    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    Alpine is not a party to any litigation and management has no knowledge of any threatened or pending litigation against Alpine.

    SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND STATE
    INVESTIGATIONS OF AFFILIATE

    Alpine Pictures, Inc., an affiliated company, is the focus of a formal investigation conducted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to determine whether any federal securities laws were violated in connection with the offering of securities by Alpine Pictures, Inc. and several partnerships in which it was involved. In March, 1998, Alpine Pictures, Inc. and several of its officers, including Roland Carroll and Ryan Carroll, were subpoenaed and provided documents and oral testimony to the Securities and Exchange Commission. No further action has been taken since that date.

    In January, 1998, Cavalier Partners L.P. consented to an order from the State of Michigan to cease and desist from any violation of the Michigan securities laws and paid administrative costs in the amount of $750. Paul Miller, an officer of Alpine, served as general partner of Cavalier Partners L.P.

    On November 17, 1997, the Department of Corporations for the State of California issued a desist and refrain order against Alpine Pictures, Inc., Roland Carroll, Ryan Carroll and Carroll Media, Inc., which requires them to desist and refrain from the offer or sale in California of any unqualified or non-exempt security. The order does not address any specific offering.

    On July 9, 1999, the State of California filed a complaint against Teleshare, Inc., a California telecommunications company for which Messrs. Roland and Ryan Carroll served as directors, Alpine Pictures, Lord Protector, Cavalier Partners, Roland Carroll, Ryan Carroll and Stewart Whipple (the president of Teleshare) alleging violations of the California Corporation Code and seeking

    a permanent injunction against the defendants against further violations of the California Corporation Code;
    recission offers to certain purchasers of the Lord Protector and Cavalier Partners partnership interests; and
    payment of fees to offset the court administrative and investigative costs.

    The defendants have filed a consent with the court for entry of a permanent injunction and the other requested relief without admitting or denying the allegations of the complaint. The permanent injunction, if issued, would restrain Alpine Pictures, Inc., Lord Protector Partners, Cavalier Partners, Stewart Whipple, Roland Carroll and Ryan Carroll from offering to sell, selling, or engaging in the business of selling any securities of any kind in violation of the qualification or exemption requirements of the California Corporations Code Section 251110.

    In June, 1999, Alpine Pictures entered into a settlement agreement with the State of Illinois agreeing to make a recission offer to three investors in regard to such investors' purchase of securities of Alpine Pictures aggregating less then $10,000 which sales were made in reliance on certain exemptions from registration in Illinois prior to completion of the required filings thereto.

    LEGAL OPINION

    Cassidy & Associates, Washington, D.C. has given its opinion as attorneys-at-law that the Units, and the securities comprising the Units, when issued pursuant to the terms hereof will be fully paid and non-assessable. Cassidy & Associates has passed on the validity of the securities being issued but purchasers of the securities offered by this prospectus should not rely on Cassidy & Associates with respect to any other matters.

    James M. Cassidy, a principal of Cassidy & Associates, is an officer and director and controlling shareholder of TPG Capital Corporation, which owns 125,000 shares of the common stock of Alpine.

    Since there's not much movie news this week... I thought I'd write up a blog talking about the upcoming movie "Dorothy of Oz", which is supposed to be out in theaters this year. For those who don't know (I think that most do by now), the movie is a CG animated musical based on the book by Roger S. Baum. Even though from the looks of it, the movie's not much like the book. The movie starts when Dorothy gets back to Kansas in "The Wizard of Oz" and is called back to Oz immediately after by the Scarecrow's latest invention, the Rainbow Mover... yeah. None of that was in Roger Baum's book. The movie's got Lea Michele, Dan Aykroyd, Jim Belushi, Martin Short, Kelsey Grammer, etc.

    Though I'm not involved in the movie or have any direct association with the production, I do happen to stay in contact with several investors and animators from the movie. And though the Facebook and Twitter page have been keeping quiet for some time now, there's a lot going on behind the scenes...

    For starters, half of the movie is being done in California and half of it is being done in India, which is pretty difficult to manage for one director. So, they added Will Finn as a second director, to help out Dan St. Pierre. They are now both in India as well as producer Bonne Radford to supervise work that's being done there by Prana Animation Studios, who was already deep into animating the movie. It seems like when they got there, they noticed a ton of things that needed to be changed with the movie. Especially the characters' design. The designs for the characters that they had done before have apparently been denied because they were too similar to those of the MGM movie, which as we've all heard, is being kept tightly by Warner Bros.

