This is a Note on one of the many rules for Jurisdiction.
If you are contacted by anyone that states they officially represents another person's business or as his friend or an advisor, be aware of the following:
They may later deny in any Court by signed sworn statements that they are not an official representative of that business owner or business.
You must NOT initially contact the owner of the business even though his friend is telling you he is one of the guys in charge and persuading you to contact the business owner because if you do, proof of this this contact will be stored for later use against you to take jurisdiction from you.
Even though you were perused to do a deal with the owner of this business, initially contacted, negotiated a deal through this agent of the Business owner, the Courts might rule that you did persue the business owner, when the reality of the truth is that the Business owner had perused you for business dealings utilizing his representative which he will later deny is his representative.
If your deal goes bad or you had been set up by the business owner to give money and great effort and product to this business owner and they have set you up for a fall then you must take them to court to try and get anything back that they have promised you and what you have paid them in money. The court might see you as the peruser of the business owner and give the business owner wrongful local jurisdiction in any dispute.
Even though you were perused, contacted first, deals negotiated with this person representing the business owner, when the business owner's "friend" officially denies he is only a friend helping out with the courts, you might lose local jurisdiction in your fight to recover your loses.
If you do not hold back and require the Business owner to make first contact with you, regardless of whatever you are told by his representative, you could be faced with having to fight your case far away in a very expensive Civil Suit to recover your losses.
Be also aware that any deals you make with this secretly paid representative not in contract can be later denied by the business owner and that you might be facing this business owner in Court where he will deny he ever made any verbal deals with you and that his friend was only advising you. This would give the business owner the ability to deny any arrangements for delivery to you outside of your contract.
15 Good Rules to avoid these traps:
1. Get first contact with the Business owner in the form of writing with his notarized signature sent through USPS. DO NOT MAKE FIRST CONTACT!!!!! Do no go into his state with the intention of meeting him or doing business. Do not send or accept anything to him or from him in the mail other than USPS. This you can use to prosecute mail fraud against him later if he fails to deliver to you what he promised on time and in the condition you were promised. If first contact is by phone from the Business owner, record the call and record the number, Also get your service provider to provide you with records of the call and the number called from. Keep these records safe.
2. Get a notarized statement from the Business owner mailed to you that he authorizes this friend or “Secret Representative” to speak on his behalf officially as representing his company and his business interests to make deals for him. Make sure the business owner states his representative's full name and all contact info. Make sure his signature is signed by a Notary. Do not allow the business owner to require you send him a payment for the Notary. Right off the Bat you want him to have to commit to doing business with you by paying for all of his own Notary costs.
3.Till you get these things refuse to agree to any deals and do not deliver any payments nor business products to the Business owner, Do not send wire transfers, nor cash, do not receive either as well. Make sure all contracts are sent through USPS and payments are from Banking Institutions. Make records of the payments and keep them safe.
4. If you are receiving products and or parts, make sure your Contract demands that the business owner send them to you in your state not to another state nor location. Make sure it also stipulates that they must be sent USPS and not any other carrier. Make sure it stipulates that the package must carry with it the business owners name and business address as the sender. Do not arrange your own shipping for anything large or heavier than USPS can deliver. Make sure that your Contract stipulates that the business owner must arrange any shipping and that you will pay for the shipping only after signature agreed to costs are sent to you and delivery will not be paid for until you have the item in hand.
5. If you need to go pick something up send a friend to his location do not go into the business owner's sate yourself or you could lose jurisdiction. Do not go to visit the business owner into his state until you are sure you can win local jurisdiction. Look up and read carefully your States rules on Jurisdiction. Consult with an Attorney if you are unsure.
6. Look up and review your state's time restrictions that you are allowed before you can file a law suit against the business owner. You don't want this time to expire while he delays delivery of your paid for property and any refund of money you paid to him.
7. Operate in email only from a provider you know will not go out of business or who's account you will not lose. Save all emails from the business owner as well as his secret representative. Emails are not as strong as signed agreements by notary keep all major agreements sent through USPS. Keep all small agreements or modification at a minimum to be sent by the business owner not the friend of his, but sent either from the business owner's email address or by signature through USPS. Save all emails in your email account for later use if needed. Change your mail password frequently. Keep all packaging materials, boxes and envelopes safe you are sent. Keep them safe.
8. If you can not get written authorization from the Business owner authorizing his agent or “friend” DO NOT MAKE DEALS with him. Insist on speaking directly with the business owner in writing if by phone and record all calls and advise him you are recording the calls at the beginning of the conversation.
9. Do not agree to any non disclosure clauses or agreements that can keep you from speaking out if you lose your investments or if your product delivered is insufficient. You will want your rights to Freedom of Speech as well as need them to obtain witnesses and evidence.
10. Get all revisions or extra work not covered under your contract to be performed and approved stipulated as being required in writing with all costs detailed up front as to what you will owe required approved by your signature before any such extra work can be performed for you. You must do this to avoid liens and other unsavory tricks to hold what you have paid for or bought from the business owner and o keep him from applying huge bills toward your receiving your item.
11. Make sure your contract stipulates you must have in hand ownership of what you are owed and not delivered to his business location for you to pick up because this gives him the ability to say your product was delivered to you even though he never allowed you to retrieve it or take ownership of it. Require clear Titles in his name before he transfers any paperwork to you. Demand in hand possession and not simply proof of ownership as delivery to your location. Ask for the identifying numbers for the item to check if there is back tax owned on it in advance.
12. Do Not proceed in any event without a contract stipulating local jurisdiction. If you can not get this do not deal with them if you have not established you can prove they sought you out first. Have your contract prepared and approved by an attorney in your state. Do not allow them to create the contract for you. Do not agree to anything that isn’t set in writing and signed for by a notary by the business owner.
13. Stipulate all performances and conditions you expect within your contract, include everything you can think of. Cover all your bases. Avoid and look for any generic descriptions of product that could later be used to provide you with cheaper substitutes as compensation. An example of this would be that you were promised a "diamond ring" but then you were later delivered a zirconium diamond ring. The contract could still be seen as met by the Court. You would have needed to state by contract a genuine real diamond ring.
14. If you can not get the things listed above in compliance from the business owner or his friend “secret agent” you MUST conclude that you ARE being set up and then decline from any dealings with them.
15. If the above circumstances sound familiar to you and you are experiencing the above from a business owner you are currently dealing with you should get a consultation with an Attorney as soon as possible and begin following the rules given to you above immediately to protect yourself.
Be Aware as now you are Now forewarned. Unscrupulous scam artists that steal and damage people’s lives as well as spend years lying to you pretending to be your friend are out there and ready to take your money and put you in a terrible position of having to spend tremendous time and money to get what you are owed. They have no conscience, no morals, and admit no guilt though they remain incredibly guilty. Beware of Bait and Switch scam artists preying on another’s person's lifelong dream.

