus, we are forced to respond privately due to Mr. Zuckermans history of violence, racism and anti-gay remarks, including threats against family members.

As we previously noted; Adam has made a career out of extortion, fraud, kidnapping and has a history violent behavior when he does not get his way and feels people owe him money. This is most evident in one of his recent posts where he challenged specific individuals to a fight after being presented with the facts and called out for using fake accounts to further his agenda.

As the architect of the original post, Mr. Zuckerman denied being its author and only when presented with the facts, did he come clean, boasting he never “hides,” and continued his smear campaign under his real name, from his work email, sending viciously racist and anti-gay threats.

Readers will note that Mr. Zuckerman was forced to take down is [fake] company website [Rival Capital Group] and email account to distance himself from his remarks. He was also forced to remove his LinkedIn profile at what we can only believe was requested by his so called ‘partners’ he listed on his [fake] company website.

In the past 6 months, Adam Stuart Zuckerman has sent well over 100 emails and text messages, using up to 6 separate fake email accounts, and 3 separate phone numbers, threatening to ‘Take you down’ or ‘Put you in jail’ if specific people did not reach out to him to discuss payment. This is the very definition of extortion.

During this time, Adam Stuart Zuckerman has named not only specific individuals in his emails and text messages, but also targeted wives, friends, and even children with his threats, resulting in police reports being files in multiple cities and states.

Readers will note that in his emails and text messages, Mr. Zuckerman has admitted to shorting stock to ‘Drive it to Zero,’ should he not get paid.………What is interesting to note here is Mr. Zuckerman has performed no services whatsoever for any of the people or companies he is targeting.

Mr. Zuckerman simply seeks out past relationships and inserts himself into dialog, purporting himself as an attorney with a long history of litigation, and when asked to disengage, he begins his smear campaign.

A quick Google search of Mr. Zuckermans Criminal history will reveal multiple convictions and prison time for Fraud, Extortion, Kidnapping, Assault with a Deadly Weapon and DUI’s including ‘Evading Police.’

In closing, we leave it to you, dear Reader, to judge for yourself.

RUSSELL STARR NOW PRETENDS TO BE HIS LAWYERS

#8REBUTTAL Individual responds

Tue, September 27, 2022

Russell Starr now pretends he is his lawyers soon to be named at https://www.faegredrinker.com/en I won’t publish their names but simply look at Starr’s post of Exhbits and see that Starr actually posted his own emails about them. Russell is obviously not very smart. What a surprise.

But I’m back to help with the truth and to again set the record straight.

1. HAVE YOU NOTICED THE DATES ON THE STUFF STARR KEEPS POSTING ABOUT ME FOR DEFLECTION? - 20 years ago.

2.. STARR IS BORING US ALL AND IS A BROKEN RECORD. HE KEEPS POSTING THE SAME MATERIAL. GET SOMETHING NEW RUSSELL.

3. I NEVER SHORTED ANY STOCK. IT’S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. THE VOLUME IS PATHETIC AND NOBODY IS HOLDING LONG WHICH IS WHY THE STOCK WILL HIT 15 CENTS TOMORROW.

4. THE REASON I WILL NOT POST ALL THE EVIDENCE HERE TODAY TO BURY STARR AND HIS BRIGADE OF ILLEGAL SOAP AMD VITAMIN BROKERS WHO COST INNOCENT INVESTORS MORE THAN 30 MILLION AND THE PUBLIC OVER 100 MILLION IS BECAUSE - -

    A) we are putting up four public information websites under the first amendment like rip-off report - which as you can see Starr can’t take down. Believe me he tried with the owner here. -

    B) we spent over four hours today with lawyers that I can’t today disclose what they are preparing for whom. Suffice to say Russell Starr, Joshua Denne, Brian Quinn and Daryl Drake, along with David (not Hartung) are going to have a very rough end of the year legally. ONCE EVERYTHING IS FILED I WILL POST IT ALL ON OUR WEBSITES SOON TO BE ANNOUNCED. SIMPLY - WE CAN’T LET THIS EVIDENCE OUT UNTIL IT’S IN THE PROPER HANDS. YOU’’LL FIND OUT WHY. RUSSELL STARR KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE AND SO DO ALL THE OTHERS. THEIR EMAILS, 500 TEXT MESSAGES, BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS, LEGAL VOICEMAILS SENT TO US.

