Services PTE. LTD., right) in Phuket, Thailand.

The US-citizen Mark Stephen Hutcherson (a/k/a ”Hutch”) was born in June 27, 1960. He is now residing in a big bungalow near San Sai, Chiang Mai. He is married to a Thai woman being presented with varying namessuch as: Sukhansa Jamonman, Sukhansa Cometip, Sukhansa Hutcherson, Paphada Cometip, Paphada Jamonman, and Paphada Hutcherson. Mr. Hutcherson's wife is the half-sister of Mr. Apirak Kosayodhin, former governor of Bangkok and a leading person in the Democrat Party of Thailand.

Mark Stephen Hutcherson has a brother, Ronald L Hutcherson, age 55, publicly listed with a present addressin Copper Rim, TX (US), but also indicated to reside in Chiang Mai.

Mr. Hutcherson is registered with property in the United States. He is registered as owner of the company Effective Investments LLC, incorporated in Texas in 2007 (original business address: 6405 Dunmoor Drive, Plano, TX 75093 USA). This property is listed as sold in 2013. He is also registered as owner of the company, Molley Malones LLC, registered in Texas in 2009, originally having the same business address in Plano, TX. The present business address of Molley Malones LLC and Effective Investments LLC. is: 5053 Castle Creek Lane, Plano, TX 75093. This property, with an estimated market value of $949,000, was last sold in 2013. Since 2003 Mark Stephen Hutcherson has been recorded as owner of the following property: 2092 Bakers Mill Rd, Dacula, GA 30019. More recently, this property is now listed with his brother, Ronald,

and his sister, Dolores, as owners.

According to Mr. Hutcherson's filings to register as Associated Person with CFTC and NFA (US) in 1992, he graduated with a major in Business from the Old Dominion University, Hampton Blvd, VA. His employment history includes positions as sales representative, PPG Industries Inc. (Pittsburgh) and Coronado Print Company (Edgewater, FL), during the 1989-1992 period.

In 1992, Mr. Hutcherson registered as Associated Person of Commonwealth Financial Group (Boca Raton, FL). During the 1993-1994 period he held a position as Associated Person with Cromwell Financial Services Inc. (Boca Raton, FL). From March, 1994 to January, 1995 he was the President of the now inactive company, Wexford Financial Group Inc. (Atlanta, GA) Inc. During the January-October period (1995) he served as Manager of Lynch Company Inc. (Atlanta, GA9. to October and in 1995 he registered as Associated Person of Dunhill Financial Group Inc. During his time at this company, Hutcherson met and worked with the US-citizen, Jack Fletcher Prather, with whom he was going to re-unite and collaborate with in boiler room operations managed from Thailand and beyond later on. Mr. Prather filed to be withdrawn as Principal of the firm, Dunhill Financial Group Inc., in 1998.

In 1994, the US-citizen, Mark A. Leenerts, filed a complaint to CFTC against Mark Hutcherson and Cromwell Financial Inc. The complaint built on alleged negligence in fiduciary responsibility as well as the negligence inresponsibility in supervision and conduct of Mr. Hutcherson: “I was told by Mr. Hutcherson that time was of the essence in order to make money in the market, which I believe is untrue. I do not feel that he granted mesufficient time to consider this transaction and only promised of the high dollars to be made. Also Mr. Hutcherson did not in any way convey to me the tremendous risk involved in this investment (to role an investment in silver options into corn and soybeans in order to regain losses and make the big money) although he knew my age and complete lack of knowledge concerning the market”

This case is one of four reparation cases filed by CFTC concerning Mark Hutcherson.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced on March 4, 1999, the filing of a four-countadministrative complaint alleging that Dunhill Financial Group, Inc. (Dunhill); Mark Hutcherson, Dunhill's Sales Manager; and Kevin Jackam, Dunhill's Compliance Officer, all of the Atlanta, Georgia area, violated anti-fraud provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and CFTC regulations by fraudulently soliciting prospective customers to open accounts to trade options on commodity futures contracts. The complaint further alleges that Dunhill, Hutcherson, and Jackam made fraudulent misrepresentations, and omitted disclosing material facts, concerning: such that they: misrepresented the likelihood of profit from trading commodity options; misrepresented the risk of loss involved in trading commodity options; and failed to disclose the amount of commissions charged to customers and the substantial impact that commissions had upon the customer's ability to earn a profit on options trading.

The complaint further alleges that at least 91.4 percent of the customer accounts opened by Dunhill from October 1995 through September 1998 lost money, and that total net losses, including commissions, were in excess of $9.3 million.

Dunhill, Hutcherson, Jackam, NMP and Thomas were also charged with failing to exercise diligently their supervisory responsibilities. Dunhill had been registered with the CFTC as an independent IB since September 27, 1995.

Hutcherson settled the charges without admitting or denying guilt. He agreed to pay a $10,000 fine and $8.31 million in restitution and to never again seek registration as a commodities broker.In year 2000, NFA revoked Mr. Hutcherson's registration as Associated Person with Dunhill Financial Inc., as well as having him withdrawn him from being Associate Member.

