Traffic Monsoon - Charles Scoville Timeline - Jan 2016 to Present

This is a timeline of Charles announcements since Paypal froze the Traffic Monsoons funds back in January 2016.

12th January 2016

'As you already know from the video, I'm currently in Dubai. One reason for that is to setup an office in the World Trade Center Dubai. Part of this process is also setting up a bank here, and having an additional business registration here in the UAE. We're transitioning from using PayPal to opening our own TM World Bank. VIDEO: Processor Account Balances For Transition: https://youtu.be/THV9AiCnYdY Our goal with opening our bank is to send you TM MasterCards for easier access to your earnings! We'll also have complete control over the funds received by the company for revenue sharing, without any worry about the payment processors taking control of funds. This will also increase quality of our services and reduce risk of click cheating, because with the bank we'll need to verify "Know Your Customer" documents to ensure that each member getting paid is uniquely different from all other members. What this means for you if you use PayPal: For the next 30 days you'll be able to still make purchases with PayPal. We're unable to process withdrawals through PayPal because funds will begin moving into Payza and our own TM World bank account to support withdrawal requests. We do recommend that you start using Payza for purchases for now until we get the TM World Bank completed. If you used PayPal for withdrawals, you'll be able to gain access to your funds with Payza instead during this transition. There will be a space provided for you to enter your payza email address and begin making withdrawals of your earnings through Payza. If you don't have a Payza account, get signed up for FREE here: https://secure.payza.com/?ZtQ4708%2f1zX1PKE5FlvQlA%3d%3d We'll be moving funds from PayPal to Payza, then to our own TM Worldwide Bank. Until the bank is finished getting setup, if you wish to make larger purchases unable to be processed through Payza or SolidTrustPay, you're welcomed to wire the funds to the following bank details: SWIFT CODE: CHASUS33 NAME OF BANK: JP Morgan Chase Bank ADDRESS: 2610 S STATE ST SALT LAKE CITY, UT 84115 BANK ROUTING: 124001545 ACCOUNT #: 734785868 Charles Scoville My Address: 4927 Murray Blvd Apt Z9 Murray, UT 84123

'There's another company which used payment processors and sold millions of their products/services.. When they setup their own bank, they became a billion dollar company; generating billions in sales, instead of millions. Sales increased. Their ability to penetrate additional markets increased. They could provide their services to more countries the processors didn't accept sending/receiving money to. The same team which setup that bank for this other company is the same team working on setting up TM World Bank. It's an honor working with these individuals. For the long term, this is going to be a greater benefit for traffic monsoon members than anyone might be able to imagine right now. Yes, it's a bit of a frustration -- just like it would be to move from one hosting company to another -- we're moving to our own bank, so I respect that some will find this a bit frustrating .. but in the long-run, this will be so much better for each member, and so much better for the company as a whole.
Not only does this give us the ability to sell more services to more people.. but it also will make it a lot easier for our members to get paid, and use their money faster without a middleman. It also protects the company over the long-term from sudden decisions a processor like paypal might make without warning. We'll have full control over the assets of the company, which is exactly the best way forward to make this company stand strong for years to come.
If you knew of the exciting things happening right now with amazing Emirates I'm meeting while here in Dubai, no one would think this is even close to being over. We're just getting started!..'

$31,259,465.00 + $20,246,413.89 = $51,505,878.89
We're in transition to move these funds out of PayPal. I have a meeting today, and if all goes well then we'll have 13 million to cover all member account balances moved into the bank, ...'

Once everything is setup, and funds are moved out of paypal .. countries like Hungary which isn't supported by Payza will have access to our banking system. Hold on.. not much longer now !! smile emoticon I know it's hard not to give into worries.. but keep things in perspective. Most mlm companies that reward commissions this month won't payout until the end of the next month .. so please keep your head about yourself while we move to our own bank.

