I also have listings of several investors that have assetts totally over 1 million dollars iinvested combined, I will be contacting those people via whatever means necessary to bring them up to speed with what may be happening with their money's invested with these people and their businesses and/or investment or consulting companies.
Again I will be one of the watchdogs for this company to make sure that their practices do not continue to cheat people out of their money or cheat employess out of payroll and/or benefits that are due to them.

AUTHOR: rlw626 - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, February 28, 2012
This type of behavior is clearly the actions of someone that has many many things to hide from people in the hopes that they will give up and go away. Unfortunately that will not happen with these people , until things are set right with those that he has scammed or cheated out of money , payroll, taxes etc , I will continue to monitor and update things , currently he is giving out very few w2's and such to maybe a few people , but the info on them is mostly bogus, false state tax id numbers, incorrect addresses etc, so even though those people may be able to file , it may create other problems in the future for them, I have contacted the state of montana and they have confirmed that his state tax id number is fake and that he has not paid taxes withheld to the state and has not paid ANY unemployment taxes to the state.
Therefore those that may end up on unemployment may not get the benefits they are entitled to because of his intentional fraudulant actions and decietful practices, their current and new business ventures will be made public also as they come along to keep others informed as to his ongoing businesses, in hopes that no more in the future will become victims in his business scams as employees or investors.
Be sure to pass this link and the other links in this report to as many as you can to pass the word of these peopel and to protect others from falling prey to them, I will be sorking on spreading the word of this greatly , through facebook links and myspace links and twitter links etc, I have a vast set of resources to do this and I hope that I can help others that have been taken advantage of by these people if I can, let anyone know if they need help to contact me and I will see what I can do for them.
Till next posting ..always be aware of what is going on ....

Oh boy...what a joke
AUTHOR: urascamartist - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, October 03, 2011
Rick you're a joke. He is a scam artist
period. Let me name off FACTS of Rick and Lori. By
the way this is coming from someone that does not hate them; I just simply know
the facts, first handed. I really could give a care less about them or their
horrible ways of life, I just think anyone involved with these scam artists
should probably know the truth.
Let's start with #1: Rick has written postdated
checks to his employees in the past, which BOUNCED. FYI it's illegal to write
postdated checks to employees.
#2: Rick disappears for weeks at a time.
#3: He has NOT paid his employees what he owes them, for HOURS of work that
they have done.
#4: He didn't have the "funds" to pay his employees, but he has the
funds to spend weeks in Florida with his shady "right hand man", and
he ALSO had the funds to put himself and his family up in a pretty nice hotel
for MONTHS, AND go on vacations with his lovely shady wife to Vegas.
#5: Being the professional he is, he let his daughter, her daughter, and boyfriend
live in the office, really.
#6: Not only did he let his daughter live in the office, but use drugs at that
location.
#7: Lori AND Rick used their kid to do their dirty work.
#8: He shut all of his "offices" down one by one, one right after the
other, NOT paying his employees, after he has already done this before, stating
he lost the investors money. OR, he just used all of that money to live off
of and take vacations and put his family up in a hotel, which is the obvious truth.
#9: He doesn't have the money to pay his employees or investors, but he has
money to buy all brand new computers, printers, ink, office supplies, desks,
chairs, and whatever else was in his
offices.
#10: last but not least I love that he is posting things on this site like he
is an investor. Rick lets be realistic, you, your wife, your shady right hand
(wo)man, or your child posted that. No investor would have posted that they are
just ok with you losing their money. Please lets
not be so shady, although that's what you are best at. I have to laugh out loud
at you Rick, investors also wouldn't know anything about your employees habits
at work, or their work performance. SO maybe next time you pretend to be an
investor on this site, you might want to think about things before you write
them. Aren't you a smart man.
All in all, Rick is just a really bad person. He uses people, scams people, and
hires people to do useless work and then not pay them, so that his scam look
legitimate
to his employees. I know all of this because I saw it, I lived it, and I just
think he is a messed up person, and maybe mentally ill. I know that nobody with
a conscience could possibly do that to people. So Rick, look at you now, you
have investigators on you, and I don't even care to know how many reports
against you. How does it feel to know you might possibly be sitting in prison
soon, instead of running off to Vegas and Florida with investors money? Have
fun with that. Just thought I would warn anyone who might get tangled up with
these scam
artists. Just stay away, if he hires and you figure it out like most of his
employees in the past have, run while he has paid you what he has so far, and
get the heck out of there.

