Steve Maxfield Is On Board With Fox News, New York, Rick Koerber attempts to recruit "Delegates" and the Fraud Continues! By Robert Paisola

To Our Readers Around the World,

Today, we received a call from a Private Investigator named Steve Maxfield. Steve is a person who has gone to battle in the past and is currently in litigation with Rick Koerber due to losses that his clients have faced.

We are very sympathetic to the victims of Rick Koerber, and this is why we are stepping up to the plate to continue to help you.

As many of you are aware, Fox News in New York City is doing a story on C. Rick Koerber and Franklin Squires. Until today, we were not aware of Steve Maxfields involvement with Franklin Squires.

As a result of the story that appeared in the Salt Lake City Weekly, as well as information on this and many other forums around the world, including FranklinSquiresLawsuit.com The National Media is swarming to see the details of this story.

So, during our conversations with Mr. Maxfield, we are told that the only way to get Rick Koerber on the phone is to call his attorney. So that is what we did. We called an attorney in Utah named Blake T. Ostler. His office number is 801-575-5000 and his cell phone is 801-573-9756.

During the call we stated that we wanted to get Koerber and Gabe Joseph in line for the New York shoot, This attorney, who is supposed to represent Koerber was a complete ASS. He stated that there would be no interview with Koerber on Fox and hung up. Well, thank God you have us to spread your voice!

We relayed this to FOX and they are going to run the story without Koerbers input.

To this, we ask the Free Capitalist, "What in the hell do you have to hide?" Well, we are going to start to post all of the documents that we have received as a result of the investigation by Steve Maxfield.

Here is an interesting email that was just sent to us by a Koerber supporter that we have agreed to not name, as he is providing us with a plethora of information, and in in Koerbers Circle:

Subject: Are you available to help?

March 25, 2008

I am working on a project today of very high importance. I am hoping
you'd be interested in helping make this an enormous success. Here's
what's going on.

Tonight at 7pm is when Republicans and Democrats in Utah will be holding
caucus meetings where delegates are elected in local precincts to attend
the County and State conventions. I am trying to get an extremely large
number of 'freedom and prosperity' minded individuals to

1) attend their caucus meeting and

2) get elected as a *State* delegate.

I cannot explain how important these positions are and sadly, many
Utahans just take local government for granted.

This is where real people and real politics meet. This is a simple yet
vital way to contribute to our community and to advance the agenda of
freedom and prosperity.

It is NOT difficult to do this, the hardest part is to get over the
anxiety of having not done it before. Here is how it works.

1. You identify the voting precinct where you live and where your caucus
will meet - look here.


For Utah County Caucuses.

For Salt Lake County Caucuses.

For other counties check with your County Clerk.

2. Work for the rest of the day today to bring as many friends and
supports as possible (even if its just family and friends in the
neighborhood) who live in the same precinct who will VOTE for you.
Remember you are RUNNING FOR OFFICE as a state delegate.

3. Prepare a short 2 to 3 minutes 'persuasive speech' to deliver at the
caucus meeting. The speech should be a summary of your views -
specifically related to the US Constitution, Freedom, Limited
Government, Prosperity etc.

4. Start right now calling everyone you know in your neighborhood,
inviting them to come.

5. Arrive at the caucus meeting early - say at least 6:30p.

6. When the time comes have someone nominate you (this should be
arranged in advance so the opportunity is not missed, generally you are
not allowed to nominate yourself).

7. Give your speech, when recognized, stand up and be calm, deliver your
message and be confident that by doing so you will get enough votes to
become a state DELEGATE.

8. *Email me* and let me know what happened and tell me briefly about
your success.

So, that's it. It is NOT difficult. BUT this is not something most
people do.

THIS IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT than just casting a ballot this November.
Like minded people have an opportunity to REALLY AFFECT their government
and their community.

We have an AMAZING opportunity and its TONIGHT!

*Will you help?* If you are willing to help, here is what I'm asking for.

1. Will you run as a delegate and do steps 1-8 above? (The only excuse
for not doing so is if there is someone else in your precinct who you
support as like minded and very capable).
2. Will you recruit others to come to your precinct meeting and vote for
you or the person you support?
3. Will you help me spread the word and get friends and like minded
associates in other PRECINCTS to do the same. This means using email,
making telephone calls and MAKING THIS A PRIORITY right now!
4. Will you keep me informed via email so I can track our progress and
in turn keep you informed.

Let's make a HUGE difference. Let's do something that matters.

Let me know if 'YOU'RE IN' by emailing me back and confirming your
intentions tonight.

I look forward to hearing back from you immediately.


