1 From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: Tuesday, September 30, 204 7:23 AM Inspector General Referrals to DOJ and FBI - Fraud Victim Is Galveston County Sheriff DOC IG Refers to DOJ.pdf; DOJ IG Referral to FBI Miami.pdf Galveston County Criminal District Attorney Jack Roady via facsimile (409) Galveston County Sheriff Henry Trochesset PLEASE FORWARD THIS City of Galveston Police Chief Henry Porretto HPorretto@cityofgalveston.org Galveston Police CID Captain Jeffrey Heyse - JHeyse@cityofgalveston.org Galveston County The Daily News Editor Herb Taylor - heber.taylor@galvnews.com Greetings from Costa Rica This information is at first glance a little difficult to believe. It is an example of how modern reliance on websites and internet databases can deceive law enforcement at the highest levels of the US Federal Government. Therefore, I have attached the US Department of Commerce Inspector General s letter that confirms his Office s criminal referral to the Dept. of Justice; and a second letter from the US Department of Justice Inspector General s Office of Investigations that confirms their referral to the FBI in Miami. If that s not enough you can call the FBI in Indianapolis, Indiana to confirm this criminal report. On May 28, 205 the Galveston County Sheriff will be visited by a person to conduct training in the use of the launchers and projectiles of the defunct Pepperball Technologies, Inc. (PTI). That person is an imposter and a co-conspirator of the successful business identity theft of PTI that ended on August 8, 204 at the level of sales to the US Federal Government. I put them out of business with over 300 Whistleblower Reports, Criminal Complaints, and Notices that started in August 203. Now I am cleaning up and putting the final coffin nails in the criminal scheme with notices to local law enforcement victims of the fraud and a Qui Tam lawsuit. SHORT VERSION OF THE FRAUD. In 200 PTI was going out of business fast with cash flow problems and being kicked out of public trading on the NASDAQ. 2. The owner of Perfect Circle Projectiles, Gary Gibson, and the owner of Tiberius Arms, Tyler Tiberius, were going to lose millions of dollars in sales. Gary made the pepper balls in Illinois and Tyler made the launchers in Indiana. Christin Lewis, the CFO of PTI and Karen Buchholz, the sales manager of PTI were going to lose their jobs. 3. The four of them planned carefully in the year 20 and in January 202 they closed PTI with a fake Securities and Exchange Commission Form 8-k, and started a near perfect impersonation of the closed PTI. Renewal of federal contracts using the D-U-N-S Number

2 and tax id number of PTI, formed a new company and made an assumed name filing in Indiana of Pepperball Technologies to process payments, a new fake website fake Dun and Bradstreet computer entries, renting the same office space, fraudulent trademark renewals at the patent office, etc. 4. From January, 202 until I stopped them they sold.7 million dollars in products to the Federal Government. While products and training were available from other sources they made no bid sole source sales at 90 % over dealer prices and laundered the money. Now they are looking at life in prison. 5. Tyler bailed out and sold the Indiana business created to process payments to Gary, and also sold Tiberius Arms LLC. Gary started a new company and is trying to continue the fraud. Karen Buchholz is still selling fake PTI training for Gary, and Christin Lewis found a new job. The person coming to do the training may be a man named Marty Parsons. He stalked me in Memphis, TN last year. If you have the training despite this report, please ask who they work for and tell the FBI in Indiana. When you talk to them they have a bullshit line that they own the trademark PEPPERBALL. The renewal at the USPTO is a fraud and the trademark is pending cancellation. They will either claim to be an independent contractor or an employee of Advanced Tactical Ordnance Systems LLC, or an employee of United Tactical Systems LLC. Both are continuing criminal enterprises and counterfeiters. If you want far superior training not conducted by criminals, it is available from Penn State University s Center for Community and Public Safety. They train the US Marine Corp. Complete details with public records that prove everything I say is true is on our website at Regards, Chris Edwards 2
