Overview
To
follow please find ninety (90) pages of VERY clear documentation to support my
claims of various wrong doings by Professor Elliot (also uses: Elliott) Cramer,
the President of FOCAS and PAWS, two nonprofit organizations directly tied to
UNC on many levels. I will provide the necessary forms to your organization if
so required, e.g., NCSOS. Instead of creating several documents for each
entity, please review this single document as I believe it may be helpful to
see the broader perspective. This document is long, but it is a very quick read
as I converted it to a PDF and highlighted key items to facilitate your review.
I also have provided ALL of the
embedded documents AND OTHER material in the below link: http://www.4shared.com/dir/UweSeuEa/Elliot
Cramer FOCAS.html (password =
"professorcramer").
There
you shall also find screenshots of SOME original emails and other material. You
can either view the documents online OR download them all very easily via ONE
click. Of course, you will also see most of the documentation embedded in this communique. Hence, everything you need is easily accessible
for your convenience.
Further,
I created a SINGLE highlight page for every organization with detailed comments
on Cramer directed specifically to you. I felt it necessary that ALL
organizations know of his errs in case you need to discuss this matter between
yourselves. I strongly suggest you compare notes with other organizations as
there IS overlap on MANY issues. ALL organizations should kindly review ALL 90
pages as there is information laced throughout this document for you all.
Needless
to say, I've spent an inordinate amount of time preparing this document. I
therefore hope it suffices. If you should require additional material, please
contact me.
I
trust you ALL take this matter seriously. As my documentation PROVES, Cramer
clearly violated North Carolina state law. University guidelines and various
Internet terms of service and should therefore be disciplined, arrested and
have ALL of his UNC and BellSouth/AT&T internet accounts and emails
suspended. I also feel he should be heavily fined by the NC Secretary of State
(NCSOS) as he has collected money without a license for FOCAS from 2006 - 2010.
Even after being told he needed a license, his website STILL has an ACTIVE paypal / chipin link!! Cramer
admitted to me - in writing - he feels he is above the law. See his email to
follow. Sadly, he isn't and it's YOUR job to let him know this by enforcing
your laws / guidelines.
History
I
first emailed Professor Cramer on November 16 when I inquired about his State
Solicitation license for his group FOCAS (http://www.friendsofocas.orq/).
The reason was simple. FOCAS solicited money for a lawsuit in Robeson NC,
though claimed (by both Cramer/FOCAS and the attorney - Galley Gerber from
Gerber Animal Law: http://www.animallawnc.com/)
the money was "tax deductible" yet they used a UNC email address to
channel the money through PayPay / Chipin. AND the website used to channel the money was
administered by an official UNC email address under Cramer's name and used
UNC's "edu". See below. Last time 1 checked
- law firms were NOT tax deductible NOR was UNC!!! At
the least, this was a deceptive trade practice and very misleading to ALL
donors. Especially since PayPal (Chipin) was NOT
designed for laundering of "tax deductible money" through
Universities and Law firms!!!!!!!!!!
Upon
investigating FOCAS on the NCSOS website (http://www.secretarv.state.nc.us/csl/)
I realized FOCAS did NOT have a license since 2006 yet they were promoting
solicitations for a plaintiff, Susan Barrett represented by Gerber Animal Law
Center, i.e., Barrett & Gerber were raising money for the SOLE intent of paving
legal fees THROUGH Cramer's nonprofit, FOCAS. According to the IRS, a law
firm should NOT be promoting "tax deductible" collections via a
501c3! Why? This is a deceptive trade practice and it promotes and falsely
legitimizes the solicitations via a prominent UNC email address: FOCAS@UNC.com.
Upon
further investigating the situation, I realized Cramer spells his first name
with One AND TWO T's which is VERY interesting AND his other group, PAWS (http://www.ourpaws.info/), NEVER had a
solicitation license. As they have been operational for years, I'm GUESSING
they MUST have had some solicitations over the years. If so, these TOO were
done outside the NCSOS guidelines! What's also interesting is that BOTH PAWS
and FOCAS BOTH use UNC email addresses even though UNC should legally NOT be
affiliated with them! Yet the UNC digital fingerprint is ALL over Cramer's
websites and emails. It's obvious Cramer is using the
good name of UNC to legitimatize his private ventures! As well, Cramer created
both websites via a liosting company in Australia. My
guess is NONE of this is random. As an aside, after pointing out the ourpawstSjuncedu email address (below) used by
Cramer, he eventually removed it from his website! Proof to
follow.