Hello, thank you for being a valued Traffic Monsoon member!
We're currently transitioning from using PayPal to opening our own TM World Bank.
Our goal with opening our bank is to send you TM MasterCards for easier access to your earnings! We'll also have complete control over the funds received by the company for revenue sharing, without any worry about the payment processors taking control of funds.
This will also increase quality of our services and reduce risk of click cheating, because with the bank we'll need to verify "Know Your Customer" documents to ensure that each member getting paid is uniquely different from all other members.
What this means for you if you use PayPal:
We're unable to process withdrawals through PayPal because funds will begin moving into Payza and our own TM World bank account to support withdrawal requests.
We do recommend that you start using Payza for purchases for now until we get the TM World Bank completed.
If you used PayPal for withdrawals, you'll be able to gain access to your funds with Payza instead during this transition.
There will be a space provided for you to enter your Payza email address and begin making withdrawals of your earnings through Payza.
If you don't have a Payza account, get signed up for FREE via Payza website.
Payza Sign Up - https://secure.payza.com/?kAbQiJpNO4gZt5WkUABMYQ%3d%3d
We'll be moving funds from PayPal to Payza, then to our own TM Worldwide Bank.
Until the bank is finished getting setup, if you wish to make larger purchases unable to be processed through Payza or SolidTrustPay, you're welcomed to wire the funds if the minimum is of $7500/£5000 (please ask for wire transfer details)
Also please be aware, if your banners/sites are currently not showing or you are having issues logging in; this will be sorted as we are going through the transition. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Best Regards,
CEO - Charles Scoville


4th February 2016
From the Official Traffic Monsoon Facebook page:
'PayPal is now up to $58,553,217.77 -- Please get the word around to start using Payza for purchases. This balance has grown by more than $10 Million since this announcement was made. If that amount was inside Payza instead we'd have no pending payouts through Payza'

5th February 2016



9th February 2016
'Everyone knows what the situation is. We're in a position where most of the funds are inside paypal and paypal is not allowing funds to go out. We've retained one of the top attorneys in the USA to help with this matter. Their only reasoning for holding onto funds is because we grew too fast in a short amount of time. We have a group of people here in Dubai who have been working on resolution towards making sure members get paid right away using a new payment gateway. We're getting closer to finishing the resolution to the matter. #1 goal is paying members asap while we resolve getting funds out of paypal. What PayPal is doing is not fair on our members, me, or the company as a whole. In fact, we believe it's illegal what PayPal is doing. We're doing our best given the situation, and I don't know why anyone would say B.S. when I've always been honest and open with our members.
Just know we are working on the best outcome for all members asap, which means payouts, not just payments for purchases. We have made some very incredible connections I can't even describe or release who they are, but I will just say that we are very close to the resolution of the matter at hand, and that there are plans in development for taking TM to a whole new level structurally and commercially...'


12th February 2016
I truly am doing all that I can to get this situation resolved, and have met with so many people discussing ways to overcome it, including individuals who are in position to help in significant ways. PayPal is promising to send the balance in full within 180 days.
We're working through many solutions, including retaining one of the best attorneys to resolve this situation. This attorney has worked with the Department of Justice, has connections who are in the FBI, and a friend of his also is friends with the CEO of PayPal. We're working all possible channels to get this resolved amicably and quickly.
Please know that I recognize fully the position this is placing each of you in, and I am working so very hard to get this resolved for you and all members as soon as humanly possible.
Worse case scenario, PayPal will release the funds in a max of 180 days and everyone's pending withdrawals will be paid. I've always been honest with you, so I at least hope you stick with me through this journey as we face what PayPal has done to YOUR business together and get through it together, and keep going for years and years to come.
Best case sceneario, we'll have a new payment gateway added to the system in a matter of days and our solutions we've been working on will be in full force and within the next 3 weeks or so we'll have all the pending payouts caught up and withdrawals instant again. If all the sales which have been going into PayPal these last few weeks went into Payza & Solid Trust Pay, then we wouldn't have any issues with paying anyone.. So let's focus on having everyone use Payza or Solid Trust Pay.
The best thing for everyone to do is setup Payza, or SolidTrustPay while we complete work adding an additional method of payment and get it built into the system. PayPal is no longer a method of payment on the website.
The trajectory of the business has been upwards, so keep doing all you have been doing to grow the business and take this to the next level (like you always have) then we'll make it through this challenge in a shorter time.'


16th February 2016
While We Wait PayPal Funds
Plan Moving Forward:
We know for certain the funds inside PayPal will be released. Exactly when that is we do not know, but we are working on getting them released ASAP.
While we wait for the funds to be released, the earnings which are backed up by those funds will be placed into PENDING status.
Sharing positions from adpacks purchased 11 Feb 2016 or before which are active will be placed into PENDING.
Reason being, they have shared in revenues which came in mostly from PayPal purchases.
Pending Withdrawal Requests have been returned to your balance.
Earnings from 11 Feb 2016 or before will be placed into PENDING also. Reason is because earnings before this date mostly came to members from PayPal purchases.
Once PayPal releases the funds and we have them available for payouts, all pending balances and positions will be restored into Active status.
This will make it so you can get paid instantly on the new commissions and earnings generated by the new purchases of services.
In other words, all the business which has been impacted by PayPal is placed into pending while we await for those funds to be released.'


