Part # 2, Highlights from the 150 Comments about How the Amazon Golf Club Was Stolen

The original comments are still
complete with no changes in the comment section of the article, How the
Amazon Golf Club Was Stolen. These exerts are what caught my eye as
important, profound, or funny. I was pleased that there was so much
content that deserved merit. The original list I saved was twice this
long, too long to accomplish my objective. Let’s start over and leave
our comments under this condensed summary.

# 3: “Even though it might take some time, Peruvian law and truth
should prevail. Based on my experience with the Peruvian courts, they
are a first class operation.”

# 13: “The bottom line is this: Gerald, Adam: with all due respect,
you have a moral obligation to set up the new constitution of the club
as closely (and legally) as possible to the original conditions given
to the founding members.”

# 15: “They do not want any non-golfing investors in the Amazon Golf
Club. We know it was Mike Collis’s idea, a non-golfer, I was the first
investor, a non-golfer, 6 out of the first 10 share holders,
non-golfers, 30 out of the first 49 share holders, non-golfers, 37 out
of the original 62 share holders, non-golfers, and Peter Schneider, the
man that saved the club, without whom the golfers would have no
wonderful golf course in the middle of the Amazon jungle, a non-golfer.”

# 20: “In all my investments over my life time I have always found
the investors control the investment but are not involved with the
product they are investing in. Ballparks are not owned by ballplayers,
movie studios are not owned by movie stars, recording studios are not
owned by recording artists, oil companies are not owned by oil
drillers, taverns are not owned by drunks, restaurants are not owned by
obese people, tobacco companies are not owned by smokers, and golf
courses are not owned by golfers.”

# 22: “I spent most of my formative years playing on a private golf
course in Appalachia and even though many of the members there had
married and divorced their sisters, leaving them with their retarded
offspring, they still behaved like gentlemen and ladies! And here I am
in Peru, dealing with infighting, sub-grouping and slanderous gringos
that obviously are offspring of incestuous affairs…There, I was able to
write my mind without bastardizing anyone. Can’t we all?”

# 26: “Remember, there are only three games where gentlemanly
conduct is a prerequisite: Cricket, Tennis and Golf If you can not
maintain yourself, you are not welcome on the course or in the
Clubhouse. As we say: It’s just not Cricket!”

# 33: “If these transactions would have happen in the USA people would be going to prison.”

# 35: “Any member that is a resident of Peru, attends the majority
of the meetings, and has enough backing from the other members must be
allowed to serve on the board of directors.”

# 38: “I vote for every issue by voting for the board of directors
and officers. They represent me just like in government. There was no
election of officers or board of directors by the share holders in the
golf course.”

# 40: “I have read, listened to and examined everything that has
come to my attention yet I have not been able to get down to solid
facts and I must say that it is my belief that the reason I have not
hit solid ground is because there is a layer of muck that has not been
washed away. It is also my belief that this layer of muck can only be
washed away by Gerald, Ryan and Adam. There should be NOTHING hidden in
a layer of muck! The Golf Club is not a secret society.”

# 43: “OK Gerald Mayeaux, I have been waiting for a denial from you
that you stole our investment in the golf course. There has yet to be
one denial of this by you, Adam, or Ryan. Why? You and Ryan never
answer my emails. We can only assume you’re guilty. In the USA you are
assumed innocent until proven guilty only if you plead not guilty. God
forgive me for associating with this man!”

# 57: “I would like all foreign Founder Members to make a formal complaint to the Peruvian embassies in your country.”

# 63: “I intend to show all of you who are interested how The Amazon
Golf Club was stolen by Gerald Mayeaux and his associates. I will be
talking about evidence that is in the public domain and is available to
anyone in Peru at the Public Register Office.

According to the Public Register an Extraordinary General Meeting of
the Amazon Golf Club was held at the Yellow Rose of Texas bar in
Iquitos at 8.00 p.m. on the 7th April 2006. According to the public
register there were 7 members at that meeting. They were;

Michael Collis

Maria Earls

Dan Buzzo

Delmer de Aguila

Sergio Bargas

Gerald Mayeaux

Ryan Richards.

The Public Records state that the meeting was chaired by me, Michael
Collis. The Public Records show that the minutes of this meeting state
that I Michael Collis proposed that the Amazon Golf Club be dissolved
and that Gerald Mayeaux be appointed as Liquidator of the Club’s
assets. The Public Register shows that the proposals were accepted
unanimously and all in attendance signed the minutes in acceptance.

THE TRUTH IS THIS; There was no such meeting, I Michael Collis was
not there, Maria Earls was not there, Dan Buzzo was not there, Delmer
de Aguila was not there and Gerald Mayeaux was with Dan Buzzo in
another location celebrating Dan Buzzo’s 85th birthday so he was not
there either. THE MEETING NEVER TOOK PLACE.

The Public Register shows that Gerald Mayeaux declared that when the
Amazon Golf Club was dissolved it had NO ASSETS whatsoever, not even 50
cents. At that time the club had its clubhouse, machinery, golfing
equipment and a bank balance. As Liquidator of the assets of the club
Gerald donated the assets that he previously declared not to exist, to
the recently formed Amazon Golf and Country Club which is being run by
Gerald Mayeaux and his associates.

The law also states that before a club or business like this can be
dissolved 3 announcements must be placed in the local newspapers and
these announcements should be lodged in the Public Register Office.
There are NO such announcements on file. If the Amazon Golf Club was
dissolved at a Non Existent Extraordinary General Meeting that did not
take place then it was dissolved illegally and Gerald Mayeaux and his
associates are controlling the club illegally. The accused have decided
to use their right to remain silent.”

# 64: “I have traveled to Iquitos every year for the past 15 years.
I am not an investor in the club but I know many of the players. Gerald
does have warts but then again I would argue we all do. As a banker I
have learned the importance of due diligence and putting rumor and
innuendo aside and dealing with the facts.”

# 65: “The apparent central figure in the entire issue certainly
appears to be Gerald Mayeaux. He obviously could not pull off this coup
d’éta alone, however. For those who seem to feel perhaps no wrong has
been done, please explain why the club was dissolved without the
knowledge of the majority over a year ago.”

# 66: “All Peruvians with any experience under their belt and the
slightest legal knowledge understand that there are two worlds in Peru:
the real world and the legal world. Only sometimes do they overlap,
about as frequently as a solar eclipse, and like the broken clock that
tells the correct time twice a day, the legal corresponds with real.
The accountant’s job is to create documentarily the legal reality. And
that’s how things are done.”

# 69: “I spent 3 hours with the Fiscal (Public Prosecutor) and he
said that he thought a crime had been committed and that they were
going to investigate it further. I told the Fiscal that we didn’t want
to get people into trouble we only wanted what was wrong put right i.e.
the Annulment of the “Dissolution of the Amazon Golf Club” so that we
can return to the status quo and work it out between ourselves. He
replied “If a crime has been committed against the Public Interest
(Contra la Fe Publica) then the accused WILL face trial.”

# 77: “At least one crime has been committed, contempt of court, for
failure to turn over the Amazon Golf Club bank account information,
minutes of the meeting, and documents pertaining to the dissolution of
the Amazon Golf Club. They are guilty of contempt of court. History is
clear; it is not the crime, but the cover up.”

# 84: “If Gerald Mayeaux was an honorable man there would not be
this suspicion of corruption. Gerald Mayeaux should be banned from the
Amazon Golf Club. He is an investor, so he keeps his share, but needs
to step completely out of the picture and stay to hell out.”

# 88: “Roberts Rules are very clear. The majority shall rule, the
minority shall have the right to speak and those not present shall be
protected.”

# 99: “The proposed constitution looks very promising; however it is
a long way from being in place so let’s save the celebration until we
have it in place and working.”

# 102: “I have built 3 multimillion dollar golf courses in the USA
and I don’t believe any of the architects and engineers ever played
golf including myself. We of course did hire consultants who had a
proven track record in designing golf courses and maybe they did play
golf. I don’t know. Most airlines are owned by people that are not
pilots and don’t understand how to fly a plane. All I need to do to
qualify to vote is buy shares. Don’t sell me shares if I can’t vote.”

# 105: “Leave it up to me and the other investors who we want to be
the officers and directors. Trust us to vote for the person who would
benefit our investment the best. The ones who are the most qualified.
One of my previous businesses was a tavern. I hated drunks but I had
more of them than all the other taverns in town put together. We went
to great length to get them their favorite whiskey or beer even thou
they all tasted the same to me.”

# 139: “As an artist with the verse once said– “coming events cast their shadows before”. Time to reflect…believe me.”

# 144: “I have heard that the police are pressing charges against
Ryan and Gerald for trespassing on the golf course . Is it true? If it
is true then, “Its game over” for the gang of thieves. Someone please
tell me it is true.”

# 145: “It is true. The charges against Ryan, Gerald and others
still stand and because the trespass charge against them was with
threats of violence; these charges are criminal charges.”

# 147: “My last post was, at best, obliquely related to my ex-friend
“The Iquitos Scoundrel”, Gerald Mayeaux. I tried to envision being in a
position where I faced each day encountering people I have screwed,
people who once foolishly trusted me. What a lonely life. Try to
envision facing each day knowing most people look upon you with
disdain.”

# 148: “Ok, I’ve read through this site extensively. Therefore let’s
organize and make a difference Do we take a vote or what? When do we
take charge?
