Racism and harassment: Williams amends eAdGear complaint
The legal battles between eAdGear (GoFunRewards/GoFunPlaces) and Randal Williams (JubiRev/JubiMax) continue to heat up with a modified complaint filed by Williams in a Western District court of Texas.
Back in February William’s filed a lawsuit against eAdGear in Texas, which after reviewing it I felt was rather general in nature:
Going over each side of both cases, it’s hard not to get a sense of vindictiveness arising from failed a failed joint business venture.
Whether or not William’s heart was ever in GoFunRewards or he was just there to gain contacts and funding I have no idea, but from eAdGear’s lawsuit and Paul Nash’s email above it certainly doesn’t seem like it.
If anything I get the sense that despite the allegations laid out against him, Williams is incensed that his time at GoFunRewards is now impacting his JubiRev business venture.
Just short of a month later eAdGear filed their own lawsuit against Williams in California, which laid out some serious shortcomings in William’s conduct as President of GoFunRewards and the pillaging of GoFunRewards to create his new venture, JubiRev.
Perhaps in retaliation for eAdGear’s lawsuit, Williams has now filed an amended complaint, complete with a slew of new accusations laid out against eAdGear and its management.
The amended complaint, filed on the 2nd of April in Texas, reads much the same as William’s original complaint but adds “diversity of citizenship” and “embezzlement” to the list of accusations made against the defendants.
Added to the defendant list is Lourata Chan, CFO of GoFunRewards and wife of COO Francis Yuen, whom William’s claims is directly responsible for preventing William’s from accessing GoFunRewards’ accounting records.
Records which William’s claims shows $30 million USD being diverted away from GoFunRewards accounts into ‘accounts which had no relation to GoFunPlaces‘.
William’s claims that eAdGear management ‘established a series of bank accounts that did not relate to GoFun Places‘ and specifically names Francis Yuen, Lourata Chan and Charles Wang (CEO of GoFunRewards) as having taken an ‘active role in diverting funds away from GoFunPlaces‘.
William’s states that of this diverted $30 million, $10 million remains “unaccounted” for and only $100,000 ever made its way into GoFunRewards related accounts.
William’s states that eAdGear ‘created a structure that defrauded consumers‘ and “concealed” these efforts from him. This was done via a “Chinese only” rule that related to ‘certain business transactions and processes‘, which Williams claims excluded him from having any knowledge of them.
On the racism front, Williams blames accuses eAdGear management of creating an ‘extreme discriminatory and hostile work environment for non-Chinese and female employees‘, ‘routinely slandering and discriminating against non-Chinese employees‘ and operating on a “do it the Chinese way or get fired” platform.
A platform which also included ‘inappropriately classifying employees’ and refusing ‘to pay overtime, employee wages and employee expenses’.
William’s wrath isn’t solely directed at eAdGear’s executive management either, with his amended complaint laying out new allegations against Mike Driggers (VP of GoFunRewards), Glen Jensen (former President of GoFunRewards), Paul Nash (“software architect of GoFunRewards) and Kent McLaughlin (“key” GoFunRewards distributor).
William’s claims that Driggers personally ‘engaged in sexual harassment and other conduct to the detriment of GoFunPlaces‘.
“Other conduct” both referring to Driggers allegedly creating ‘revenue positions in the compensation structure of GoFunPlaces for his family members (and) girlfriends‘ and cross recruiting escapades.
Williams claims that Driggers is involved in ‘business enterprises that directly conflicted and damaged the performance of GoFun Places‘, specifically in using his “master distributor position” in something called Stonebrook to cross recruit GoFunRewards affiliates.
William’s asserts that Driggers cross-recruitment efforts within GoFunRewards are still “ongoing”.
Both ex-President Glen Jensen and Paul Nash are accused of ‘creating revenue positions in the compensation structure of GoFun Places for (their) family members‘.