    C) ASK RUSSELL TO POST ALL HIS TEXTS WITH BRIAN QUINN FROM MEXICO. HOW BOUT WHAT HE CALLS DARYL DRAKE AND DENNE. ASK RUSSELL ABOUT HIS OWN BROKER AND WHAT HE WANTED DENNE TO DO. EVER HERE OF AGENT DENNE LLC. HOW BOUT THE ACCOUNTS AT WELLS FARGO. HOW BOUT LO PRESTI AND NAGIAN (LOL). HOW BOUT MASTR$&n PARTNERS.

    D) HOW DOES A .15 STOCK GO ON NASDAQ - IT DOESN’T. Telling the truth and protecting investors is not extortion. It’s the right thing to do. I have not been paid one single share. In fact I refused Starr’s offer to pay me off. I am doing the right thing. And that can be heavily rewarding. Trust me. In so many ways.

Stay tuned for what comes out later this week. It will be earth shattering. Justice for all. And God bless. $1000 BUCKS SAYS RUSSELL STARR POSTS THE SAME 20 YEAR OLD NONSENSE AGAIN. FOR THR 10th TIME. GET A GRIP RUSSELL. FIND NEW MATERIAL. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY OURS IS COMING. AND HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.

PICS OF STARR (WITH OTHERS) PRIVATE EMAILS, TEXTS, and VOICE RECORDINGS WILL BE POSTED. STARR KEEPS USING 20 YEAR OLD NONSENSE ABOUT ME TO COVER UP HIS CURRENT ANTICS. - I’M NOT THE CEO OF OF A PUMP AND DUMP - STARR IS.

- I’M NOT UNDER INDICTMENT - BUT STARR SOON WILL BE. - I’M NOT HIDING HERE - STARR IS. - I’M NOT DEFLECTING, STARR IS. - THE WHOLE STORY IS COMING. I HAVE JUST NEEDED TO WAIT AND EVERYONE WILL FIND OUT WHY. STARR WILL BE EXPOSED AND SOON HIS ARREST AND FIRING WILL BE TODAY’S HEADLINES NOT MY 20 YEAR OLD HISTORY.

- BUT I’LL SAY THIS - I KNOW HOW TO WALK A PRISON YARD - LET’S SEE IF LITTLE RUSSELL DOES. STAND BY….THE MORE STARR POSTS HERE THR MORE GOOGLE WEB CRAWLERS PROLIFERATE AND FLOOD THE WEB. THAT’S WHY TODAY VALOUR WILL CLOSE AT MAYBE 15 CENTS AS I HAVE PREDICTED.

ADMA STUART ZUCKERMAN Continues His Smear Campaign Under Another Alias

Readers will note that Adam Stuart Zuckerman has once again posted from a fake account, to further his agenda of extortion.

Tommy Fransson has a Story to tell....Ex CEO JUMPS SHIP FROM DEFI - TRUTH ABOUT STARR REVEALED

#12UPDATE Employee

Sat, September 24, 2022

TOMMY FRANSSON JUMPS SHIP FROM DEFI - EVERYTHING IS COMING OUT AS THE STOCK PLUMMETS.  SEE COMMENTS ATTACHED FROM THE BOARDS. JAMES HAS A. LOT TO SAY. 

STARR ALREADY HEDGING WITH BOGUS TRILLIUM MINES. EMAILS ARE GOING OUT TO ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS AND NEW INVESTORS AS STARR FAILS TO DISCLOSE HIS FRAUD IN A PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING.

SEE ATTACHED FROM YAHOO……

“DonaldJ24 days ago

Now that Valour CEO Tommy Fransson has left that could be a fatal blow.

Only $5mm in cash left on the books. Blowing through $4mm in cash per quarter and will be forced to issue shares to raise money in the very near future.

Many long-term shareholders will be jumping ship now that Tommy has left because there is zero confidence in Russell’s ability to execute.

I wouldn’t be surprised if share prices goes below .20 in next 2 weeks and potentially worse if they announce dilution.

Problem is, at these prices they are going to have to issue a helluva lot of shares to raise any meaningful amount of money.

If they want to raise $10mm they’d have to issue 50mm shares or 25% dilution.”