 20th February 2016
'Charles: '...the World Wide TM Bank is ON HOLD for a little bit especially as we need to release those funds out of PayPal. At what stage we might pick those plans up in the future, I don't know. Or if we might take a different direction altogether, I don't know. There's definitely alot there that needs to be sorted out...
...or will it just benefit the members most to just open up a bank account somewhere and handle some types of merchant services. And it probably wouldn't be in Dubai, we'd have the Bank account in the US...'


3rd March 2016:
Update About Traffic Monsoon's Bank and Credit Card Processing:

As you know we released news that we were moving away from PayPal and opening our own bank.'

'The problem we bumped into is PayPal is holding onto the funds. To complete the opening of our bank we need an initial deposit. The required deposit amount is currently held by PayPal'.
We're waiting for PayPal to release these funds, then we can complete the plans of opening our own bank.
We're reviewing concerns members have submitted for us to review relating to opening our own bank, and whether it would be better to simply use a bank account in the USA rather than place funds supporting member balances into our own bank. This is still something under review, even though our original desire was to have our own bank.
We have setup Allied Wallet for processing credit cards directly on the site. The reason it's not live on the site is simply because when the sales come in through this gateway, we want to first have the ability to pay members through Allied Wallet cards. Setting up these cards will take just a little more time. We wanted to have them branded as Traffic Monsoon cards, which may take a couple of months to complete.
It may be decided to use unbranded cards while the branded cards get completed. This is something I have a conference call today to discuss with Allied Wallet.

'Update About Traffic Monsoon's Bank'
As you know, we are working to release funds held by PayPal so we can timely honor all of our commitments to you.

We also are considering a number of payment plans and gateways, including private-labeling a credit card or otherwise arranging for issuance of a credit card.

We may even consider acquiring an interest in, or venturing with, a bank that has the right to issue credit cards. However, for now, we are focused on solving the PayPal situation and rapidly providing to all of you a secure, efficient means of paying for services and sharing revenues.
We already offer a number of alternative payment methods: Payza and Solid Trust Pay
We also are in working with Allied Wallet to process credit cards directly on the site. We hope to complete that process within a few weeks, but we do not yet know the exact timing.
In short, we are diligently working to ensure that each and every one of you can continue to receive the service and benefits traditionally provided by Traffic Monsoon. We are also developing innovative new content and programs that will serve your needs. Bare with us for just a short while and we believe the results very likely will meet or exceed all of your objectives.'

Yes, PayPal has limited Traffic Monsoon's account and they are holding funds.. all the funds will be transferred to TrafficMonsoon after waiting 180 days, and then placed in other payment processors for withdrawals).

'How To *Correctly* Explain How Traffic Monsoon Works

Basically, people can click through the traffic exchange to earn free adverting credits. People can click on cash links to earn money, and refer others to click on cash links and earn referral cash from each referral click as long as the sponsor has clicked a minimum of 10 ads in the traffic exchange to qualify for referral cash link click earnings. There's no purchase requirement for earning from referral cash links clicks, and no purchase & no click requirement for earning referral purchase commissions. Anyone can surf and never purchase anything and still receive unlimited advertising credits for clicking through the traffic exchange.

If people don't want to surf to earn credits, they can spend money to receive ad service. The revenue from the purchase gets shared with people who have purchased adpacks and qualify through clicking ads to share in revenues. An adpack gives visitor credits through the traffic exchange, banner click credits, and a sharing position. Sharing positions will receive a max of $55.00. There is no set amount these positions receive in a day, and no guarantee the positiosn would ever reach their max. It's completely related to sales of services, and only revenue which has come from advertising sales get shared with those who have qualified. There are multiple services being offered which provide the buyer an ad service, and the revenues from each of these purchases are shared.. and a portion of each purchase goes into reserve.

Benefits:
Get Visitors To Your Website
Advertising your website can increase visitors. If you are a blogger it can increase the number of readers you have. If you are selling something online it can increase the number of potential customers you have.
Earn an income by telling others about the services
Earn an income by telling people to sign-up free and click on cash links.
With AdPacks you receive sharing positions. You can qualify to share in site revenues through clicking a minimum of 10 ads in the traffic exchange.
You can surf an unlimited number of sites and receive an unlimited number of ad credits to be assigned to your ad campaigns.

