Reynold & Kathy Mainse, Moira Brown, Ann Mainse and Ron Mainse



Ron and Ren Mainse are dealing with a 'financial' matter and are no longer associated with the TV show. Embarassed

Now I'm going to have to watch regular TV. Crying or Very sad

Some times it's hard to tell between JBS hair and JBF hair.

I don't know but they may become single in the near future. This could solve a dilema for me.

I saw those Detroit snakebible salesmen at the Eaton Centre once and I gotta tell you, they're just as made up in real life as they are on teevee.

Now if only they'd prepare for the afterlife, we could relax a little. And what kind of name is Rexella anyway? Sounds like a drug store to me.

BTW, don't the Mainse boys have a bit of Stepford in them? They look just as greasy as dear ol' dad.

There's something about the smiles of 'saved' people that makes me think they've got one of these attached to them.

I wonder if this has anything to do with their money problems?

SEC files allegations in U.S. court
May 21, 2009
STEVE BUIST
THE HAMILTON SPECTATOR
(May 21, 2009)

A Freelton man who describes himself as a software developer and aspiring screenplay writer is accused in a California court of running a $14-million US Ponzi scheme.

Gordon Driver and his company, Axcess Automation, are alleged to have defrauded more than 100 Canadian and American investors since 2006 by promising them weekly returns on their investment as high as 5 per cent, based on special software he says he developed to trade futures.

Among those who invested in the alleged Ponzi scheme, court documents say, are Ron and Reynold Mainse, sons of David Mainse, founder of Burlington's Crossroads Television and 100 Huntley Street.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has obtained a civil court order in California that freezes the assets of Driver and his company, stops them from any further trading of securities, and prevents the destruction of any documents.

The SEC will be back in a Los Angeles civil court tomorrow seeking a permanent injunction, financial penalties and asking a judge to force Driver to turn over the money he has obtained from investors.

The Ontario Securities Commission has also ordered Driver and Axcess Automation to cease all trading immediately.

Driver and his company are not registered to sell and trade securities in either Ontario or the United States.

Driver, who is 51, divides his time between a large home in Wildan Estates, just south of Freelton, and an address in Las Vegas.

A man, who declined to identify himself working outside Driver's Freelton home yesterday, said that Driver was away and not expected to return for some time.

Driver could also not be reached at his Las Vegas address.

According to the SEC's court filings, Driver raised more than $14.1-million US ($16 million Cdn) from about 90 Canadian investors and another 15 in the U.S., telling them that he had developed a software program for trading futures that would generate weekly returns of 1 to 5 per cent for the investors.

"Driver assured investors that his computer program had built-in safeguards to manage risk, he never had a trading loss for more than a day, and he never had a weekly or monthly trading loss," according to the SEC complaint filed in California court.

"In reality, Driver operated (his company) as a Ponzi scheme," the complaint alleges.

In sworn testimony before an SEC hearing April 23, Driver said that he can make profitable trades seven or eight times out of 10.

"But I can certainly prove that I did better than that," Driver testified. "I do over 100 per cent. That's better than 10 out of 10 trades."

Driver never properly explained how more than 100 per cent of his trades could be profitable.

But the SEC's court filings tell a much different story.

The SEC alleges that Driver actually used just $3.7-million US of the $14.1-million US he raised to trade futures -- and that he lost 95 per cent of the money in the trades he did make.

Despite telling investors they could make up to 5 per cent profit per week, the SEC alleges "Driver, in fact, did limited trading and in some months, conducted no trading whatsoever."

Last October, the SEC claims, sent a "fabricated" trading account statement to one person who was acting as a "finder" for investors.

The fabricated statement "falsely stated that the account's ending balance was $34.7-million US as of August 28, 2008," according to the SEC complaint.

In fact, the SEC claims, the account's true balance was less than $11,000 US.

The SEC also alleges that Driver misappropriated $10.7-million US to pay some investors and used another $1.1-million US to pay personal expenses.

A document filed by an investigator for the SEC who analyzed Driver's expenses states that since 2006, about $470,000 US was taken by Driver in cash withdrawals, $163,000 US for retail purchases at places such as Costco and Sam's Club, $72,000 US used for travel costs, $68,000 US for auto-related expenses and nearly $60,000 US for computers and electronics.

The SEC alleges that Driver's "scheme" flourished in mid-2007 when he made inroads with the leaders of Burlington's Crossroads Christian Communications, where Driver worked in the late 1970s.

In his SEC testimony, Driver said he worked for Crossroads for a short time when he was a teenager, working with the sound equipment in new studios that had been opened.

Driver said that Crossroads' founder David Mainse was like a father figure to him.

When Driver moved back to Ontario from California a few years ago, he discovered he was living in the same neighbourhood as Ron Mainse, one of David's sons.

Driver also said that he worked on films in the past with Oscar-winning director Sydney Pollack, including the 2005 film The Interpreter, starring Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn. He also said that his intent when he moved back to Ontario was to write screenplays.

Driver testified that he was going to sell a computer to Reynold Mainse, Ron's brother, when Reynold noticed some charts on the computer related to Driver's supposed trading software.

Reynold Mainse became interested, Driver testified, and eventually invested some money. Ron Mainse also became an investor.

In Driver's April 23 testimony, he alleged the two Mainse brothers also acted as finders, bringing other investors to Driver.

Ron Mainse is out of the country and could not be reached for comment.

Reynold Mainse did not respond to an interview request.
