Cornelius and Special Agent Gary Hartwig: We are writing to complain that the Cincinnati, Ohio based business Less Lethal LLC and its Managing Member Mr. Richard Juell, is selling counterfeit products of the defunct Pepperball Technologies Incorporated (PTI). We respectfully request that an arrest be made and the items seized so we can use the example to aid criminal prosecution in Costa Rica of a business known as Industrial Fire and Rescue Equipment, S.A. (IFR). IFR is a Costa Rica reseller that sold 162,000 counterfeit PTI pepper balls to the Ministerio de Justicia y Paz after entering into a public bid in 2013 with fraudulent documents. We have attached as Exhibit A the web page of Less Lethal LLC showing a red letter P inside a black circle followed by the word PepperBall with the registered trademark symbol ( There is no such registration with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). According to the criteria of the Treasury Manual of Examining Procedure, attached as Exhibit B, the use of this fake trademark on the Less Lethal LLC website constitutes fraud.

2 IMPORTACIONES GAMBOA S.A. (IMGASA) TEL FAX PAGINA WEB CORREO ELECTRONICO Exhibit C is the type of publicity that would be useful to our company in explaining the fraud to government officials in Costa Rica. PRIOR COMPLAINTS AND ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS We have filed numerous Whistleblower Reports and Criminal Complaints regarding the ongoing criminal conspiracy and counterfeiting operation of Advanced Tactical Ordnance Systems LLC (ATO) of Fort Wayne, Indiana. ATO is Less Lethal LLC s supplier of the counterfeit items. Our website at has a link to our web page dedicated to providing PDF copies of our major complaints. The dedicated web page is at this link A number of investigations of ATO at the federal level are in progress. For example, the FBI and the US Attorney General in Indianapolis, Indiana; the Inspector General s Office of the General Services Administration; and the US Department of Justice (as a criminal investigation referral from the Inspector General s Office of the US Department of Commerce (IGDOC)). The IGDOC complaints are related to fraud upon the US Patent and Trademark Office and / or illegal exports of controlled pepper spray powder. KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONSPIRACY AND CRIMINAL COUNTERFEITING Mr. Richard Juell was provided evidence that his supplier ATO was a criminal enterprise by delivery of some printed material and a DVD on January 27, The printed material is available on our website as a PDF file. Attached as Exhibit D is delivery confirmation to Mr. Juell. While it is possible that Mr. Juell was convinced by ATO that our claims lack merit, it is more likely that he has now joined the conspiracy to save the part of his business that depends on sales of PTI products. In any event, it is a fact that there are no products of PTI that are genuine because at this point the company has been out of business 2 ½ years. Based on our research, Mr. Juell s choice to join ATO in the fraud makes him criminally liable for at least eight of the thirteen federal offenses of ATO as shown on the attached Exhibit E. PROFESSIONAL CON-ARTIST PATHOLOGY AND THE END OF THE TRADEMARK DECEPTIONS There is a bizarre professional con-artist mental illness of the conspirators at ATO. They are fully aware that we have exposed them and that they are being investigated. Yet, their fake website is still up and running, and sales continue to appear on One reason we believe they continue to operate is that their cover stories have been successful. For example, they told our company they had bought Pepperball in bankruptcy. They have also submitted falsified documentation to attempt to have the trademarks PEPPERBALL and PEPPERBALL.COM assigned to ATO. And, they have even had the nerve to claim that they have trademark rights in a lawsuit against Real Action Paintball, Inc.

3 IMPORTACIONES GAMBOA S.A. (IMGASA) TEL FAX PAGINA WEB CORREO ELECTRONICO As a strong example of their success - amazingly - even after we notified the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) about the PTI business identify theft, the criminals still appeared in person at the SHOT Show Our notice to the NSSF is on our webpage. However, their cover stories have now become undone in the sense of the conspirators having proof of any intellectual property rights (like a copy of a lawsuit in process or a pending trademark assignment). The lawsuit against Real Action Paintball, Inc. has been dismissed, and their false filings with the USPTO have fallen apart. Exhibit F is the dismissal of the lawsuit so they can no longer claim they are suing to defend their intellectual property rights. The PEPPERBALL trademark s status is Cancellation Pending as shown on the USPTO s website pasted below: Name: Advanced Tactical Ordinance Systems, LLC Correspondence: MICHELLE C BURKE McDERMOTT WILL AND EMERY LLP 227 W MONROE STREET CHICAGO, IL UNITED STATES mburke@mwe.com, lbalsan@mwe.com Serial #: Application File Registration #: Application Status: Cancelled - Section 8 Mark: PEPPERBALL Serial #: Application File Registration #: Application Status: Cancellation Pending Mark: PEPPERBALL Our company has filed numerous Whistleblower Reports / Criminal Complaints with the USPTO. We also wrote all known creditors a warning that they were going to be sued in a Qui Tam action. Please see our warning as Exhibit G. In response, Agility Capital LLC filed a trademark assignment to a non-existent legal entity. So presently there is no legal assignment of any trademark pepperball to any legal entity or natural person whatsoever. The USPTO website is again pasted below.

