Here's the thing..Kent Ackerman...I'm going to make this very simple and sweet for you...

People can talk alot of trash about people.  But the difference between your problem with me is that you have no evidence of anything that you are talking about...but I do have evidence against you.  Stop talking about me with others and stop trying to reach out to my contacts.  We gave you a cease and desist for a reason.  This goes for Darlene East as well. 

The next response will be from our lawyers if you two individuals don't knock it off. 

Mr. Ackerman, just a little advice. I'm not passing any judgment for either you or the original poster, but I got to tell you, as soon as I see biblical quotes and professions of faith thrown into a business dispute, my pendulum begins to sway toward the plaintiff. I'm not saying that people who do wear their faith on their sleeve are dishonest, but my own personal experience has been one of disappointment with outwardly professing religious business folk. Whenever a business rep begins to talk the bible game with me, I tend to hesitate to continue doing business with them.

Just some advice based on that experience, that you may best serve your cause by laying off the bible quotes.

As for which of you is the wronged party, I'm just curious. Is YOUR Blue Rise Global in Washington State the same as this one that was involved in a 2017 bankruptcy?

Isaiah 54:17
No weapon formed against thee shall prosper; and ever tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteous is of me saith the Lord.

On April 30, 2018 we were made aware of a past business associate and potential client posting a complaint on ripoffreport.com about us.  Upon reading what was written we both were astonished how easily someone can use social media as a tool to spread inaccurate information and attempt to tarnish our individual reputations simply because things did not turn out the way he wanted them to turn out.  We both made individual decisions to walk away or refuse to provide funding because what we saw in him as a person and the experiences we had working with him.  His quick to temper approach, his poor communication skills, and poor work ethic convinced us that eliminating him from our professional and personal lives was the best thing to do.  Of most concerning to us was his consistent disrespect to people when they did not agree with him.  It took us over 8 months to finally decide to address the complaint knowing we had done nothing wrong and the statements in the complaint were not true.  Our first reaction as Christians was to “rise above” and not give him the satisfaction of arguing and disagreeing.

Both Darlene East and I can provide personal references proving that the statements made in these complaints are not true.  Our references come from our multiple years of working with experienced real estate agents, general contractors, engineers, fellow investors, lawyers, and even private investigators.  Everyone who had contact with this individual would pull us to the side inquiring why we were aligned with him.  In all cases our references will state he is dishonest person who is quick to anger and prone to violence who is incredibly rude and treats most everyone with no respect.  Each of these references will gladly provide testimony to prove these complaints a fabrication.

We feel most people are savvy enough and intelligent enough to know most of what is posted on the internet is trash and total fabrication.  Often it is the case the individual did not get what they wanted and looks to blame others when things do not go right.  This is exactly what has happened here.  We both welcome an opportunity to talk about these complaints.  We would much rather have open and transparent personal conversations with anyone concerned.

After almost a year of ignoring these complaints we decided to finally write this rebuttal after several affluent and successful business associates made us aware of their concerns after reading these complaints.  As two Christian business people who aspire to fulfill a humanitarian calling by providing for the less fortunate throughout the world these accusations are contradictory to our beliefs.   Our goal is to create long lasting “fixes” to the worlds housing problems as well as create a program that has long lasting impact.   We believe in P.E.A.C.E which stands for Provide, Educate, Assist and Accommodate, Care, Effectively.  We live our lives with the values of integrity, transparency, respect, and honesty and strive to help others and have a “pay it forward” approach to our business.  Those who know us know this to be true.

God created those who hurt us.  He has a good plan for their live.  He knows the “why” behind their destructive behaviors.   He knows the lies they believe about themselves.  He knows what stands in the way of their wholeness.  He is a Shepard who pursues every sheep that wanders away from all He offers.

God has given us clear instructions to bless those who curse us and pray for the people who mistreat us (Luke 6:27-28).  Jesus modeled this pure love for us on the cross, and when He washed Judas’ feet knowing he was going to betray Him.

We welcome conversations regarding this complaint and rebuttal, unfortunately this website does not allow us to post our email or phone numbers.
