I think you meant Reynold and Kathy.:^)

I asked Drew Marshall if that interview was a put on and a promo idea for both his show and Crossroads.

Drew was empathic that it was not and was not upset I asked.
They are friends, and accept their differences.

At each step along the way with Crossroads/Axcess I’ve emailed Crossroads with questions, attempting to listen to what they chose to say. They chose not to respond.

Marshall was the first to be concerned about how Crossroads Christian Communications had handled yanking Ron, Reynold, Ann and Kathy off air, pointly out with absolute clarity the message that has been send in the ‘how.’

Feet on the ground is a good turn of phrase. As Crossroads airs on RBN and has more and more US guests for it’s aging Canadian audience, I think it’s wise we as givers we all re-think seasons, location and effect.

Ron and Reynold Mainse were removed from their responsibilities while the Crossroads board takes stock.

Removal from one’s position is not the same as hiding.

At least one Mainse brother lost a substantial amount of money I’m aware of.

There is an active investigation going on (US), prosecutors need to do discovery on Gordon Driver/Axcess if he’s finally got a lawyer.

Also, there are people talking to Cdn investigators.

David Rutledge worked for Gordon Driver, that has to be looked at on both sides of the border.
The OSC didn’t slap up the order on a whim.

The US court actions are currently civil, with the door open for criminal charges.

There can be all kinds of reasons investors become point people, and I think what you are attempting to address is
a) who were point people (finders)
b) to whom
c) intent

There is a post up about religious affinity fraud.

That all Axcess Automation/Fund investors are reeling and suffering cannot be minimized.
Many are not in the public eye, and suffered great loss also.

“To have their time-proven reputations questioned is unnecessary and causes them more hurt and damage.”

While this may be a hard truth, questions are very necessary.

However, in a few posts, it was speculated that the Mainse brothers acted out of greed or a “lust for riches”. It seems to me that to state that they were motivated by their desire for personal financial gain is presumptuous and judgemental.

The Mainses and their extended family have a solid reputation of generosity and integrity – they have given of their personal time and money to many people and ministries. In fact, it’s just as easy to speculate that this spirit of generosity is what motivated them to offer the opportunity to others – it’s just as likely that they wanted to share what seemed to be an awesome opportunity, not knowing that they were all being or would be “taken”.

To say that they are greedy or money-lustful is nothing but speculation and assumption. This family is going through enough. They are victims. To have their time-proven reputations questioned is unnecessary and causes them more hurt and damage. To say that they don’t need more of that is an understatement, to say the least.

Also, there has been some discussion as to why they have “disappeared”, some of it – again – speculating that they have something to hide. It is just as plausible that they are reeling from all of this and are out of the public eye while they try to deal with the emotional impact of everything.

We need to leave them alone, show them some compassion and keep them in our prayers.

Crossroads Christian Communications is updating their webpages.
The board of directors and CEO are now listed on their corporate pages.

The CEO (Doug McKenzie) piped up June 12th.

Quite the pattern, even with the 30 year gap.

I’m pleased Mr. Wilkinson spoke up in a culture which thinks silence is next to godliness.

Driver’s victims need information and whether Christians chose to understand how they can be scammed, at least those how have been harmed have gaps being filled in.

I appreciate your passionate – yet objective – approach to reporting.

Thanks.

You are the 3rd investor who has left a comment.
Let me say I am sorry you have been hurt, and thank you for speaking up.

Did you wind up investing because of a recommendation from someone from 100 Huntley?

Someone related to someone at 100 Huntley?

Do you have any idea if 100 Huntley is offering help to victims?

Can you tell me how Reynold and Ron worked as finders?

Do you know how many times?

How many investors are you aware of?

Were you approached by investigators?

Are investors getting together to take action?

If you can share here how you were scammed, please do so if it will help others.
Is there anything else you’d like to say?

I appreciated what you said about Cantelons statement about it not being sexual in a previous posting – whoever said it – minimizing the focus on the brothers not the victims – there is so much distrust out there now, not sure where this will end or how it will turn out.