The building block, “Dunhill” came to re-appear when the boiler room, Dunhill Capital, started to work out of Thailand during the same period of time as the boiler rooms, Smith Fairchild and Jackson Cole, were active. In fact, it is indicated that Dunhill Capital and McKenzie King were spin-offs from Smith Fairchild as their websites included codes with links to smithfairchild.com. Both Smith Fairchild and Dunhill Capital used the same faked business address, Banhofstrasse 71 in Zurich (Switzerland), on their websites and in sales information to investors which further indicates management connectivities between the boiler rooms.

Dunhill Capital touted, among others, the inflated/faked investment object, International Biometrics. The US-citizen, Gary V. Lloyd, functioned as Vice President of International Biometrics and was further linked to Smith Fairchild through his role as CEO of System Pro International.

It is verified that Mark Hutcherson and the UK-citizen, Paul John Hayward, made business partnership withGary V. Lloyd in Thailand. The capital raised from investors was, according to Gary V. Lloyd to be split, 70%to be received by International Biometrics and 30% in favour of Mark Hutcherson and Paul John Haywardthrough their boiler room management. Later, Gary V. Lloyd was called to a meeting with Mark Hutchersonand Paul John Hayward where the two latter parties declared that the deal was the other way round, 70% tobe received by the boiler room principals and 30% left to International Biometrics. This created a splitbetween the parties. More recently (around 2008), Gary V. Lloyd and Mark Hutcherson are known to havemet in Chiang Mai and discussed about business opportunities with Carbon Credit Market (CCX). Soon afterthis meeting, Paul John Hayward referred to someone setting up a boiler room with CCX sales and waslooking for a room manager.

Dunhill Capital was also administrated at around 2003 from boiler rooms in Spain managed by “Carlos Garcia” or “Carlos”. He was later reported to have been killed in a motorbike accident in August-September, 2005. The Spanish-incarnation of Dunhill Capital later changed its name to Rementon Fitzgerald. “Carlos” isverified to have connectivities with “Hutch”:

“He himself (Editor's note: “Carlos”) had started out in as TQ for a man known as ‘Hutch’, whose full name may have been Mark Hutchinson or Hutcherson, who was based in Thailand. Hutch apparently provided the capital for Charles to start up his operation in Spain.”

The American, Berkely Graham, was one of four brokers/loaders employed by “Carlos”. He had received his training as Telephone Qualifier in Thailand where he had also worked in boiler rooms and met with “Hutch”.Mark Stephen Hutchereson is indicated to have been involved and responsible as principal or co-principal in the following boiler room scams, marketing and selling inflated and faked shares and securities. Note that thelist presented below is just a snap-shot of all boiler rooms Mr. Hutcherson has been involved in:

- Jackson-Cole, Smith Fairchild (active in 2002-2003)

- Premium Placements Management (active in 2003-2005; co-managed in partnership with the US-citizens,Jack Fletcher Prather, Paul Richard Bell, and Glendon Richard Bullard, and the UK-citizen, Paul John Hayward). During this period of time, Mark Hutcherson, is observed by several witnesses to arrive to the boiler room offices in Kuala Lumpur at regular intervals.

- Warner Beck Inc., Emmerson-Bennett Trading Group Ltd., Baker and White Inc., Jameson West AssociatesLtd., Carver Brooks and Associates Ltd., Cahill and Audleman, McBain Baxter Holdings Ltd.,The Stockton Group Ltd., The Roth Group Ltd., The Danier Group, Leberman & Steine Ltd., Montesiore & Lutz (active in 2004-2006).

During this period of time, Account Openers were working out of office space rented from the Malaysiancompany, Tlway Texco, in Kuala Lumpur (Menara TA One, Wisma Goldhill, Phileo Promenade) and in PilauPenang.

- Financier of boiler room operations administrated from Spain including Dunhill Capital and adjoined boiler rooms

- Energy Explorations International Inc. (2007-2008)

Documents captured from within the Jackson Cole boiler room administration verify that a deal was made between Paul John Hayward and Mark Hutcherson concerning the outsource of specific loading duties to “Hutch”:

The signature of Mark Hutcherson, signing the loader deal with Jackson Cole/Paul John Hayward on the document presented above, can be compared with his signature used when e.g. filing a document to CFTC

(US), February 19, 1999:

The similarity between the two signatures is apparent and it is concluded that the signing of the documents has been produced by the same physical person, Mark Stephen Hutcherson.

Mark Hutcherson is registered with a bankruptcy court record, Northern District of Georgia (US), in 2003 (case Case 02-81853-mhm). He then signed that he had no personal property and no business incomes at apoint in time when he made the deal in Thailand with the boiler room, Jackson Cole.

At around 2004 investors received digital payment instructions from the boiler room, Baker and White Inc., whereby it is unveiled that the document template included codes originally set up to be distributed to: “SouthFork Development – Contact List”.