If you are telling people to "put in" $50 and get out "$55" in ANY time frame-- this is absolutely WRONG. It's not how it works. No one is "putting in" money or "depositing" money. The services we offer are for SALE if people PURCHASE the services. Please DO NOT position traffic monsoon as any sort of investment, because that is NOT what Traffic Monsoon offers. Traffic Monsoon ONLY offers ad services, and since the VALUE of our advertising is membership driven, the revenues from the ad purchases are shared with the members. When you qualify for sharing, there is no guaranteed amount you will receive in a day, and no guarantee (implied or otherwise) that your positions will receive a max of $55. In fact, our ad plans page specifically informs the buyer, "Reaching this maximum is not guaranteed, or affixed to any time frame. It's completely reliant upon sales of services, and you being qualified."


MARCH 23rd 2016
'Allied Wallet Update => => We're almost ready! Things you need to know:
First of all, there is NO need for you to sign-up for Allied Wallet. None. Payments are NOT going to be sent to your Allied Wallet account. Payouts WILL be sent to your CARD which you will order through Traffic Monsoon directly.
When you enter your credit card details for making a purchase, your card information will NOT be stored by Traffic Monsoon for future purchases.
We're working on the order form for sending you cards for payouts to be built into the site when things are completely setup for this to take place.
To make purchases with your credit card you'll first need to upload a photo ID.
We'll also be adding requirement to upload a photo ID to view cash links. This will help strengthen the effectiveness of this form of advertising.
Make sure your Traffic Monsoon account name and address matches what you have on your government issued ID.
If you are uploading your passport, there isn't an address. It's up to you to ensure your address on your Traffic Monsoon account reflects your correct physical address, otherwise if you order an Allied Wallet card to receive payout, your card will not be sent to the correct address.'


March 31st 2016
'There's been SO many uploaded ID's. Right now there are 52930 ID awaiting to be reviewed. We've already done so many. More keep getting submitted all the time. We're not asleep on the job. We just have alot of work to do. We'll make it through this queue, but it will take time. Thank you for your patience.'

APRIL 15th 2016

'Revenue sharing is being fixed. We have run out of space on our servers due to the amount of files being uploaded (both banners and ID cards). We have mounted NAS (Network Attached Storage) onto server 1, which was instantly overloaded due to the processing of so much data. Server 1 crashed. It's being replaced right now. We're also setting up a separate storage site for the data. We're working on resolution which will allow us to fix the revenue sharing as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience. When it's fixed, the hours missed will be caught up'.

18th June 2016
"Are people still earning in Traffic Monsoon? YES! Are people still getting paid instantly? YES!!
Haters will only try to create fear, uncertainty, and doubt within you.
In case you have missed the answers previously to these questions:
1. Where is the bank? - The Traffic Monsoon bank was planned before the PayPal limitation. After it was limited, plans continued and it was made known to me after news of the bank was released that an initial deposit was required to complete the plans. With the funds temporarily held by PayPal for 180 days, the plans couldn't continue further until PayPal releases the funds.
With this additional time given to us before completing plans with opening a bank, it's given me a chance to evaluate whether this is truly in the best interest of the company as a whole, or whether simply using an established company such as Allied Wallet, STP, and Payza would be better.

2. What about the bank account in Dubai? - There is a bank account opened there, but there is no need to use it because there is a bank account in the USA. There were some who shared potential that having the bank account in Dubai could create issues for the company. No funds were ever placed in that account.
The bank account in Dubai was only intended to make it easier for people in that region to send wire transfers. Now that there is a business bank account setup in the USA, we are seeing this solution also is working just fine.

3. What happened to Amin Forati? - There were circumstances which caused doubt to fall upon whether this man was doing the things he said he was going to do for the company. It's now spread throughout forums that he is not a Maltese Ambassador any longer. He was dismissed and is currently being investigated for fraud. Amin Forati was let go without pay.

4. What about PayPal releasing funds each 30 days? - I agree. PayPal did say that they would evaluate each 30 days, but they haven't released anything yet.

5. What about debit cards being released? - Allied Wallet cards would be done if it was up to me, but there are APIs and coding details being ironed out. I have been discussing these things with my developer and with Allied Wallet, and I have pressed them to finalize whatever needs to get done, and get these cards released. Both Allied Wallet and our members wish to have these cards released, so we are trying to sort out whatever needs to get done in order to release them.