 

james11 months ago

Man oh man am I ever up on this one, I’ve been holding (HODL) DEFI TECH since it’s bottom in July, just want to shout out to all the people that believe in DeFi and you know what?, even Teeka Tiwari whom I don’t subscribe, but I listened to what he had to say about the Defi space and Defi Technologies and watch his interviews with Executive Chairman Russell Star on YouTube. I’m smart enough to know that these YouTube videos are scripted and strictly for informational purposes. It was through my DD in crypto that I started peaked my interest in DeFi. As I dug deeper and learned more about decentralized finance “DeFi”. I soon started looking for ways to invest into the DeFi space and decided to take a closer look at publicly traded companies that were investing or involved in this space.

Thankfully I found about DeFi Technologies and I think it was through an i interview with Kevin O’Leary that the name popped up, I searched it and there it was!, this was a couple months before the WonderFi IPO and before WNDR.NE also became another one of my DEFI related holdings. As it is now I hold a lot of conviction towards these two companies because of their DeFi pipeline and how they plan to initiate and utilize these digital assets.

ADAM ZUCKERMAN CHALLENGES DAVID HARTUNG, RUSSELL STARR AND DARYL DRAKE

#14Author of original report

Tue, September 20, 2022

STATEMENT BY ADAM ZUCKERMAN - WHO DOES NOT HIDE

David Hartung or Daryl "The Snake" Drake are likely the two bozos who continues to BORE everyone to death by posting info about me from - WAIT - 21 YEARS AGO - AND - 15 YEARS AGO. 

Yes, that's correct ladies and gentlemen - these noob bozos have nothing current to say but use (as typical of this level of miscreant) information from two decades ago to cover up the current mess they are in NOW.

Yes, I was charged with numerous felonies as part of a situation in my 30k square foot building in 2001, where I had my safe robbed, and even little Joshy Denne worked in my building back then selling his first box of vitamins and prepaid legal. Daryl Drake was still working a McDonalds then – where he has not come much further. 

These brainless one-celled amoebas want to relish in ancient history related to me having the balls to teach someone a lesson 20 years ago after breaking into my 30k square foot building. These panderers hide behind pseudonyms like little girls instead of manning up and posting their real names. What they leave out is that I WAS CHARGED with those felonies but NEVER CONVICTED. NOT CONVICTED OF ONE SINGLE CHARGE. In fact, I walked, and didn’t even have to do community service.

Now, as to my federal case in 2004 – The FBI went after me (pre banking crisis) for nonsense for 7 years. I fought them with the most powerful lawyer in the country, John Hueston who took Enron down. I got ZERO RESTITUTION, and if I were charged after 2008, I would have gone to trial, where all 12 jurors would laugh at the banks crying foul. See Portraits of Power below with John on the cover of Forbes. If you read up, I remained free for 7 years, and everyone tried to get my bail revoked but failed. I was and remain untouchable. I kept enjoying my life after the feds came knocking because I built a company worth over $100M in one year, Brickbanc Capital. Unlike these soap and vitamin salesmen, I don’t publish silly videos that are titled “LOOK AT MY MANSION” – Daryl Drake. This bozo pasted in a white Rolls in front of his missing Lamborghini he subleased because he could not pay for, and now can’t get it back – LOL. I have the texts of him crying about it. Better yet – this guy thinks a tract home in depressed Las Vegas is a mansion. Um – sorry Drake – you don’t live in a mansion – you live in a cooky cutter tract home where you must ask permission to paint your house a color. You’re not Kanye West – you have billions of rubles not dollars. That must be why you begged me for a loan against your frozen DEFI stock– texts forthcoming.

But this is key – these guys are all going to prison. Why? Because they are going to get nailed for tax evasion and the illegal promotion of public securities while taking bribes without a securities license. You see, I have been to prison. In fact, I had a great time. I ran the stamp market (prison currency), the football book, worked out twice a day, and ate like a king. Let’s see how these little girls do inside – especially Daryl – who is going to cry like a baby. I posted a pic of me below on the prison yard. How do you like that “8-mile” beatdown Mr. Drake. Now get on stage and beat that.

Now Joshy Denne I can respect. That little kid did hard time and knew his way around a prison yard. That’s why he is not posting here. And I can tell it’s not Josh – Josh is intelligent and doesn’t babble incessantly like David Hartung and Drake like bobble heads.

