Tale of Two Cities- Markham Ontario 2023 - What some thought was a lucky chance to have the privilege to being invited to invest in a new IoT company that developed their own WIRELESS SUPERHIGHWAY namely IOTICITI NETWORKS INC. (Metro Connect International - Mustang Holdings - Metro Wireless) Darrin Frank and Lou Gallucci began sucking in small investors, family's and small businesses to keep them afloat until they were able to bring in some big investors(FISH). Since 2015 they have had 3 different private placements at various prices, they have received deposits from future business partners, they first told shareholders they were focusing on Canada and the USA, then they were meeting and negotiating with potential Global buyers. Since early 2018 it has been delay after delay after delay having negotiations with various parties to buy ownership, with signings of various partnerships and multiple client agreements. The problem is shareholders were getting verbal updates to all these details via phone calls from the VP of Business Development namely Lou Gallucci. In mid 2021 there was a company evaluation done by Deloitte and by the end of 2021 there were new officers hired CEO Andrew Branion (Former Scotiabank) and COO Michael Friedman (Former Scotiabank) with shareholders being updated by Mr. Gallucci again. In 2022, there was an evaluation completed by the C.T.I.A of Ioticiti’s US and Canadian Spectrum licences which were needed for the negotiations with potential ownership buyers. However, this information has not been shared with any shareholders, only verbal confirmation to a few shareholders by Lou Gallucci. To the present day there has never been a shareholders meeting, vote, or sharing of any documentation. Now many family and friends are fighting because in today's economy, many of the initial small investors need there investment out of Ioticiti before they loose property, businesses and spouses.
Tale of Two Cities- Boca Raton Florida 2006 - Cecil Darrin Frank and his wife Sophia (Opasinis) Frank found guilty of fraud and deported to Canada.
It seems this family easily gets co-conspirators to lie and cheat good hard working people and their families out of their hard earned money, destroys some small businesses and breaks up many families and friendships with no remorse. How do I know that, well when Ronakld Frank lives a high lifestyle and sits in an empty offfice out in Vancouver, brother Cecil Darrin Frank and his wife recently sold two residential homes for approximately $6 million, partly owns an Italian restaurant and drives a Bentley.
Please spread the word to stay clear of all of these people mentioned above and here is some more linkls you can check out and please comment about your experience with any of them.

they are likely out there trying to find more investors and bilk people into their next scam... in fact when we first invested there were some articles on them scattered through old newspapers and internet information.. at the time they said not to pay any attention to the content. dont fall for the wolf in sheeps clothing act... they have no regard for the people they are scamming.

They will tell you their pasts are untrue and you should trust them. They will mention that all of this content and other things you find on the internet and old newspapers is untrue. In many cases they just fluffed off the courts by extending the lawsuits so they exhausted those that were coming after them. They literally bilked people out of their money and resources and used it for lavish lifestyles which they are still enjoying today.
By any means do not believe their claims of innocence - they are all crooks.
Induced Karma is coming.

professional white collar thieves and they all need to be in jail.
AUTHOR: shareholder x - (United States)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, April 23, 2025
professional white collar thieves and they all need to be in jail. there are so many lawfirms, lawyers, accountants etc that were in on the grift; it truly is unbelievable.
i cannot believe the injustice of both the canadian and american law systems.
after destroying peoples lives these people still roam free; after further investigation people were actually hurt quite badly by having their retirement funds robbed from them.
hopefully there is some level of truth and justice to all of this.
these people need to be in jail.

AUTHOR: Rosenburg - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Monday, March 31, 2025
ANYONE DOING ANY BUSINESS WITH THOSE IN THE MAIN REPORT CANNOT BE TRUSTED. IF YOU COME ACROSS THEM; LET YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY and COLLEAGUES KNOW.
After weeks of talking to previous share holders all over the americas we are seeing that they should all be in jail --- what they did is truly criminal, destroyed families, destroyed livelyhoods and familial wealth. We (the shareholders) assume they are continuing to act in the same manner.
Do not trust them in any line of business; even if they are running a hot dog cart.
They are truly sick individuals; all actors, grifters and liars.
Hopefully this world has some ethical and moral consequence left in it.
My prayers to all the other families and individuals whom have been destroyed by these grifters.

politicking grifters
AUTHOR: liberal vs conservative - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, December 07, 2024
they will grift and switch sides to wherever they see the pot of gold; they will support other grifty politicians whom switch sides ie. liberal to conservative. they will also throw you under a bus or two when they get exposed.
do not have them around you or your riding/party unless you want to open up a can of worms. they cannot be trusted.

#40 REBUTTAL Individual responds
none of them can be trusted
AUTHOR: disgusted - (United States)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, December 07, 2024
the orchestrators of the ripp off cannot be trusted; they knew the corporate acts and have been in business for a very long time.
they even had high end lawfirms participate and possibly give them guidance in their grift.
look at the share registry and try to explain some of those people in there.
destroying people and families lives should not be encouraged in the courts; what they did was so wrong and such a large scale both in the usa and canada; possibly elsewhere as well.
if you are doing business with these people even after reading this we (the group) would suggest not having anything to do with them.
if you investigate each an every one of them you will see that they have quite a dishonest background but will swear to you they got off free and clear; to which they did not. They likely used your investment dollars to pay people off to give them a clean slate.
christmas is coming and i pray they have a terrible one as we have for years now.

