In April 2014, CEO, John Trimble [prev Trimbole & nephew of Aussi Bob], moved the PPN registered office to a firm of accountants, Bryant & Bryant .
Trimble also appointed his son to the board without obtaining prior approval from the VCGLR who quickly jumped on him resulting in Michael Trimble being kicked off the PPN Board. The retrospective cancellation of Michael's appointment means that anything he signed as a PPN director is therefore null and void. As Trimble's son, Michael is also a 'related party' and cannot even sign a sheet of dunny paper if it gives an advantage to his father.
From 4 August 2014, a number of PPN shareholders advised me that they received letters from a firm called COLLINS WENTWORTH saying that they act as the Financial Advisors to G Spot Investments Pty Ltd.
I note that the Bryant & Bryant website shows COLLINS WENTWORTH as their corporate recovery merger and aquisition advisors.
The Bryant & Bryant website [http://www.bryantandbryant.com.au/] also says that Sandy Constantine is the Principal of Bryant & Bryant Chartered Accountants.
In early July 2014, the same Sandy Constantine, purchased 100% ownership of an unlisted company called G Spot Investments Pty Ltd.
A number of PPN shareholders received a letter from COLLINS WENTWORTH acting for G Spot Investments Pty Ltd. Some of these shareholders have forwarded their letter to ASIC and asked them to investigate this very dodgy and totally inadequate offer.
The shareholders were also reluctant to give their personal information such as bank details, copy of passport etc to unknown people thereby leaving themselves open to identity theft.
Anyway, here is the Collins Wentworth letter:
