IRS Investigation into ACES/American Crocodile Education Sanctuary

P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }A:link { }My name is James Jensen. I am a Canadian citizen residing in Central America. I am an informant; not a person filing for Voluntary Disclosure. The information I supply here qualifies for or under the Voluntary Disclosure - Informant Award program.

 

I can be reached at:

 

ADDRESS: PO Box 33577 Dundurn Hamilton Ontario Canada L8P 4X4

TEL: 347 809 6637

FAX: 905 522 0891

EMAIL: whereisguatemala@gmail.com

 

I have read the - Voluntary Disclosure requirements and the information I provide here is true to the best of my knowledge and fits the requirements of the Voluntary Disclosure - Informant Award program.

 

The information I offer in this matter has been obtained without false pretence and delivered to me voluntarily by the parties I discuss in this document.

 

The information provided is in two streams.

 

Stream One

 

The first, and most significant stream, involves $20 million US in domestic and international transactions spanning the years 2004 to 2010.

 

Stream Two

 

The second stream involves other amounts in excess of $450,000 US, transacted until 2011.

At the end of this document I provide banking information that can be used to track both transaction streams. 

Bank accounts involved span four US states and one foreign country.

Before providing the details of these two streams, some contextual information is necessary.

 

In January 2013 a prominent US law firm's senior partner Charles Bailey of the Law Firm of Bailey and Wyant PLLC 500 Virginia St E #600  Charleston, WV 25337, United States 1 304-345-4222 made statements in a civil case affidavit that connects all parties to the facts I am about to submit.

 

In the same affidavit filing, Pocahontas County assistant prosecuting attorney Robert P. Martin, formerly a partner with Law Firm of Bailey and Wyant,  provided false information about a relationship connected to the information I provide in this document as it would relate to Robert P. Martin business and investments in the Country of Belize. Based on the information I will supply in this document and others Robert P. Martin and others he conducted business without filing under the Voluntary Disclosure Program.  

 

The civil case involves an action against an individual not directly related to the information I supply here in.  

 

The assistant prosecuting attorney Robert P. Martin and the law firm mentioned in this document at one time represented my interests in Belize. 

 

 

 

Stream One - Details

 

In 2004 a 501 (c) was formed in Mobile Alabama.  The 501 (c) operated from 2004 to 2009 and was used to support the generation and collection of donations exceeding $20 million US. The individual who operated the 501 (c) violated a number of IRS regulations. The recipient of these donations purchased 19,000 acres of land in Belize, including a resort. By 2010 the 501 (c) was dissolved.

Robert P. Martin then received his tax credit from the Alabama 501 (c) American Friends of Belize. Robert P.

Martin also had various other investments and holdings in Belize valued at more than $450,000 US, including real property and bank accounts never disclosed under Voluntary Disclosure.

A Central American community newspaper in Belize, owned by Ron and Tamara Sniffin of Laramie, Wyoming heavily promoted the activities of ACES to interest and to engage donations through The Belize Economic & Ecological Development Fund.

Ron and Tamara Sniffin have real estate holdings in Belize exceeding $1 million US and have not filed with the IRS under Voluntary Disclosure. 

 

In 2011 Robert P. Martin, then employed by the law firm of Bailey and Wyant PLLC mentioned in the earlier in this document, sold his Belize property The Pink Motel on the Island of San Pedro through a Belize real estate company owned by a French national Ruben Pierre Francois. The property The Pink Motel was sold for more than $400,000 US.

 

In order to protect his clients' investments from the IRS, the French national Ruben Pierre Francois used a US bank in Houston Texas.  The Texas account was used to wire transfer funds involved in the purchase and sale of properties in the Belize.

 

Washington Mutual failed during the 2008 economic crash. I do not understand how funds continued to be transferred.

The French national Ruben Pierre Francois used a secondary bank in New Orleans to receive and send funds on his clients' behalf, including a number of other Americans living on the Island of San Pedro in Belize. It is unlikely these clients have reported these transactions to the IRS.
