MartinVs "Everytrust" & "My Life Consultants"
From another thread:
I think many would be interested in discussion of MartinV's business dealings, espeically involving Everytrust (a reported trillion dollar trust fund) and the "My Life Consultants. For example, Everytrust is reported to have 950 offices in 250 countries; that is exceptional. Certinaly a trillion dollar organization as large as yours (MartinV) is worthy of discussion here. That said, I can't help but wonder why the address for their International HQ is given as the residential address: 3809 Purdum DR, Mt Airy, MD 21771 What is really odd, is this is also the address of "My Life Management LLC", a registered builder in MD and something called My Life Inc. which does temporary staffing (though their website mentions "Share your life and news with friends and family"). |

My name is Sigmund, and I approve of this slip. BTW, you can preview the index of Martin's book here. Um, well, what to say... dunno. |

I dunno...if I had access to a trillion dollars, I'd certainly have fun *lol*
Corrected. Personally, I'm eager to have MartinV join in this discussion. The published CEO of a trillion dollar, multi-national, organization I think would have a lot to offer. |

Yes, and apparently he wrote seven, count them, seven books in 2007; quite a feat! I'm not sure even Stephen King can top that.

With regards to the Everytrust organization I have formed.
Here are the facts: 1. It is incorporated in the state of Maryland under the name Everytrust International, Inc 2. I am a certified Oracle DBA and work with large database data warehouses 3. I created an oracle 11g database with tables that have 6,700,000,000 rows for the trust a. One row per person on the planet, plus extras b. The columns with state, country, and balance have values. c. Most other columns are null d. The tables contains records for people in 250+ countries e. The value column in the database contains 16 digits of precision 4. The trust is based on a 1000 year time table a. We decided trillion because that amount of compound interest is attainable in 300 years with a reasonably small starting balance b. Your generation and your childrens generation will not see much economic benefit from the trust c. See calculator below to get your own number 4. We used shared office space from Regus a. they have 950+ offices b. we use their offices c. We do not have permanent offices (and do not state that we do) d. Actually web site has been toned down. That was a little much. 5. The actual trust exists as a legal document. a. The trust does list all 6.6+ billion people on the planet b. the beneficiaries are identified as a named set "people on the planet" 6. The trust fund (which is a private document that does not need to be filed with the state) and the incorporated non-profit a. use my home address as the legal mailing address b. use the PO 1086 mail box as the marketing address c. We have no other permanent office To provide proof of some of the above I add the following from my computer: SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production on Sun Feb 17 21:00:51 2008 Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle.

No rush. ---- The statement is that the trust "IS A" trillion dollar trust not "HAS A" trillion dollars. There is a difference. ---- According to math.com compounding calculator at http://www.math.com/students/calcula...e/compound.htm If you take 10,000 do not add one penny to it Let it bake for 300 years at 8%, it produces 244,611,941,663,788.30 at 6% the calculator says: 627,801,463,003.09 The numbers get much larger when I personally add just $10 per month extra to the pot. I am not asking anyone but myself to contribute anything to this pot to make it grow to the size it can become. However, people IN THE FUTURE, will be able to contribute to the fund, but I do not have the necessary infrastructure built yet. I am still running it from my house for goodness sake. -----You also did not mention My original plans called for working with: 1. The World Health Organization 2. United Nations 3. Red Cross and several other international organizations I have since decided that they will be a hindrance more than help. Last month they were removed from the business plan. ----I will admit my words come off a bit strong and I have since toned them down. I was hoping they would help generate some support but not the case. --- With regards to the mylife brand. Here is the latest. My Life, Inc was a business I had 7-8 years ago if I remember right. It has been closed for a long time. We did computer staffing. MyLife Consultants and Mylife Management, LLC's were two companies that I ran up until about 2 years ago. They were financially ruined by a manager of mine named James Cornelius Smith. His bad acts forced me to close the business and cost me and several of my customers a lot of money. I have pressed charges and their are 2 arrest warrants out for him filed at the Hagerstown Police Department. I also called and placed a report with the FBI. I have also heard that he may have done some bad acts in small towns PA, FL. He was a real con-man. I wish I would have known beforehand. But his method seems to be to do stuff in small towns that don't get reported in the state databases. It almost cost me my house, my marriage, my family. ---with regards to the google page I tried to have them add my post to it several years ago, but they have not. I will probably have to get a lawyer involved. This is my email to google from a while ago: From: Martin Vendemia Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 9:47 PM To: answers-editors@google.com; Martin Vendemia Subject: To Whom It May Concern, I just did a search on my name "Martin Vendemia" on google and found this message. Subject: Not able to open website Category: Computers > Internet Asked by: jeanmanga-ga List Price: $10.00 Posted: 08 Feb 2003 15:57 PST Expires: 10 Mar 2003 15:57 PST Question ID: 158909 I would like to be able to place a comment attached to this question. Please let me know how I can do this. I did create a google answer account. My name and reputation is important to me, and this thread makes me appear to be a fraudulent type person. MyLife Consultants and Guaranteed Millionaire were 2 names I had registered and websites I created and eventually took down for lack of public interest and demand. As far as I am aware, I never collected one penny from anyone - and NEVER - I repeat NEVER did anything to hurt this person or any one financially or otherwise. I can be reached at my email: mvendemia@hotmail.com and I ask this message to be added to this thread. I take this attack against my person and family seriously. Thanks in advance, Martin Vendemia ----as far as guaranteed millionaire program It never took off. It was very simple in concept. Used by wall street all time. Put money away and don't touch it. Let it compound. What did we do. Simple. We did not wan't your account invested with us, we recommend some brokerage account and buy some good index mutual funds. People paid us to help keep them on financial track. Not investment advise, but to help them not close their account. To not find other things to do with your money. to not squander it on electronics. Pretty simple stuff. Basically we were a coach to keep you on track. Provided you put in some money into an account, not take any out, keep investing more into that account, and earn a respectable (just reasonable) in about 20-30 years you will have reached $1M. It is not rocket science. Well folks sorry to say. Business and website were very short lived. Never made any money, did however have some people give us email addresses to send them our newsletters. I thought people might like to have someone help them reach an honest $1m without scams, trickery, or other foolishness. Guess not. |

Thanks for starting the thread Locknar. I wanted to give martinv another day or two to focus on proving his clairvoyance. But, his claims about Everytrust are much more extraordinary that his claims of clairvoyance, at least in my eyes.
I'm very curious about a trillion dollar multi-national non-profit based at a residential address and with a website that is nothing more than a single page billboard... listing a PO Box as its main contact point. Most of the google hits include mentions of "meetups" in Maryland. Now, I'm all for starting a new businesses and stretching the truth a little to help drive growth is par for the course. But generally when people say "trillion dollar business" they mean either annual revenue or appraised asset value. Clearly martinv has a new and different definition and I hope he joins here to explain that concept. |

" 4. The trust is based on a 1000 year time table"
:-O "We have no other permanent office" :-O So when you said your trust had 950 offices and was worth a trillion dollars, you were basically lying? |

Oh - and "The current balance in the trust as of yesterday is $25.15 (that is $25 and 15 cents)" and " 5. The actual trust exists as a legal document. a. The trust does list all 6.6+ billion people on the planet b. the beneficiaries are identified as a named set "people on the planet" both have me rolling around on the floor in stitches.

Having 950 offices to me means that I personally (or someone I hire) can go to any of 950 offices in which to work. Regus has 950 offices (don't they?). Sounds pretty clear to me.
As far as I know, I have not said "worth". If I did specifically use that word, I will admit to being wrong. I have tried to stay with the "IS A" because we do not have the account balances now, but should in the future based on compound interest. If you find any such errors, please let me know. It is important that they are corrected. You can be my lookout. Glad to have you on my side. |

Martin - your trust cannot in any reasonable, sensible or sound (or even legally valid) way, be termed "a trillion dollar trust". You have picked an arbitrary (and enormous!) time period, and an arbitrary rate of interest. You could just as well say your trust was $10 trillion, or even just $10, because the time period you have selected and the rate of interest you have used to do your calculations are plucked out of thin air.
The whole thing is absurd from start to finish. As for the office space, if you have one staff member, you only have one office. Unless those 950 offices are staffed by people employed by you (or contracted on your behalf) you do not have 950 offices. This is manifestly obvious. |

If you have a problem with the words I used thats fine.
I will not argue, you win. Whatever. The trust exists. An incorporated entity exists to manage that trust. It has money now. It will have more money deposited later. That money will compound. The members are named as I mentioned. The accounts exist in a database. Everything else is just noise. |

Not at all, Martin. Everything else is truth, honesty, integrity, transparency, sense, logic, reason and ethics. I don't wish to be rude, but claiming that your $25 is a "multi-national, trillion dollar trust" shows you lack all of those things.
I have about GBP £10 in my pocket. If I put it in a bank account at 3% compound interest for a millenia, I will have £68,742,402,311,696.28, even without further additions. When someone asks me how much money I have, is it reasonable, sensible, honest or wise to say I have a tenner, or £68 trillion? I live and work in a building with over 300 rooms. I could, very easily, plug my laptop into the Ethernet points in any one of those rooms. Do I have 300 offices, or just one? Who are you lying to, and why? |

Absolutely priceless.
Everytrust, a trillion dollar trust, IS A $25.25 trust. Logical fallacy, ahoy. |