    According to an animator I was speaking to, things are crazy right now. The whole production is a mess. The movie is getting constant re-writes and new designs, which seems to really be slowing down the process. It's less than eight months to the proposed release date, and by the looks of it, the movie will not be ready in time. Which calls for a delay.

    I want to mention that the movie was first announced in 2007 through Animation Magazine, and that the release date has been moved back more than once, so this may not come as a surprise to those who have been really following the movie since before all the recent publicity.

    Another thing that may have slowed the production down is that the state of California has been getting after them on investor-related terms. After filing a complaint against the company (then called Alpine Pictures) in 1999, a Desist and Refrain Order for violations of the Corporations Code was issued by the state in late 2009. Several people who have invested in independent films done by the studio in the past have openly shared their experiences online on websites like this.

    The producers and directors are trying their hardest to get the film released in the winter, but it could be likely that we won't see this film until mid-next year. It's been a long wait for this movie, and there's been a lot of hype surrounding the production. This delay will disappoint people who were interested from the what now seems to be premature advertising. Also, by winter, we'll probably be seeing promotion for Disney's Oz: The Great and Powerful going into high gear, making the release of another Oz film during that time awkward.

    Much as we at the Royal Blog of Oz want to support these films, the timing will almost certainly mean less of a success for one of these.

    Very fascinating report. Though I have a certain interest in this film largely because it's an Oz movie, and to a lesser extent because I like several of the vocal talents they've hired, I can't say my expectations have been especially high since I first read about it, and this news does nothing to strengthen my opinion. Having seen some of the character designs online, I will say that I'm not sure what it is about them that would be considered an infringement on the 1939 movie, except for maybe Dorothy, who does resemble a younger Judy Garland a bit. Now, the Emerald City as seen on the official website, that definitely looks like it was inspired by the MGM musical.

    If the movie does finally get released close to "Oz the Great and Powerful," it wouldn't be the first example of similarly-themed movies coming out around the same time. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I have a feeling "Dorothy of Oz" could be to "Oz the Great and Powerful" as "The 13th Floor" was to "The Matrix."

    Because my husband was on the call.  not sure why there were only a few on there.  Still no Distributor (supposedly trying to get the best deal) which we have heard for forever!!  August 2012 will not happen without a Distributor so now I am guessing next Spring.

    Just sign with a Distributor already!!!!

    And if you weren't on the call (it was short notice) there are supposed to be more coming.  Call them and ask for an update (and of course NOTHING is ever in Writing or Recorded either)

    If after 2 years of looking for the best distribution they have not found it yet then I doubt that anyone even wants it. If they don't have distribution how is Walmart going to get behind te project? It seems like the virtual world they promised as already failed, merchandise looks to be over now, and there seems little hope that this movie will make it into the theaters. Odd that you would mention MLM I guess that is kind of how this is sold isn't it. It seems the smart choice for any savvy investor is to exercise their rights to get their money back.  They may try to avoid that but I assue if you live in California, Texas or any of the states that have issued C&D they will be more obliging. Does anyone know more about the $100M they are supposed to get from the Chinese Goverment?

    karen
    As far as I know nothing was said about Chinese Government.

    I think you are right.  They have until April 30, 2012 to pay everyone back from the latest California lawsuit with out having to pay some major Civil fees.

    I can't help wondering about Walmart myself. After having dealt with them for years in a previous Career I don't see them just sitting around waiting.  Although really they haven't lost anything other than time waiting for the movie to be released.

    I mean look at the latest Eddie Murphy Flop that was just released after sitting on the shelf for 4 years....it was a major bomb.

    It just seems that they are taking forever to get a distributor.  You are right that it has been over 2 years.  Alot of investors also got talked in to buying Alphine Stock too.  Alpine hasn't done anything either as everything they have is in Dorothy of Oz.  I just don't know what to think anymore?