In
today's age, if FOCAS or PAWS wanted their own branded email, they could easily
obtain one without promoting UNC which is NOT a nonprofit and is NOT legally
affiliated with FOCAS/PAWS (e.g., PAWS(a),qmail.com).
Upon
uncovering and pointing out the above "curiosities", Cramer began his
belligerence and lies (see emails in last section). In brief, he claimed FOCAS
did NOT require a solicitation license as they were exempt from state law. The
reality of the situation (see later documentation) was that HE let his NCSOS's
exemption EXPIRE in 2006!! AND according to the NCSOS he needed to renew it
YEARLY, but did NOT! (See letter from State confirming this).
This means - in the purest sense -
that ALL MONEY raised via solicitations from 2006 - 2010 by FOCAS was done
OUTSIDE the laws of NC.
I've
read the 27 page NCSOS guidelines, spoke to both Attorney Gardner and
Investigator Jacquin, and have documentation below
from the NCSOS to substantiate my claims.
About
this time, Cramer communicated with Barrett and she,
with Gerber. Eventually they exchanged emails /calls and realized they were ALL
caught. Ironically, months ago, Gerber stated in an email that she researched
the chipin process for raising funds for her lawsuit
and concluded she could NOT accept chipin donations!
(I am intentionally withholding this "smoking gun" for very good
reasons, I DO HAVE THIS EMAIL). Yet somehow she decided to do so through FOCAS.
The problem is, FOCAS promoted the fundraising via a very prominent UNC email
address (FOCAS@UNC.edu). I do NOT feel
any of this was random. In fact, I confronted Gerber/Barrett on this months ago (below) only for my comments to be removed
from the Gerber Facebook group page. At this point, Gerber
wrote that I am not entitled to question her chipin
and I do NOT have ANY First amendment rights to criticize her or her dubious
collections. I wish I was kidding. I'm not. See below.
Eventually,
Barrett aligned with the Professor and then BARRETT pulled in North Carolina
Rottweiler Rescue (NCRR - http://ncrottierescue.net/)
where I had fostered a dog. Because there was an existing ownership issue with
NCRR, who never paid for any expenses and who also refused to reimburse me for
vet fees, etc. - Barrett decided to lure them into the cat fight. It was then
THREE (Barrett / Gerber, NCRR, FOCAS) against one. And not one NC Solicitation
license in the group!!!!!!!
Ironically,
NCRR ALSO had not one, but THREE chipins for Bella.
ALL ILLEGAL as NONE were done under a valid NCSOS license. In fact, NCRR
actually claimed the dog had a "brain injury" and needed $3,000 for
her care. This was a complete lie. The dog only needed training for aggression,
antibiotics, deworming and to be spayed. When word
leaked out that others had caught on to NCRR's dubious chipin,
they created another with a $1,000 goal, and then another where they collected
exactly $385 from MY friends!
NCRR
pocketed the chipin money and never paid for ANY of
the transportation, the vets fees or for training. Not
ONE DIME was used for the intended purpose/dog. In total, they made several
hundred on the dog and left me high and dry. And YET, after not hearing from
them for MONTHS and even after multiple letters to board members requesting
their help - NCRR then claimed I was a "dog thief. This was quickly picked
up by Cramer who tried to use this against me to "deflect" from his
many fundraising errs. What's worse is that then Cramer took the NCRR lies and
promoted them on his UNC sanctioned and email administered websites. See the
below "Jack Ass" website created by Cramer to use the above NCRR
situation to slander me.
Well, this is Cramer's complaint,
right? So what - you ask - does this have to do with Cramer? Everything!!!
Cramer
joined forces with Barrett and NCRR in an intentional and malicious smear
campaign. Why? Thev were ALL CAUGHT
soliciting funds throuah chipin
WITHOUT a license!!! What's even MORE comedic is that NCRR illegally
solicited their funds via a board member who is an employee at Glaxo!!!! I proved this by her email IP address. So JUST as
Cramer used UNC to raise funds without a license - so too
did NCRR use
a tliird party's computers / networl<
to do so!! And I was turned into tlie bad guy for
discovering ALL of this.
The
rest is history. To follow please find some of Cramer's emails and other
documentation. FYI, I WILL be reporting NCRR to the NCSOS and to Sprint for
terms of use violations.
I'm hoping this documentation
suffices for the NCSOS and paypal to investigate Gerber,
Barrett and FOCAS / PAWS / Cramer.
