Brett Weaks, Jenny Belt, Fearghal McCarthy & off the cuff media Off the cuff media and capture those travelers. Vancouver Washington

To Whom It May Concern,  

  I live in Vancouver Washington.  I developed a business concept in November 2019 and was approached by a person I had worked with to discuss a partnership using my business concept and sweat equity.  I original discussed my concept with my current employer and approached them with the opportunity to partner including my friend Janaya in the operation because while she was on maternity leave they replaced her with a working manager who performed better and so upon her return she did have a job but it was on a sales level and not management. 

A couple of days before moving forward with my current employer I was approached by Janaya to meet with Brett to discuss partnering because he would give us more of a split compared to what was or had been negotiated with the current employer. 

I did not want to partner with Brett at all due to what happened with Core Brand Solutions and believed despite his explanation that he contributed to the demise of that business which also did not pay some of the employees and Brett was also provided with some work claims and lost by two employees one who is named Dillion. 

Furthermore only went with Brett at the direction of my friend Janaya and did not realize they were having an affair until January during a visit to a networking group in Portland and also can be documented as they were approached by police in the parking lot of Capture Those Travelers that night. 

Agian this is when I found out about the affair and that is what caused the demise of our freindship and or partnership.  Brett incouraged me to not work or partner with Janaya as she grew more involved with Brett and Brett stated she was threatning his famliy life and therefor he was not sure he wanted to continue with Emerald Screens. 

I assured him we could make it and without the distraction of Janaya and threat of his family life if he was in for the support and the split we could continue.  He agreed.  He brought the operating agreement to reflect that split.  Again dated and signed by Brett on 4/10/18.     I partnered with a friend of mine and one of our colleagues.  We were going to split the business 40/40/20 split.  3 members. 

The business colleague obtained the business license, and both him and I open a business account and started building the business.  His contribution was financial and business advise and direction.  He in return for those contributions would get 20%.  He estimates that contribution is around $22,000.  

  We started producing and we took on employees in March 2018 and at that time he (20%) partner seduced my friend and (40 percent partner) which caused tension and hindered production so I explained to him that I would not work in these conditions and going forward if he wanted to support my concept I would not work with her (40 percent partner).

I explained that in the event he wanted to continue his affair he would need to employ her at his office.  Because his business is owned by Off The Cuff Media he was unable to employee her because Jenny  Belt his live in girlfriend is aware of a previous affair and would not allow her to be one of his employees. 

She then was out of the picture and at that point I explained if he wanted to move forward we would do so under the same agreement meaning I contribute concept and he contributes financial support and business guidance and we would do so at a 50/50 split at my recommendation trying to be fair and not absorb her 40 percent making my share 60 and his 40.   

During the next couple of months we continued to produce and deliver.  We went from an office the size of a closet housing 4 people to a bigger office housing 8-10 people.  During this time we continued to build, work 12 hour days operating to drive production and sales and growing. 

Some of the things that occurred during this time are as follows.     3/26/18 Janaya exits and balance is $1159 in the bank.   4/10/18 Brett provides operating agreement 50/50/19 split.   3/18- 7/18 Working out of Regis office in Camas with 10 employees.  

Brett charging payroll to Emerald Screens for Johnny Fontana, Jenny Souto, Matt Souto, Grayson IT Technical, Brittany Scott, Emma the art person, Charlie Ferguson HR  Please note I was being charged for Jenny Souto even though he owed Jenny Souto and her boyfriend from a previous loan he had given Brett when he started Capture Those Travelers and convinced Jenny that the 15 percent he owed her and her boyfriend he would give to them thru shares in Emerald Screens.  His shares. 

He also states from time to time when I ask him about that money he used and promised he would pay them in equity of his business Capture Those Travelers and after that was not part of his plan used Emerald Screens to negotiate ownership and return.  Fearghal and Brett, Myself and Jenny Souto and her boyfriend who happens to be a very honest hardworking person as they all are and invested in what he thought would be a legitimate investment and return and then found out how Brett operates. 

Not sure of the outcome.     6/18 thru 8/18 Brett suggested (because he needed Johnny Fontana who was living in his office at 14300 SE 1st, Vancouver at Capture Those Travelers because Brett wanted to bring in Fearghal McCarthy who is a person who I had never met or agreed to partner with and believed he specialized in acquisitions and hostile takeovers.    

I moved from my home in Salmon Creek and Move into a property where we worked in my basement.  This freed up space for Johnny Fontana and Matt Souto who Brett wanted to test scripts and or other technical ideas and in order to work more closely brought Matt Souto and his son here to live for that purpose.  Matt was also helping with art and videos for customers. 

Up until then we were paying Max Weston for artwork working from his home as he was Janayas cousin and that was the case up until the split at the end of March 2018.  Brett was also aware that Johhny Fontana need cable and internet due to processing payments via a virtual merchant and Matt Souto needing access to the internet. 

The other utilities were the usual ie... water, garbage, electric and gas.  Upon Brett who also promised Johnny Fontana equity in Capture Those Travlers was cut out of the business by Brett and sent home to Detroit with very little monies and infact asked Brett for plain fare and ended up getting help with plain fare from his brother. 

Brett also wrote in the second operating agreement with regards to Johnny Fontana. The property in Salmon Creek was $2200 per month.  The Regis office was also around $2200 and infact later learned that we were in fact in a lease until August and were responsible for the rents and the deposit was returned after that.     

