It would be more accurate to say "re the sale of Game Theory and Excapsa Services, the companies that provided and ran the software that powered UB."

There are two lots of Excapsa shares coming from unnamed shareholders. One, the smaller amount, will be cancelled. I'm not sure this is being applied against any specific debt. The larger amount will be used as security against a portion of the money Blast Off still owes to Excapsa (not UB). I think that means they get cancelled if Blast Off defaults.

Excapsa is the previous provider of the software that ran UB. As I understand it, the name "UB" and the website used to belong to eWorld Holdings before Norton acquired them.

The rest of your summaries seems fine. Wish I was as concise as you!

i've asked this a couple of time but no answer.

is there any question about Pierson being a major shareholder in UB ?

because if so, thats not what he told me directly several years ago. i posted a brief summary of my conversations with him over on this thread

Assuming that what Boston0407 reported about exhibit J is accurate, and I have no reason to doubt that it is, then it seems likely that Pierson (and maybe some family members?) owns a major chunk of Excapsa. Excapsa is the company that bought the software from ieLogic, Pierson's old firm.

I'm going to see if I can get my hands on a copy of the missing exhibits. Hope to know more tomorrow.

IOW Pierson seems to have sold to himself, and some friends.

Remember that Excapsa was first incorporated in British Columbia, which is just across the border from Washington State, making it the closest Canadian location to ieLogic's former office.

like i said in my post on the other thread, in late 2003, Pierson explained to me on the phone the structure he used to obsifcate his ownership in UB (as he was a US citizen and owning a gamblig sites was and still is illegal)

also he was interviewed and it aired during season 1 or 2 whe WPT used to cover Aruba. he was presented as representing UB

peaceout- I don't think there is a whole lot of doubt any more about his ownership interests. See also the last post in Kevmath's sticky that links to an article roy cooke wrote about Pierson being a principal founder.

I was asking back in the AP threads what possible connection there could be between him and the mess even though there was little to tie him directly at the time.

thanks. I havent been following it, and just assumed that it was understood he was owner.

I wish there was a way to pull up very old AOL emails, cuz i think he and I exchanged a few emails on the structures he had set up to obsficate his ownership

Pg 119 in the PDF is from "The Desert Palm Irrevocable Trust" and they have 4,304,720 shares. It is signed by a trustee "NIcholas Mazzela?" and witnessed by "Lisa Baccara?". What is more interesting though is the fax header it came in on. It seems that it was first faxed by Iovation Inc. and then was subsequently faxed by Ted Forrest. On page 125 "The Clearwater Irrevocable Trust" with 2,487,088 has the same fax headers and the same witness but is signed by Steve Weiss.

I understand why the fax is coming from iovation inc. (because Melissa Gaddis is one of the inspectors and is now working for iovation) but why are they both going to Ted Forrest's personal fax?

FYI: That link now returns "Sorry, we couldn't find this file."

The complete Mintz Report link, http://www.divshare.com/download/5684515-1fa, still works.