NC Secretary of State
Please note:
1.
FOCAS allowed their exempt license
status to expire in 2006. From then until now they raised tens of thousands of
dollars.
2.
FOCAS has been told numerous times
they need to reapply for their exempt status and yet they have denied needing a
license. See multiple emails to support this.
3.
FOCAS raised money through chipin / paypal for the Gerber
lawsuit and did NOT have valid license of exemption during this time.
4.
FOCAS also intentionally deceived
donors by intentionally setting up a co-branded UNC email address (FOCAStSjUNCedu) to legitimize their fundraising
efforts.
5.
FOCAS pushed "traffic" and
donors to their website by intentionally using Cramer's UNC website with
intentionally provided cross links.
6.
FOCAS violated NOT ONLY ONE NCSOS
guideline, but cumulatively scores of them. I've actually highlighted your guidelines
and added my notes to them. If you'd like to see my comments please advise. Hence,
this is not ONE violation, this is dozens!!
7.
Please pull the last 4 years of
990's from the state and compare to the license status of FOCAS. I'm POSITIVE you
will find tens of thousands of dollars raised without a license during these
four years.
8. Please also consider this complaint directed toward PAWS as
well. And apply the same request as above for PAWS. They also do not have a
license and I'm certain they raised funds over the years.
9.
Please penalize Cramer to the full
extent of the law. I know the guidelines cite a max of $10,000 fines for every
offense. Since this has been going on for years, I feel he should be fined in
the six figure range.
10. Please also consider court time which is another option
cited in your guidelines. I will happily testify to support your case against
him.
11.1 feel the Cramer / FOCAS fiasco needs to be made a public
case with the maximum legal penalties in order to send a strong message to the
animal rescue community that the NCSOS is tough on offenders!
12.
Please also investigate the Gerber
law perspective as well. I can provide more information if you wish. Please advise and I will happily provide.
13. Please investigate PAWS.
14.
Please investigate the above
referenced Gerber chipin and any others under her
name of "NC Shelter Rescue". Perhaps you could coordinate with
PayPal? If so, perhaps contact their compliance department (compliancetajpavpal.com).
15. Please FULLY investigate NCRR's DOZENS of chipins and especially the three in question for the dog I
adopted. Documentation below.
UNC Police and UNC Legal
Please note:
1.
I've already corresponded with both
parties, so this is just supplemental details.
2. I trust this letter will finally effectuate HARSH
disciplinary action against Cramer.
3.
Hasn't he embarrassed UNC long
enough?
4. Please deactivate ALL of his email addresses.
5.
Please remove ALL of his UNC
websites and cross links to personal affairs.
6. Please confirm in writing that he will cease and desist.
7.
Please ORDER him to send out a
retraction letter that WE PRE-approve to the dozens of animal rights agencies
he contacted to slander my person. Need I remind you, this is ALL related to
UNC on EVER level, legally and technologically. Hence
UNC is NOW liable for Cramer's slander. Please don't make me take action
against UNC. I will if I need to. I trust I'm being clear.
8.
Please encourage him to delete the
slanderous "Jack Ass" page LINKED to / promoted by his UNC website
and created by a UNC email account.
9. Please review all of the UNC guidelines I've cited and take
the appropriate action.
10. I strongly feel there have been criminal violations here; I
will leave that up to you to enforce.
11.1 also strongly feel I deserve an official apology from UNC
for NOT acting swiftly and harshly as I requested in November!
12. I also
EXPECT a comprehensive status as I still feel the evidence is in my favor that
Cramer's UNC digital fingerprint was ALL OVER this case!!
BellSouth and AT&T
Please note:
1.
Please revoke Cramer's access to the
Internet, i.e., NOT ONLY his email account, but his actual cable or DSL modem
access.
2. Please terminate his access to ALL internet service
effective immediately.
3.
His language, threats, profanity and
harassment are ALL violations of your organization's guidelines. I've read same
and I'm sure you agree. Please do not hesitate to terminate his account, for
life.
4.
Also note,
he committed slander, libel and illegally raised funds on YOUR NETWORK. The
proof is indisputable. If you doubt me, please contact the NCSOS and request a
copy of their investigation which will show that FOCAS did NOT have the
necessary license to solicit funds in the state.
5. If you want, please also contact paypal
which I'm certain will ALSO revoke his accounts.
6.
I presently have Cramer blacklisted
at the server level. But what's to stop him from creating another BellSouth
email account? Nothing, but you!!
