Oxebridge Owner Christopher Paris Files For Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

The Owner of Oxebridge Quality Resources International, Christopher Mark Paris has filed for the embarrasing Chapter 7 bankruptcy (See http://www.plainsite.org/dockets/30qwijh5k/florida-middle-bankruptcy-court/christopher-mark-paris/)

CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY
Christopher Mark Paris
Oxebridge Quality Resources
United States Bankruptcy Court Middle District of
Florida (Case number: 8:16−bk−03463−KRM)

Although Chris Paris, the owner of Florida-based Oxebridge Quality Resources wants people to believe his business is a success. In reality, he is bankrupt! Chris Paris filed for Chapter 7 on August 2016 to find relief and protection from creditors that trusted Paris to pay them as agreed. Chapter 7, also known as liqudation bankruptcy, is commonly used by shady individuals to shed there debt, in other words, screw creditors.

In the filing, the Oxebridge owner listed assets to be from over $100,000 and liabilities to be a whopping 628,652.00. His current monthly income is listed at just $3,500 in the Chapter 7 filing... quit pathetic for someone owing nearly $1 million dollars. Court records indicate Mr. Paris has 100% ownership of Oxebridge Quality Resources International, LLC, so he is the sole debtor.

Chapter 7 filings are commonly used by shady busines people like Chris Paris to eliminate their legal obligation to pay a debt that is discharged. Most, but not all, types of debts under Chapter 7 are discharged if the debt existed on the date the bankruptcy case was filed. (If this case was begun under a different chapter of the Bankrup).

It appears Paris really screwed his creditors. Court records show the filing of the case may have imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect the money he owes, or his property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, garnish wages, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect

from him. Creditors cannot even demand repayment from debtors by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees. Under certain circumstances, the stay may be limited to 30 days or not exist at all, although debtors can ask the court to extend or impose a stay. Basically, Chris Paris is what creditors indicate as a "deadbeat debtor."

Ironically, on August 22, 2016, Christopher Paris was required by the courts as terms of his Chapter 7 filing to complete an online course on personal financial management given by Access Counseling, Inc., a provider approved pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 111 to provide an instructional course concerning personal financial management in the Middle District of Florida. This is comical because Chris Paris, as the owner of Oxebridge Quality Resources is supposedly in the business of giving financial ans management advice as a quality consultant. And yet, the guy can't even pay his bills, and still he's teaching others about quality? You can't make this stuff up! Any idiot stupid enough to take advice from this bankrupted consultant may as well file Chapter 7 themselves. Hey, maybe dear old Chris will now offer a new certificatiom program on his website Oxebridge.com on how to file Chapter 7 and screw creditors! What a dirtbag.

Many agree Chris got what he deserved going bankrupt, so nobody will be shedding a tear over his Chapter 7 filing. After all, as they say, Karma is a bi***. It must be sweet revenge for the many people and businesses Chris Paris has attempted to destroy. For years Mr. Paris has been publishing defamatory content targeting hard working members of ASQ (American Society For Quality) as well as quality consultants, registrars, and anyone he sees as a competitor.

Think about it. How many so-called businesses turn out to be profitable by engaging in constant attacks on their competitors? I'll tell you how many... NONE! The owner of Oxebridge Quality Resources International going Bankrupted is a perfect example of how NOT to run a business. But will he learn? Of course....

Chris Paris and Oxebridge promote intellectual property misuse and illegal tax deductions

AUTHOR: Oxebridge_Target - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 07, 2017

Anybody who even begins to believe the fake news that is propagated by Christopher Mark Paris and Oxebridge Quality Resources LLC needs to realize that Chris Paris has recklessly endangered the professional careers and even the legal well-being of his own "O-Fans" as he calls them. As but one example, somebody who propagated his fake news on social media apparently got into trouble with his/her employer because the employer's name was attached to the posting. Chris Paris simply does not care how his actions affect others, even his "O-Fans," as shown by his apparent promotion of intellectual property misuse and illegitimate tax deductions.

Oxebridge's Encouragement of Intellectual Property Misuse

 A meme near the bottom of the Oxebridge Web page, "Looking Back at Some of Oxebridge’s Humor Graphics [Adult Language]" comes across as encouraging intellectual property theft. Even if Mr. Paris means this as a joke, it's a very irresponsible one because anybody who acts on it could get into very serious civil and perhaps even criminal trouble. The meme (online as of March 7 2017, and we've downloaded the entire Oxebridge Web site in case it is ever needed to prove any of this in court) says,

 "ISO says I can't put their standards on my server. Yay, cloud." "For a while, these “Yay, cloud” Microsoft ads ran on TV, and ISO’s ridiculous digital rights management rules fell right into our lap at the time."

 This page has been reported to ISO's copyright department for encouraging people to violate the licensing terms for single-user electronic copies and, as shown below, Christopher Mark Paris' name is well known to ISO's attorneys. iso.org/terms-conditions-licence-agreement.html#Electronic-copies for what Mr. Paris calls ISO's "ridiculous digital rights management rules."

