I've known Chris Pedras since October 2006. I thought he was a pretty good businessman until he ripped me off. Before you place your hard earned money in one of his programs you may want to read this.

Hi Chris
Thank you for your email requesting information about Maxum Gold Bank Limited and Chris Pedras.
We have checked the website of Maxum Gold Bnk Limited at http://maxumgoldbnk.com. We note that this website has a number of spelling and grammar errors, contains untrue statements (as discussed below), and the contact us page provides only an email address.
The disclaimers page of the website states Maxum Gold Bnk Holdings Limited ; is an Escrow Fiduciary under Federal Regulations contained with the New Zealand Companies Act of 2010. There is no New Zealand Companies Act 2010 and an Escrow Fiduciary is not a legal entity under New Zealand companies law. The about us page of the website contains references to the New Zealand Federal Reserve Bank System and the New Zealand Securities Exchange Commission, which do not exist, and to federal oversight and auditing when New Zealand is not a federation.
We attach Companies Office records for Maxum Gold Bnk Limited, which show that the company was incorporated on 23 July 2010. Antone Thomas Pedras is listed as the sole shareholder and director and has provided an address in California. The New Zealand address of Maxum Gold Bnk Limited appears to be an advisers office. We are not aware that Maxum Gold Bnk Limited has any physical presence in New Zealand.
In any event, registration of a company with the New Zealand Companies Office simply records the basic incorporation details about a company and does not ensure that a company is meeting its legal requirements nor does it indicate the success of a companys activities. The Companies Office register can be searched free of charge at www.business.govt.nz/companies.
We have found what appears to be a Tongan Court of Appeal decision involving Maxam Gold Bank Limited and Christopher Antone Thomas Pedras, which is available at www.vanuatu.usp.ac.fj/.../Maxam_Gold_v_Laidlaw_(Judgment).html. You may wish to review this.
We strongly recommend that you seek independent advice from practitioners experienced in securities law and investments before entering into the proposed transaction.
We trust these comments are of assistance.
Kind regards
Nicole Henwood Solicitor
