GSPartners ban in BC, Canada extended for “up to a year”
The British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) has extended its GSPartners ban for “up to one year”.
The ban also specifically applies to GSPartners promoters Haidy Nitsa Nakos (Vancouver), Tanya Sue Cloete and James Bruce Gardiner (Maple Ridge).
As per BCSC’s November 30th press-release;
A B.C. Securities Commission (BCSC) panel has extended a temporary order for up to one year against three B.C. residents and several related internationally-based companies to stop the promotion of an investment product called “MetaCertificates.”
The extended temporary order against Vancouver resident Haidy Nitsa Nakos, Maple Ridge residents Tanya Sue Cloete and James Bruce Gardiner, GSB Gold Standard Bank Ltd. (doing business as GSPartners), GSB Gold Standard Corporation AG and Swiss Valorem Bank Ltd. prohibits them from engaging in promotional activities by or on behalf of GSPartners.
And just so there was absolutely no confusion over what the order pertains to;
The order also prohibits:
-Nakos, Cloete, Gardiner and GSPartners and its related entities from disseminating to the public, or authorizing the dissemination to the public, any information or record relating to securities of GSPartners, and
-Any persons from trading the securities of GSPartners.
“In this case, the integrity of the markets will be harmed and there will be a significant loss of public confidence in the system if the Respondents are allowed to continue to perpetuate this scheme,” the Executive Director said in the application for a temporary order extension.
BCSC’s investigation into GSPartners is ongoing, and will eventually lead to a statement of allegations of misconduct.
In the meantime, BCSC’s Executive Director said the ban is to “clearly signal to investors to stop investing in GSPartners MetaCertificates.”
The three promotors from Canada mentioned in the BCSC order are disgruntled. Probably afraid of the legal consequences as well as seeing their scam “earnings” drop.
They decided to (arrange for; get their downline to) attack some critical videos on YouTube by Rory Singh about GSPartners and the GSPro-network reboot attempt.
They are using copyright strikes to harass the channel and (temporarily) take down videos; Rory has made a video on how they attack in one particular case and it is beyond silly how YouTube went along with this claim… the site / person (possibly hacked / taken over) that made the claim was using his thumbnail (including calling it a scam…) and that site/page has now (been) removed.
So it is obviously a false claim; which it basically clearly was from the start… except that it probably was just an automated Google / YouTue process that executed the strike without any human checking it.
YouTube should start to protect critical channels, as clearly their automated processes are being abused by these fraudsters.
They are bent for sure. The plot twist is I think they have someone on the ‘inside’ who is somehow governing these false flags on my channel. Anyway, the fat lady hasn’t sung quite yet.
YouTube’s DMCA process is notoriously easy to manipulate, you don’t need anyone on the inside.
DMCA is general is easy to abuse. Anyone can file a take-down notice pretending to be anyone, against anyone.
I’ve had at least one regulator reach out asking why someone (falsely) representing BehindMLM has filed a DMCA notice claiming ownership of a GSPartners regulatory fraud notice issued by the regulator.
I’ve told them BehindMLM hasn’t issued any notices. Up to them to followup and investigate. Will likely lead to scammers acting on behalf of GSPartners in some hidey hole country.
These would be the same scammers flagging everyone else, it’s obviously a campaign. With any luck we’ll read about it in the federal Complaint(s).
What’s odd is YouTube approved 2 counter notifications by myself then refused the third one.
Then this morning I got 3 emails from YouTube saying all 3 counter notifications have been denied because they (YT) doesn’t feel like I have a reason for a counter claim.
And on my second channel the Ghostly Trio from Vancouver (and their downline) have already flagged 2 videos regarding GSPARTNERS and trio.
I’m sure I’ll get another false strike on that second channel as well soon. They’re trying to ‘Terminate’ both of my channels and seem to be succeeding.
It’s not up to YouTube to accept or deny counterclaims. If you file a counterclaim, as in an actual challenge to a DMCA takedown, they have to act on it.
Not making a determination on bogus DMCA takedown notices works both ways.
I got 3 emails regarding 3 videos yesterday all within a 15 minute time frame, all 3 read: Dear Rory Singh,
Thank you for your counter notification. Unfortunately, it’s unclear to us whether you have a valid reason for filing a counter notification, so we won’t be able to honour your request.
Were you asking to file a counter notification or did you file one?
Just file one, move on.
I filed 3, got 2 emails a few days later saying that YT has forwarded my counter to scammers. Then yesterday YT sends me 3 emails regarding the same 3 videos saying that they don’t feel I have grounds for a counter and all 3 have been refused by YT
Strange. Can’t offer anything further though as I’m not YT tech support.
Lol. Thanks. You’d probably be a better tech support than YT Tech support.