    Karen: it would make sense if there was a shareholder meeting, both in person, and broadcast live on the Internet, so that all shareholders can not only listen to their polished excuses and spin, but also be allowed to address direct questions, and have the opportunity to examine all financial records. How are they paying people back? Where does that money come from? Are they just taking money from new investors to return the money? Have you attended any shareholder meetings for Alpine? They should have all information transparent according to Sarbanes-Oxley.

    Sarbanes–Oxley contains 11 titles that describe specific mandates and requirements for financial reporting. Each title consists of several sections, summarized below.
    Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)
    Title I consists of nine sections and establishes the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, to provide independent oversight of public accounting firms providing audit services ("auditors"). It also creates a central oversight board tasked with registering auditors, defining the specific processes and procedures for compliance audits, inspecting and policing conduct and quality control, and enforcing compliance with the specific mandates of SOX.
    Auditor Independence
    Title II consists of nine sections and establishes standards for external auditor independence, to limit conflicts of interest. It also addresses new auditor approval requirements, audit partner rotation, and auditor reporting requirements. It restricts auditing companies from providing non-audit services (e.g., consulting) for the same clients.
    Corporate Responsibility
    Title III consists of eight sections and mandates that senior executives take individual responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of corporate financial reports. It defines the interaction of external auditors and corporate audit committees, and specifies the responsibility of corporate officers for the accuracy and validity of corporate financial reports. It enumerates specific limits on the behaviors of corporate officers and describes specific forfeitures of benefits and civil penalties for non-compliance. For example, Section 302 requires that the company's "principal officers" (typically the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) certify and approve the integrity of their company financial reports quarterly.[4]
    Enhanced Financial Disclosures
    Title IV consists of nine sections. It describes enhanced reporting requirements for financial transactions, including off-balance-sheet transactions, pro-forma figures and stock transactions of corporate officers. It requires internal controls for assuring the accuracy of financial reports and disclosures, and mandates both audits and reports on those controls. It also requires timely reporting of material changes in financial condition and specific enhanced reviews by the SEC or its agents of corporate reports.
    Analyst Conflicts of Interest
    Title V consists of only one section, which includes measures designed to help restore investor confidence in the reporting of securities analysts. It defines the codes of conduct for securities analysts and requires disclosure of knowable conflicts of interest.
    Commission Resources and Authority
    Title VI consists of four sections and defines practices to restore investor confidence in securities analysts. It also defines the SEC’s authority to censure or bar securities professionals from practice and defines conditions under which a person can be barred from practicing as a broker, advisor, or dealer.
    Studies and Reports
    Title VII consists of five sections and requires the Comptroller General and the SEC to perform various studies and report their findings. Studies and reports include the effects of consolidation of public accounting firms, the role of credit rating agencies in the operation of securities markets, securities violations and enforcement actions, and whether investment banks assisted Enron, Global Crossing and others to manipulate earnings and obfuscate true financial conditions.
    Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability
    Title VIII consists of seven sections and is also referred to as the “Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act of 2002”. It describes specific criminal penalties for manipulation, destruction or alteration of financial records or other interference with investigations, while providing certain protections for whistle-blowers.
    White Collar Crime Penalty Enhancement
    Title IX consists of six sections. This section is also called the “White Collar Crime Penalty Enhancement Act of 2002.” This section increases the criminal penalties associated with white-collar crimes and conspiracies. It recommends stronger sentencing guidelines and specifically adds failure to certify corporate financial reports as a criminal offense.
    Corporate Tax Returns
    Title X consists of one section. Section 1001 states that the Chief Executive Officer should sign the company tax return.
    Corporate Fraud Accountability
    Title XI consists of seven sections. Section 1101 recommends a name for this title as “Corporate Fraud Accountability Act of 2002”. It identifies corporate fraud and records tampering as criminal offenses and joins those offenses to specific penalties. It also revises sentencing guidelines and strengthens their penalties. This enables the SEC to resort to temporarily freezing transactions or payments that have been deemed "large" or "unusual".

    If theses individuals have made a career out of defrauding investors, which it appears that may have for the last 2 decades, and have collecting over $100,000,000 collectively through all of theses scams then there may be risks from not just the SEC, but the FBI as well, I am unsure of their international connections but this could be global. If the movie is physically complete it should be wholly owned by the shareholders and they should have some voice in how the product is used and safeguarded. What is the exit strategy? What if Centineo and the Carroll Brothers go to prison?