7. Kindly provide a case number and a final disposition on this
case.
Hostonce.com
Hosting Services
Please note:
1.
I find it MORE than curious that not
only does Cramer use two spellings of his name, BUT he also uses an Australian
Hosting company for his websites. Is this random? I'm guessing he is
intentionally trying to skirt US laws.
2.
Regardless, Cramer violated your
guidelines by the "Jack Ass" webpage he created on the OURPAWS.info
website on your network.
3. He also violated NC laws by his illegal fundraising on his
FOCAS website that you host.
4. Please terminate BOTH of his hosting accounts with you
IMMEDIATELY!
5.
I cannot stress how much damage this
man has created for me. He did not just post a slanderous website on your
servers, BUT he used your servers and BellSouth / AT&T network AND UNC
networks to actively promote the Jack Ass website to hundreds of my colleagues!
6.
As such, please INSTANTLY revoke his
accounts and remove the following web page without hesitation: http://www.ourpaws.info/ioe
7. Kindly provide a status upon completion of your SHORT
investigation.
PayPal
/ Chipin
Please note:
1. Please immediately disable ALL of Cramer's paypal accounts.
2.
Please see page one for ALL of his emails, you may want to review all for links to other chipins. Especially the F0CAS(5)UNC.edu
account which is the main one in question.
3.
Please investigate this matter and
review this document carefully. I feel Cramer should be banned for life from
PayPal.
4.
Kindly research the Gerber Animal
Law / Susan Barrett chipin by Cramer/FOCAS as I feel
it was VERY duplicitous, misleading and frankly illegal.
5.
The FACT the Cramer / FOCAS, Gerber
and Barrett all conspired to use FOCAS to raise funds under the UNC name for
the FOCAS nonprofit, ONLY TO "LAUNDER" the money and hand it over to
an attorney (Gerber) for her client's (Barrett) legal expenses - well, that is
NOT the way your service was designed, was it?
6. Also, they advertised that ALL donations were tax
deductible. This is 100% WRONG. Some or ALL MAY BE tax
deductible IF the funds REMAINED at the intended cause, FOCAS. This was NOT the
case.
7.
Please also investigate the
reference "NC Shelter Rescue" chipin by
Barrett. I know for a fact she does NOT have a state license to solicit funds
and I also know she understands the laws. As such, I've rightfully concluded
she, like professor Cramer, feels he is above the law.
8. Kindly immediately suspend Barrett's NC Shelter Rescue's
current chipins (below).
9.
Please also investigate if ourpaws@UNC.edu - Cramer's OTHER
nonprofit EVER had a chipin. If they did, it was
illegal. PAWS has NEVER had a license.
10.
Please provide SOME feedback to me
and inform if I need to provide additional detail on Barrett's NC Shelter
Rescue chipins.
11.
PLEASE work with the other agencies
here to confirm the FACTS I've provided and to compare notes.
12.
I feel, like the NCSOS, that PayPal
needs to send a VERY strong message to the Animal Rights community that such
dubious fundraising events will not be tolerated by PayPal. I feel you should
make an example out of ALL of the above named. My FACTS and this documentation is VERY clear. Should you need additional material for
Gerber, Barrett / NC Shelter Rescue - I will provide.
13.
Frankly, I feel ALL money raised by
ALL of the above named scams should be returned to the donors!!
14.
Perhaps you could locate their 990
tax returns like Cramer's, and audit? You will find countless thousands illegal
raised.
15. Please do not hesitate to contact me about the above. My
primary concern today is Cramer/FOCAS, though kindly set up
investigations for PAWS and Gerber, Barrett and provide the case ID to
me.
16.
Lastly, please investigate the
referenced NCRR, North Carolina Rottie Rescue. They
conducted THREE illegal chipins for the dog I am
fostered from them. Not a DIME of the money was applied to the dog/cause in
question. The money raised was done so via this email address ncrottierescue@amail.com and the
funds were stolen by Diane Sacripanti, the founder of
NCRR. They also had a 4* paypal set up on their
website BEFORE this dog's and they have a current one now. I'm sure they have
ILLEGALLY raised thousands as they ONLY recently obtained a solicitation
license. This means for the last SEVEN YEARS (until June or so of this year) -
every penny raised through PayPal by NCRR should ALSO be returned to the
donors!! http://ncrottierescue.net/
The following pages provide a number of emails from UNC and BellSouth
addresses. May I suggest all entities be quickly reviewed These
emails should be of important to ALL who review this document