Obviously everyone is getting paid without problems with STP and Payza. We have improved support so if you haven't received a purchase or withdrawal, our support team is better equip to handle solving things for you."

'Charles Scoville Good news. I spoke with the SEC this evening, and they have been so kind and wonderful. They have recognized I have been very honest and open with them about everything, and they recognize my pure intentions behind this business. They know and can confirm that the reason I moved funds to my personal account previously to coming to the USA was to protect people's money from these fraudulent checks circulating. They feel we can work something out that allows Traffic Monsoon to move forward through restructuring. More discussions will follow, but I have expressed to them that I want to find through creativity working together with the SEC a way to make everyone happy, or at least say: "oh, it's not that bad!" Additional conversations and meetings with them will follow. More updates to come when they're made available'

31st July 2016
'Regardless of what you think. Traffic Monsoon has more money to pay everyone what they have earned .. More money exists in the payment processors than is owed on member accounts for earnings.. No matter what, there are profit margins .. So even if everyone was buying adpacks, the profit margin was the only thing being shared on all the services anyway. Plus, the service purchased is labeled as a service, not an investment .. And further in terms of service everyone agreed to upon signup, says that buying any service with traffic monsoon is not any form of an investment of any kind. Full disclosure of expectation always provided that qualifying to share in revenues by clicking minimum number of ads does not guarantee any amount you would receive .. but whatever profits generated by processing the sales of services you can surf and qualify to receive. Yes, a max of $55 was set, but there wasn't ever a guarantee it would be reached. No time frame ever given.
I have always done things to help and benefit everyone in this company. The hurt came from PayPal limiting funds. I have always done everything to help lift people, benefit people, and help people achieve something more.. Even the services themselves rank among the best advertising services online.
Just remember I have always worked for the good of members. Always.. Even if plans I released didn't work out and I was called a liar.. it was me who at least tried hard to work for all of you every step of the way since day 1.
When people wonder why I didn't release news that paypal released funds. It took time to request all the funds. July 11th I learned. So I tested it out by sending $100,000 to my bank. I waited to see if it actually came. A few days later I found that they came. I started withdrawing more from PayPal. It took 255 requests to request the total I was able to withdraw. I didn't request it all out in 1 sitting. It took some time. Because I knew it would take time to move the funds out of PayPal, I didn't release that this was happening. I wanted to first get them into Payza then release to the public that PayPal had released some funds. I wanted it to be "BOOM" it's there. I didn't want to tell people PayPal released funds but not be able to do anything. I wanted to tell people this had happened when I could do something, and actually have the balances released!
I didn't have statistics to show me which services revenue came from. to me it didn't matter. Reason is because what was shared was profit margin regardless of service purchased.
Revenue was there and more money existed than was on member balances.
I definitely have shown what was in processors and how much more was there compared to member balances. Ponzis DO NOT have enough money to pay people what they have earned. Traffic Monsoon DOES.
Today 31 July 2016.'

'I've spoken with a few lawyers lately. One thing is clear. Traffic Monsoon is not offering a security. It's not offering an investment. That is one thing very certain through these communications. A security is when someone makes a deposit or investment, and walks away. Does nothing. They rely upon the market to do its thing, and hopefully make a profit. There is no service provided to these "investors". Traffic Monsoon sells services. One service is the adpack. It provides a service. The company also is in need of service: surfers. Surfers are paid when they provide a service to traffic monsoon. Paid with money which actual money already exists and received by the company from the sales of ad services. Money paid from advertisers who made purchases 24 hours ago or more, the surfers provide a service to the company and view other people's websites. Every lawyer I've spoken to about this situation all believe the SEC is wrong in their findings, and especially wrong when they learn that there is more money available than what people have earned!

So why did the SEC file this lawsuit? Why have so many judges been recused from the case after being assigned? The SEC is getting paid. Are you? The receiver is being paid. Are you?

What is their intention here? Is it really to protect you? Or to grab the money? If multiple lawyers all say there is no investment here or any security... and the State of Utah Securities Division closed their file in the past finding no security.. what is truly going on here?

Since plans were already in motion to open a bank and secure company assets there to avoid this sort of thing, it was decided to turn this situation into a positive. Inform people of the bank plans, and time expectation for this to be completed as given to me by this group of people already working on the plans. I knew it would take 6 months to get all money out from PayPal, but also relied upon PayPal releasing some funds each 30 days. We could transition those funds into the bank, and payout members on cards issued by Traffic Monsoon.



