Because it if was true, they would have offered you a publishing contract and you would not need to raise a cent.So you don't have a real publisher, you have a vanity publisher who is asking for all the money.

content: Keith,How are you any different than the "scammers" you have so vehemently gone after? You don't actually need the money, your answers to many of the questions on the campaign are not very serious, but you do genuinely appear to want people to put money into this thing - and it is really actually live and if people put money in, they will genuinely be charged on their credit card and the money given to you.So what is the difference? Intent? But good intent is what I've said (and you have agreed with) cannot be the basis for giving those seeking funding a free pass on not delivering or not being serious or respectful of the $$$ people are investing in them.

content: Quote from: Keef Wivanef on May 13, 2013, 06:13:03 amKeef,I think we do believe you. You are extremely passionate about this. Don't let our stirring get to you.The people damaged in the story may be outraged by the full truth. Your book may be useful to them. For everyone else, it is another story of a heavily promoted bad idea ripping off a lot of money. If the story is told with bitterness, it is not a good read.If you can put your own personal pain to one side and make the story a good read, you really have much more chance to get a wider readership. Humor would be very good way to highlight the issues. You cannot say that Green and Gold Energy were responsible for the losses of Emcore (unless Greg Watson was the principal of Emcore). It looks like Emcore lost the money very efficiently through their own endeavors and were probably extremely happy to be able to use G&GE in their fund-raising marketing strategy. They needed a good story, and that is what they got from G&GE.If the SA government is not chasing the grant money, it may be that they have been advised that the cost of retrieving anything will far exceed the money invested. You can attempt to embarrass government officials and politicians, but I cannot see that doing much good. It could attract a few more lawsuits, and we really don't want you to go through that again. The truth is we all know that governments and politicians are pretty incompetent and clueless at technology. It is not news. What to do about it, without adding more useless and ineffective red tape is the question.If your story can somehow teach people how to avoid loosing money for such investments in the future using your story as a guide, then it might be valuable and useful. There is a bigger picture behind this story and I really hope you can find it. I hope people can come away from your story thinking "I really learned something useful" instead of "I am shocked. I can't believe XXXXX was allowed to get away with this".Good luck with the book.QuoteI don't think anyone has a single bad word to say about the project. Several perhaps.Richard

content: Quote from: Keef Wivanef on May 12, 2013, 10:22:29 pmTwo points...1) I am positive the founders of this Mu Imager or the Pebble (both of which you have lambasted) would also say they are serious and respectful of their supporters, and that they will deliver.2) You say you are being serious and respectful (of the fact that people are putting their hard earned money in). Based on the answers you posted to questions on Indiegogo, "serious" and "respectful" are not the words that come to mind.For example:Point out your successful track record with projects like this (if you have one).I got it together once.I forgot where I put it.Make it real for people and build trust.I am real, you can trust me.Remind them to use the Indiegogo share tools!Try to remember........... what was that again?And that’s all there is to it.Whooo Hoooo!It appears that you are making a bit of a joke with the project. I think my feeling is confirmed by your statement that "I have already proven that ANYBODY can put up any kind of a proposal on Indiegogo and start receiving money from day one.".I'm not saying you are a scammer. I am just pointing out that, from my perspective, you have gotten so wrapped up in this Suncube thing from years ago and your resultant internet war against people seeking investments that you might have lost the plot a bit, and may even be emulating aspects of that which you detest so much in your seemingly scorched earth policy towards such folks.Just an observation - take it for what it's worth. But keep in mind that at least a few other users have raised similar complaints, and the forum owner has mentioned he's gotten numerous reports and complaints as well. I don't think that helps your cause... and your cause appears to be well intentioned and just - so it's a shame.

content: I do agree that the story should be told with a bit of humour.Without that it would beHere you go.... a sneak preview!Dear KeithDEFAMATION CLAIMAs you know, this matter was listed for further directions this morning before Justice Nicholas.I appeared on your behalf and the defendants were represented by Mr. Dawson.Prior to the hearing, Mr. Dawson informed me that the defendants’ solicitors had not heard from the defendants until the end of last week. Apparently, Mr. Watson is in Thailand and has beensubjected to a number of serious bouts of malaria. Based upon information provided to Mr. Dawson, that is the reason why the defendants have not yet filed a defence, and it is the reason why we have not heard further from the defendants’ solicitors.Mr. Dawson also informed me that he had been instructed that Mr. Watson would be returning to Australia in 2 weeks time and his instructions were that, upon Mr. Watson’s return, a defence was to be prepared, filed and served.In the circumstances, and notwithstanding the order made by the Court on 7 March 2011 and indeed, notwithstanding the order made on 5 October 2010 for the defendants to file a defence, Mr. Dawson advised that the defendants wanted a further, and inevitably final, opportunity within which to file a defence.Whilst the defendants’ failure to comply with previous orders is a matter of significance and importance, I had no doubt that the Judge would agree to grant to the defendants one further, and final, opportunity within which to file a defence. Accordingly, I discussed with Mr. Dawson proposed orders whereby the defendants would be given one further and final opportunity to file a defence and, if they did not do so, then judgment would be entered against the defendants without further consideration.In my view, but with some reluctance, that was the preferred course to take, rather than your having to incur the cost of a contested application for the defendants to be granted further time, particularly when, as I have indicated, my anticipation is that the Court would, albeit with some reluctance, grant to the defendants one further opportunity.As a consequence, I agreed the following orders with Mr. Dawson, and these orders were duly made:1. The defendants to file any defence on or before 2 May 2011.2. If they do not do so, then judgment is to be entered for you, for damages to be assessed.3. The matter be listed in the May Defamation List, specifically 9 May 2011, including for the purpose of a date being fixed for the assessment of damages in the event that the defendants fail to comply with order 1.4. The defendants pay your costs of today.Obviously, I am keen to progress this matter as quickly as possible, but am not in a position to do so until a defence has been filed and served. I anticipate that this the last opportunity that the defendants will have within which to take that step.Please let me know if you have any questions.RegardsYours sincerelySue Yerassoff & Associates“WHOOOOOO HOOOOOO” said Keef.He said it very quietly because Rapunzel was not totally enthusiastic about Keef’s unhealthy preoccupation with stirring up hornet’s nests, and had noticed that the cookie jar was looking rather depleted.Bing Bong BleepHello…..I’ve got mail….From: GreenandgoldenergyTo: KeefwivanefKeef, Never say I'm not a fair and compassionate man.

