GOTCHA! Grant Norman King sentenced to 18 months Jail in Waitakere District Court this afternoon for (again) running a business whilst a bankrupt.

 

It’s taken 4 years, 329 website posts, 14 convictions (secured between 2011 and 2015 against King), 3 Statutory investigations by two Ministries of the Crown, 1 landmark Legal case precedent win, 8 media articles, the support and assistance of key King fraud victims and dozens of GNKASS (Grant Norman King Accountability Support Society) supporters, most of whom I have never met, who have been our eyes and ears in the field – but we did it!

Grant Norman King spends his first night tonight in Mt Eden Prison, beginning an 18 month term of imprisonment.

The end, when it came, was a pathetic display by Grant King, as he simpered, pleaded, and tried to manipulate the Judge and the legal system one last time.

In the dock, King pleaded “mitigating circumstances” – the Judge said “None that warrant consideration in this matter”;

King then tried “humanitarian grounds on basis of looking after dependent (19 and 27 years of age is dependent?) young women” – the Judge said “You should have thought of that before you committed your crimes”;

King then had a go at the “It’s coming up to Christmas, can we take the time of year into consideration?” -the Judge said “We don’t decide different sentences on the basis of the time of year, but on the basis of the law and the appropriate legal precedents / authorities – every authority I have canvassed says you should receive a jail sentence”.

Then it was “I don’t want to be 62 years-old and on the scrapheap, I was just being entrepreneurial and didn’t mean any harm to anyone – I just made a mistake” – the Judge said “You are a brazen and recidivist offender who conducts a charade of outward compliance whilst misleading the authorities, and you have a long history of offending, characterised by a strong sense of entitlement towards other peoples money”.

Kings last attempt at some sort of freedom then lay with his Amicus to assist the Court, who suggested that a sentence of Home Detention would meet the “deterrence” requirement for King to change his ways, whilst protecting the public – the Judge said “Home Detention is an inadequate sentencing for this level of offending”.

Immediately on being sentenced on 6 jail term convictions (all to be served concurrently, the longest sentence being 18 months imprisonment), King applied for bail pending an Appeal of his sentencing – after a brief Adjournment, the Judge said “Application denied”.

The on-duty Policeman in the dock then reached for his handcuffs, while Grant “Levi Ponyboy” King / Grant Good / George Good / Grant Norman / Grant Melrose (and all his other online aliases) and his daughter Sequoia King sobbed up a storm – it was like watching two people who had been living in the twilight zone their entire lives finally wake up to reality – and it wasn’t at all pretty to watch.

Grant Norman King, who has amassed over 40 offences in his criminal logbook of life, who even now has over $20,000 of fines owing to the Crown, who sold the Chinese investors in Tern Anchor and Trident Cycles down the river for over $300,000, who hid over $58,000 of income from the Official Assignee this time around, and who has amassed nearly $4 million dollars of fraud against 71 victims of fraud in the past 33 years, was led away, crying and sniffling like the proverbial baby.

I can’t imagine Mr King is going have a very pleasant time in Jail as a historically convicted sex offender.

Double-bunking at Mt Eden Prison should be fun too, I would imagine.

Gotcha, you prick.

The above is just a “taster” of the full story, which I have tonight had confirmed is being scheduled for publication within the next 1-2 weeks with an exclusive media organisation.

I have screeds of documents to publish as well, and I will release these documents on the website on the day the exclusive media news article is published.

Chinese investors in Tern Anchors & Trident Cycles now in full blown panic mode: they are trying to register this domain name in China to head off the upcoming Chinese media releases.

 Image result for fear

I have just received this email from an organisation calling itself China Registry Headquarters:

(Please forward this to your CEO, because this is urgent. Thanks)

We are a Network Service Company which is the domain name registration center in Shanghai, China. On Nov 5, 2015, we received an application from Huabo Holdings Ltd requested “grantnormanking” as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names. But after checking it, we find this name conflict with your company name or trademark. In order to deal with this matter better, it’s necessary to send email to you and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China?

Kind regards,

Jason Liu General Manager  China Registry (Headquarters) 6012, Qilai Building, No. 889 Yishan Road,

Shanghai 200233, China Tel: +86 21 6191 8696 Mobile: +86 138 1642 8671 Fax: +86 21 6191 8697 Web: www.chinaregistry.org.cn

It won’t work: if “Huabo Holdings” try to make a claim on this domain name, they will face a WIPO application.