Ironically, in their suit against Williams eAdGear made the exact same accusation in reverse,
Between October 2012 and December 2012, Williams embezzled and misappropriated GoFunPlaces’ assets, by setting up in GoFunPlaces’ distributor database bogus accounts for his family members and friends and then transferring “Lifestyle Dollars” and “bonus rewards” into these accounts.
William’s family members and friends who received the “Lifestyle Dollars” and “bonus rewards” had no right or entitlement to receive them.
If either side is to be believed, sounds to me like the entire management team were involved in setting up bogus accounts to maximise their ROI via GoFunRewards’ Ponzi points style compensation plan.
One can only wonder if these account still exist and whether or not the practice was continued in the creation of William’s soon to be officially launched JubiRev opportunity.
“Key” GoFunRewards distributor Kent McLaughlin is also accused of having ‘kick-back arrangements with providers of products to GoFun Places‘ and of and of “grossly misrepresenting” the potential business relationships providers of products would have with GoFun Places.
In light of the contrast between William’s rather tame initial complaint and eAdGear’s very specific and incriminating allegations against Williams via their own complaint, it’s hard not to look at Williams amendment as raw retaliation.
Both JubiRev and Williams and GoFunRewards and eAdGear have laid out some pretty serious allegations against eachother and in certain respects they bear a strikingly similar resemblance.
Ultimately it will be interesting to see how this plays out and with the abundance of eyebrow raising allegations flying between the two parties whether or not any law enforcement agencies are keeping an eye on things.
eAdGear have requested an injunction against Williams which would effectively put a stop to JubiRev’s operations, with “Initial Case Management Conference” date for the 11th of June.
At the time of publication a judge was assigned to Williams complaint against eAdGear on the 26th of March, however apart from William’s modified complaint, no other documents have popped up since.
In their complaint against Williams, eAdGear have stated they intend to file a motion to dismiss Williams’ complaint and failing that, have the case moved to California.
Stay tuned.
I know what your saying but can you blame him… he offered to walk away for $1 and they part ways then they attack him with the damaging lawsuit.
Then Paul Nash writes a letter to his (Randel) wife and then has it posted on the internet for everyone to see. I Would amend my lawsuit also if they’re gonna play dirty like that?
I didn’t mean to take anything away from Williams allegations with that observation. I’m just curious as to why none of the amended information was included in the original complaint.
I’ve only seen T. LeMont Silver make the $1 claim so naturally I’m taking that with a grain of salt. With all of the nonsense seemingly going on over at GoFunRewards who knows what happened.
Personally, this looks like two snakes getting in bed with each other, then instead of cuddling they started biting each other.
eAdGear is already a suspect company with a comp plan that is substantially similar to Zeek’s. The lawsuit eAdGear launched against Zeek affiliate (and former eAdGear affiliate) contains “comparison of comp plans” among Zeek, eAdGear, and one other “opportunity”. They are in the same shady business.
And why would they need a white guy as president, whose main experience had been in various matrix recruitment schemes and TVI Express clones? Figurehead, of course! What else can it be?
When the real leadership conducted biz all in Chinese that the white guy doesn’t understand, did Williams realized he had been played (or he kewn all along, but thought he could do something with it, but realized he can’t).
I posted this on an earlier criticism of Gofun rewards and would like to add one of my own here as well, I think its important that people use their heads about the gofun business model and how crooked it is.
Pay attention to whats going on and really watch and remember the ones that are coaching you to be leaders and recruit, recruit, recruit – ignore all the BS going on and just recruit, recruit, recruit – we need more of your money – so we can rip you off some more.
It’s like they are standing on a hill with a megaphone screaming “c’mon suckers, send us some more of your money” if people cannot figure the math out on these crazy rev share programs they shouldn’t be in them.
Gofunrewards is going backwards FAST – Yes everyone GET OUT while you can – this ship has a huge hole and its sinking FAST! 3 months tops and its out of business. OH yeah – I almost forgot – with all of our money – Sounds like a lot of FUN huh? Wonder where they’ll all GO and have FUN on our dimes???