    Shouldn't the shareholder meetings be conducted the managing members of the LLC'S instead of a salesperson?

    Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO)

    Enacted as part of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, the Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Statute—commonly known as RICO—was tough legislation that capped a 10-year effort by law enforcement to combat Organized Crime. Prior to the law’s enactment, the Justice Department prosecuted most crimes as single events with multi-defendant cases charged as co-conspirators. But with the new RICO statute, law enforcement finally had the authority to pursue criminal organizations and for the first time seize assets and profits. After World War II the Justice Department was decidedly more interested in catching spies and identifying members of the Communist Party than pursuing crime, but that changed when authorities discovered mobsters had convened a summit meeting in Apalachin, New York in 1957 attended by Mafiosi figures Joseph Bonanno, Carlo Gambino, Vito Genovese, Joseph Proface, Santos Traficante and fifty-seven [57] other known professional hoodlums. Because the summit suggested Mafia leaders were planning increased unlawful activity, the Justice Department realized they needed to intensify efforts to identify crime organizations and come up with a plan targeting membership.
    Described as the Justice Department’s most effective weapon against Organized Crime, RICO enables federal authorities to prosecute predicate crimes as a criminal enterprise—using a single prosecution—versus an individual and/or a group of individuals conspiring to commit a singular criminal act. Specifically, the RICO statute allows law enforcement to investigate/prosecute a criminal enterprise when two or more predicate crimes are committed by the same violator(s) in a ten-year period.  Because the statute gives federal authorities jurisdiction to pursue state violations—as well as seize assets and profits—RICO has become a powerful weapon not only against Organized Crime, but White-Collar-Crime and Public Corruption.
    Convinced crime families threatened the nation’s security—beginning with the Kennedy administration—the Justice Department asked Congress for increased jurisdiction permitting the FBI to target Organized Crime interests. Beginning with the Federal Wire Wager Act, the Travel Act, and later the Interstate Transportation of Wagering Paraphernalia Act, in 1961, the Justice Department succeeded securing legislation enabling the FBI to target “illegal” bookmaking operations and investigate individuals who traveled/used facilities in interstate or foreign commerce to conduct racketeering or unlawful activity.
    In 1968, Congress also passed the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act enabling law enforcement to seek court authorized wiretaps and install microphones. But not until Congress passed the RICO statute did the Justice Department secure the full array of legal weaponry for investigators and prosecutors to combat Organized Crime. For additional information concerning the law’s provisions, interested parties should review the RICO statute which can be found in Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1961 thru 1968.

    Action against cold calling individuals
    In 1999 ASIC obtained Federal Court orders restraining Californian-based Garry William Zinn, a representative of Alpine Pictures Inc (a company whose shares had been sold through The Strategic Alliance Group, a suspected cold calling broker) from selling shares in Australia.
    In 2001, acting within a very tight timeframe, ASIC obtained restraining orders against Paul Richard Bell (alias Dr Richard King), an American citizen involved in selling for several cold calling operations including International Asset Management. Bell had entered Australia for a short visit and was prevented from leaving the country, having already boarded an outward flight. He was charged with, and sentenced for, various securities offences.
    Action against cold calling operations
    As mentioned, ASIC has been active in preparing statements by Australian investors to assist overseas enforcement agencies in bringing cold calling operators to justice, including:
    • Statements by investors who invested through Dreyfus Securities, for the Hong Kong Police for use in the prosecution of Dreyfus and the possible freezing of bank accounts in Hong Kong held by Dreyfus and associated entities
    • Statements by investors who invested through Benson Dupont, the Brinton Group and Sigama, for the Royal Thai Police for use in the prosecution of principals of those suspected cold calling firms, who were arrested in the Thai boiler room raids in Bangkok in July and August 2001.

    It appears that from reading various posts, performing some simple google searches, connecting the dots and examining the investment trends, as well as the recurring names & addresses ( company names change a lot, addresses hop around, but key names appear consistent).  It appears that if you look to Michael Douglas at the bridge group, as Karen suggested, one is able to get a clearer picture of this rather elaborate web. However, it seems conveniently odd their website is now down.   ( maybe under going a name change too, or just sanitizing the site to cover their tracks)

    It's pretty hazy, probably intentionally, but things appear to begin with this company called FNIN. This company was founded in 1992 according to their website. That company appears to be connected to another company called exchange all.  Alpine Pictures and Box Office Productions were at the same address.  Why would a telemarketing company that sells investors names for $18.00 be part of a film production company that just happens to get funding from companies like Dorothy of Oz LLC that cold call private investors?