After releasing the news, I went to work trying to help ensure members didn't have to wait 6 months to get paid. Among all the people we met with, there were a few people who seemed genuinely that they could help. Amin Forati positioned himself as someone who could help with PayPal. He believed he could get all the money out with the help of his international contacts within the UN, senators, and various other connections he has within the banking world. The only way he could pull this off was if he was made CFO of the company. Contract was drawn up to include percentage of revenues of the company, he was made CFO, and then time passed. It didn't appear anything was going on. It didn't appear he was doing anything. Time was of the essence, and we needed to find solution urgenty. Since he was bombarded by emails.. and many people contacting me accusing him of lying about his ambassadorship for Malta, and picking into the claims presented by Mr Amin Forati about his background-- plus in additional nothing actually being done to resolve the PayPal issue, but a lie he created about $3 million being released in a month; which never happened.. I had to let him go without pay, and felt the contract was null and void since he truly didn't do anything he was contracted to do... and therefore I was not obligated to pay him anything at all.'

17th AUGUST 2016
'Many of you have not read the full deposition. If you did you would come to a question asked of me about an amount of money removed from my Traffic Monsoon account totaling around $80 million. The SEC wanted to know why I would remove this amount from my account. The SEC was so confused WHY. I told them this was too much money for me. I didn't need that. So I chose to put it in queue for sharing to members, and through time the amount of money I had earned as a personal income from Traffic Monsoon was shared with members instead. I also had my programmer reduce my personal income and place more of it automatically into being shared with members so I wouldn't have to remove it as often.

The SEC's report does not report how much money I had donated to charities. The SEC's report does not report on how much FREE members had withdrawn from clicking on cashlinks and referral commissions.

The SEC's report also does not indicate that millions had already been sent to Payza from my personal account AND HAD BEEN paid out to members. $150,000 per day combined between personal and business account had been sent to Payza Monday-Friday for quite some time. $100,000 from personal and $50,000 from the business account. Having company funds moved over to my personal account to be moved to Payza was quite typical, because I could move more from my personal account because of the account type than the business account type allowed.

Interestingly enough, the SEC's report DOES recognize that Traffic Monsoon website was not selling any investments, and also none of the promotional tools provided by Traffic Monsoon contained anything about investing. The purchase page displays the service a buyer would receive, and also clearly indicates the purchase is not an investment. They also recognize that through the site there is no income guarantees, no refunds, and customer's agreement that their purchase of advertising service is NOT an investment. So why in their report are they calling customers investors?'

Let's put things into perspective so you can see how ridiculous this is. I sell ad service. I reward non-paying customers to click on ads. I chose to reward people who buy an adpack service to click ads from profit margins. I have advised potential customers this is not an investment and only by the service if they want ad service, just like I had in the terms of service. Every effort was made to communicate with the potential customer what it is being offered on my website, and that the offer was not for any sort of investment. No income guarantee. Nothing the definition of investment would warrant had been offered or guaranteed to customers.
In contrast: Hillary Clinton used a personal unsecured email to send/receive confidential information, which is a breach to national security protocols and could have placed our country at significant risk. She lied under oath in her deposition to the FBI.
The Department of Justice looks at what Hillary Clinton did and says, "that was careless." No charges filed. Even though confidential information which was transmitted through an unsecured email address could have placed our nations security at risk!
But me-- PayPal has crippled my business, and because of PayPal's actions people claimed to have been scammed but they fail to understand that I couldn't pay people or deliver the purchased traffic when PayPal was holding onto over $60 million of my company's money. Instead of people understanding that the PayPal limitation blocked my ability to deliver traffic and pay people, heartless people attack my personal integrity because of misunderstanding and twisting things to make me look bad.
Telling the TRUTH in my deposition to the SEC.. selling an ad service and choosing to give my profit margins away is suddenly so terrible there's groups of people who organized who believe I should go to jail for the rest of my life. The SEC has taken away everything I own; making me basically homeless and penniless and powerless to act.'

