Criminal Fraud exposed in Minneapolis FDA. Small Canadian company needs help.
Investor needed. Investor offer first, entire story following TL/DR at bottom....here we gooooooooo......

But because everyone will naturally suspect someone asking for money, how about an alternative?

In our company case we're one step away from a legal settlement for an incident that happened in 2006.

The investment offer or request is, we have an industry report compiled for the year 2005 and need something for 2010 to use for legal purposes. We need a report that is on the regulated industry players within the herbal industry. We need numbers specific on the erectile dysfunction category.

These reports are usually around 5 to 10,000 dollars. If interested investors feel better about procuring this as opposed to money deal please contact us.

If there are companies that do this sort of work already and interested in providing these for a nicer return beyond report value at our settlement, please contact us.

We are very willing to negotiate a handsome reward for those who can get this data to us or those that are willing to defer its costs.

If there isn't a place like that already, I reserve the idea for posterity and call it Bizswap or something like that :) copyright.

I'm going to try craigslist, do some angel investment sites if anyone has any other suggestions how I can best pitch this feel free to pass them on.

Thanks for reading.
Here's the story below.
If you don't like long stories, don't read. I can't summarize 5 years into less than a readers digest amount, but I can get close to that.

2006. Our Canadian operation is on it's way to almost two million in sales by our second year when we get a call from a health food store we distribute to telling us they have a FDA issued warning letter with our product name mentioned.

You can't imagine the icy cold that runs through the veins.
The store owner forwards me the email.

Long story short, the FDA purchased a brown box of 'pills' from a US website run by a company called Access Financial. We get a copy of the reprimand letter the FDA sent to the company when we call the FDA to ask what is going on.
We're a Health Canada licensed company in Canada, wholesaling tested and regulated herbal product. Not affiliated in anyway.

It turns out this Access group is just one of a boom of web businesses originating worldwide selling generics in all sorts of misleading ways in the US and elsewhere. This includes selling whatever is on hand all the way to using named products in counterfeit manner to offload generics.

It's a successful model because most won't contact authorities when they believe they have received a different drug then the one they tried to buy illegally or in most cases too embarrassed to disclose revealing illnesses or for that matter find any contact information from these sites to take action against.

In the end it means a sizeable proliferation of these businesses appearing all over the internet.

In some cases (ours) these operators are using high profile product names and making a counterfeit package with the generics inside.

There's big money in ripping people off on the net with generics.
According to some insiders I've talked to over the years, if a pain killer is all they have on hand. Doesn't matter what you bought, you'll get a pain killer. It's all about moving numbers.

Awhile back before all the garbage happened to us, we got a phone call from some guy who was supposed to be a big shot in Florida in the adult industry.

He's impressed with the reputation we're getting in Canada and wants to talk about using our product tagged onto a series of lubes.

We told him what the base costs were and he told us 'are you fucking serious? I can get generic Viagra for 2 cents a pill...your product was the add on!'

For most the players in ‘herbal products’ in the US it’s about passing generics, consumer safety boils down to about 2 cents a pill.

So that’s the situation and recognizing how bad it was becoming the FDA stepped in with a brand new program to clean it up and in the first sweep they did, picked up something named after us in Canada and thought it was what it was and press released that.

Health Canada jumped that morning of the release with HPFBI Inspectors contacting our sub distributors and advertising outlets.
Yeah, they actually phoned the national magazine we were advertised in and threatened them to take the ad off the next run.

Then everyone finds out the product was counterfeit.

The phone call with the Minneapolis FDA lawyer and their ‘scientists’ that first week of that FDA press release is still a vivid memory. We’re asking them via conference call, ‘what state were the samples in?'

They answer, 'Brown box, loose white pills.'

The lawyer, who refers to himself as Bill Mcgonagle (sp?) is telling us there is no contact info on the box, they couldn't contact us to do a follow up.

So here we are on the phone with the FDA and they are telling us that they picked up a box with our name on it from a company in California and it's a complete different colour with loose white pills shaking in the bottom.

....we're blister sealed capsules with herbal ingredients, far from pressed white pills.

It’s pretty obvious what happened. What happened next though, was something not one of us expected.

It would take half a year for them to come up with a different contamination theory altogether. It would take both the FDA and Health Canada working together to finally settle on a molecule that was never before known to the industry and has never been seen since.

We were made to fit the crime.

There is four years of investigation that follows this and we’ll sum up the nonsense in one paragraph. There were legal and political advocates demanding investigations. There was the Access to Information files with emails from Health Canada’s secret TPL labs admitting to burning retention times to give spikes to fit theories. In 2008 the FDA quietly published their custom molecule with the admission it couldn’t be replicated for footprint analysis and of course in 2010 the Director General of Health Canada written admission they never got this molecule or performed a test with it.

Today, the FDA continues regular testing of products from US websites.....they now recognize the counterfeit problem in their warning letters they issue on the web, they didn't in our case.

This would mean they would have had to change their public press release, perhaps they couldn’t do this, which leaves us with acknowledging they had made a mistake.

This might be the reason we had a lawyer for the FDA call us back and not a head of control or head of science, or even an inspector for that matter.

In any case it was always curious to us why a ‘lawyer’ in this issue called us back first and was the last person we heard from afterwards.

The industry reports were seeking and asking for publicly in this offer are important. <i>The lawyers our lawyers will be meeting will be justice department types; they're not going to cut a settlement cheque based on an evaluation that mentions anything industry assumed.</i>

We have an industry report for 2005 but need something from 2010 ideally. We need the report to be on the herbal industry and specific information on the sexual dysfunction market.

We don't want to go to court, it's not like it is on TV or in the movies. It's not a natural easy going progression where someone just comes along and 'gets you there'.

In TV and movies it's a life of its own, it's just happens no matter what. We wish. Reality is you need money to get to court, not the illusion people have of money to be in court.

Your lawyers don't spend 5-10000 dollars out of their credit cards to buy these reports. They're ready to go, liabilities for litigation identified a year ago when we had just enough to retain them.

You don't have the war chest left to keep a fight going. They the government never runs out of resource and time. You get old and poor they don't.

This is reality.

Also getting this settlement done here in Canada is important from the standpoint of we can’t begin an investigation into the fraud that occurred in the FDA that started all of this until this is done.

Finding the bastards responsible for this is something we’ve wanted to do for sometime now but have had to patiently wait.