Mark Hutcherson is verified to have acted as a Principal of South Fork Development:

though Mr. Hutcherson's role as a Principal was disclosed from the presentation of the Management Team on the company's website, southforkdevelopment.com:

South Fork Development was sold by the boiler room, Premium Placements Management, through its officeslocated in Kuala Lumpur. Premium Placements Management was co-managed by Paul Richard Bell, Paul John Hayward, Glendon Richard Bullard, Jack Fletcher Prather, and Mark Stephen Hutcherson.

On the company's website, premiumplacements.com (now defunct) in 2005, investors were recommended tobuy the pre-IPO, Tlway Texco, a company incorporated in Singapore and Malaysia:

In fact, witnesses verify that Mark Hutcherson met with the company executive of Tlway Texco, Mr. Tabarruk Abdullaev, in Kuala Lumpur at around 2004 and a deal was made whereby the incomes from boiler room sales were to be shared between the boiler room principals and the Tlway Texco executives. This created a split with Paul Richard Bell and Hutcherson-Hayward, with greater financial resources, overtook the principal boiler room management in partnership with Tlway Texco. A sister company, Tlway Holidays, arranged with lodging facilities for the Account Openers from the Philippines, Romania, US, and the UK, coming to work with the boiler rooms in Kuala Lumpur without legal working permits. Boiler room office space was rented from Tlway SDN. BDH. ( the boiler room offices were just on the opposite side of the walls of the Tlway Office). Networking capacity was arranged with through the company, Tlway Communications.

It is verified that Mark Hutcherson and Jack Fletcher Prather were involved in the boiler room promotion and secret ownership of US-company, Energy Exploration International, Inc. (www.eei-inc.com) incorporated in Texas in Dec., 2006. The company actively promoted sales of rights to oil and gas wells and stated future profits. The company provided detailed information on its web page about its stated drilling and exploration activities in Texas (US). The CEO of EEI, Inc. at that point in time was the US-citizen, Curtis A. Best. The original business address was: 9330 Amberton Parkway, Suite 1275, Dallas, TX 75243 USA.

INTEL received from State Federal Authorities in Texas informs that Mr. Best stayed in Thailand during a 6-months period in 2004. It is indicated that his partnership with Mark Hutcherson and Jack Fletcher Prather originates from this time or earlier. Email tracking analysis of received emails from Matt Andrew, EEI, Inc., mandrews@eei-inc.com, further reveals that EEIs sales staff communicated with investors in Europe from IPaddress 61.47.0.94, which originates from a computer in Bangkok with ISP services provided by PACNET.

Public Federal Records (Texas) also indicates that Mark Hutcherson is a registered agent of the company Effective Investments LLC, incorporated in Texas US on Nov. 20, 2007. The filed original business address ofEffective Investments LLC is a perfect match with the company address of EEI, Inc., which indicates a partnership between EEI, Inc. and Mark Hutcherson. It is further found the Mark Hutcherson is a bearer of a driving license issued in Texas, where Mr. Hutcherson has used the home address of a former Vice President of EEI, Inc., Mr. Jeff Villines.

The US investigative journalist, Chris Carey, concluded the following after having researched EEI, Inc. in 2008 (http://sharesleuth.com/investigations/2008/09/energy_exploration_internation):

“EEI was secretly controlled by Mark S. Hutcherson, a former Atlanta-based commodities broker whose firm was shut down by regulators in 2000, and Jack F. Prather, who’d been a principal of that same firm. Both men have since been implicated in other global boiler-room schemes. EEI’s vice president of sales, known to investors as Richard Wright, is really a convicted felon named Richard Ayoub. EEI outsourced its investment marketing in 2006 to a Singapore company called Pace Global Business Services Pte Ltd., which also has ties to Hutcherson and Prather. That deal is not mentioned in any material given to investors. EEI investors say the company’s representatives told them that its drilling projects were virtually assured of success, and provided them with financial projections and payback schedules that were wildly optimistic.”

On April 13, 2007, Mark Hutcherson was kidnapped from his condominium in the Lard Prao District, Bangkok. He was rescued by Thai Police (ref. Maj. Gen. Jeth Mongkonhat) following kidnapping and him being held for ransom, $400,000 plus $800,000, during a 5-day period. He is recorded to have informed the press that he was in the oil-gas business in Texas and travelled back and forth between the US and Thailand. According to the magazine, Thai Rath, he though indicated that he was in the import-export business. An article in Bangkok Post identifies the kidnapped “Mark Hutchison” as being 47 years old , whichis a perfect match with records from an Intelius search, identifying six possible US citizens named “Mark S Hutcherson”, of whom three, at that point in time, were referred to be 47 years old and having previous residential addresses in Atlanta, Georgia (US). At lot of the money in the kidnapping drama went to pay-outs including Police Colonels at the Tonglor Police District in Bangkok. Three civilians, James and John McCleary (Thai-US-citizens) and Mongkol Sukkasem were charged and the Police held arrest warrants for three suspects - Thanapol, Sergeant Adul Kamorn of Chokchai police station and a Thai-Dutch civilian, Samual, or Sam, Pasomthong. Police claimed that Thanapol was the head of the kidnapping team and had run away with the rest of the money from Hutcherson's condo.