Sincerely,

C. Rick Koerber
CEO/Founder
Free Capitalist Project

So as you can see, C. Rick Koerber, the CEO and FOUNDER of Free Capitalist Project / Free Capitalist Foundation and Free Capitalist Enterprises, LLC is attempting to use the legislative system to hide the wrongs of the money that he stole. Hell, lets just have all of my followers run as delegates! I will even tell them what to say "Prepare a short 2 to 3 minutes 'persuasive speech' to deliver at the caucus meeting. The speech should be a summary of your views -specifically related to the US Constitution, Freedom, Limited Government, Prosperity etc" Drink the Cool Aid My Sheep!

We also just received information that Rick Koerber is re branding "Prosperity Quest" as the new Franklin Squires.

As many of you know, our servers are co-located around the world, including here in Mexico and all over in 21 different countries, so take this post and feel free to repost this around the world.

Finally, we want to again thank the many people who have provided us the information and data to essentially close Franklin Squires. Look at the photos at www.FranklinSquiresLawsuit.com .... Oh, we mean "scale back" LOL

So, keep sending the information to investigations@FranklinSquiresLawsuit.com and if you are a member of the media, please respond to mediarelations@robertpaisola.com and one of our representatives will contact you shortly.

Oh, and do our readers really believe that the message from the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that was read from the pulpit around the United States was a mere coincidence? Be real people, and as Rick Koerber himself says...

Turn on your brain, and look at the facts!

From Mexico with Love,

The LDS Church Responds Worldwide in Light of Franklin Squires Fraud, By Robert Paisola

Dear Mr. Robert Paisola

In my Church on Sunday, March 16, the following was read. My first thoughts when I heard it was that word of Franklin Squires had reached LDS headquarters. A link to the Deseret News article has more details: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,695261200,00.html

In the letter, the First Presidency says that “reports of fraud schemes and unwise investments prompt us to again counsel members with respect to prudence in managing one’s financial affairs.” They also stated that they are “concerned that there are those who use relationships of trust to promote risky or even fraudulent investment and business schemes.”

“We are concerned that some church members ignore the oft-repeated direction to prepare and live within a budget, avoid consumer debt, and to save against a time of need.”
“Consideration should also be given to investing wisely with responsible and established financial institutions. We are also concerned that there are those who use relationships of trust to promote risky or even fraudulent investment and business schemes.”

“While all investments carry an element of risk, that risk can be managed by following sound and proven financial principles: first, avoid unnecessary debt, especially consumer debt; second, before investing, seek advice from a qualified and licensed financial advisor; and third, be wise.”

This is a full copy of the Article including the First Presidency Message from NBC

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has sent a letter to its congregations, urging members to be wary of fraud.

In the letter being read in churches, the First Presidency says "reports of fraud schemes and unwise investments prompt us to again counsel members with respect to prudence in managing one's financial affairs."

"We are concerned that some church members ignore the oft-repeated direction to prepare and live within a budget, avoid consumer debt, and to save against a time of need," the statement reads.

"Consideration should also be given to investing wisely with responsible and established financial institutions. We are also concerned that there are those who use relationships of trust to promote risky or even fraudulent investment and business schemes."

The LDS Church did not elaborate beyond the First Presidency's statement, but state authorities who investigate financial crimes hope Utahns will "heed the message."

"I hope bishops have read them. It is real critical that they are being read," said Francine Giani, the executive director of the Utah Department of Commerce. "I hope people are listening."

Story continues below
Here in Utah, authorities said a majority of the fraud cases they encounter involve some level of "affinity fraud," which is an investment scam that preys upon members of a specific group — such as a religious or ethnic community.

"It is very prevalent," said Charlene Barlow, the Utah attorney general's section chief over financial crimes. "I have victims that sit here and they say, 'I can't believe I was so stupid. But you know, he was a church member. He was in my ward. He was my bishop.' So they check their skepticism at the door."

Affinity fraud is not limited to the LDS Church, but, obviously, many of the cases here are LDS-centric because it is the dominant faith.

"People that are going to perpetrate a fraud on a group of people, the issue of trust is important," Giani said. "That trust can come from a religious affinity."

Barlow said anecdotally, they find LDS connections do factor into a fraud scheme.

"You'll walk into their office and they'll have their Gospel Doctrine manual laid out there because they're preparing their lesson for Sunday," she said. "I don't know that all of the people are consciously trading on their church affiliation. I've often thought the first person a con man cons is himself."

Recently, the Utah Attorney General's Office filed fraud charges against an Ogden businessman accused of bilking hundreds of investors out of more than $140 million. State securities investigators have alleged that Val Southwick, 62, emphasized his LDS membership while soliciting investors in what prosecutors call a massive Ponzi scheme. Southwick is scheduled to be arraigned March 24.

