Complaint Review: Dennis Stutes oilandgasinvesting.com

My rebuttal is simple, if you believe everyone working for the government has 'integrity' and is telling you the truth, then why do their officials elected or otherwise work to entrap, work under false names, and aliases, and omit to include all of the correct facts, such as what you did right and applaud you for it; and yet leave-out anything which would disprove their case?



Better still why don't government officials respond properly to Subpoena requests by Congress, and the Supreme Court, and supply documents requested of them. Hypocracy comes to mind...



Hey, maybe I should invoke 'Executive Privilege'



Prosecutors are all the same...they want to win a case and become a judge as one defense attorney by the name of Howard Frank once told me from San Diego.



Grow-up folks, the world is not clean, and neither are the people in it.



What's reputable, or honorable about an anonymous loser who has to post lies on the Internet and not use his name, phone, or address?

So, Mr. Ficticious person, or Mr. Groundhog, or Paul Grundig, or I'm betting Jeff Lavenhar a twice disbarred attorney in the states of Colorado in 1997, and in New Jersey in 2010 with a 'mental aberration or what did the judge call it, an 'anti-social attitude' and not 'correctible with medication'...a finding against you by the courts in a 28 page ruling by the Colorado Judge where you live, and so who are you?...if it's you Mr. Lavenhar you sucked $5,000 out of me for poor legal skills without a license when you told me you 'voluntarily surrendered your law license'. So, it's getty a bit close to home is it...? Have you ever been an Operator trying to find oil in Oklahoma, No, I didn't thing so, and have you ever raised money for a project other than to study oil deals? Securities attorney write and review PPM's I do not. You don't know what you don't know. But you know you are telling laws, distorting, and missrepresenting the truth. Isn't  that why you got disbarred?

Anytime you lose money, or wells don't perform my company or I some people decide are the bad guy. By the way, lets let the government with a 16 trillion dollar debt who won't let itself be sued, and who gives money away to non-citzens, and for all kinds of crazy reasons tell me how to balance a checkbook when they cant' balance our budget. I don't know of a single regulator who has ever been an operator or raised money from private citizens. They don't have the testicles for it...

Jeff, you are a joke...go crawl under some rock somewhere. You are no businessman and not a lawyer or landman. What are you? Apparantly, like most people on the sidelines, you like other losers 'not in the game' are simply put, guys who never put your butts on the firing line. You just blame your betters who do at great risk to themselves, and their name. What is your name. My name is Dennis W. Stutes, and my email and addresse hasn't changed in over a decade when I moved to San Jose. 

By the way where were you when there was a war on? I volunteered as my family members and flew both fixed wing, and rotary wing 'combat missions' in Cambodia, and Viet nam with the 70th. Avn Det. with Ace Cozzalio...look him up on Google. Ace was one of my bosses. I flew electronic warfare missions with the 7th RRFS Army Security Agency (ASA). What were you doing then, masterbating?

Don't attempt further to compare your poor character with my honorable one, because you can't hang buddy. How did you get an even poorer credit rating of 500 than your credibility in the legal profession with two disbarrments? So, you have the gaul to interpret my record which are not convictions, but are 'cease & desist' actions designed by state regulatory agencies to correct private placement memorandums, until corrections are made you liar, a big difference. I wasn't found guilty in a hearing, or by a judge in court of law of fraud for or of any crime. I have a civil judgment for not wanting to pay an ex-partner money the investors didn't have, didn't agree to, and I have appealed. You know anything about appeals, and settlements. You on the other hand are are disbarred attorney in two states...right? We'll let the readers decide. Or is the poster another Synergy Oil, Tony Pistilli twice convicted felon put-up guy...? How much did he pay you. You are not an investor of mine, and I've never heard your name as working for yet another New Port beach Boiler room operation, is it Irvine, California, or maybe Robert Falco's friend in Beverly Hills? A ficticious dead person who gets others to vote for him each year? Your comments are groundless, false, malicious, and subject to the slander, libel, and defamation of character. In fact all of my issues with any states are the result of entrappment by government officials, working under false names, or alises who never lost money or made an investment in my company.

Operators of Oil & Gas Leases are in the Hot Seat and have the Most Responsibility & Exposure in the Oil & Gas Industry Today.

