E-MAIL SENT AUGUST 5, 2013 Dear Mr. Ospina –As you are aware, you provided a falsified letter from Consumer Stock to Mr. Alvaro Calvo of Industrial Fire Rescue dated July 13, 2013. In that letter you falsely claim to have a “global license” allowing you to export to Costa Rica products manufactured by Tiberius Arms LLC and Piexon AG (you refer to as “JPX”).You are not in possession of any global license nor are you authorized in any way to export those products. In fact, I am the manufacturer’s representative for Costa Rica and I am a citizen of the USA.

CRIMINAL COMPLAINT SENT AUGUST 12, 2013 Federal Bureau of Investigation16320 NW 2nd AvenueNorth Miami Beach, FL 33169 Miami Beach Police DepartmentEconomic Crime Squad1700 Convention Center DriveMiami Beach, FL 33139 August 12, 2013 In Re.: Report of Ongoing Violation of US Federal Wire Fraud Statute 18 U.S.C. Section 1343 and the Florida Communications Fraud Act (2010 Florida Statutes) 817.034 Dear Special Agent I am writing to report an ongoing wire fraud scheme in violation of federal and state law as listed above. I am doing this because myself (a US citizen) (deleted) , a Costa Rica citizen (deleted) , a Costa Rica company Importaciones Gamboa, S.A. (IMGASA) and a Costa Rica government ministry, the Ministerio de Justicia y Paz, are targeted victims of the scheme. If all steps of the fraud are successfully completed the sum of money involved will be $ 361,241 USD. I have enclosed a ring binder with Exhibits ranging from A (at tab one) to F6 (at tab 6) to support this correspondence. The people and companies actively engaging in the wire fraud and fraudulent communications are Mr. Alvaro Alonso Calvo Gutierrez (a Costa Rica citizen), Mr. J. Pablo Tapia (a Costa Rica citizen), Industrial Fire and Rescue, S.A. (a Costa Rica company), Mr. Javier Ospina (a Venezuelan citizen residing in Miami Beach), Mr. Jorge Ospina (a Venezuelan citizen residing in Miami), and Consumer Stock LLC (a Florida based limited liability company). I would call the fraud scheme a “public bid bait and switch” or perhaps a “public bid hit and run”. The fraud involves a Precondition and 6 distinct steps to be successful in obtaining the funds. I have outlined those below with reference to the Exhibits in the ring binder. PRECONDITION The precondition is the issuance by the Ministerio de Justicia y Paz of Costa Rica of a public bid for equipment. In this situation myself, Javier Gamboa Calderon, and IMGASA are the true and legitimate manufacturer’s representatives / distributors for the territory of Costa Rica of the products manufactured by Tiberius Arms LLC (USA), ATO Systems LLC dba PepperBall (USA under common ownership with Tiberius Arms) and Piexon AG (Swiss company that manufactures the non-lethal self-defense pistol Jet Protector JPX). Since 2009 we have been introducing, selling, and training Costa Rica police departments and private security in the use of non-lethal weapons equipment such as pepper sprays, .68 caliber pepper ball launchers, Jet Protector JPX, etc. We have met with and demonstrated this equipment to all levels of government. Now, based on the need to reform the prison system and modernize law enforcement, the Ministerio de Justicia y Paz has issued a public bid for the equipment (enclosed as Exhibit A at tab 1). I have also enclosed as Exhibits C1 through C5 at tab 3 letters from manufacturers confirming that we are the distributors, and further confirming that documents submitted by the people involved in the fraud are false. FRAUD SCHEME STEP ONE After the public bid is issued the first necessary step is to provide a false document claiming that Consumer Stock LLC and Industrial Fire Rescue, S.A. are authorized dealers of the products in the public bid. This is essential because the bid requires that the products have a factory warranty and support. Mr. Javier Ospina provided the false document to Mr. Alvaro Calvo via email on July 13, 2013. The letter is attached as Exhibit B1 at tab 2. Upon learning of the false claims I immediately contacted every company in the letter to confirm or refute the claim of a “global license”. I have attached at tab 3 the evidence that Tiberius and Piexon AG (referred to in the letter as “JPX”) are patently false. The responses from the other manufacturers are also attached as Exhibits D1 through D8 at tab 4. Consumer Stock LLC is apparently a reseller of paintball products from Tippmann and RAP4 but the rest of the manufacturers have either never heard of them or confirm they are not dealers. I have a chart available of the results of my inquiries if you need it. But it is painfully obvious the letter of July 13, 2013 is a fraudulent communication. FRAUD SCHEME STEP TWO The second step of the fraud involves the electronic filing a public bid offering. That was done by Mr. Alvaro Calvo on July 17, 2013 and it is attached as Exhibit B2 at tab 2. Mr. Calvo simply copied and pasted the requirements of the bid and digitally signed it as well as including as an attachment the false global license letter. This was necessary because the bid is evaluated by a formula and the exact match of the specifications will not raise red flags. The fraud, of course, is that if the offering should prevail Industrial Fire and Rescue, S.A. cannot provide the factory warranty, nor the Jet Protector JPX items if later purchased from Consumer Stock LLC (or, more accurately, attempt to purchase from Consumer Stock LLC or any combination of alternate suppliers). FRAUD SCHEME STEP THREE The third step in the fraud would be the winning of the bid in favor of the false offering of Mr. Calvo and Industrial Fire and Rescue, S.A. As of this writing there has not been a public announcement. FRAUD SCHEME STEPS FOUR THROUGH SIX The fourth step will take place only if the bid is awarded to the fraudulent offering. That would be the purchase for resale of the items in the bid. The fifth step would be delivery, inspection, and acceptance of the items. The sixth step would be payment for the items. Based upon discussions I have had with suppliers who have seen this type of thing happen in other countries, the fraudulent bidder provides evidence that he has won the bid and gives the suppliers an ultimatum. If they want to make the sale they sell to the winner or they lose the sale. That is how the fraudulent bidder obtains the exact merchandise requested by the bid. INTENT TO DEFRAUD I have also attached as Exhibits E1 through E10 at tab 5 correspondence I have had with Mr. Javier Ospina, Mr. Jorge Ospina, and Mr. J. Pablo Tapia. Not only do they demonstrate awareness that their letter of a global license is fraudulent, and their bid is fraudulent, they have no intention of retracting it or discontinuing their scheme. In the most recent correspondence from Mr. J. Pablo Tapia he goes so far as to tell me to kiss his a*s. CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THE PARTIES I have attached as Exhibits F1 through F6 complete contact information for Mr. Alvaro Alonso Calvo Gutierrez, Mr. J. Pablo Tapia, Industrial Fire and Rescue, S.A., Mr. Javier Ospina, Mr. Jorge Ospina, and some other businesses of Mr. Javier Ospina. The address used by Consumer Stock LLC is actually the physical location of their freight forwarder Vertex Freight Systems.

