sam and rich are one of the hardest working individuals I have ever met. Whoever wrote this seems to be very jealous that these guys are still standing after such a bad 2008. Sam i hope you find out who is hiding behind the name, and do what you have to do to make sure he is brought to justice for such ridiculous accusations.

First, Chris Jacobsen, the author of the allegations in the above report, is a fictitious name. Neither myself nor R. Balles know of this person, either as a client or an employee/contract agent. Second, if Mr. Jacobsen had authored the truth, he or she - rather than email anonymously - would have reported the accusations to the police, filed a civil suit or even lodged a State of Maryland regulatory complaint. Third, because the individual who authored the report did not seek any possible legal recourse against us, we are aware that his failures to prove the truth started from the very beginning. However, in not wanting to give up his crusade, he decided to post this incredulous report on this website. At best, this post represents the "opinion" of a person who has failed to amount to anything in life. If Mr. Jacobsen wished to show the world the truth of his "opinions," he would have proven them long ago. Instead, he has chosen to hide behind the "rip off report," under the mistaken belief that neither he nor the website can be sued, which is nothing short of idiotic. Anyone in the United States is subject to suit and, even the President. The First Amendment's protections are not absolute, and defamatory speech of this nature is not protected. These cowards can hide behind fictitious names and attempt to run from the consequences of their words, but the truth will shine through and they will be held accountable. Chris Jacobson + "Rip Off Report." If anyone is concerned about the false post or would like to verify the accuracy of our response please feel free to contact myself or Mr. Balles at (((ROR redacted))) CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.

A posting was recently made on this site on January 17, 2009, authored by Chris, which mentioned Black Taurus Hedge Fund, to which the following is Black Taurus' response. First of all, Black Taurus neither has worked with nor knows of anyone by the name of Chris. Black Taurus operates under very strict SEC guidelines which strictly prohibit it from accepting investments from any individuals with whom it does not have a pre-existing business or personal relationship, and thus Chris is clearly a fictitious name. Secondly, if the author had any substantiated basis for his inflammatory remarks, he would have no reason to hide behind a fake name. Likewise, if the author had any basis for his comments about Black Taurus, his recourse would be in filing a civil complaint, contacting the police or filing a regulatory complaint with the SEC, and not in hiding behind a fictitious name and defaming a company about which he has no knowledge or prior dealings. Thirdly, Black Taurus operates strictly by the book and is fully compliant with all regulatory agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission. Rest assured that Black Taurus will do everything in its power to learn the author's true identity and pursue civil remedies against that individual to the fullest extent of the law. Black Taurus is a legitimate company which prides itself on its service and professionalism, we don't know the individual who authored the false post (and more importantly he/she does not know us), and we encourage anyone concerned by the false post to do their own due diligence. For more information on Black Taurus, or to verify the accuracy of the statements contained herein, please email [email protected]. Lastly, it is a shame that Rip Off Report - which has the noble intentions of being a watchdog over the marketplace - has become a forum for individuals to hide behind fake names and make wholly baseless and defamatory statements about honest and lawful companies, simply because of their personal vendetta against one of the company's officers or employees. It goes to show that anyone who is investigating the merits of a company need conduct their due diligence on multiple fronts.