Rick Reynolds uses the following names (a.k.a.'s) Richard Franklin Reynolds,
Richard Franklin Reynolds-Adkins, Rick F. Reynolds, Rick F. Reynolds-Adkins,
Richard Patrick Adkins, Rick P. Adkins, Rick Adkins as well as other variation's.
If the business is not in his name it may appear in his wife's name: Lori S. Reynolds (a.k.as) Lori Sue Reynolds, Lori Schulz, Lori S. Schulz, Lori Sue Schulz, or variations of or one of his children.
You may search business entities in your state by agents and find his business and if it is dissolved or active. Currently he and his family was still living in Bozeman, Montana and running online businesses such as consulting firms, directories, online stores, and was working toward starting an online church organization.
Here is some of his business names he (they) use: Bakery Management Inc.;, The Buffalo Exchange, LLP.;, The Buffalo Extension, LLP.; The Buffalo Investment Group, Inc.;, Chec * King of Springfield, Inc.;, Consulting Investors Inc.; Gareena, Inc.; http://www.gareena.com/
Lorick, Inc.; The Lorick Limited Partnership; Plus 5 Market, Inc.; http://www.plus5market.com/
Plus*5*Market, Inc.;Real Cost Plus, Inc.; http://realcostplus.com/Real World Direct, Inc.; http://realworlddirect.com/Contact/The Real World Direct Corporation; ShareValue, Inc; (of interest: http://www.sos.mo.gov/securities/orders/AP-09-03a.asp)ShareValue Montana, Inc.;
(of interest: http://sao.mt.gov/news/20090623MLMScheme.html)United Christians Investments Corporation; United Consultant Investment Corporation; http://ucicservices.com
These businesses may be registered in states such as: Montana Kansas Missouri Nevada
He has employees working in many states that may not be aware of his operations. Some states are but, not limited to: Virginia Texas Tennessee Georgia Florida California Louisiana Oklahoma. As well as sales agents that work abroad for investors in China, Russia, Germany and other countries. He also runs virtual offices out of Bozeman Mt, at 1627 Main St Suite 301, Whitefish Mt, under Northwest Registered Agent LLC at 505 East 2Nd Suite B, 59937, and Lake Tahoe( State Line) Nevada, PO Box 4470, 297 Kingsbury Grade Suite 1036, and suite 1037 for Plus 5 Market PO Box 4470, through Nevada123.com in order to setup a shelf corp. so to appear as though been in business longer than he actually has been for more new companies.
Everyone should read the original post and realize that the information is what happens in each and every one of his businesses. He will lay quiet for a while (or as he states: "he is going deep into hiding") To investor's or potential investor's be aware that the delay in report's are the norm and the lack of paying taxes, unemployment taxes, S.S taxes, federal taxes, state taxes etc. is also the norm. The business also maintained various federal tax id numbers but did not have valid state withholding numbers on tax forms sent to previous employees. Check deeply before working or investing with him or his family and in their businesses! Yes he and his family did live at the "Cmon in Inn" in Bozeman from Nov 2010 until March 2011 and also have taken many "business trips" that gave "employees" benefit's of expensive clothing, dining and entertainment, and paid for private Nannies for his children.
Should you have questions about the document's or information I have provided, realize this is all public accessible information and you can research just as easily as I have. This is only part of what I have collected on public information and does not include all of the court document / case that are filed. Information that is not public is not posted as of yet.
I am still in the process of researching and compiling further information on any and all aliass, businesses or corporations or any and all business ventures currently and or past that may be out there in order to further inform the public of these type of business dealings.

Honest Dealings and Pure Satisfaction with Rick Reynolds and Co./Share Value
AUTHOR: Anonymous m - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, September 01, 2011
It is in self-respect that an employee would realize their wrong-doing and except the consequences, with-out baseless falsehoods in hopes of suing or for a settlement. As an employee and investor I have been only pleased and satisfied with Rick Reynolds and Co./Share Value. Rick is one the few hands-on, hardworking, HONEST Investors out there, with his INNOVATIVE ideas, and brilliant cutting edge investments and we realize there is never a guarantee with any investment, as clearly stated in his disclaimers in bold.
My first question is: If you could count the number of employees you've ever had and ratio of ones that you had to fire. How many were "disgruntled". How many would you have? My second question is: Has anyone seen the alarming stock market fluctuations, in the last month, the last year, the last few years? We are all affected by this, directly at times and indirectly often. My third question is: Have you ever gambled? Gone to a casino? Did you always win? My fourth question is: For over thirty years Rick Reynolds has had many companies and hundreds of satisfied investors, and why do they keep coming to him again and again?
It is because more often than not, he makes more for us, and certainly more than any bank would. Alot more.
