* RAP defaulted on the Facility Agreement and was unable to pay the balance of the loan. Against this background VTB brought proceedings against Nutritek, Marshall Capital Holdings Limited (a BVI company and indirect owner of a substantial interest in Nutritek) and Mr Konstantin Malofeev (a Russian resident and the alleged principal beneficial owner of both Nutritek and Marshall).

In Imperial, Nebraska, in the year of 2003 the 4 year old, Connor Corum, claims that he visited heaven. One day he got really sick out of nowhere, no signs of sickness or anything until this day. He was just fine the day before, but when this illness came over he could barely move. His parents then rushed him to the hospital, and they found out his appendix had ruptured and needed to be taken out immediately. He got taken into emergency surgery, that’s when everything took place. A few weeks after he got out of the hospital he decided it was time to tell his parents what actually happened in the operating room. They didn’t know how to react to this at first, they were shocked and didn’t expect that to come out a 4 year old’s mouth. When it

I interviewed Theresa Pascal of Brampton on a chilly Monday night sitting on her and glossed dining table after dinner. Theresa originates from Grenada a country in the Caribbean nicknamed “the island of spices” due to its exports of exotic spices. She is a 74 year old young senior divorcee living in a penthouse suite in one of the high rise apartments in Brampton. She has one child and five grandchildren who she considers to be her pride and joy. She worked the night shift at Smurfit-Stone a paper-based packaging company for 46 years and retired in 2006. Before moving to Canada, she worked in Denmark for 8 years.

In 2009, Anna Amphlett, a recruiting financial analyst at Southern Cross Investments LLC, was asked to prepare a report on Lennar’s joint ventures and an exact way on how they accounted for the investments due to a release that stated the Lennar Corporation had been practicing fraud (Pearce and Robinson, 2016). In January, the Fraud Discovery Institute had questions in regards to Lennar’s off-balance-sheet debt and a personal loan that was very large and taken out by a top company executive. Amphlett, wanted to make

Executive Summary: This memo analyses a case where MicroTek Inc, a GPS software development company, became insolvent after engaging into ultra vires contracts leading to unsustainable levels of liquidity. While the insolvency could have been solved through conducting net asset test, this memo concludes that the payment of dividends in the tune of $10,000 was improper. In addition, from the case it is evident that Amanda, who offers her 100 shares to the company at the cost of $10,500, does not have any liability to the corporation or to its creditors in connection with the corporation’s requisition of 100 shares.

“Woot, woot” goes the whistle on the steam engine pulling railcars full of cargo and people destined for the frontiers of America. These people, some of whom are gazing out across the great view, others are quietly reading a book, or sharing the latest news and gossip. These people are unknowingly helping to expand the nation. The train is now slowing down to make a stop, steam and smoke spewing forth from the steam engine, its bell ringing and whistle blaring. Children begin to try and keep up while running next to it as it slowly pulls next to the platform. The Conductor steps off and the passengers begin to follow suit. This train is one of many that connected the frontier which was vital to our nation’s development. The following routes make the foundation of our national character, policies, and our economic development.

Two less than satisfying investment situations led Brad Reifler, Founder and CEO of Forefront Capital, to readjust his target audience from "accredited investors," as defined by the Securities Commission, to middle-class America, or non-accredited investors, the overlooked 99 percent. The first, a personal investment in a college savings plan for his daughters that actually lost money and the second, the discovery that his father-in-law did not make the cut as an accredited investor despite 35 years of saving for retirement.

It all started on a crisp, chilly and clear day in the fall. A warm hearted, tall peasant with black hair, blue eyes, named Cole was traveling on horseback to his wife and two tiny children who lived extremely far away on another land. On the manor, just ahead of Cole, was a citizen who was stealing a bag of gold. When the citizen saw guards coming towards him he dropped the bags and ran. As Cole approached the same manor, Cole noticed the same bag on the ground and stopped to see what it was. As he looked at the bag laying on the ground, he heard, "Stop right there!" When Cole looked up he saw two guards running angrily towards him and when they got close they grabbed Cole's neck.

The review of the case study “The Hollinger Media Group. Lord Black: Fall of a Media Tycoon” reveals how Black built a media empire when he bought his first newspaper in Quebec at age 22. The company, Hollinger was built representing the third largest publisher of newspapers in circulation in the world with over 400 titles. His breakthrough came when he took over the Telegraph group the owner of Daily Telegraph which was Britain’s top selling quality daily newspaper in the 80’s. By 2004 the empire collapsed as a result of various challenges related to how Black and his associates were engaged in undisclosed deals that benefited them but hurt the company; they were accused and also was found guilty of financial irregularities which was more than $400 million representing about 95.2 percent of the entire Hollinger’s adjusted net income for the period 1997-2003. By October 2004, a $542 million law suit was filed against Black, his wife and the associates involved by Hollinger. Security Exchange Commission (SEC) also filed

Bernard Ebbers was the second child of five children and was born in Canada. He worked as a milkman and bar bouncer before finally getting a scholarship to play basketball for Mississippi College (Padgett/Jackson, 2002). Ebbers dream was to become a coach and be a high school teacher. When he graduated he worked for a Mississippi College as a basketball coach and even own and ran a chain of motels. Ebbers knew he could achieve only if he had an opportunity to prove it. After a few years he met a group of investors that wanted to make a company that would compete with AT&T and thought Ebbers would be the guy that would make it happen for them. Everything started on a napkin “the group drew up the plans for LDDS (Long-Distance Discount Services)” (Gould). This

In early 2002, Kozlowski announced Tyco’s split of its four divisions into independent, publicly traded companies: Security and Electronics, Healthcare, Fire Protection and Flow Control, and Financial Services. Soon after, everything began to crumble. The board of directors learned that Frank Walsh (one of its members) had received a $20 million commission for his part in securing and aiding the CIT merger, without the knowledge of the rest of the board. Walsh was fined and later resigned. The board members were troubled by the notion that Kozlowski had made a major payment without informing them so they launched an investigation into whether the other board members had earned such commissions. The investigation uncovered numerous expense abuses. Also in 2002, the New York State Bank Department observed large sums of moving in and out of Tyco’s account. What made this unusual was that the funds were being transferred into Kozlowski’s personal accounts. Authorities discovered that Kozlowski had sought to avoid around $1 million in New York state import taxes. After purchasing around $14 million in rare artwork, Kozlowski had the

In the 19th century, hucksters and literal snake oil salesmen often marketed their business ideas directly to clueless citizens who fell for a variety of get-rich-quick schemes, magical cure-alls and ownership stakes of fine engineering marvels like the Brooklyn Bridge. As robber barons captured the industrial markets of the world, it became increasingly important to know someone in business to pitch a new idea. The golden age of the deal focused on who you knew. If you could get a meeting with a venture capitalist, you could surely convince him with great ideas, solid but ill-defined action plans and plenty of personal charm.

WorldCom Inc. began as a small Mississippi provider of long disntance telephone service called LDDS. It wasn’t till the late 1990s that it began to expand into MFS comminications and acquired MCI acquistions. This late economic prosperity was characterized by a perceived expansive growth that increased the expectations of a company‟s performance. The telecommunication company became a victim of these expectations, which led to the new evolution of a fraud designed to deceive the public while the econmy slowly tried to improve itself. To prevent frauds in the future from growing and occurring as big as WorldCom did, we must try to understand what led to the fraud. How did the fraud grow so fast, what were the after effects, and how can we learn to derived to gain a better understanding of the reasons behind a fraud.