    Exchange mall appears to have its own sordid history of legal woes and disgruntled investors.

    Alpine seems to have far-reaching global connections to fraud.

    I have read other posts that pretty much outline the course of the investment. They make outlandish claims, raise millions, do a half-ass job ( but manage to get a movie made ) and then completely fail at selling the film and the investors lose all of their money, sometime more if you add in the ridiculous fees charged to IRA accounts.

    It just seems like all of the warning signs are present, the red flags direct one right down into the abyss of failure and loss.  

    Every single component of this so-called oz empire seems to be falling apart. It did seem that a year or so ago that all of this transmedia hogwash might actually make a go of it but then it all just seemed to unravel, I am not sure what happened.

    Interesting website called exchangemall guest book, it appears to be for investors of that company but provides some useful information.

    Comments:
    this company is a scam FYI. i worked for another company they own a few years ago. they own and "run" umpteen companies from the same offices. you want to look up "alpine pictures" and "first national investors network" which seem to be the two core pillars of their


    money raising schemes. they have been under investigation and injunctions against them by many different state attorney generals' office. one day when i worked there and they announced they were going to begin soliciting investments by calling austrailians (seemingly blindy) i knew they were too dangerous to be involved with and quit. Good LUCK !

    I have not yet received a 2011 K-1 for that pitiful BOP investment I made.  What are the chances of me getting back the investment I made in Alpine stock back in 2005?  I do not live in California or Texas.  I actually have thought of declaring the stock worthless and taking the Capital Loss writeoff. I bought the bare minimum thankfully.  I thank the Lord (literally) that I got suspicious immediately and did not make any other investments after the first two which I still kick myself for but I don't lose sleep over them. That does not mean I do not want my money returned.


    What  surprises me is that some of the actors who have been associated with the Oz project are well known and I would presume well paid so therefore have Management teams that should know better than being involved with something like this.  I know more about the music industry than the  motion picture industry to be sure, but I assumed there would be parallels.

    I would write a formal letter and send copies to the SEC, and your state Goverment requesting a return of your investment plus interest.

    Have you contacted any local or federal agencies yet?

    So you can't file your taxes until they get their accounting together. Maybe the trying to figure out which accounting books to use.

    But first I would contact the Bridge Group and ask if you can sell your investment back.  It can't hurt but honestly until you do that I don't think the SEC or anyone else can help you.  JMO

    Upcoming Movies 2013
    < 2012 Movies2013 Movies2014 Movies >
    The 2013 movie release schedule is still shaping up. Nonetheless, a consistent slate of sequels and films based on established properties are looking to dominate cinemas again. In early March, Disney will hope to relive Alice in Wonderland-like box office glory with Sam Raimi’s Oz: The Great and Powerful (based on the Wizard character from Wizard of Oz and starring James Franco).

    With the talents of Christopher Nolan as a producer, Warner Bros. Pictures will try to reboot the famed Superman franchise for worldwide audiences again. Similarly, Lionsgate and High School Musical helmer Kenny Ortega will remake the classic 1987 romantic film, Dirty Dancing (after the studio’s lackluster attempt in 2004’s Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights).

    A much anticipated prequel to 2001’s Monsters Inc., Monster’s University, will reunite the voice talents of John Goodman, Billy Crystal and Mary Gibbs. Similarly, Robert Downey, Jr. will reprise his role as billionaire Tony Stark and a technologically advanced superhero in Iron Man 3, which will lead off the 2013 summer season in early May. A second installment of the mythology-laced Thor, a Johnny Depp-led remake of The Lone Ranger, the second installment in The Hunger Games franchise, and the 12th feature-length Star Trek movie, will likely be huge box office hits too. Other sequels will include The Smurfs 2, a sequel to the comedy-actioner hit RED, family-friendly Despicable Me 2, and a sixth installment in the revved-up Fast and the Furious franchise. The second part of The Hobbit will open in December 2013.... Read More V
