Hi Everyone, The scammers came through Barrie ON. in Aug. 2008 and
suckered us in too. We purchased 3 properties and have nothing to show
for it. We are very interested in getting our names added to any law
suit.
If anyone has any encouraging information we would love to hear it.

Hoping to hear from you,
Jeff and Kathy

Hi Jeff & Kathy
My wife & I are also from Barrie, we were also scammed in July 2008. We would also like our names  to be added to any law suit. I'm not holding my breath, I think GIW is long gone & our money with them. 
Malcolm

I posted a few months ago hoping to find a Canadian class action
lawsuit to join, and have seen lots of other people wanting to join a
Canadian class action as well. Suffice it to say that unless someone
on this board actually goes to see a lawyer, it's not going to happen.

See my older post indicating that I did have an e-mail exchange with a
lawyer in Toronto who was handling some sort of action against GIW,
but he said it was not a class action suit and he distinctly told me
that I could not join it. I have no idea what the results of his
actions against GIW were/are.

Is there anyone out there who is willing to make a call to a lawyer to
investigate this further?

On my tax return this year, I took my investment and claimed it as a
capital loss and have put this down on the books of life as a bad and
very expensive learning experience. Never again will I invest in
anything that requires me to run to the back of the room before
inventory is sold out. In hindsight...what on earth was I thinking???

Hi Nadia
We all got screwed. Unfortunately I believe this is lesson learned, though a very expensive one. I would check with a tax accountant regarding losses in the States.

Hi all:

For those of you in the US, contact Victor Sipos at (801) 860-3444 to see if
you can still join the class action lawsuit.

For those of you outside of US, in Canada for example, some of you just need
to be more proactive, step up and make calls to some lawyers and see if they
can help.

Wendy

I'm with many of you. I think the money is gone, and I'm going to be
writing it off as a capital loss this year. I've come to accept the
fact that these f**kers scammed us for A LOT of money, and we're
highly unlikely to see a penny of it returned to us. I'm more
concerned now to see fraudsters like Brad Hess rot in jail for a
while.

If you haven't already done so, go to the SEC website and file a
compaint. The more complaints they receive about Brad Hess and GIW,
the more likely it is they'll do something about it.

I plan on writing mine off as a bad debt as well.  I think the chances of getting any money back are very slim and even if there was any money to be had there won’t be anything left by the time a Canadian lawsuit is entertained.  I was under the impression I was going to be included in the US class action so didn’t pursue anything else….it doesn’t sound like a Cdn lawyer is willing to do it as a class action and I have no intention of spending good money to hire a lawyer to chase a dead end.  I would consider putting out a bit of money to put them away before I’d do that.  I’ve already put in a complaint into the SEC a long time ago but these guys stole millions and wonder what someone has to do before they are held accountable

Did anyone record the live event in Los Angeles in 2006 or 2007 where Harv introduced FIC & Mike Lathigee?
 
Please let me know asap.
 
Thank you,
Wendy

Wendy, did you dig through youtube? There are some clips in there and Lathigee even posted some of his own stuff at some points. I hope you find this!