Washington, DC 20530-0001September 25, 2013 In Re.: Report of Violation of The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, 15 U.S.C. §§ 78dd-1, et seq. ("FCPA") Dear Sir or Madame: I am writing to report a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. I have previously submitted a complaint to the FBI and the Miami Beach Police Department when my best understanding was that the activities of the people involved were wire fraud and fraudulent communications. I have attached a copy of the prior complaint. If you would kindly review it I will not need to repeat many facts in this correspondence. I now believe from reading your website that parts of the fraud are violations of the FCPA. The people and companies violating the FCPA are Mr. Alvaro Alonso Calvo Gutierrez (a Costa Rica citizen), Mr. J. Pablo Tapia (a Costa Rica citizen), Industrial Fire and Rescue, S.A. (a Costa Rica company), Mr. Javier Ospina (a Venezuelan citizen residing in Miami Beach), Mr. Jorge Ospina (a Venezuelan citizen residing in Miami), and Consumer Stock LLC (a Florida based limited liability company). I have underlined and made bold the parts of your website that lead me to conclude there is a violation of the FCPA below:An Overview The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, 15 U.S.C. §§ 78dd-1, et seq. ("FCPA"), was enacted for the purpose of making it unlawful for certain classes of persons and entities to make payments to foreign government officials to assist in obtaining or retaining business. Specifically, the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA prohibit the willful use of the mails or any means of instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of any offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment of money or anything of value to any person, while knowing that all or a portion of such money or thing of value will be offered, given or promised, directly or indirectly, to a foreign official to influence the foreign official in his or her official capacity, induce the foreign official to do or omit to do an act in violation of his or her lawful duty, or to secure any improper advantage in order to assist in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any person.In the situation with the bid for the Costa Rica Ministry of Justice, the “thing of value” is the falsified letter from Consumer Stock LLC that they could supply the brands to Industrial Fire and Rescue, S.A. (IFR). Without that false letter IFR could not respond to the bid nor influence the foreign officials to award the sale of over $ 300,000 to IFR (please note there is no public announcement of the winner, as of this writing, that I am aware of). Furthermore, without a successful transaction resulting from the falsified letter there can be no subsequent payment of a monetary bribe. The proof that the false letter is very valuable is the fact that IFR did respond to the bid, and through many additional communications, may succeed in the bait and switch fraud I first complained about. There are many communications, technical analyses and recommendations, and revisions, in the public bid system known as Compra Red in Costa Rica that show the influence on the officials. If that influence directs the transaction to Consumer Stock LLC and IFR they will then be in a position to pay a monetary bribe. I believe if your office were to open an investigation through the Costa Rica Regional Security Officer of the State Department, that the Ministry of Justice would allow access to the Compra Red system and you would confirm I am correct.