 4. Electronic copies

 Printing is permitted for your personal use only. Sharing or posting the ISO publication(s) on your company’s intranet is not permitted under this Licence Agreement, so please contact us or your ISO Member if you would like to.

villanova.edu/villanova/unit/policies/AcceptableUse/copyright.html Here are the potential legal consequences for anybody who acts on “Yay, cloud”:

For “willful” infringement, a court may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. A court can, in its discretion, also assess costs and attorneys’ fees. For details, see Title 17, United States Code, Sections 504, 505.

Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal penalties, including imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense.

The latter warning also appears on every movie DVD we buy in stores. "Yay, cloud" is simply promotion of similar illegal file sharing. (its.yale.edu/secure-computing/security-standards-and-guidance/data-and-application-security/illegal-file-sharing) If it's a joke, it's a very irresponsible and reckless one. People have gotten into very serious trouble for sharing music, let alone copies of ISO standards, on file sharing networks.

In addition, Mr. Paris hosted on his own Oxebridge site a letter from Carter, Ledyard and Milburn LLP dated July 12 2013 that says "We were seriously concerned to learn of your intentional and willful infringement of our clients' intellectual property on your Web site." The letter adds that Mr. Paris had in fact been warned about this before, and had taken down the allegedly infringing material, but then put it back online. The letter adds what looks like a Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown notice because it includes a signature under penalty of perjury that the sender has the right to represent the owner of the intellectual property in question.

We don't want to post any links to his fake news site, but here is another publication by a law firm about Chris Paris' habits. http://www.clm.com/docs/yir2013.pdf

“On behalf of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), we successfully stopped trademark and copyright infringement at oxebridge…”

Any of Chris Paris' "O-Fans" who are even thinking of acting on "Yay, cloud" need to recognize that doing so could get them fired on the spot by any responsible employer, sued, and/or prosecuted criminally.

Christopher Mark Paris and Oxebridge Promote Illegitimate Tax Deduction

Oxebridge's Web site advertises (March 7 2017) a AS9100 "Brain Dump" event in Cocoa Beach was forwarded to us with the introduction, "a remarkable 2-day 'Braindump Course' implementing the new AS9100 Revision D standard without driving yourself insane or ruining your company’s QMS in the process."

Here is what Chris Paris and Oxebridge tout as a bonus even though any of his customers or O-Fans—the people who trust him enough to pay to hear him speak—who acts on this could get hit with back taxes, penalties, and maybe even worse. This underscores Mr. Paris' habit of publishing not only fake news but also reckless advice that could get his readers into very serious legal trouble for misuse of intellectual property and taking illegitimate tax deductions.

LOCATION: Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront, Cocoa Beach FL. Literally a few seconds’ walk to the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean, and just an hour away from Walt Disney World. Bring the family and write the entire weekend off as a business trip.

We are not tax professionals and cannot give legal or tax advice, but here is what the Internal Revenue Service says about mixing business and pleasure. irs.gov/publications/p463/ch01.html#en_US_2016_publink100033773

Jerry drives to Chicago on business and takes his wife, Linda, with him. Linda isn’t Jerry's employee. Linda occasionally types notes, performs similar services, and accompanies Jerry to luncheons and dinners. The performance of these services doesn’t establish that her presence on the trip is necessary to the conduct of Jerry's business. Her expenses aren’t deductible.

Jerry pays $199 a day for a double room. A single room costs $149 a day. He can deduct the total cost of driving his car to and from Chicago, but only $149 a day for his hotel room. If he uses public transportation, he can deduct only his fare.

Reputable Alternatives

There are reputable and internationally recognized AS9100 training providers that do not engage in commercial disparagement and defamation of their competitors and their own clients' ISO 9001 and AS9100 certification bodies, publication of fake news, promotion (even as a joke, if Mr. Paris means it as a joke) of intellectual property theft, and promotion of illegal tax deductions. SAI Global and Bureau Veritas will offer AS9100 training for the latest revision (D) in Orlando Florida during the next few months, and SAE International and BSI also offer AS9100 Rev. D training. Other reputable and mainstream organizations also offer training in this area.

Paris told court his company was worthless

plainsite.org/dockets/download.html?id=238383951&z=07d0ef0a (This is a PUBLIC RECORD, not private information).

Official Form 106A/B Schedule A/B: Property on page 13 of 46

Name of entity: % of ownership:
Oxebridge Quality Resources International, LLC 100% % $0.00

so, if he wants to sue anybody for defaming Oxebridge by saying it had zero assets, he should start by suing himself.

It must be cold ....

AUTHOR: Target # 42 - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, January 03, 2017

 I see that he is now using his website claiming there is no such bankruptcy. I'm not sure why one would do that when the facts are a matter of public record and easily verified. Having one's own website DOES make it easy to control that part of the dialogue. His attacks against others take place in this manner too. We should all be cautious to fully research anyone we contact online about entering into a business arrangement. A fragile ego and bullying behaviors when coupled with disregard for the truth and attempts at self-promotion may not be what you really want. Do your homework.
