Tasman liquidation brings question for Blue Chip lawyers

As someone burned by both Bluechip and Tasman I am disgusted about a few things that I've been told.

Surely Michael Reeves the owner of Tasman (who owned 20% of Bluechip)is also to blame. This humanoid has retained all his Tasman staff under the banner of United Home Loans located on level 18, 3 Albert Street. He has even retained Mac Bycroft the former CEO of Tasman (and ex-Bluechipper) to be UHL's CEO. If this was not enough Bycroft also fronts a 'merchant bank' peddling equity for Michael Reeves called Saville and Co from the same address. They all stick together. This is clear when you also notice that Saville and Co has an Associate Director called Kevin Miles, who was Mark Bryer's former Product Development honcho.

Reeves did get Tasman by default, that said he ALSO owned 20% of BC behind the scenes even after he got Tasman. The headless chickens were running around trying to keep that quiet. I agree that Bycroft was not to be trusted. Miles was not one of the true baddies but forgets that you are judged by the company you keep. Being seen round the traps with Reeves, Bycroft and surprisingly Bell and Bryers does not speak well for him. He works for Reeves too ay! I had no idea. Personally I have nothing against him but I'd have thought that if he was truly blameless he would have been once bitten twice shy.

Hi ex BC AKA BTDT AKA Kevin Miles...

Nice try on the "links" but way off target.

I am not even in the country!!

As I said earlier on, you are way off with the links, don't deny that BDTD is also a colleague, but as for being Kevin, as I said, way off the mark.

So here are a couple of clues for you: -- I am probably more than 25 years older than him, and unlike him I don't own double-digit Bluechip properties. I haven't seen Bryers or Bell for nigh on two years, and as I also said I am not presently in the country, and haven't been for some time.

I like to keep in touch with the events regarding BC and their associated companies, and have also assisted the SFO with some information.

I can't be any more clearer than that, however that may not stop you coming to the wrong conclusions with your amateur detective work. What more can I say.

I suspect this one is meant for me, however it has lost me completely!!!!!!

Can't say as I like your tone with your quote "how dare you adopt a tone of such high moral authority".

Let me be clear on this, I wasn't aware that I had, and anyway I was never in a position to understand the in-depth financial shenanigans of the company. I fought hard to instil some ethical processes in what was thought by most employees to be a company which had a viable product.

I, like many other employees bought Bluechip properties, and I was left considerably out of pocket when the company folded.

So before you jump to conclusions, let me tell you a fact, the majority of the Bluechip employees had no idea of the true financial situation of the company. There were many good people working in that organisation who sometimes worked 14 hours a day, and they were devastated when the company started to slide and eventually ended up like it has.

Many have ended up in the same position as the clients.

So get your facts right, and do not question my integrity as you have no knowledge of me whatsoever.

Well - that seems to have shut ExBC up. Good job too.

I was offered a job with BC in 2004 (I think, it may have been 2005) and turned it down. I considered it was too good to be true - the offer was phenomenal - stratospheric by way of salary and bonus. The heat, even then, was too much for me.

I think BC must be where the idea for the TV Series "Hells Kitchen" came from. Gordon Ramsay never cooked anything like a BC Roast, but his intolerance for BS and poor performance sure would have been a help for all the Ma and Pa Kettles who were attracted by the slick operations and presentations of the Ex BC'ers.

Hi idiot -

You said you were 25 years older than Kevin Miles. He's 41 or 42 so that puts you in your sixties (your words)

Your original posting name was Ex BC. But you say you did not work for them???

You have said that you are abroad (but not sunning yourself).

In short you are a mathematically challenged fool. I support all the above comments from the above posters that have the same idea (especially Peter and Independiente).

You also say "I was not an employee of Bluechip; there are other ways to work for companies"... so you were a contractor??? If you were not an employee how did you have access to critical internal information and how were you in a position to influence or instil any ethical practices in that blighted company? If people get you wrong it is because you are a liar who is deliberately obscuring elements of your scenario to avoid detection. You call yourself ex-BC but say you never worked for them. Of course this makes the person who took this on face value an ignoramus!!! Stop your BS and leave these forums to serious people. Or perhaps start your own Bribanc.

So Bell is still working for Bryers is he (and Michael Reeves???) How do we know this?

Again, your assumptions are wrong so I suggest the mantle of idiot be placed firmly on your shoulders. So in answer and to put you out of your misery :-

I said I was PROBABLY more than 25 years older than Kevin Miles, not knowing his actual age.

In my original posting name it was easier to write Ex BC than "A consultant acting ..... and so on". And as has been seen from many of these postings you should not put too much store on posters names.

Being overseas does not necessarily mean being in sunny climes. Did you not go to school?

Most consultants/contractor have access to photocopiers and fax machines just like any employee would do, and also get to speak to the employees as it is part of the job. So information can be gleaned these ways. This would seem pretty obvious to anyone surely.

Consultants/contractors are often hired by companies to work in key critical areas. In many cases the programmes/IT/HR work they do puts them in a position of influence. Again, this would point to your inexperience and lack of knowledge.

So although you make incorrect assumptions you are still prepared to slag people off. And no I am not a liar who is deliberately obscuring elements of my scenario to avoid detection, as you so wrongly assume.

I thought it would be quite logical for someone who is owed money by BC, who has assisted the SFO, who is a sworn enemy of Bryers & co and who still wishes to carry on a business in New Zealand in the future, not to reveal one's name. Surely you can see that.

I'm new to this thread but agree you should never reveal your identity if you ever want to work in NZ again. Pinching and releasing confidential material gleaned as a consultant/contractor is a real no no. I also think the Lady doth protest too much (and no you do not to post a reply stating that you are in fact a man and not a Lady).

What a drop kick hehehehehehe

If you were a little more intelligent Ex BC fooly von stooly then you would have used your stolen information and secrets to avoid being burned. I would never use such a dumbass to consult in my business, but then again we don't rip people off so you wouldn't have the right skill sets.

No it was Michael Reeves.

Not too bright as FCUK is actually an acronym for FRENCH CONNECTION UK.

With Bruers in charge and hiring consultants like this no wonder BC collapsed.
