¨      1996- June. In my capacity as Manager of Arcore International Funding, L.L.C., I was introduced by telephone to Ms. Marilyn Perry, Trustee of Bay State Trust, an international financial trust located in Boca Raton, Florida. This introduction was made by and on behalf of a business associate out of Phoenix, Arizona, Mr. Michael Austin.  Mr. Austin is a former Navy Seal and CIA operative well connected in international financial circles.

Ø      Provision for Arcore expenses and my personal expenses and overhead during this transaction were made through personal loans and contracted loan / investment contributions by my friend and business associate Mr. Collin Finn through his company and personal investment contacts in Colorado.

¨      1997- February.  I was recommended to attorney John Ciccolella by my business associate, Collin Finn, and his girlfriend Kathryn Large to resolve my past and then present marital difficulties. 

Ø      I had two conversations with Mr. CiccoIella’s office. In these consultations we discussed in considerable detail my custody case and divorce judgement involving my ex-wife, Sandra Wilfred, as well as the difficulties with my then current marriage with Dearna Wilfred involving her abusive behaviour towards our two children.

Ø      Mr. Ciccolella recommended that I provide additional details regarding both the previous and current family issues, and upon his review, he would contact me with his proposal for legal representation. The initial conversations included consultation with regard to family law, divorce, custody, property and civil rights issues.

Ø      Mr. Ciccolella reviewed the information and agreed to take the case upon his receiving a retainer of $5,000.  I informed him that as I did not have the $5,000, I could not proceed.

¨      1997- April.  Retained family attorney, Seymour Wheelock to evaluate the current marriage situation as it relates to my wife Dearna’s child abuse.

Ø      Filed a report of abuse as per his direction with Social Services and removed Dearna from the home.

Ø      Worked out an agreement with Dearna in co-operation with Social Services to require Dearna to seek counselling and hire a full time nanny to assist her and monitor her behaviour toward the children while I was at work during the day and travelling on business.

¨      1997- June.  Travelled to Florida on business to meet with Ms. Perry of Bay State Trust and examine Guatemalan project packages to be financed by the sale of the note. (See Gregory Craig Summary, for attached Guatemalan Funding Summary)

¨      1997-  July.  Travelled to Ontario, Canada by direction of Bay State Trust to review additional projects to be financed through Mr. Donald Gillmore.

¨      1997- September 30.  Filed for divorce by direction of my attorney, Mr. Wheelock, due primarily to Dearna firing the nanny in my absence and her continued and repeated incidences of physical and emotional abuse toward me and the children. Case # 97DR 3393.

Ø      There were two children at the time of the divorce filing, Danielle, 5 (born October 16, 1991) and Isaac, 3 (Born December 6, 1993). Danielle and Isaac are now 8 and 6 respectively.

Ø      October 10, 97-  Served the divorce and retrieved the children under advice of counsel, Seymour Wheelock. (See Gregory Craig summary, Urgent Request For Legal Assistance, Section 6)

Ø      Followed advice of counsel, when available, for the period of October 97 through February, 98. Unbeknown to me during this time, Mr. Wheelock had been admitted to a mental institution for psychiatric care for a period of approximately three months.

¨      1997-  October 14.  Attorney, John Ciccolella is retained by Dearna Wilfred to represent her in the divorce case, in spite of his clear conflict as a result of our meetings about the case the previous February.

Ø      October 16, 97.  An emergency temporary orders hearing is called for October 17, 97.  The hearing took place without notification to me. 

Ø      During the October 17, 97 Temporary Orders hearing, Mr. Ciccolella presented evidence against me through information obtained in our February 97 consultations in order to justify not hearing any of the witnesses present regarding maternal child abuse.  With this information and ridiculous allegations of kidnapping and international fraud, he managed to obtain temporary custody for Dearna.

Ø      Mr. Ciccolella participated in filing charges against me with the El Paso County DA for violation of a custody order and extortion.

Ø      Thereafter Mr. Ciccolella continued to perjure himself by misconstruing evidence previously provided to him by me and misrepresenting the facts of the case to support Dearna’s right to custody.  Please see the attached transcripts for the hearings dated October 17, 1997, April 17, 1998 and September 14, 1998.  Also see the attached document referencing “Ciccolella’s Perjury”

Ø      Mr. Ciccolella was challenged in the summer of 1999 by written notification of his conflict through counsel, Lance Sears.  As he continued to ignore this notice, a Motion to Disqualify Law Office of John Ciccolella was filed on January 6, 2000.

Ø      Mr. Ciccolella withdrew from the case as counsel for Dearna Wilfred in January, 2000.

¨      1998- February 14.  Arrested in Canada and held for extradition for violation of a custody order and extortion.  The children were forcibly returned to their abusive mother in Colorado by the El Paso county DA. The extortion charge came about as a direct result of Mr. Ciccolella’s deliberate report and misrepresentation to the DA of a property and custody mediation attempt by a professional mediator and family friend, Mr. Phillip Freytag.

Ø      Confidential documents were confiscated on the Guatemalan funding as a result of the arrest.

Ø      Upon discovery of the magnitude of the Guatemalan Funding, the Canadian Court required $600,000 surety bond for bail release.

Ø      Released after 125 days of incarceration.

Ø      I was denied contact and any report on my children’s welfare or whereabouts until the first telephone communication was ordered and carried out on June 10, 2000.

¨      1998- May 12.  Decree of Dissolution of Marriage is issued in Dearna divorce.

¨      1998- June 2.  Committed to extradition by Canadian Justice System.

Ø      The commitment to extradition was primarily based upon the last minute misrepresented and false information presented to the Canadian Court by the El Paso County DA that Mr. Phillip Freytag had been arrested as my accomplice for conspiracy to commit extortion.

Ø      Mr. Freytag was actually charged as a co-conspirator of extortion three weeks after the June 2, 1998 extradition hearing. The charge was thereafter dropped by the DA without a hearing for “insufficient evidence” and the records were sealed by the Court.

¨      1998- July 6.   Released from incarceration.  Attorney Alan Gold successfully provides for approval of extradition appeal. Canadian Immigration Enforcement prohibits employment in Canada during extradition proceedings.
