From Krista Railey:
Great job Moe. You called this right from the beginning and have withstood attacks from GCS supporters such as Martin Andelman and Steve at MFI. Andelman, MLI, and MFI chose to attack your character rather than do accurate research that could have helped protect consumers. You still don’t see them reporting the truth about GCS.
This only goes to show that you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can’t fool everyone all of time. I’d at least like to see some accountability from these individuals in the way of a public acknowledgement.
I think this will end up being much bigger than anyone realizes given Erickson’s background in investments. Erickson was named as a defendant in a shareholder case against Accredited. The officers and directors of Accredited were accused of SEC violations. That case recently settled for $22 M.

More from Krista Railey:
However, if you check out San Diego court filings against Erickson, you will find a case against him involving over $700k in losses to the injured party.
I found and read numerous investment offerings on Erickson’s website that were not password protected. The offerings were for about $5m each. Green Credit Capital’s website also listed multiple LLC opportunities in similar format to Erickson’s site. One of the LLC investment opportunities posted on Erickson’s site showed as site content for Green Credit under a Google search of Green Credit Capital. Based on the number of LLC opportunities that were listed on their combined websites, they could have raised between $50,000,000 to $100,000,000. If the investments go bad, they could be looking at jail time.
Check out the case in San Diego and the current GCS issues on trust funds, and tell me it doesn’t make the hairs on the back of your neck stick up.

Interesting… came across our family name ‘Kubat’ and was surprised to find this out about Curtis… here is the link we found to the court document.

He recently vacationed in Italy for 3 weeks… may have some ‘bank’ set up. Also has accounts in Guatamala… watch out for Chris, and Cris. Oh… and LaRuffa is a known idiot.
Damac as a company is not involved in any fashion.