This brings me to David “Hard- Tongue” Hartung as he is known in certain circles. I won’t go into details, but little David is about 70, has no job, was paid by me and did nothing, and then got fired and now he’s angry. Little David has issues with things you don’t want to talk about if you go prison. That’s all I will say. David is very insecure and is probably being paid by Russell Starr to bore everyone with my history 20 years ago. What is missing is that I have built over 40 companies, taken many public, and these little girls came to me to help them stay out of jail, and are all angry that they could not nurse off of me any longer related to this mess they created with DeFI, Valour, SDK Meta LLC and Russell Starr.

NOW – since none of them can use their real names, clearly, they are to be discredited. HERE I AM. Using MY NAME children. Come out of your caves and be men. Stop sending me cloaked emails.

HERE IS MY PUBLIC CHALLENGE: I am willing to go to any MMA training center with a cage and legally fight (ON VIDEO) David Hartung, Brian Quinn, and Daryl Drake, and publish it. I challenge all three of them. This is a legal challenge not a threat. It is sport. I dare any of them to accept my challenge. I want to legally fight all three of you at an MMA center and video tape it. Who wants to use their REAL NAME and accept. If you can’t – THAN SHUT UP!!! Or here is another challenge. I will do a taped video by Ripoff Report and challenge any of your jokers to any topic or subject for debate – math, science, investment banking, technology, even your own businesses. You dummies talk about crypto and you don’t even know a blockchain from a gold chain – LOL.  

In closing, fo now, once the cases and claims are filed next week, I will publish it all. Every picture, video, text message and email on sites such as: “A Starr is born…” “A Rising Starr, and “DeFi.me” The entire story, pictures of the cast of characters, and all the cases will be made public. Stay tuned. These guys do nothing but post pictures and videos of themselves standing in front of Rolls Royce’s with diamond watches. They are MULTILEVEL MARKETERS – get it – the guys that sell AMWAY and leave you with 20 boxes of soap in your garage. Ponzi schemers. Not one of them knows what a cap table is, a 506 offering, or how to even write an operating agreement. None of them have ever graduated college. They are all soap and vitamin salesman who (this time) thought running a pyramid scheme with public securities is the next scam. Well, I am here to tell you it’s not, it’s highly illegal, and it’s criminal, and I can’t wait to see all of you doing time. Once you are inside, let’s see how you talk.

Now – who wants to rumble?

DEFUNCT SDK META LLC SUES STARR AND VALOUR INC. / DEFI TECHNOLOGIES INC for $100M - STOCK CRASHES FRIDAY ON NEWS

#18Consumer Comment

Sat, September 17, 2022

Defunct Smokescreen Investment SDK Meta LLC  - $100 Million Class Action Against Valour and Starr - Starr Continues Fraud Rampage

- VALOUR STOCK CONTINUES CRASHED TO GROUND ON FRIDAY -

It appears that SDK Meta LLC, owned by Chris J. Snook, Richard Kopcho and Joshua Denne - tied to Brian Quinn and Michael Orr - threatens a class action for $100 million against DeFi/Valour Inc. 

Starr claims in his posts here that SDK and Valour somehow attempted to stop Adam Zuckerman from (I guess) helping them all to remedy their ongoing criminal activities and not go to jail. 

QUESTION: Starr claims that he is working with SDK. How is that true if Starr is being sued by SDK Meta LLC owners and investors for $100 million for fraud?

SDK Meta LLC is now defunct - is adminstratively dissolved and owes back taxes now.

Chris Snook changed his name on LinkedIn after he and the others stole millions and defrauded investors with SDK Meta LLC and their sale of fake decentralized phones and tokens.  Starr backed this scam and then screwed the very people he conspired with.

Starr illegally held 144 restrictions after the expiration period on the stock he gave SDK Meta LLC to cover up the bribes, which he admits in writing. So now fraudsters are suing fraudsters. 

So much more will be posted once the cases are publicly filed in the next week. We will post what we can here and a link to the new "Starr is Born" and "Rising Starr" websites coming online with full redundancy. The sites will have all the evidence and emails and exchanges between all of the parties. But it is critical that the actions be filed first. 

HOWEVER - SEE LETTER BELOW FROM CANANDIAN LAW FIRM SUING STARR AND HIS COMPANIES - DEFI TECHNOLOGIES INC. and VALOUR INC. 

IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THESE GUYS ARE FABRICATING EMAILS AND KEEP SENDING ALL OF US THREATS - VERY SIMILAR TO THE BRIAN QUINN THREADS. THEY ARE FABRICATING EMAILS FROM ADAM ZUCKERMAN. WE HAVE SEEN THE PROOF. 

ANYONE SMART WILL LEGALLY SHORT VALOUR INC. - THE STOCK PRICE IS AT 21 CENTS JUST AFTER THIS NEWS HAS COME OUT. IT WILL GO UNDER 10 CENTS - LEGALLY BORROW SHARES FROM ANYONE DUMB ENOUGH TO STAY LONG. 

CHART TOPPER: NOTICE HOW WHEN DENNE AND QUINN AND DRAKE CAME ON IN MID 2021 THE STOCK WAS IN THE TOILET. THEN IT WENT UP TO NEARLY 4 BUCKS AFTER THEY PUMPED IN $30 MILLION FROM UNSUSPECTING INVESTORS.

THAN IT TANKS TO NOTHING AGAIN AS SOON AS EVERYONE REALIZES STARR'S GAME - AND ADAM ZUCKERMAN EXPOSES THE TRUTH TO EVERYONE. SELL - SELL - SELL - IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY. THIS STOCK WILL BE DELISTED AND STARR AND OTHERS WILL FACE BOTH CIVIL AND CRIMINAL CHARGES.

Adam Zuckerman's lies, racist comments, and now homophobic remarks clearly show mental illness

#19UPDATE Employee ..inside information

Sat, September 17, 2022

It deeply saddens all of us that Mr. Zuckermans attacks are not only racist, but also include extremely homophobic comments.  This will be our last rebuttal since there is ample proof of his lies, racism, and mental illness.   He has made a career out of trying to extort money from innocent people, claiming to be an attorney. 

A simple google search:  Adam Zuckerman Convictions will outline a severe lack of morals, and show he is a danger to society.   One convition was for kidnapping involving the use of an automatic weapon.   Also convicted in an FBI leasing fraud, along with at least one DUI conviction from driving the wrong way on a public road and evading police.    We are concerned that Mr. Zuckerman is a deeply disturbed individual and a danger to society.  

Below are just a few of the emails he has sent from his company email [Rival Capitol Group], after claiming he was not John Dire, the person who began this slander campaign.

MORE MESSAGES FROM QUINN - CONFIRMS HE TOOK BRIBES

#20Consumer Comment

Fri, September 16, 2022

Brian Quinn, Drake and Starr, all appear to be on the same team now. They even fabricated emails using a rivalcapgroup@gmail address- posting supposed racist comments. Sadly they are not smart enough to use a VPN and use Gmail - IP address and Mac addresses trace right back to them.  Brian Quinn lives in an apartment in Newport Beach at the Villas of Fashion Island. 

We have (as investors) seen the complaints being filed against Starr, Quinn and others. They are all going to prison. What is posted here is nothing compared to over 300 text messages and 58 emails between these people committing securities fraud, tipping, and insider trading.

A full expose will be published this coming week on multiple websites. We are in the process of contacting all of Valour and Starr's partners and phony acquisitions that DeFi Technologies Inc. used as a smoke screen like SDK Meta LLC. 

Starr quickly changed DeFi Technologies Inc. to Valour in June as soon as these allegations came to light. What he did not change is the stock structure - so more investors now will suffer. More to come.

This is information as a one of the investors that was robbed by SDK Meta LLC and Valour. We did not know how deep this scam went with Russell Starr and that all these people were paid millions illegally. We invested in fake tokens and phone technology that did not exist. Russell Starr claims that SDK and Valour stopped Mr. Zuckerman. This is a patent lie. We spoke to Mr. Zuckerman and he tried to help us after being defraud out of millions. 

None of the investors had any idea how deep down the rabbit hole this went. We had no idea that Denne and Quinn and the rest were running around in millions of dollars in cars and jets and living the life from money stolen from us. 

Valour stock has tanked from $4 dollars and is now at its lowest today at 21 cents, and everyone should legally selloff or otherwise. This stock is not a long play and the marrket knows it. Plan to see Valour delisted or worse when the authorities come in.

Below are email responses from the author of this report, named John Dire, whom is actually Adam Zuckerman, who claims to be the "Wolf" at a company called Rival Capitol Group, which is nothing more than a landing page.  This exchange shows the true charachter and blatant racism of the individual claiming to be John Dire.

