- 4 - The principals and apparent owners of Bigelow Charter and the individual promoters of the trust schemes sold by Bigelow Charter were Loren and Bonnie Troescher. Upon formation of Zero Gee, Bigelow Charter became the corporate trustee of Zero Gee, with Loren and Bonnie Troescher acting on behalf of Bigelow Charter. In connection with the above transfer to Zero Gee of LPS, petitioner did not consult with an accountant or an attorney. Petitioner paid Bigelow Charter approximately $30,000 for the documents and other assistance Bigelow Charter provided in organizing the Zero Gee trust. On May 26, 1993, petitioner purportedly transferred his 100- percent beneficial or ownership interest in the Zero Gee trust to a British West Indies corporation named International Palm. The documentation and evidence in the record does not establish any consideration or legitimate reason for this transfer to International Palm. On October 10, 1994, International Palm purportedly transferred its alleged 100-percent beneficial or ownership interest in the Zero Gee trust to Universal Sun, also a British West Indies corporation. Evidence in the record in these cases regarding the ownership and operations of International Palm and of Universal Sun is conspicuously lacking.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Next