SUBMITTED: Monday, November 11, 2024
My group and i would like to suggest that anybody that is still doing work with any of these people commented in this article and all the comments to stay very far from them away from.
from our understanding they are still fund raising for more grifts that they have not put together.
we determined through discussions with many investors that they actually had a boiler room running selling radio licenses under many different companies --- these assets should have been rolled up into ioticiti and metro connect --- they were not.
this is highly illegal and we are hoping the authorities will help everyone whom had their lives ruined by these grifters.
their political affiliations and people around them are also to be speculated to a great degree
the authorities have been notified in the usa and in canada; hopefully we will see some truth and justice soon.
people deserve to know who did this to them; we have a feeling there are a lot more people involved than what we see on the surface; destroyed their families through putting trust in them and why they did it

they continued to grift and bring in more investors well into 2022
we had been involved with them for 5 years at that point and we were always told things were promising and the business was being built properly and the reason it was taking so long is that they had to do all the due dilligence
be careful with these people

We put a lot of our family money into ioticiti due to the constant bs that we were promised by Darren, Lou and Jordan.
We were involved for so many years and we put more and more money in as we received assurances that metro connect and then ioticiti was going to have breakthroughs.
They literally destroyed my family and my relationship with my spouse because my group invested with ioticiti. With family emergencies, sicknesses and now employment issues due to sickness; the business team at ioticiti has destroyed my kids lives.
These thieves should no be allowed to walk free in the world.
Their ; the ioticiti business team families should reflect on the disgraceful nature of their family members.
They should probably do what is right and come clean for their futures as well.

to think that a bunch of "well to do" business people on linkedin with great feats of business grandeure in the public and private sector couldnt get their act together to maintain some level of integrity...
anybody reading these comments from the poor people that were ripped off should make this go viral as they hurt a lot of families and individuals.

I cant wait to hear more on this case it looks like a lot of people were involved and the business team were big into white collar crime and likely throughout their business careers prior to ioticiti. I bet it was just amplified when they all got together. Good to see there is some potential for these poor families that were ripped off. Lets hope the court system has some morals and ethics; i have faith in our judicial systems even though white collar criminals should be treated far more harshly for the generational damage it does.

how can they be such blatant liars straight to my face. I brought in my brothers as well for investment and i have to deal with the fall out now? They have really hurt many many relationships because of their greed.
hopefully the all of this will be brought to light and a form of justice will be served.

more and more sharelholders are getting together and we are finding that so many families and businesses have been affected by ioticiti's complete lack of transparancy. Consider the stories you have been told and who really drove the investment opportunity at you.

BDC and Fund Raising.
AUTHOR: tim horton - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 31, 2023
To the external shreholders it was a no brainer for ioticiti to go to the BDC; especially with the tech they were developing. Many of us had good interactions with the BDC and were successful in using them to get our businesses going. For years this subject was brought up and often the replies were in the form of deflection or appeasement with no action.
Everyone on the business team was complicit in this deflection.
After finding out what happened in december of 2022 when the accounts were exposed it makes absolute sense that the BDC business loans were discouraged.

What i dont understand is how the executives can be just allowed to tuck tail and run. After all they put out some great stuff and were working closely with the government.
why would someone risk all of this? why wouldnt they try and get their backend dealings in order as so much is on the line?

Michael Friedman, Chris Macloed, Andrew Branion, Lou Gallucci and Jordan Gallucci - exit from the company with no minutes or agm distributed to anyone.
why didnt any of the business executive team/board of directors put together an AGM to annouce their departure from the company?
why didnt they put together an AGM in 2022 when they began pointing fingers at one another for the mishandling of the funds by ioticiti business executives?
knowing this was all going on how could they continue to fundraise into late November 2022.... this all doesnt make any sense unless they were all in on the laundering of the $'s coming in?
so immoral and unethical.. absolutely disgusting bunch.

SNRED Credits - We understand now why they were never obliged even though many of us knew what we were doing at ioticiti would qualify for all the SNRED credits.

Radio development - we made a radio that is in the field
sensor stack development - we made a product that is in the field
it operations work
software/hardware development for construction applications
and much more.
Being well versed in R&D and product development the SNRED program in canada is an excellent means to recoup R&D money for all the work that was being done by the development team.
Some of us would request the use of the SNRED but the executives would nay say it and said it wasnt worth it. This went on for years... despite knowing that SNRED can recoup 40% if not more of the R&D expenses. This should have been a red flag for many of us but we had a lot of trust at the time in the executive team.
Some of the lead technical staff were never paid and would often put in 70 hour weeks to get the development done. The premise around the work conducted was always we are almost there and the big payout was coming. We were terribly mislead and its horrible that some of the executives were paying for their own homes, cars, family cars and expenses etc on the backs of both the tech team and the shareholders investment dollars.
The immoral and unethical behaviour of the executive business team is absolutely abhorrent.

All the executives participated in fund raising for a decade. Nobody at any time considered calling out where the money was going even though cheques were directly handed to them.

This in iteself is incredibly hard to believe.
Logic would dictate that all those listed here: https://www.ripoffreport.com/report/ioticiti-networks-metro/markham-ontario-cecil-darren-1526275
--- Would at some point consider checking on where the 10's of millions of $'s were deposited; and for a company that had no product out there how was there burn rate so high?
At no point did any reflect on the ethical nature or the fudiciary responsibilities in managing peoples money? Especially those they had a personal relationship with whom were banking on ioticiti/metro connect being successful?
Was everyone in on it? Even those in British Columbia where they were headquartered out of?
All these questions need to be addressed but after being taken to the cleaners by ioticiti many of us do not have the funds to support lawyers. Meanwhile all of the ioticiti business corporate team and their offspring are driving high end vehicles and living in high end homes.
This is all so surreal and sickening.