REBUTTAL BY ADAM ZUCKERMAN:

My name is Adam Zuckerman, and I have just been alerted as to this post on Rippoff Report, related to Valour, Inc., and Russell James Starr, its Executive Chariman and CEO. I have read the reports listed and the accusations that I have posted these reports under a psudonym or alias. I have not. As such, here is my post as Adam Zuckerman, and I dare Mr. Russell James Starr to reveal himself and refute the truth. 

Russell Starr chose to (as typical) use me as a red hering to distract away from his fraudulemt scams and illegal practices that have violated the public and insdide investors to the tune of over $100 million. Joshua Denne and Daryl Drake are co-conspirators and the SEC and US attorney's office are currently investigating them for numerous civil and criminal charges.

Valour stock is not listed on NASDAQ and I will post all of the evidence against Starr once the SEC and Ontario Securites Commision has received our complaints from a highly reputable DC firm that is filing suits aginst Starr and Valour in a whistleblower claim and other class actions. Russell Starr is a scam artist and two bit stock maniupluator and everything he has published is false and fraudluenet.

He uses his offshore entity, domiciled in the Turks and Caicos, "Empower Insurance Corporation" to trade behind the scenes, short his own stock (which he boasts in text messages), make illicit deals that his company and other exectuives do not know about. 

Below is a sample of what is being sent to the SEC. I cannot yet publish the evidence against Starr, where we need to file our complaint with the SEC and serve a civil class action on Starr and Valour. Russell Starr is a criminal and all his antics and securities breaches will be published. Here is a snapshot of what is going to authorities, and I will publish the full exhibit list in days.

SEC AND CIVIL/CRIMINAL FILINGS:

THIS IS A CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT THAT IS INTENDED ONLY FOR OFFICIALS OF THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (“SEC”) AND U.S. GOVERNMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO INVESTIGATE THE ANONYMOUS AND CONFIDENTIAL WHISTLEBLOWER ALLEGATIONS DISCLOSED HEREIN AND TO PROCESS COMPLAINANT’S ANONYMOUS WHISTLEBLOWER CLAIMS.  ANY OTHER USE OR DUPLICATION IS PROHIBITED WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF COMPLAINANT AND COMPLAINANT’S ATTORNEYS, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

THIS DOCUMENT MAY ALSO BE PROTECTED FROM DISCLOSURE BY LAW, SEC REGULATIONS, THE COMMON INTEREST PRIVILEGE, OR ADMINISTRATIVE OR COURT ORDER. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE XXXXXXXXXXXXX.

Attachment to Form TCR

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

The Form TCR submitted electronically herewith, this attachment, and the accompanying supporting documentation (collectively “Form TCR”) contain anonymous and confidential information regarding securities law violations by Valour Inc. formerly known as DeFi Technologies Inc. (“Valour”), a penny stock that in reality markets itself as a decentralized finance company, which holds liquid digital currency and cash assets valued at over $350 million.  

Specifically, the anonymous Complainant[1] has inside knowledge of the management of Valour, namely Russell James Starr (“Starr”), its current Executive Chairman and CEO, facilitating and participating in the deliberate manipulation of its stock price to carry out a multi-faceted pump and dump scheme (the “Scheme”), including but not limited to, “tipping” (providing material non-public information about a publicly traded company or a security to a person who is not authorized to have the information with the intent to gain some sort of benefit), overt acts of witness intimidation, in concert with a clear breach of fiduciary duty in violation of numerous securities laws.  

The obvious fraudulent nature of the sale of Valour stock is derived from the fact that the scheme was carried out by using a soap and vitamin sales force, generally described commonly as multilevel marketers or pyramid schemers, none of whom were FINRA registered or had any experience in finance or public securities.  This unlawful sales force was paid $10 million in commissions in exchange for delivering $30+ million in stock purchases, coerced and incentivized by Starr.  

The transactions were carried without providing any form of legally required regulatory disclosure to the purchasers of the stock and without disclosing the illegal compensation paid to unregistered promoters, who were paid commissions approaching 50%. It should be noted that typical commissions paid to a licensed broker dealer ranges from 3%-5%. 

Russel James Starr, who is the current Chairman and CEO is by all accounts simply the largest shareholder in disguise who took over Valour to initiate the scheme that offered “tipping” and bribes to the promoters of the stock in collusion with the company’s executives and internal corporate and securities counsel.