Unless you own and manage a US trading public company subject to many Federal reporting requirements, are an Operator of a public company; or are legally raising funds for oil & gas Operators, or are directly involved with the day to day developmental operations, such as a private Operator is when acting as the authority with a required Surety Bond or financial statement accepted by the state authorities who are tasked with managing oil & gas assets; your rights to raise private funds, or your funding options are limited.

Small private Operators drilling new wells with funding by small and private promotion companies rely on equity capital funded from these often inexperienced or as more often than not the case inexperienced and unprofessional promoters who represent private investors or angel investors. Worse, remember, an Operator is committing resources, letting contracts, and trying to meet financial obligations when the funding promoters fail to perform, because they change names, or addresses, and simply leave town, and disappearthese end result problems become the basis for investor complaints. The Operator is then left holding the bag, and often bears the brunt of the investor dissatisfaction. Consumer complaints continue, and the promoter and the Operator now have to respond and deal with the lack of money which is almost always attributed to illegal actions by the
promoter, funding manager, or the Operator. If you dont find oil, no one is happy except for the promoter who took 30-50% or most and sometimes all of the funds raised. The dishonorable promoter then skips town, or can no longer be reached. The Operator is then left holding the bag and to account to investor it may not even know.

Venture capitalists are not the typical sources for funding when starting a new company, or forming an LLC for the purposes of funding a new oil company. They wait until the company is successfully producing oil, and making a profit in most cases.

Most small and non-public company Operators have great difficulty raising funds or knowing how to raise funds since their responsibilities to manage their leases, and oil  & gas wells take all of their time. Operators must report and account to Federal,
State, and local government agencies like the EPA, OCC, OSHA, National Wild Life Refuge, etc., and the Employment Securities Divisions, as in Oklahoma, and other agencies not to mention creditors with legitimate invoices or not; plus Operators must file bonds for plugging liabilities, and to require as the one responsible party in the oil field management scheme of operations in the US. (H**l, I dont know why anyone would want this job).

You are only as good as your last picture show in the oil & gas business when you operate wells in a given field or private deal; or as a bonded & licensed Operator in all oil states in the US. Private placement offerings legally enable funding agents, sponsors and issuers, and managers of limited liability companies (LLCs), to use the individual limited liability companies that must in a perfect world adhere to Federal and state securities laws to raise money. The process is determined by attorneys, and based on laws on the books, and whether updated for the current times, or not. Bottom-line, when the confidence and trust of the investors is lost, the finger pointing begins, and does not end until the lawyers get their money, and the judges rule.

Some ideas you may want to consider when dealing with anyone asking for your money. Avoid people in the oil industry who frequently change or disconnect email addresses or phone numbers, without updating you, or their names, work addresses, and/or who dont call you back in a timely fashion after you call them with their REAL NAMES.

Anyone asking for money should be willing to meet with you at their offices, or field locations, or have representatives who will meet with you with reasonable notice.

Finally, if you get reasonable, and sensible news by an Operator, or manager of limited liability companies while reporting proof of
dry holes, non-commercial wells, or worse felony thefts or destruction of oil field equipment or grand theft, such as larceny regarding oil field operations in the field it could be very legitimate. This is becoming very common today with our wonderful improving economy and change you can believe in administrations successnot to mention the kinder and gentler EPA. We can find wonderful examples in such states like Oklahoma where new FBI offices are being set-up in Oklahoma City to deal with cattle rustling, and to investigate theft of anything not welded, and concreted deep in the ground for example in Eastern
Oklahoma, and particularly in Okmulgee County where the crack cocaine, and oxycoton users and alcoholics are stealing with almost absolute impunity in this area of the country.

Other times there is ample evidence of actual well failure situations, or real operational problems even more money wont solve, and complaining to the authorities or accusing Operators, or manager of limited liability companies formed to raise money for oil & gas drilling & development activities without facts, and proof is not reasonable or morally right, and you could be sued for libel, slander and defamation of character. Dont accuse someone of unscrupulous behavior or actions unless you have proof, such as a court decision by a judge. We sue too much in this country and its help no one except the attorneys. This said, anyone posting anonymous and extremely dubious and negative information about a person or company on the Interest is 99% of the time a competitor, or person with an ax to ground, and worse a crook himself. Dont believe this swill without facts and court decision by judges.