content: Keith although I understand your reasons for doing this but surely your pre-order investment loss was just one of the risks of being in business? you took a risk of not accessing a new technology properly yourself for potentially the gain of being one of the first to market these new systems, and to realize a nice profit over your competitors. Why should I pay to read some old ramblings of just another rip-off scheme just because someone who was in the game and fully understood the rules lost out?Now, if you'd historically researched all the best and most convincing tech swindlers over the years and then written an e-book about how to spot the tell-tale signs; with an introduction about your story etc surely that would be a better use of your time and my money?

content: There have been comments from some folks that the victims of the SunCube Scam and similar ones deserved to lose their money because they are greedy/stupid/did not do their homework.You have obviously not had any involvement with a good con-artistYou should read " Firepower"http://books.google.com.au/books/about/Firepower.html?id=wmbOdDZv4NwCand also "No one would listen" by Harry Markopoloshttp://www.amazon.com/No-One-Would-Listen-Financial/dp/0470919000Some victims of those scams committed suicide.Here is an email I received from a SunCube victimHi KeefNo good news for suncubes. Some have worked for a day or 2 and some have run for a few weeks, it’s a long way from what Greg claims, They started falling apart within 9 months of installation for which greg blames the Indian manufacturer, even though he has put in at least 20 hours on average on each suncube, Possibly closer to 30 hours, lens are falling out, again the fault of the Indians and now the lens maker. The list of excuses is endless. I believe if Greg wrote a book of excuses he would make more money that he ever can legitimately with the suncubes. Early days his true nature revealed he was always blaming others for his shortcomings and never taking responsibility himself, even though he put so many hours on each cube, when I realized his nature of blaming I did not touch or have any input into the cubes so he didn’t have any excuse to blame me. Many times when he could not sort the issues he would claim his Malaria had come back and had to run back to Australia, Once he claimed he picked up malaria in Bangkok, After I assured him that could not happen he came up with it was a type of malaria the reoccurs.He blamed external spiking for damage issues even though there were serious reliability issues when not connected to the grid. I have a theory some of the things that happened with the cubes were created by Greg to remove the blame from himself, evidence of that I will keep to myself in case it is needed in a court case that I will take against him.From the day the suncubes arrived here in Bangkok it has been a disaster, as well as the license fee it has cost me more that double that in buying parts for him , running him around, picking up and dropping him off, costs of setting up finance for projects with our bankers, not to mention my partners and my credibility with government departments and contractors.He hides behind the internet, wont talk on skype as he doesn’t want people who know the real story hear him telling lies, he wont return emails . he wont answer his phone, all he does is send text messages like a teenager which are attempts at stalling what he doesn’t realize the inevitable action against him.Some pics attached of the suncubes, or should I call them OFFsuncubes chasing birds or butterflies, everything except the sun. Note the bowing of the lens after new lens were installed by GregPeter

What goes around comes aroundLOL Mind you I never made it personal so they could never go me for defamation nor did they offer to compensate me financially but at least I got my message across and hopefully stopped others from going down the same pathNo book needed !! The power of the Internet is enoughregards

content: Quote from: Keef Wivanef on May 15, 2013, 11:56:46 pmMy quote was from "Moby Dick" - it's the famous last words of Captain Ahab as he is pulled to his death while in the final struggle with the whale, Moby Dick. Moby Dick, in a greater sense, is the story of a man who suffered an incident with an adversary that he lets so consume him that his whole life becomes a never ending quest for revenge. Captain Ahab is so consumed with hatred and a desire for revenge that he betrays his religion, his crew and even his own best interests to get his revenge. He ends up paying the ultimate price, and while he felt his cause was just, it turned out that Ahab was himself the tyrant, just as much as the one he waged his war against.I thought the analogy was poignant - but I doubt you will agree. In this case, you have become that which you claim to hate the most. Sad, and easily fixable, but likely never to happen.