The promoters are experienced career network marketers, selling everything from soap and vitamins to prepaid legal services - and - who utilized their vast network affiliations, commonly referred to as a “downline” to artificially inflate the shares in favor of insiders using unsophisticated investors, while by admission, in writing (and by voice recordings), brag about “running the stock down and buying it back up at a discount.”

The three primary promoters are Joshua Denne, Brian Quinn, and Darryl Drake. Between them they were paid approximately $10 million in stock, used to purchase a fleet of Rolls Royces, private jet memberships and homes, and was liquidated as their network of investors lost nearly 80% of the value in this scheme (approximately $20 million). The result of this Scheme approaches an approximate aggregate loss to collective investors of more than $100 million and counting.

COMPLAINANT INFORMATION

CONFIDENTIAL.

INFORMATION ON ALLEGED VIOLATIONS     

  1. STARR MANIPULATES STOCK FOR HIS OWN GAIN:

      Starr took over as Chairman and CEO  (as the largest single shareholder) and together with other insiders manipulated the stock for his own gain.  Substantial documentation of the intent to manipulate the stock price exists.  

Starr was able to excite both the promoters with bribes of free trading shares, fast liquidated for personal gain, and utuilze this network marketing structure to sell Velour stock to the inside buyers and the public to theatrically inflate the share price. In combination, Starr and other insiders were selling off at a premium and “buying back up” at a discount, resulting in a mounting $100 million public loss

  1. STARR DIRECTLY PROMOTES ILLEGAL SCHEME:

Starr directly bribed the Promoters (as did other insiders).  Starr made direct calls to promoters and investors, and this relationship devolved into a greed-based tug of war between the promoters and Starr. The secret dealings between Starr and the promoters resulted in the creation of substantial evidence as to their illegal scheme and unlawful conduct. The documentary evidence related to the scheme are captured in hundreds of emails, texts messages and voice recordings where Starr and the Promoters make mutually incriminating statements as the greed between the caused their relationships to devolve.  

  • FALSE CLAIMS OF INSTITUTIONAL BUYING BY STARR:

Starr incessantly lied about institutional investors, falsely injected names of “big players” that would drive up the already artificially inflated stock price to 10 dollars (doubling investor gains) and how he was about to obtain an up-listing of Valour stock onto the NASDAQ exchange. These statements were false and constitute fraudulent inducements with the sole purpose of pumping up the stock and promote illegal buying.

CONCLUSION

            The Complainant believes that the above-described conduct by Russell James Starr, in collusion with Joshua Denne, Brian Quinn and Daryl Drake represents violations of numerous securities laws providing the basis for SEC actions and sanctions.  The Complainant is fully committed to providing any cooperation or assistance to the SEC if it opens an investigation into these matters.  If the SEC has any questions regarding this Form TCR, please contact below-signed counsel.

                                                                        Respectfully submitted,

The truth behind these false allegations

#29UPDATE Employee ..inside information

Mon, September 12, 2022

We would like to refute the malicious, fabricated, and libelous post made by John Dire, who is obviously a pseudonym for Adam Zuckerman. Adam who refers to himself as “The Wolf” has spent countless hours sending hundreds of harassing emails, phone calls and text message to former employees, investors, and principals of both SDK meta and Valour in his attempts to extort monies on share to which he has no claim.  In at least two separate text messages, he has also threatened physical harm to family members.

It is important to note that:

1 - Adam has been involved in multiple illegal schemes, including land fraud https://www.courthousenews.com/feds-accuse-23-in-20-million-fraud/ and both he and all his aliases are well known by both the Ripoff Report and authorities. 

2 - Adam has asserted and reiterated in numerous emails that he was a lawyer, passed the bar, and "has not lost a case in 27 years" when in fact Adam is not a member of the California State Bar Association. Stating that one is a registered lawyer is illegal as is using information procured under the guise of being a member of the bar. A formal complaint was submitted to the California State Bar by Joshua Denne. 

3 - Adam has boasted of shorting Defi thus causing the value of the stock and Company to tumble and is trying to cause further damage to the Company, Joshua Denne, and others by issuing false claims such as this report which has no merit.

4 – Adam’s company Rival Capital is a shell company where most of the team are actually employees of another company owned by Dr. Don Thorne who is listed as a Principal of Rival Capital Group.