Barlow said the weight of the LDS Church's statement may be lost on those perpetuating schemes, because they believe the "investment opportunity" will work this time.

"They won't think it applies to them because they're aren't doing it," she said. "They think, 'Yes, you should go after these bad guys, but I'm not one of them."'

Giani hopes those looking to put their money in someone's investment will listen and do their homework, making sure people are licensed and have clean records. Such information can be found by visiting the state's Web site at commerce.utah.gov.

"As a member of the faith, it is always a tragedy to me to uncover many of the details (of a fraud scheme). Frankly, I am much less tolerant of those kinds of situations, because technically we should know better," Giani said.

In its statement, the First Presidency urged its members to know the risks of investing.

"While all investments carry an element of risk, that risk can be managed by following sound and proven financial principles: first, avoid unnecessary debt, especially consumer debt; second, before investing, seek advice from a qualified and licensed financial advisor; and third, be wise."

WHO IS Marsha Pawlowski Koerber and Monica J. Reiter?

EXTRACTED DIRECTLY FROM THE STATE OF OHIO WEBSITE
http://www.com.state.oh.us/press1/01releases/sc1109.htm

"Marsha Pawlowski Koerber and Monica J. Reiter were charged with helping Andrew Paul Bodnar defraud hundreds of investors out of as much as $41 million. Koerber, Bodnar’s former office manager, was charged with conspiracy, securities fraud, mail fraud, and tax evasion. Reiter, Koerber’s sister and former administrative assistant in Bodnar’s office, was charged with conspiracy, securities fraud, and mail fraud. "

Live Call with Another Victim in Franklin Squires- Rick Koerber Fraud

For Immediate Release
The Western Capital Foundation
www.FranklinSquiresLawsuit.com
January 30, 2007

This is a formal update to the news release that we issued last night on the victim in St. George, Utah who lost $140,000 with Franklin Squires and Rick Koerber.

We just concluded a phone call interview with the victim who said that he lost $140,000.00 in this scam. He said that he did as we suggested on our web sites and filed an official complaint with the State of Utah and that Mike Hinses (the senior investigator for the State of Utah) sent an investigator to talk to him the very next day.

He said that he gave the State of Utah ove 200 pages of material that he has promised to send to our offices so that we can publish all of the contracts and data for you, our readers, to read.

He also stated that as of February 2007, Koerber made an agreement with the State of Utah that forbade him from taking any kind of monies for investments like this. We will post a copy of that entire agreement soon.

He also said that he will be preparing a VERY DETAILED outline of what happened to him and his family as a result of his investment.

We salute the State of Utah and the Division of Securities for responding so quickly to our readers complaints.

One thing that was said by Mr. Hinses was that this investigation is only beginning. The State of Utah has many victim reports that you have sent to our office that we have not published. We will only release information if you, the victim, provide verbal authorization.

To those of you that have spoken with us, please rest assured that your information is safe and will not be disclosed.

If you or your family gave money to Rick Koerber, Franklin Squires, Founders Capital or any other venue, PLEASE send us a DETAILED report to investigations@franklinsquireslawsuit.com

HELP! Rick Koerber has $140,000 of my Cash!!

I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THE $140,000 THAT RICK KOERBER HAS OF MINE THAT "CANT PAY" ME BACK.

THANKS

Filming for NBC- Live Conversation with Utah Division of Securities on Franklin Squires and Koerber Investigation Posted, by Robert Paisola

We have been swamped with phone calls from all over the country as people have read about the letter that we received from this attorney in Utah that is shown below.

Approximately at 11:50 AM this afternoon, we called the case investigator for the State of Utah, Mike Hinses. He was aware of our posting and wanted us to convey this message to all residents that have been impacted by the actions of C. Rick Koerber and Franklin Squires that they want to talk to you. He was on his way out of the building for a week long vacation, but he returned to take our call. "Yeah, I see that letter all the time" hmmmm. ANYONE ELSE who received this letter, please send us an email immediately. We will soon be posting a victim list and will also post the list of the other members of the media and individuals who received this "boilerplate" letter. We want to interview you you on camera.

Finally Mike announced that last week he filed formal criminal charges against PAUL BUSHARD " who is in Rick Koerber's "Downline"

Mike said he will send us a copy of the criminal filing for us to post. He also said that he can be contacted by any citizen at m.hinses@utah.gov and while he is away, to please copy the Director of the Division of Securities for the State of Utah, Wayne Klein with all information. His email address is w.klein@utah.gov

Again, if you have received a letter like this, we want to talk to you. If we have already interviewed you and you were an employee at Franklin Squires, we have not released those tapes yet. We will contact you prior to distribution.