There are two most likely scenarios:- IFR is using your address without your knowledge or consent.

When we update our investigation information to the authorities we will include your confirmation.

You now have knowledge based on my USPS delivery confirmation of this correspondence, that I have reported criminal activity using your address. Should you make any overt act in the future to further the goal of the criminal conspiracy, I will make every effort to have you prosecuted as co-conspirators, and sued under a private FCPA and a second and separate tort action. Such overt acts include but are not limited to freight forwarding of items in the public tender to Costa Rica, correspondence to warn or in any other way assist IFR, etc. Finally, your address will be used for civil process of the Summons and Complaint for the tort action against IFR by the Sheriff. Your silence in this matter will be used to defend the correct address of service of summons in the event a challenge is made in Court by the defendant IFR.

Washington, DC 20530-0001 November 11, 2013 In Re.: Addendum and Update to Report of Violation of The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, 15 U.S.C. §§ 78dd-1, et seq. ("FCPA") as Previously Submitted On September 25, 2013 Dear FCPA Coordinator: I am writing to provide an Addendum and Update to a report of a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The original report dated September 25, 2013 and a few pages of a report to the FBI and MBPD are attached to reference the file. The events that have transpired since the prior information was submitted now reveal that the public tender was part of a bid rigging scheme. The USA suppliers attempted to set up secondary and perhaps tertiary resellers upon the public announcement. That failed because our firm Importaciones Gamboa, S.A. (IMGASA) submitted an offer prematurely and upon learning of that the USA suppliers discontinued their efforts. I believe that the “dba PepperBall” USA “team” sets up multiple resellers in countries around the world. Then when a public tender is announced they obtain details from each of the resellers, unbeknownst to each, that they are doing so. Then the USA “team” makes a decision of which reseller is the most likely winner and proceeds to withdraw support from the resellers they determine should lose. That way they make a sale 100% of the time, and competitors from the USA, South Africa, Taiwan, and Hong Kong don’t have a chance to sell their encapsulated pepper ball munitions. In the case of Costa Rica they did not have a secondary reseller until an offering was submitted using falsified documentation, and when the new reseller was available the USA “team” returned to their normal Modus Operandi. The events in Costa Rica are fully explained in the enclosed documents which consist of communications between IMGASA and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, and the Miami Office of the Commerce Dept. Office of Export Enforcement. I have listed below the USA law enforcement and attorney misconduct authorities IMGASA plans to notify of this situation (or have already done so):- US Department of Justice, FCPA Coordinator, Washington, DC.

The final will be a demand for payment of damages and lost profits to be submitted by either (deleted) or our USA attorney(s). Our investigation is now complete and the process of interviewing USA legal counsel is nearly complete. We know all about the lawsuit in Indiana, the improper ATO communications with an adversary’s Costa Rica RAP4 reseller IMGASA, the deceptions, concealment and lies of ATO that caused the Costa Rica reseller IMGASA to make an offer in the tender of “dba PepperBall” projectiles instead of RAP4 projectiles, the lie of Eric Bratten of ATO that the US Distributorship of Piexon AG was offered to ATO/TAL, the fraudulent letter CSL sent to IFR to allow a fraudulent offering to be submitted by IFR, the false letter from Attorney David J. Piell regarding the Indiana lawsuit and Court Orders against RAP4, the corruption and back stabbing that lead to a public announcement of IFR as the winner, the legal action in Costa Rica that followed that will result in a declaration of “no winner” in the tender, the lie by CSL to US Personal Defense Products to obtain IMGASA’s inventory of JPX, the conspiracy to export 8,250 grams of liquid OC and 255,000 grams of PAVA powder to Costa Rica without an Export License, and on and on. This matter will be 100% transparent in what took place within the shortest time frame we can make it happen. We guarantee that there will be no export license issued until OEE is satisfied it is the proper thing to do, that if one is granted and the items are shipped to Costa Rica that they will not be accepted as meeting the conditions of the tender upon inspection, that all of you guys are out of this business for good cause, you will not be involved in any future tender, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

False Letter Used To Trick Government of Costa Rica
#2Author of original report
Mon, September 08, 2014
This is the false letter that was provided by Consumer Stock LLC to Industrial Fire and Rescue Equipment SA to enable them to participate in the public tender in Costa Rica.