A lot of speculation and twisting of things to make up different stories than what actually is happening.
When the SEC first filed their lawsuit they seemed so kind. They were willing to keep the website online but simply discontinue transactions. They said they wanted to work with me towards a goal of having traffic monsoon move forward in some fashion.
The Receiver took down the website. News articles said the receiver informed me before doing that, but I have received no such communication. So when I said I didn't know why the website was down and it appeared it could be a DDOS attack, people believed the news article accusing me of lying. I never did receive any such update from the receiver. Plus, the receiver also said they were happy to keep the website online and asked if I could add a note about receivership to the website. I agreed, and asked them to provide me a note they wanted me to put. They never provided me any such note, but took the website offline without communicating with me about it beforehand.
I started to see that the sec and receiver weren't being completely honest with me, and I felt they were starting to play around. So I obtained an attorney named Ed Wall.
From what I can see, Ed Wall has a lot of experience and has been a very good attorney for others in the past.
As time went on, I had desire to file motions and make some response before the preliminary injunction. Ed Wall had the belief we just need to wait for the preliminary injunction.
In the search for an attorney I spoke with many different attorneys. Each who wanted to take the case felt confident based upon the facts of the case that I wasn't offering any sort of investment or security, and that traffic monsoon isn't a ponzi. Among all of the attorneys I spoke with I felt Loren Washburn was a very good fit who has the professional experience with this matter to help in the best possible way.
Ed Wall appears to be a very good attorney but just not specialized in securities laws. After speaking with Loren Washburn and one of his associates, I felt their understanding of Securities laws would greatly help resolve the matter from years of experience working with securities, helping companies go public, and working with IPOs. I was told that with all these years of experience and passion for this subject matter, that not only do they know what a security is according to federal laws, but also what a security isn't. They firmly concluded that traffic monsoon is absolutely not a security and definitely not a ponzi especially because every bit of people's earnings are truly available to payout to everyone completely.
So I made the switch a little over a week ago to Loren Washburn's law firm. They wanted to file motions, and when motions are filed the SEC needs a chance to respond to them before the preliminary injuction. So I was informed that they could be changing the date of the preliminary injunction until October sometime. They setup a time to talk with me today about updates for me, but people online discovered the date change before I was updated by my attorneys. This discussion with my attorneys is scheduled to happen today.
My attorneys firmly stand: Traffic Monsoon was not offering any investment product based upon legal definitions and case law. Based upon legal definitions and case law Traffic Monsoon is also not a ponzi. We'll do all we can to continue forward to bring traffic monsoon back, and provide all the services and meet all the commitments to our customers.'

The core of a ponzi is this:
- fraudulent investment is solicited by offering returns, or interest rate over a set amount of time.
- high interest rates and fast returns are offered to lure in fresh investors
- as investors are owed returns promised, the ponzi is unable to pay the returns owed
- the only way to pay the promised returns when they become due to be paid is by soliciting more investors
- this scenario breeds debt and eventually the race to keep up with new investors depositing money into the scheme cannot keep up with the demand of money earlier investors requests for being paid.
- collapse occurs when the ponzi simply doesn't have the money to pay people what they were promised, and they also aren't able to get their original investment back because it's been paid to someone else.
- if everyone decided to withdraw their earnings at the same time, it would be impossible to pay everyone. That's what causes the collapse.


The core of traffic monsoon is this:
- advertising services are being offered without any returns, and no interest rate over a set amount of time
- there are no interest rates or fast returns being offered
- specifically the website informs potential customers their purchase of ad service is not an investment or deposit
- there are no promises for income
- it's offered to click ads and get paid for clicking on ads from money spent by the people who placed those ads in front of them.
- clicking ads to earn is available to people who never make a purchase (free members)
- approx 95% of the membership never made a purchase
- only real money is earned
- there is no debt
- there is no collapse because at all times there is more than enough money to pay people what they have already earned, because it only is earned after a sale of service is completed and money is already in the company's hand.. and it's from that money earnings are rewarded in commissions and completing tasks. If there was no sales of service, there would be no money to pay new earnings, and the new earnings wouldn't exist. Earnings have only existed after a sale of service, and therefore only real money has and ever would be earned.
- if everyone decided to withdraw their earnings at the same time, everyone would be paid.. it would never collapse!