FORT WAYNE, INDIANA Entity Type: CORPORATION Citizenship: DELAWARE Correspondent: ERIN O'BRIEN C/O COOLEY LLP 4401 EASTGATE MALL SAN DIEGO, CA COSTA RICA AND INTERNATIONAL NEED FOR A USA ARREST AND SEIZURE The fraud is in many countries other than the United States. We have found resellers claiming to sell PTI products in South Africa, Australia, Peru, Chile, and Panama. We have attached a notated internet search result as Exhibit H. Starting with Costa Rica the fraud and counterfeiting must be exposed. Thus far one question has been common in Costa Rica when we discuss the fraud: If the fraud has been reported, why are they still in business in the USA? Our answer has been to point out that the legal process in the USA can be slow. We point out that the Ponzi scheme of Bernie Madoff continued for 3 ½ years after the first reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that the PTI fraud may involve as many as 35 people in 4 states. But the situation with Less Lethal LLC and Mr. Juell is much simpler. If he can be stopped and a press release issued, the information will certainly be very useful as confirmation that our complaints are justified. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Christopher M.

VictorAlcorn.com 1 / 1 1 TRENDING NOW A pair of Long Island brothers cooked up millions of dollars worth of knockoff health products like Vaseline, baby oil, ChapStick and Vicks VapoRub and the items ended up on store shelves as the real thing The sophisticated operation described as the largest-ever uncovered in the US had five manufacturing facilities that pumped out the bogus concoctions, which included potentially dangerous versions of the popular, over-the-counter products. Investigators raided locations in Franklin Square, Oceanside, Freeport and Valley Stream Thursday and needed four tractor-trailer trucks to haul off fake products worth more than $2 million, authorities said. Health and beauty products like lip balms, oils, shampoos and inhalers are highly regulated in order to protect consumers, but these defendants are charged with going around those protections and stealing the brands of major corporations that comply with the law, DA Kathleen Rice said Ringleaders Pardeep Malik, 59, of Plainview and Hamant Mullick, 60, of Franklin Square were charged with felony trademark counterfeiting and were being held on $100,000 bonds. The brothers employed about 20 people in the ring. Hamant Mullick Photo: VictorAlcorn.com The lucrative racket was only uncovered after a fire broke out in April 2013 at the brothers Valley READ Stream NEXT: location.

10 Case: Document: 35 Filed: 05/09/2014 Pages: 13 In the United States Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit No ADVANCED TACTICAL ORDNANCE SYSTEMS, LLC, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. REAL ACTION PAINTBALL, INC., and K.T. TRAN, Defendants-Appellants. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division. No. 1:12-CV-296-JVB Joseph S. Van Bokkelen, Judge. ARGUED JANUARY 7, 2014 DECIDED MAY 9, 2014 Before WOOD, Chief Judge, and POSNER and KANNE, Circuit Judges. WOOD, Chief Judge. Some readers of our opinions may be familiar with paintball, a type of war game in which the players shoot charges of paint at one another. Paintballs, it turns out, are not the only kind of nonlethal projectile that can be used in this way. Our case concerns a more serious product, known to Advanced Tactical Ordnance Systems

11 Case: Document: 35 Filed: 05/09/2014 Pages: 13 2 No (Advanced Tactical) by the name PepperBall (a ball filled with a pepper-spray-like irritant). Police departments, private security firms, and comparable organizations are the primary consumers of these items. This is a trademark infringement action, brought by Advanced Tactical against a company that calls itself Real Action Paintball, Inc., and its president, K.T. Tran. (We refer to both as Real Action, because there is no material difference between the company and its president for purposes of this appeal.) Although the parties have focused in their briefs on the preliminary injunction the district court granted, we have a more fundamental problem with the case. We conclude that the district court lacked personal jurisdiction over defendant Real Action, which preserved its objection on this point. We therefore reverse and remand with directions to dismiss on that basis. Advanced Tactical manufactures and sells PepperBall branded items, including PepperBall projectile irritants. Its headquarters is allegedly in Indiana, though that is less clear than it might be the company appears to have at least one office in California. It became the manufacturer and seller of PepperBall-branded items in 2012 after it acquired trademarks and other property in a foreclosure sale from a company called PepperBall Technologies Inc. PepperBall Technologies Inc. was located in California. Before the foreclosure, PepperBall Technologies had purchased its irritant projectiles from at least two sources: Perfect Circle, half owner of Advanced Tactical, and a Mexican company called APON. After Advanced Tactical acquired PepperBall Technologies, I

12 ** NOTICE TO QUI TAM DEFENDANTS ** What you see below is our webpage that exposes a fraud upon the United States. Under the False Claims Act we are filing a lawsuit. Because you are a creditor that has remained silent and not enforced your UCC Financing Statement lien on ALL patents and trademarks, we are suing you. We assume you are part of a profit sharing deal with Benjamin Tyler Tiberius, Gary Gibson, Christin Lewis, Karen Buchholz, and Eric Bratten. See the trademark PDFs on to see your UCC filing if you really don t know. We do not want innocent people hurt, so we offer this advice: Go to the FBI with a criminal defense attorney and try to negotiate immunity. Tell them everything. Do it before Tyler Tiberius does it. We know of a case where a methamphetamine dealer photographed 237 smaller dealers who bought from him and re-sold. He got off and all 237 people got 3 ½ years or more in prison.