There is a lot of information posted here on Franklin Squires. If you are or have been a victim, please contact us at victims@franklinsquireslawsuit.com

The Smoking Gun! Rick Koerber Goes on the Attack, Posted by Robert Paisola

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SUNDAY JANUARY 06, 2008 9:36 pm EST
Los Angeles, California
Copyright 2008 Robert Paisola for Corbis Multimedia, All Rights Reserved

To all of our readers and listeners around the world.

Today is Sunday January 06, 2007 and we just got a call from a victim that we profiled on this site last week. It seems as though this site, www.FranklinSquiresLawsuit.com , is the only way to get the attention of the infamous CEO of Franklin Squires, C.Rick Koerber.

After being made aware that this client was profiled on our site, C. Rick Koerber HIMSELF sent this email to the Victim. We have decided to post it in it's entirety, as this is truly necessary for other victims to see how you are being played.

Warning, If you have not figured out that I have had issues with the law 12 years ago, then this will enlighten you. But, it is essential that you understand that you are not alone in your quest for justice, and that the information that you in these emails that were sent to this victim from Mr. C. Rick Koerber will tell you the true story of how the New Castle Holdings and Franklin Squires Team Plays.

Kill the messenger, and we MAY help you. You will not believe what was said in the emails below. We are members of the media, and to tell a poor Victim to essentiallty "Shut Up" or I will not have time to help you is insane. This is why we are publishing this on the International Wire Services.

So, If you want to know all about our CEO, Robert Paisola, just go to Google and type in ROBERT PAISOLA, you will notice a wonderful story from The Salt Lake Weekly, a local tabloid newspaper, that has assisted us in so many ways that we can truly only thank them for their story of chaos and confusion. So, if you want to... Read it, Stephen Dark did a great job in his writing and we could care less! That is the wonderful thing about living in the present, we get to all become anew and we have chosen to help VICTIMS and not CREATE VICTIMS. Move on my friends, move on...

So, Here is the First image of the letter from Rick Koerber to the Victim. Notice how he demands that the victim attempt to Silence Robert Paisola and Western Capital or this victim will receive no assistance. Please excuse the way the documents look, you need to just double click on them to read them. This is being done for SEO Purposes





In order to read these emails you need to double click . We posted them this way so that Google would have the information

So then the Victim, sent Rick this letter saying that "Oh, ok, if you HELP ME I will do whatever I need to do... Here is the email from the Victim that is profiled on this site along with his letter to the State of Utah Fraud Investigator:



Remember, In order to read these emails you need to double click . We posted them this way so that Google would have the information

The bottom line is that there are many of you reading this who most likely received the exact same letter. IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER LIKE THIS DEMANDING THAT YOU DO NOT CONTACT WESTERN CAPITAL OR ROBERT PAISOLA OR FRANKLIN SQUIRES, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU SEND US A COPY OF YOUR STORY IN A VERY DETAILED FORM AND FORWARD US THE LETTER THAT YOU RECEIVED FROM FRANKLIN SQUIRES PRESIDENT, C.RICK KOERBER to investigations@franklinsquireslawsuit.com and m.klein@utah.gov

In conclusion, you should know that Robert Paisola and Western Capital are absolutely committed to offender reform. So after you read the Salt Lake City Weekly Tabloid Article, check out our foundation at www.PrisonPartners.com , www.WesternCapitalFoundation.com and www.RobertPaisola.com and our relationship with www.criminon.com

We will be interviewing the Victim LIVE on The NBC television Network this week, and will post the video. All media inquiries should be directed to media@franklinsquireslawsuit.com .

If Not Me...Who?
If Not Now..When?

We wish you greetings Mr Klein and Mr. Heinz There are more to come.

Regards

Robert Paisola

All the money from Franklin Squires Stopped!

Mr. Paisola

I have received payments from Franklin Squires initiating from contracts of home sales that they purchased from me.

Recently the payments have stopped (before completing the terms as agreed). I called Franklin Squires to have the matter handled directly and was re-directed several times from one representative to another. I have email correspondence from Rick that he would look into the matter. He has quit corresponding with me as of a little over a week ago with out offering any information as to the breach of contract. I have called and left messages and I am told I cannot spear to Rick directly.

As of Nov 14th they will be three payments delinquent.

Please let me know if you have any more information about the status of their company. Thank you!

I gave franklin squires $8,000, By Todd Christensen

Mr. Paisola

I gave franklin squires $8,000 for real estate investment courses. 3 of the courses were never even started. The one I did start I could not finish because they did not perform on their end. They have told me for over a year that my full refund has been approved but they never send it.

They simply continue to give me the run around. If you can help me collect my refund I would be very interested in talking with someone at your organization.

Thanks,

Todd Christensen
