Jan Gaudina, Ameradream Corporation Fraud, Infringers Boulder Colorado

I want to apology to Bill Vaughn and Intellibiz for saying anything that may have hurt their reputations. I listed a link on this site and one of my sites that referred to complaints of Bill Vaughn and Intellibiz as well as Chuck Hall.

They had about seven complaints of various nature on this site. Only seven! Thats remarkable when you consider he has mentored as many as 18,000 students over the last 21 years. What a great track record.

In the above report I have not taken any responsibility for what had happened between us. My head was in the sand. If I had of stepped up to the plate and taken responsibility for my actions none of this would have happened.

I truly believe Bill and I could have worked it out if there had been good communication between us prior to any legal action. Im truly sorry Bill.

Gaudina is struggling to look honest, and is failing. Yes, a settlement was OFFERED, but never consummated because, as even he admits, he never paid the amount he agreed to. In fact, he never paid a penny. That voids any settlement offer and therefore there was no settlement. And therefore, I was not bound by any agreement that he had already made null and void by defaulting on. If you promise to mow the lawn, but do not mow it, can you say the lawn is mowed? No. And a settlement may "end" a lawsuit but does not negate the finding of fault - the suit had culminated, and in it as can be seen (I provided the docket number) he was found to have infringed and was ordered to pay. The order would be waived ONLY if he agreed to, and completed the terms of the settlement offer. He never completed them. Never even tried to start. Never paid a dime.

And I have never libeled Gaudina - the truth is not libel. Furthermore, if I had libeled him, you can bet he would have sued to get out from under the $45,250 he and his company owe me by court order.

He says he "thought he had permission" to infringe my works. Not sure how he could come to that conclusion since I don't know anyone who would grant free use of their copyrights to complete strangers. He says he never profited from them, but when you offer 14 books and patented agreement software as a "free bonus", it will bring you customers, so he DID profit.

In court, Gaudina proved he was not wealthy, which pretty much says he is a fraud - his website said he was wealthy, using that deception to trick consumers into sending him money. And the Boulder Police Department told us that they are VERY familiar with Gaudina.

He can try to defend stealing someone else's works via copyright and trademark infringement and offering them as incentives for people to buy his product, and he can try to justify not paying even one cent of what the court ordered him to pay. But it all says the same thing - and I need not say what that is.

Gaudina and his company Ameradream still owe me $45,250, yet he doesn't understand why I won't just let go of the past. It's easy to see why HE wants to let go, but as for me, I would like to see some of what the court ordered him to pay.

Bill Vaughn likes to call people names like dummy, stupid, moron, stupid, etc. I believe to try to feel that he is superior to everyone else. Kind of like a Bully. I have many emails from him where he has called me those names. He also threatens people with prison and jail if he isnt paid. I have emails verifying that as well.

We do have a settlement agreement which ended the lawsuit. That agreement has been broken by both of us. I did not pay Bill, and Bill Vaughn disclosed the terms of the agreement on the Internet which was a violation of the agreement. See next paragraph.  

4. Confidentiality. The Parties shall maintain this Settlement Agreement and the matters set forth herein as confidential and not for display or publication of any kind, whether written or oral, except by the prior written consent of the other parties, provided that the Parties may communicate the details of the settlement to their respective employees, insurance representatives, agents and others with a need to know.   The Parties agree that upon inquiry, the Parties will disclose solely that the Litigation has been settled on terms mutually agreeable to the Parties, without disclosing any further the terms of the agreement.

If you will read his report above as and go to his website http://www.intellibiz.com/complaints.htm anyone  can easily see that he broke the confidentiality agreement. He has also put stuff on the Internet and his site that could be considered libel.

When I sold my real estate course I thought I had permission from the company to offer some of his works provided I didnt charge for his works and that I gave him full credit for his works. I never profited one penny from the stuff I gave away. In fact I still wonder how many courses he sold of his course from any of my referrals.  Since I have been on the Internet I have been an affiliate for many programs.

I think Bill would be better off to put his energies into something positive rather than to dwell on the past. He has many complaints regarding his business dealings that should take number one spot in his business dealings. http://www.ripoffreport.com/Search/intellibiz.aspx

Gaudina was sued in U.S. District Court Maine,
Civil Action No.: 07-23-P-H for infringing the works of Bill Vaughn. The court found he had infringed and a large amount was awarded to Vaughn. Gaudina convinced the court he was not wealthy as he advertises, so Vaughn OFFERED a settlement for much less. Guadina agreed to the settlement, but never paid a penny of it. Promising to settle is NOT settling. After 4 years Gaudina has not paid a penny for having infringed Vaughns works for 5 years and selling them for his own profit. He keeps telling people he "settled", but he did not - a settlement requires he comply with the terms of the settlement. He did not. If he wants to claim there was a settlement, then he needs to cough up and pay his debt.

Bill Vaughn, author of "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" Offered by IntelliBiz, had an agreement with Jan Gaudina and AmeraDream Corporation with regard to a settlement they had made in 2008.

Bill Vaughn accused Jan of using some of the copyrighted works of his and selling them as his own? He claimed I sold many thousands of copies at a minimum of $299 per copy (even though IntelliBiz, (Bill Vaughn) gave away the products he is refering to FREE if someone bought his main course they offer at under $100).

This is an out right lie. The facts are that I bought his course and liked some of the software and articles he had. He did not sell the software or the articles as they came free with his course as I mentioned above.

I wrote intelliBiz sometime in 2002 and asked  if  I could offer some of the free articles free of charge with my real estate course. I also wanted to include a piece of his software free of charge. I never made a penny from giving away free these bonuses on the courses of mine. In fact I gave Bill Vaughn full credit for the material not only on my website but with the course that was mailed.

In addition I had a link on my web site linking to his site in case people wanted to see what he was selling. I had never received any money from Bill Vaughn on sales made my anyone that may have purchased his course through my link or referral.

He is claiming he won the lawsuit but the fact is I settled the lawsuit with Bill Vaughn agreeing to pay a small amount. Acording to the agreement neither party was to disclose the terms of the settlement. Bill Vaughn has broken that agreement and because of that I have not paid what I agreed to.

In addition I may be filing a lawsuit of my own for lible for what he said in Ripoff Report and as well as other things he has posted on the Internet.

If I were Bill Vaughn I would think I would try to clean up my own mess with the complaints he has against him at ripoff report than to worry about something as trival as what happened between him and me.
