To our knowledge there are 150+ shareholders. Ioticiti has not followed the laws under the BC Corporation Act or the BC Securities Commission. These people have brought undue stress and hardship to many shareholders families by perpetuating lies and given false deadline dates to when investors would be paid dividends, when shareholders would be bought out and even denying them any documentation about comapy financials, evaluations of their technology or current share price. Markham Ontario
Tale of Two Cities- Markham Ontario 2023 - What some thought was a lucky chance to have the privilege to being invited to invest in a new IoT company that developed their own WIRELESS SUPERHIGHWAY namely IOTICITI NETWORKS INC. (Metro Connect International - Mustang Holdings - Metro Wireless) Darrin Frank and Lou Gallucci began sucking in small investors, family's and small businesses to keep them afloat until they were able to bring in some big investors(FISH). Since 2015 they have had 3 different private placements at various prices, they have received deposits from future business partners, they first told shareholders they were focusing on Canada and the USA, then they were meeting and negotiating with potential Global buyers. Since early 2018 it has been delay after delay after delay having negotiations with various parties to buy ownership, with signings of various partnerships and multiple client agreements. The problem is shareholders were getting verbal updates to all these details via phone calls from the VP of Business Development namely Lou Gallucci. In mid 2021 there was a company evaluation done by Deloitte and by the end of 2021 there were new officers hired CEO Andrew Branion (Former Scotiabank) and COO Michael Friedman (Former Scotiabank) with shareholders being updated by Mr. Gallucci again. In 2022, there was an evaluation completed by the C.T.I.A of Ioticiti’s US and Canadian Spectrum licences which were needed for the negotiations with potential ownership buyers. However, this information has not been shared with any shareholders, only verbal confirmation to a few shareholders by Lou Gallucci. To the present day there has never been a shareholders meeting, vote, or sharing of any documentation. Now many family and friends are fighting because in today's economy, many of the initial small investors need there investment out of Ioticiti before they loose property, businesses and spouses.
Tale of Two Cities- Boca Raton Florida 2006 - Cecil Darrin Frank and his wife Sophia (Opasinis) Frank found guilty of fraud and deported to Canada.
It seems this family easily gets co-conspirators to lie and cheat good hard working people and their families out of their hard earned money, destroys some small businesses and breaks up many families and friendships with no remorse. How do I know that, well when Ronakld Frank lives a high lifestyle and sits in an empty offfice out in Vancouver, brother Cecil Darrin Frank and his wife recently sold two residential homes for approximately $6 million, partly owns an Italian restaurant and drives a Bentley.

My group and i would like to suggest that anybody that is still doing work with any of these people commented in this article and all the comments to stay very far from them away from.
from our understanding they are still fund raising for more grifts that they have not put together.
we determined through discussions with many investors that they actually had a boiler room running selling radio licenses under many different companies --- these assets should have been rolled up into ioticiti and metro connect --- they were not.
this is highly illegal and we are hoping the authorities will help everyone whom had their lives ruined by these grifters.
their political affiliations and people around them are also to be speculated to a great degree
the authorities have been notified in the usa and in canada; hopefully we will see some truth and justice soon.
people deserve to know who did this to them; we have a feeling there are a lot more people involved than what we see on the surface; destroyed their families through putting trust in them and why they did it

holidays especially christmas are utter hell and have been for years since we made the investment.
they continued to grift and bring in more investors well into 2022
we had been involved with them for 5 years at that point and we were always told things were promising and the business was being built properly and the reason it was taking so long is that they had to do all the due dilligence
be careful with these people
they are liars

We put a lot of our family money into ioticiti due to the constant bs that we were promised by Darren, Lou and Jordan.
We were involved for so many years and we put more and more money in as we received assurances that metro connect and then ioticiti was going to have breakthroughs.
They literally destroyed my family and my relationship with my spouse because my group invested with ioticiti. With family emergencies, sicknesses and now employment issues due to sickness; the business team at ioticiti has destroyed my kids lives.
These thieves should no be allowed to walk free in the world.
Their ; the ioticiti business team families should reflect on the disgraceful nature of their family members.
They should probably do what is right and come clean for their futures as well.

So many lives have been affected by these grifters.... they use religion to pose as ethical people, lie about their past, lie about their future, their families are in on it to... strategically placing their family members in positions as insiders.
The shareholders i have met have been so broken by this all and i hope their is justice.

I cant wait to hear more on this case it looks like a lot of people were involved and the business team were big into white collar crime and likely throughout their business careers prior to ioticiti. I bet it was just amplified when they all got together. Good to see there is some potential for these poor families that were ripped off. Lets hope the court system has some morals and ethics; i have faith in our judicial systems even though white collar criminals should be treated far more harshly for the generational damage it does.

#39REBUTTAL Individual responds
Wed, May 31, 2023
To the external shreholders it was a no brainer for ioticiti to go to the BDC; especially with the tech they were developing. Many of us had good interactions with the BDC and were successful in using them to get our businesses going. For years this subject was brought up and often the replies were in the form of deflection or appeasement with no action.
Everyone on the business team was complicit in this deflection.
After finding out what happened in december of 2022 when the accounts were exposed it makes absolute sense that the BDC business loans were discouraged.

Radio development - we made a radio that is in the field
sensor stack development - we made a product that is in the field
it operations work
software/hardware development for construction applications
and much more.
Being well versed in R&D and product development the SNRED program in canada is an excellent means to recoup R&D money for all the work that was being done by the development team.
Some of us would request the use of the SNRED but the executives would nay say it and said it wasnt worth it. This went on for years... despite knowing that SNRED can recoup 40% if not more of the R&D expenses. This should have been a red flag for many of us but we had a lot of trust at the time in the executive team.
Some of the lead technical staff were never paid and would often put in 70 hour weeks to get the development done. The premise around the work conducted was always we are almost there and the big payout was coming. We were terribly mislead and its horrible that some of the executives were paying for their own homes, cars, family cars and expenses etc on the backs of both the tech team and the shareholders investment dollars.
The immoral and unethical behaviour of the executive business team is absolutely abhorrent.

--- Would at some point consider checking on where the 10's of millions of $'s were deposited; and for a company that had no product out there how was there burn rate so high?
At no point did any reflect on the ethical nature or the fudiciary responsibilities in managing peoples money? Especially those they had a personal relationship with whom were banking on ioticiti/metro connect being successful?
Was everyone in on it? Even those in British Columbia where they were headquartered out of?
All these questions need to be addressed but after being taken to the cleaners by ioticiti many of us do not have the funds to support lawyers. Meanwhile all of the ioticiti business corporate team and their offspring are driving high end vehicles and living in high end homes.
This is all so surreal and sickening.