Pretty Interesting to see Kevin's Post here. I can say and authenticate completely that these statements were entered into my court case. Also for all of you that have witnessed and even been contacted on behalf of Mark Towle by Kory Geick you will find his statements very interesting above. Were any of you witness to his posts or his sales calls for Mark Towle? Were any of you told by Kory Geick himself that he ran Mark Towle's Business? If so his statements above are very interesting indeed aren't they? His Facebook page is all about God and doing the right thing. Really???? Seriously?????
I just want to wish Mark Towle a Happy Christmas! For Christmas this year I sent him an appeal for rightful Jurisdiction filed with the Supreme Court of West Virginia. Happy Holidays Mark, I know how much you follow our Lord and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Enjoy your present! Believe it or not we're all out of Coal in West Virginia or I would have sent you that!

I would have to say I am wondering why Mark Towle has removed the Mach 5 from his new incomplete web site, his forum seems to have no action, the web site still sits with most of it uncompleted. Have to wonder if Mark has received something legal from Tatsunoko in Japan. The Mach 5 has mysteriously been pulled from his list of cars offered. Currently he is showing only a Paddy Wagon and The Munsters Koach and one has to wonder if he has licensing for either of those to build them as well. Speed Racer Enterprises in America according to web articles like the one below lost all of the rights, so you have to wonder how Mark Towle can or was able to continue building Mach 5s in America. Is this why suddenly his Mach 5 is no longer offered on his itsy bitsy Web Site? Mark Towle told me 3 years ago that he would have no problem getting another Web Site as good or as grand as he got from me while he was telling me I would be hearing from his Attorney, yet here we are 3 years later and his site is incomplete, showing only 2 replicars available and most sections claiming Opening Soon we are building something Great, Sit Tight! I mean what are these guys doing anything other than defending Law Suits? I betcha Mark Towle is wondering if he shouldn't have just paid me what I was owed.
"Speed Racer" Licensing Lawsuits Settled
Parties agree that Tatsunoko alone owns and controls the rights to Speed Racer intellectual property rights worldwide
Scott Green
January 02, 2014 6:40pm EST (1/2/14)
In October 2012, anime studio Tatsunoko Production (Gatchaman, Tekkaman, Samurai Pizza Cats, Macross) filed suit against James Rocknowski, John Rocknowski and Michael Cisneros of Speed Racer Enterprises Inc. The filing in California Central District Court sought damages for nine causes of action, including false advertising, unfair competition, interference and misappropriation of intellectual property rights. Tatsunoko has announced announced that the suits have been settled by mutual agreement of all parties and are being dismissed in full.
Tatsunoko said that they granted Speed Racer Enterprises a 10-year license to Speed source material Mach Go Go Go in 2000, which was then extended a year in summer 2010. During that time, the Rocknowskis oversaw production of the Speed Racer: The Next Generation animated series, which aired on Nicktoon alongside the launch of the independently produced live-action Speed Racer movie.
Tatsunoko asserted that the the defendants continued to claim that they owned the Speed Racer rights after they expired in May 2011, and the defendants misappropriated and exploited the rights, licensing the property to a list of companies that includes Hollywood studio Lions Gate and Toonz Entertainment.
According to the settlement, the Speed Racer rights terminated in their entirety on May 31, 2011 and at that date, rights automatically reverted to Tatsunoko. As a result, Tatsunoko alone owns and controls the rights to Speed Racer intellectual property rights worldwide.

| You can still find most of the pages if you google "Gotham garage = Mach 5" or whatever you're looking for. If I had screwed things up as bad, I would have pulled everything down, changed my name and be working as a cabana boy in the south seas by now!

The Web site built for Mark Towle back in 2011 is now live at the below address.
I do not recommend anyone ever do business with mark Towle nor Kory Geick.
This site is uploaded on my Portfolio site as I am allowed to do by contract stipulations with Mark Towle.
You can reach the Web Work by going to this page. This page also updates you as to the latest deceptions being carried out by Mark Towle and Kory Geick.
You must use a computer to view the site built in 2011 in Explorer or Firefox.
Mark Towle has claimed in Court that the site is not functional nor is a Web Site. Go see for yourself how honest Mark Towle and Kory Geick have been with everyone for the past 6 years!.
