I've been a stock holder of the movie studio for years (MVES).  

In the beginning the idea of investing in a movie studio sounded good and fun cause who doesn't like to watch movies or better yet be part of it but I was very WRONG.

Gordon Scott Venters seems like nice guy but what good CON ARTIST isn't, he'll talk your ears off about the fabulous life he's living and how rich you'll become investing with his FAKE movie studio.  

-When i first invested they had just changed the name from "destination television" to "the movie studio, inc" that already should've been a reg flag for any investor.  Then i would get calls all the time about the 3 movies they were about to make for me to invest even more money to get points in said movies in the form of "VCP1", "VCP2", "VCP3" so I did cause so far everything seemed fine.

-The first movie "Exposure" is a very very BAD MOVIE that looks like it's done by a couple of middle school children. I dare anyone to try to watch this horrible movie.  The movie never went to the theatre nor can you find it on any video on demand (VOD) services, he says the DVD is in best buy, target, walmart ect web sites but the last time i checked they still have the same amount of inventory with no copies sold at any sites even after being on sale for more than a year and forget about going to the store to pick one up cause no stores in the US carry it.  So  because of this i did not see any money for my investment in VCP.

-After the disaster of the VCPs Gordon Scott Venters decided to split the stock of MVES.  I have never heard of a company that has no income, failed projects, bad reportings, no growth whatsoever splitting stocks.  The last time i checked you have to be in a growing business for a stock splitt to make sense or work, i'm baffled the FCC let this happen.  BTW there is no more VCP, gordon got rid of them and gave every VCP investor usless stock of MVES.

-There latest movie Bad Actress starring a very old, untalented, no name actress called Excelina Ordonez is another of there scam.  It's been in production for more then a year with no end in sight.  Everytime i talk to gordon he tries to explain to me how well the movie is doing and that after more then a year the movie is only 50% completed with 90 days left for complition, he's giving me that same line since june of 2015.  I'm no movie expert but does a romantic comedy take 2 years to make. Also for a movie that's only 50% complete how in heck does it have 3 trailers.

-The worst part about this scam is the stupidity between Gordon and his so called very old star Excelina.  I found out trough inside sources that her whole lifestyle is being paid by the movie studio witch gets all of it's money trough investors like me. Let me make this clear she has an apartment, a new cadillac, new iphone 6s, personall web site, cloths, trips, food, pocket money all paid for by the movie studio.  Gordon's house is in forclousure, bills are pilling up but for some reason Excelina has all of hers paid in full and on time.  This has been going on for about 4 years now with her getting about $60,000.00 a year for shooting a couple scenes a month and sometime none at all for months, not bad for a no name actress with no talent. 

I urge all Investors to contact Gordon Scott Venters and confront him about this.

As a person who worked for DTV duting the time Matthew Shaugnessy worked there I can say that his claims are completely unfounded!!!!! I have no interest in defending anyone or address any specific issue at hand. What I can say is that I personally witnessed Matthew using Crystal Meth while at work, he stole several  plasma TV"s and the stole the company RV and took it to California and had to have the police called on him to repossess company property and was then subsequently fired for his drug use and unprofessional actions. Funny how he has the balls to come here and point the finger at people claiming drug use.....when your smoking meth and stealing compay vehicle's to support your drug habit. Then gets disgruntled when he gets fired. Dont forget to always consider the source. Matt is a drug addict that got fired by Scott nothing more.

Although I am a proponent of 1^st amendment rights, as the President and CEO of a publicly traded company and representing over 430 shareholders, please accept the following as my official personal material statements of fact in regards to the statements and allegations:

1). I have never been arrested or charged with insider trading nor convicted of a felony as the inferenced actions would prevent me from operating a publicly traded Company. The statement are libel, slandereous, baseless and completely without merit.

2). Allegations of unprofessionalism on location; The Company just completed its first movie with distribution in Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon etc. and reached mainstream distribution reflected by the professional grade location content (Product) we delivered at the locations filmed. A professional grade product could not be delivered from unprofessional grade location filming.

3). Allegations of drug use is completely libel and slander and has no place on rip-off report as they have no association to ripping off anyone and we intend to take actions towards the parties responsible for the statements or allowing the information to be disseminated and distributed on the internet on their platform. I have not been convicted of any felony drug use activities and the statements and allegations are libel, slandereous, baseless and completely without merit.

4). The recent post by Matthew Shaughnessy from over 8 years ago as he was a disgruntled independent contractor terminated with cause. The statements and allegations made by Mr. Shaughnessy are completely libel, slandereous, baseless and without merit as evidenced in my response to items 1 & 3 respectively.

5). After being featured in Forbes and The New York Times and other financial and regulatory SEC filings, these false statements and allegations by design are intended to negatively impact my image and reputation, third party participants and participation as well as in-directly negatively impact shareholder equity and residual value while preventing new equity and strategic partner participants in our Company.

My name is Matthew Shaughnessy. I worked for Gordon Scott Ventures and DSTV back when it was known as magic media networks and had the networks BAR T.V., GYM T.V. and HOTEL T.V.

My time their was a HUGE JOKE! I felt extremly dirty working under and for Gordon Scott Ventures. I saw many questionable things take place including drug use! Scott as we called him would instruct us to attack the local demograph with agression to sighn new locations. 

He would instruct us on how to pitch people and business using BIG words and statements like PRODUCT PLACEMENT and ADVERTSING AT THE POINT OF PURCHASE.  

Drug use was constant GORDON SCOTT VENTERS particulary enjoys cocaine and marijuana. I know because his face turned beat red when I confronted him about it in his office at the top of my voice while the door was open. Yes gordan was busted for insider trading and if you google him further you will also find that he was busted for taking money from a elderly widow for a bogus penny stock.

GORDON SCOTT VENTERS and his companies and the people with whom associate with him are your typical everyday washed up con artist with whom know nothing else other than how to make money off of other peoples money. YOUR money. BEWARE FLORIDA!!!! listen to these people with whom complain.

Based off of the complaint i just read it looks like scott hs done what he does best. He has kept his company ever changing so that he can stay one step ahead. when I was working for him we would place T.V.s in bars and hotels and sell them on point of purchase and product placement all the while taking their money and real estate and cashing out. BEWARE FLORIDA