Please also note in order for me to move which was in April 2018 I needed a deposit for the new property and that came from the business with the intention of using the basement to operate rather than the high rents in the Regus office and so we did just that moved to the basement and at that point Brett called the Americas phone guys and they came out and wired the basement for phones and we had comcast business for internet. 

The deposit for the new place was $5000 and the rent was $2450 plus utilities such as internet and cable, garbage, electric, gas ect.     Again the plan of action was to save money and be able to provide living quarters for employees who needed it.  Brett exchanged work instead of wages and that was done with the accounting of Jenny Belt. 

One of the employees who Brett offered living arrangements was not permitted by several of the roommates.  This was determined because the girlfriend of the employee had mental issues that were documented and because some of the roommates have children they determined they were not comfortable. 

We also rented to Trista Hendrix and her children and Lela Brewster and Her Sister.  All employees except for Lelas sister.     8 months this lease was in place in which employees rented all rooms except for one.  Also note that the deposit was returned based on the property being returned in good shape.  We did have a small deduction for garbage removal over the normal weekly amount upon move out however all of the people who lived at this property can attest to this live/work relationship. 

Brett and Fearghal were aware of the lease and the cost and living arrangements.  They also were aware and approved of the move out from Regis to the new location at 6404 Montana Lane where the business operated in the basement.    

Please also note that the Company Picnic for both Capture those Travelers and Emerald Screens was held at the house where the company was moved in late July.  6604 Montana Lane.  We had a company gathering where Brett gave Brittany a winning ticket to Las Vegas a trip that was related to business. 

I also attended the trip as the host and what I thought was an co owner.  That Trip took place in October. We also had Thad the manager and Olivia my daughter who was the HR/admin and also note monies were taken out of all of our checks for plain fare and hotel even though the trip was a business trip.  

  In August we moved the office from the basement to the location of 311 East Reserve Street where the rent was in the amount of $1200.  The office was again wired by Americas Phone Guys at the direction of Brett and we were operating again.  We were then faced with an L&I audit.  Because Brett was not taxing spiffs as income and paying some people off the books and or trading living expenses he then came to me with an operating agreement dating back to 4/1 with the business ownership as Off The Cuff Media owing 51 percent ownership and my ownership would be 49 percent. 

I questioned Brett in front of my office about this agreement and he explained that it was necessary to offset the liability of Off the Cuff Media and to explain the financial support and the fact that we were a new business ect and assured me that once we made it successfully thru the audit he would revert back to the original agreement dated 4/10/18 and please note the operating agreement 51/49 is dated 4/1/18. 

Please note that the team of Brett, Jenny Belt, Fearghal McCarthy, Brittany Scott and Charlie Ferguson provided a binder of proof outlining the information they were looking for and worked with the gentleman from L&I I think his name was Bernie and they went thru everything behind closed doors with Jenny Belt and Fearghal McCarthy and we received a very low fine. 

For preparation Jenny went thru the books and did whatever she did and they charged everyone's checks for spiffs that were not taxed and Martin and I believe Thad for cash they received and or spiffs that also was not taxed or reported.  Martin worked for cash for months and has record of such. 

All cash that was paid to Martin is on a sheet he has or had on his computer. I also noted this in an email accounting for the first 4 months of accounting in which Jenny Belt was not included during the time in which Janaya was part of our team.  Again,  my role is day to day operations such as oversight of production, sales, customer service, delivery ect.

  I coordinated recruiting, hiring, training, daily meetings, and made all decisions for the operations for the entire first year.  I drove sales and delivery.  Delivering and installing 40 out of 45 accounts.  I hired a lenox administrator in June due to Grayson Bretts IT person not being able to help us deliver the device and me knowing and recognizing that in order to deliver we needed to fill that spot and also had hired a person named Matthew Hughes to fill the spot of building devises, upload, maintenance ect.    

I was the person with the business concept and accounts. Brett was the person who was contributing business guidance and financial support and that was his contribution for his share in the business.   To Whom It May Concern,     I live in Vancouver Washington.

Please also note that all accounting and payroll is done by Jenny Belt and has been since her insertion in April 2018.  She is in charge of the reporting of new employees, garnishments and paying of the taxes.  She is also the person who made changes to the merchant unauthorized changes re routing the money to other accounts that I am not a signer. 

I have been asking for a guaranteed payment since 4/12 when I noticed the deposit was not set up.  I was told that there was not enough to make payroll and to keep selling we needed only $10,000 more and if we had anything left they would think about it paying me.

 Emerald screens was taken over  completely in a hostile manner shutting down all data available to the employees to be able to service customers the Internet which is a business account in the name of Brett weeks was also shut off the phones for emerald screens were also shut down abruptly without notice please note Brett weeks did not send out a notice to the existing customers in which he has access to their information warning them that if they were about to contact emerald screens here’s how to do that he did not notify the vendors Giving them an alternative number and/or email to contact he cut all lines of communication and now these customers feel scammed when all the employees at Emerald screens operated in good faith and what Brett weeks tried to do was to convince the employees that if they wanted to get paid because he did not pay them and there are 15 cleans with the department of labor and industries in the state of Washington do you to Brett weeks and Jenny Belt not paying for payroll that should’ve been issued on April 20 they tried to call her the entire team of employees to come to the capture those travelers office located at 14300South E. 1st St. so that they could work on a 100 commission basis selling ads on the screens for emerald screens and they would then earn their paycheck the employees declined he is in fact selling screens and/or sales on screens at his location capture those travelers he also has plans of opening up a new office in Florida helping a new person with their business which will ultimately end up helping himself to their business