I just want to comment on all of this. I was in Zeek, I loved the business, but the facts are the facts and it was deemed an illegal operation.
I did get involved with GoFun Rewards aka GoFun Places, of course back then it was presented in a totally different light than in reality what it really is.
The mall is CRAP – overpriced and impossible to buy anything, of course finding someone who would actually want to purchase something from the mall is a miserable task, I can’t pay someone to shop there.
The Travel portal is a JOKE – I travel all over the USA – I tried to use that so called portal – lol, I did a price comparison – guess what, I could book my condo’s cheaper with priceline than I could using GoFun Places.
The auction – well that’s a lost cause, unless you don’t mind sitting in front of a computer for days waiting for the few items there to reach their “reserve” so you can “win” it and pay “nothing”.
I hope your time is more valuable to you than wasting it sitting at a computer for junk products that you can buy cheaper elsewhere.
I have encouraged everyone I brought into this joke of a company to set their “withdrawal” to 60% and try to get out the money they purchased LifeStyle Dollars and Condo Club Cards with.
This company, and who stands behind it has lied from the beginning. I watched their live stream back in October where they promised so much more than they delivered.
This company I really had high hopes for – it actually had some promise behind it. Not anymore, in fact in my opinion it is worse than Zeek Rewards.
Now if you really want to know how crooked they are, look at the retirement of points, they added up 100 plus 49 days and retired all of them at once knowing full well everyone’s accounts would start flying into the negative.
If this company is a 100 Million dollar a year earning company and so solid as they claim, why’d they screw over their affiliates who have put up with one bull shit problem after another.
You can’t even follow your own account they have the back offices so screwed up. You have to take their word on everything, they are supposed to be specialist in programming and seo – ha, these jokers can’t get their programming right to save their asses.
The voices behind the company – the married couple, I can’t remember their names, Sandy and Leonard I think, all they are doing is ruining their reputations, who in the world will ever be able to build again knowing they are promoting such an obvious ship wreck.
Sometimes people in this industry get what I call brain washed, don’t adamately back this company without knowing the facts and truly look at what is happening. Randall Williams is suing them, they are suing Randall, Jenson leaves – I mean seriously, this is a complete train wreck.
They dropped millions of points on March 20th, profit sharing, rev sharing – whatever you want to call it should have increased – not decreased. .70 a day. There are 2 reasons for this, one either they are not making any money and they were lying about the percentage they paid us before the drop, or they are lying to us now –
think about it – millions in points dropped and the same day so did profit sharing.
If anyone comes back at me and says “it was 3 days later” lets remember they pay 3 days late.
If you’re smart you’ll set your withdrawal to 60% and get prepared for the inevitable. The demise of GFR is only around the corner.
Appalled and anonymous for good reasons.
Daily “profit sharing” is in toilet.
They have “switched banks” resulting in pay delays.
E-wallet “mis-communication” resulting in further payment delays.
Could someone please call Dawn Wright-Olivares and ask if she would help GoFun with a more proper misinformation campaign.
Perhaps she is setting up gofun’s national convention in Tennessee.

END IS NEAR
Sort of a FYI… Dubli, the original auction guys, is apparently trying to SELL their auction business.
http://www.mlmwatchdog.com/MLM_AUCTIONS_DUBLI.html
Wasn’t Troy Dooly singing the praises of Dubli as being some wildly succesful massive merchant shopping portal or something while Zeek Rewards was going down?
Well, the mall is still going. 🙂
He used very advanced methods to confuse himself into believing in what he WANTED to believe in.
“Publicly traded company”, “Unique Bids Auction niche”, “Gaming Theories”, “Gaming Addiction Theories”, plus all the social proofs available.
Using less advanced methods, Dubli is simply in the “Next Big Thing on the Internet” niche and “Attract Money from Investors” niche.