You tell me. Have you tried the calculator I posted?
Put 10,000 as the starting balance Put 0 in the field for monthly deposit Put 300 years in the year field and YOU pick an interest rate. Inflation is around 3-4%. On average according to the SEC (if my memory serves) Bonds pay around 6-7% long term average Stocks pay around 12% long term. The trust can stand the volatility of a heavier stock weighted portfolio with maybe 25% in bonds, 10% cash. You pick an interest rate. Put it in the calculator and explain to me what value number you decide to call the trust in 300 years. It is explained in detail in the book how I came up with figure. But I am curious to your value for 300 years. Because I am not really too bothered about the first 100 years or so. |

""a trillion dollar non-profit organization that provides health, education, food, housing, and employment benefits to all 6.6 billion people of the world, with 950 offices in 250 countries".
I note the distinct present tense in this sentence. How much of the $25 has gone to pay for health, education, food, housing or employment to date? Why does it not say "will provide, in a thousand years"? |

It also says you run "one of the largest organizations in the world". I am rapidly concluding that you are a two-bit scam merchant and that I should probably be reporting you to the appropriate authorities. It's manifestly obvious this is not a typo. On the back cover of your own book, it says your organization "operates at the trillion-dollar level". Present tense. A trillion dollars. Now. This is a concerted, focussed and deliberate effort to con people. If you lived in the UK, my letter would already have been despatched. As you live in the US and I am not totally sure who the relevant authorities are, I shall leave that task to someone else. Frankly, you disgust me. How many of these $40 books have you sold, and how much personal profit have you made from the incredulity of others? |

Martinv, finance is my life.. I don't need to use the calculator to understand the effect of compound interest and time value of money. Something you need to understand, however, is a concept called "Net Present Value" or NPV. You cannot legitimately use Future Value to value your trust, you MUST use NPV. Your trust's NPV is about $25.

Thanks for catching this for me.
I thought I had clicked the private link on lulu on these because I was still working on the marketing stuff. It was way over the top. Your comments have been very helpful. About a month ago, I took off all the extra pages from the website that were just so over the top. I think the site is 1 or 2 pages of the basics. I have not had a chance to add more pages to the site yet. As far as profit goes. None. Have not yet put a release date on them. Put them on the front page of the website expecting them to be out a long time ago. But have been too busy. You guys are really helping me out. I totally forgot they were listed on the website. Thanks for reminding me. You guys rock. |

Right; which is why you are editing your pages and self publishing links since I brought all this up - to be honest, and correct mistakes *lol*
What I find really interesting:
Originally Posted by MartinV's Lulu self-publishing entry

Yes. I understand this place is filled with skeptics.
And the skeptical point of view is that most people are crooks, scam artists, and such. I have always tried to be an honest straight forward person. Doing honest business. I have had my own businesses since I was 18. I have always used my home address in my businesses. Do a dns search, you see my websites list my HOME address. If you do a state or federal search on any company of mine you will see my home address. I take pride in my businesses and my projects. Sure I may get a little boastful in my early drafts. It helps me get my thoughts together. But those drafts are not supposed to be in the public. The final product which has all that crud cut out is what is supposed to be out there. I fixed lulu and the everytrust website. Thank everyone for the help in doing these searches. If you find any more let me know so I can fix them. You are a big help. I wish I would have known that you guys do this kind of digging. It would have saved me so much time. Nice. |

Amazing!
Kudos to Locknar for starting this thread. I am prepared to give people the benefit of the doubt, but MartinV, you've lost that benefit. And I can't believe that after being caught in several flagrant undeniable lies, you're still acting like it was some sort of honest mistake. Gee fellas, I appreciate your help! Yeah right. You've been busted, my friend. Caught red-handed in a some real whoppers! (I must say "lulu" was an appropriate name for the page of lulus you just removed.) So what about the back cover of the book? |

I am not going to waste any more time in this post.
I will check back in a couple of weeks and see if anyone found any more typos to fix. Tomorrow you can find me again in my regular "skeptic tests" page and we can get back on track for testing |

I don't see a problem at all, though will gladly correct any errors.
The quote from your Lulu page is accurate; the way you have it written, "formation" is used to indicate past tense....as in the formation is complete and the organization exists. If you meant to imply the formation is on-going, then I suggest you edit/re-write your entry. Your ambiguous use of words, and their interpretation, is not an error on my part. So you've gone from "this feedback is great, I appreciate everyone's help" (my paraphrase) to this; going to take your toys and go home? That said, I look forward to your return to the other threads, such as the test (still waiting for you to get back to me on the "calibration" stuff) and the ever present question on the "orbs" (in a seperate thread as you asked). |