Probably something Pang Tong Investments and Director Wei Li could do without, what with everything else going on for them at the moment.

Sunlight is coming, Mr Li, sunlight is coming.

I guess they haven’t heard about the book, either then……………………..what a cast of characters THAT’S going to reveal once it’s released!

“Levi Ponyboy” Grant King pleads with Victim # 72 to have these posts taken down – “No” is the response.

“Levi Ponyboy” Grant King is now in a desperate, and ultimately futile attempt at damage control.

It seems that these recent posts have attracted the (warranted) attention of a number of interested parties to the content, and Grant King has now made contact with Victim # 72, pleading with them to have these posts removed from this website.

I pause to consider how it may have felt for the victims of Grant King (72 victims over a 33-year criminal history, totalling approximately $3.5 million dollars in fraud), who may have made appeals to Grant King for him to “do the right thing” by them?

As readers of this website will now know, appeals to King in the realm of decency, integrity, keeping ones word, honouring contracts, or upholding his end of any deal always fell on deaf ears – King would either ignore them, threaten them, abuse them, or go into “victim” mode and claim “harassment” against him.

Now the shoe is on the other foot – “Ponyboy” is squealing like a stuck pig.

For goodness sake, Grant, what you are experiencing is the law of natural consequence – for once in your life, own up, and man up.

Your host of victims would expect nothing less of you.

In the words of one victim who wrote to me today:

“Grant King stole almost all I had worked for all my life up until that time.

He deserves to be punished for what he has done”

“Levi Ponyboy” Grant Norman King L.O.S.I.N.G I.T. big time.

My goodness what a day it has been today for “Levi Ponyboy” Grant Norman King:

Not content with:

1/ Being busted by Trade Me (for the fourth time) for illegal trading whilst a bankrupt;

2/ Being outed by witnesses to the illegal trading (who have the evidence) all of which affirms his “donkey-deep” role in Trident Cycles;

3/ Losing his job, income, vehicle (and who knows what else);

4/ Being exposed today as vigorously biting the hand that has been feeding him;

Mr King has now embarked on issuing direct threats against me in the public arena, via direct approach.

Apparently, according to “Ponyboy” I am to now “watch my back” – against what exactly, King didn’t say to me at the time.

King then hauled out his mobile phone, took a photo of me, and then rabidly declared that he was going to set up another website about me  – and in doing so, inadvertently admitted his ownership of a previous “anonymous poster” website (Ooops).

So basically, he simply lost the plot.

Now, I do understand and recognise that Mr King is under a significant amount of stress at the moment – but the consideration by Mr King that his stress is self-induced and a result of natural consequence for his own actions and behaviour seemed utterly lost on him.

Apparently, everyone else is to blame for his car-crash of a life, and he is a victim in all of this.

Parallel universe, anyone?

There is much, much more of this story yet to be published (via exclusive mainstream media) – but all in good time.

Memo to Trident Cycles in China: do an urgent stocktake reconciliation of your product in NZ, as it appears your NZ Manager, Mr Grant Norman King, has been skimming off the top.

Image result for skimming off the top

“Levi Ponyboy” Grant King is nothing if not careless.

Further to this story reported yesterday, the victims advise that Grant King was operating as an “Independent Trader” (which would also be illegal for King to be, under his current third bankruptcy) on Trade Me, and all references and identifying details pertaining to the Trident Cycles merchandise he was flogging to an unsuspecting public had been removed.

It wasn’t until the Trident Cycles victims found this website, and then tracked King to the Trident Cycles Facebook page (where they subsequently found the bike they had purchased) that they realised they were buying a Trident bike.

King had stripped all identifying Trident features from the bike point-of-sale, so that:

a/ Trident Cycles could not be identified as the manufacturer;

b/ Any and all warranties for the bike he was selling to them could not be subsequently claimed against.

Now, either Pang Tong Investments (the parent company of Trident Cycles in NZ) and Directors Wei Li & “Stone” Shu are parties to this commercial fraud, or King has been skimming product off the top of the inventory list, and pocketing the cash for himself as an “Independent Trader”, without the knowledge of Pang Tong Investments.

Of course, this should be no surprise to Pang Tong Investments, as this is exactly what King did when he worked at Holdfast Marine selling Rocna Anchors – Pang Tong were the manufacturers for King then as well.

Talk about a mass fallout among thieves -wait until all of this hits the local and international Chinese media in a few weeks time.