To set the record straight, Adam manipulated Joshua Denne by taking 100k USD for his “legal services” associated with salvaging an issue with 2 former partners of SDK meta while having a personal agenda of taking over the remnants of SDK meta (stock and technology). 

The bottom line is that Adam never had, nor does he currently have any claim to any assets of SDK or Valour. When his attempts to defraud and besmirch SDK and Joshua Denne failed, he turned on Russell Stark and other employees and investors. 

There are no new, ongoing, or pending investigations or litigations against Joshua Denne, the Company or other individuals mentioned in this report. Neither were any facts checked or parties mentioned in this report contacted by Rioffreport.com prior to this posting.

John DIre is most likely Adam Zuckerman, known and convicted felon

#30REBUTTAL Individual responds

Mon, September 12, 2022

Adam Zuckerman, (suspected alias, John Dire and likely author of this report) has been attempting to extort both SDK Meta and Valour for months now. It is rumoured that his lawyers fired him, and Adam has now resorted to alternative methods to attempt to extort both Valour, SDK and the individuals mentioned in the article. 

Adam is a known felon has been convicted of fraud and both he and all his aliases are well known by authorities as well as by the Ripoff Report. Adam is so arrogant that on his LinkedIn profile he boasts of using litigation to extort companies and refers to himself as “the Wolf” on his fictitious website – rivalcap.com. As a cautionary tale we are reporting this so that other people are not harmed by Adam or his shell of a firm, rivalcap.com.

There are numerous false and easily refuted allegations in John Dire’s (aka Adam's) posted report.

  • Mr. Starr is not the largest shareholder of Valour.  Insiders of Canadian publicly listed companies are required to file their holdings on the System for Electronic Disclosure of Insiders (www.SEDI.ca) and a search of the website will confirm Mr. Starr is not the company’s largest shareholder with several others having 4 or 5 times more shares than he.
  • Mr. Starr has only ever bought and never once sold a share of Valour Inc.
  • The claim that Mr. Starr forced his way into the role of Executive Chair and CEO is also false and impossible in a public company.  The board of directors of Valour appointed Mr. Starr, and the board was elected by the shareholders of the company. Similarly the board appointed Mr. Starr CEO.
  • We are not aware of a review or investigation by any regulatory authority – the author of the report should provide evidence of this and we are certain that when asked, not one shred of information will be forthcoming.
  • CBC Canada was called last night and has no report or story they are reviewing – a media organization would typically ask the company for comment if they were conducting an investigation.  This has not happened.
  • No illegal promotion ever occurred – the author should provide evidence of this claim as it is false
  • Like every other crypto company – Defi’s chart mimics the trading of BTC
  • Prior to Valour investing into Routemaster, the shell (Routemaster) of course traded at pennies as it was a shell. It was not until the DeFi business was vended into Routemaster that the stock began to create value. Commenting that the stock was sub .10c for over 5 years is laughable. Of course it was just as every other shell in Canada does until a deal or operating company is put into the shell.
  • Financials are routinely filed quarterly and annually – as per all regulatory requirements. As a public company all financial records are public and easily attainable – Mr. Dire (aka Adam Zuckerman and his numerous aliases should know this)
  • Valour was approved to be listed on the Nasdaq – this information is public and can be found on the company’s website.

Adam Z initially portrayed and confirmed in email numerous times that he was a lawyer to both SDK and also Valour boasting that he passed the bar, and "has not lost a case in 27 years". His illegal actions and posturing as a lawyer have been reported to the California bar.

Purporting to be a lawyer when you have not been called to the BAR is illegal and furthermore, using information ascertained while pretending to be a lawyer is also illegal. Adam has also boasted to numerous people that he has been shorting Valour and is trying to create further losses by issuing false claims such as this report.

He has left drunken messages to numerous people stating that he will drive the company to zero and has made personal threats on numerous occasions to everyone named in this report and likely many others.

Adam took 100k USD from Josh Denne for his supposed services - and despite this, tried to steal SDK and its technology unsuccesfully. Once everyone realized Adam, along with Rival Capital was a scam, they all walked away. It was this action (turning down his ridiculous deal) that in turn caused Adam to resort to his extortionist ways fabricating details to suit his ego and efforts.

Adam, as he has done countless other times is using nefarious tactics to attempt to extort yet another company. He is nothing short of a liar and as mentioned, convicted and known felon. Other people beware...
