I asked Tom if he would ever pay me for my free work in cash or stock which he promised to me dozens of times since 2004, Tom Meredith said "NO!".

Martinson Extortion Attempt
#3REBUTTAL Owner of company

P2P Cash is recently the victim of an extortion attempt by John Robert Martinson. He worked as a consultant to P2P Cash; the first year under a stock compensation plan, then for a salary plus commission. He was compensated over $10,000 during the latter.
Unfortunately, Martinson did not open any new business or close business that was given to him to close. When asked for a plan for the region, he was unable to create one. In other words, we were financing his lifestyle in Cambodia while he didn't show any tangible results on behalf of the company.
Once our investors became aware of his past history of multiple jail sentences and consumer fraud, we had to let him go. Please review this article published by a local Atlanta paper before he left the country:

At that point, we asked for the hours that he worked while he was under contract (which he had not submitted previously). He estimated approximately 100 hours, but wanted to be paid in cash for the time he was under salary plus commission as well.
We offered to issue 5,000 shares of stock (100 hours@ 50 shares/hr) as we were obligated to do so under the contract, but he demanded cash for ALL the hours he worked while he was on salary and commission only.
He since threatened to extort us via creating several blogs to defame the company and has done so despite our attempts to remediate the situation. If he was allowed back in the country, we would sue him, but he won't for obvious reasons.