I can't stop thinking about how wrong the SEC are! The SEC is using numbers to argue there are not enough funds to refund everyone in the USA, but these numbers include account balance purchases; not solely purchases using payment processors. The SEC is using these figures to distort the truth! This shows the SEC is not drilling down to uncover the truth, but simply using bits of information to tell their own convoluted story. To drill down to the truth they should have sought to obtain numbers which only were purchases using money from payment processors, not account balances. There actually is more than enough to refund everyone in the USA (thus eliminating need for a receiver). The SEC is distorting the truth to reach their desired conclusion, rather than reach the absolute truth.
The offer made on Traffic Monsoon is for ad service, and not an investment.
United Housing Foundation, Inc versus Forman indicates a key component to whether something is a security investment. "managerial efforts of others" Wealth management is a high-level professional service that combines financial and investment advice, accounting and tax services, retirement planning and legal or estate planning for one set fee.
My bank, for example, wanted to manage my funds in such a way to help me get profits by offering to place some of my money into mutual funds, or other similar types of investment options with the intention to increase my money. This was not a service offered on Traffic Monsoon to do such a thing for customers.
The only thing for sale on Traffic Monsoon is ad service, and specifically informs the buyer that their purchase of ad service is not an investment and is not a deposit. At the core, traffic monsoon did not offer interest, returns, and certainly didn't purport to managing people's funds in a way intended to help people get gains while we managed their funds or any other way that would be classified as a security.
Another key component to a security is how profits are derived. Were profits on Traffic Monsoon derived by an investment as well as capital appreciation? No. Someone's money spent on ad service was not used or purported to be used in such a way, and the earnings did not come from capital appreciation.
How were earnings derived on Traffic Monsoon?
=> Sales commissions are earned by the person who referred a customer. Unlimited Commissions
=> Sales commissions are earned by adpack customers who help deliver services for the customer. Commissions from Sales Stop at $55. There has never been any amount promised per day, week, year, or ever! It's always been told that these earnings come from sales of all the services except cash links. When a sale of service is processed, commissions are rewarded to the person who referred the customer and to the people who purchased adpacks AND clicked ads in order to qualify to receive these commissions.
(although they are adpack customers, they do not get rewarded for buying adpacks. The commissions from sales are earned through clicking ads) 
=> No purchase requirement to earn commissions referring customers to buy services
=> No purchase requirement to earn by clicking ads (cash links)
=> No purchase requirement to earn from referral ad clicks (cash links)
=> No purchase requirement to click through the traffic exchange and earn advertising credits.
The core of a ponzi is this:
- fraudulent investment is solicited by offering returns, or interest rate over a set amount of time.
- high interest rates and fast returns are offered to lure in fresh investors
- as investors are owed returns promised, the ponzi is unable to pay the returns owed
- the only way to pay the promised returns when they become due to be paid is by soliciting more investors

In truth, Traffic Monsoon is neither a security investment nor a ponzi. Let's hope the honorable Judge Jill Parrish can see the actual truth, and recognize the SEC has distorted the truth to reach their wrong conclusions.

  1. Hi, i am an affiliate of My advertising Pays and very unhappy as you can imagine. We have ( in my opinion) Michael Deese (CEO) who is actively defrauding people out of their savings, income and putting people out of their homes with this scam. I was a total believer in MAP until the latest " update" where he states he will be launching V 2.5, but will not address the questions from the many disgruntled members.He is distancing himself from the members and responsibility of all their funds. I was in Danny Turners group the Voice of Mappers and they have just kicked me out for telling some uncomfortable truths. This man needs to be stopped before he starts ruining more peoples lives. He has now got control of the "Voice of Mappers" admin from Danny Turner..why he let him take control i have no idea. This is just the same as liquidating a company and starting again a little up the line...its an ongoing fraud!! A disgruntled x Mapper !!

  2. DNB group in UAE turned out to be a company operating with no authorization nor licenses to provide many of those fancy services listed on Forati's homepage. He is a general trading meaning buying and selling but not covering oil&gas, no pharmaceutical goods, no chemicals etc. He is on run at the moment and hiding from people whom are after him. Beknown his involvement in MT, many fraudulent activities during Feb & Mar 2016 incl. money laundry for MT and governments, led to being able to deposit the needed collateral down payment of approx 2 Mill USD for the bank guarantee he facilitated for Swiss Space Company(S3).
    He was banned for travel in March 2016 in Iran for cheque fraud of approx. 4.5 Mil. euro. I now wonder what S3 will do knowing to have a fraudulent, liar and swindle a person on their board and as one of major share holders. As you also stated he also has a case in Swiss by an Italian guy!!
    This guy as mentioned is on run and when I visited his apartment yesterday in Dubai, it was covered by warning and court orders - one for not have been paid his rental for more than a year - interesting to know a person with such self created prestige was not even able to pay his daily dues.
    I have some pictures I can share if you want. Cheers S

  4. Hi Tara,

    I raised a dispute with Paypal but there is a limit of 180 days from original transaction. Transaction was made Oct 15. however, TM was not bankrupt until late 2016. Surely, 180/120day limit is not from the trancsation date. I used a visa direct debit but my bank transferred me to dispute department. Help please!
