Four Funnels Entertainment Co. and Vintage Digital Revival LLC, by and through their vaporware product “Titanic: Honor and Glory” is guilty of knowingly and intentionally defrauding both the general public and all customers, donors, patrons, and early adopters who have contributed their time, efforts and/or money towards the non-existence PC game known as and called by “Titanic: Honor and Glory”.
Both the investors from the multiple Indiegogo crowd-funded campaigns stages that Four Funnels Entertainment Co. and Vintage Digital Revival LLC held throughout the years in many fund raising rounds and other efforts, and the general public at large in mass have been duped and misled with falsified information by the Titanic: Honor and Glory (“THG”) crew at Four Funnels Entertainment Co. and Vintage Digital Revival LLC. This includes but is not limited to material misrepresentations as to the content of the promised PC game itself, and more egregiously the intentional duplicity with regards to meeting promised milestones and deadlines. To wit: the THG crew is guilty of having perpetrated fraudulent conveyance against their crowd funded investors as well as breach of fiduciary duty by their repeated schemes and proven track record of pattern of utter and despicable deception and trickery.
Indeed, from on or about early 2012 and all the way to June 2017 and continuing to present day, Four Funnels Entertainment Co. and Vintage Digital Revival LLC, including but not limited to its core members Director Thomas Lynskey, Modeler Matthew DeWinkeleer and Programmer Kyle Hudak of the United Kingdom, having all in a continuing scheme conspired to collectively harm and defraud the general public at large and directly cheat and steal from the Indiegogo crowd-funded investors through an elaborate maze and underhanded scheme of duplicity at the highest levels, did then and there commit the criminal offenses of theft by deception, fraudulent conveyance, and breach of fiduciary duty.
The evidence proffered will show that Thomas Lynskey, Matthew DeWinkeleer, Kyle Hudak and their company Four Funnels Entertainment Co. and Vintage Digital Revival LLC did indeed openly and publicly commit the act of solicitation for investments by erecting and then maintain a method and capacity on their public website hosted on the Internet at "http://www.titanichg.com" in which they continuously sought after and accept money in exchange for a share of an investment backing in the company and the product (the PC game called “Titanic: Honor and Glory”) and also by their act of creating at least three different funding campaigns on the crowd-funding platform known as Indiegogo and they did in fact and indeed accept and collected monies from all of these campaign efforts.
As part and parcel of the “legal consideration” in exchange for the investor’s monies, the THG crew bound and obligated itself to the particular set of criteria that it had indicated it would meet based upon what it had laid out in writing when presenting these offers to the public and pitching these funding levels to prospective crowd-funding investors. More precisely, the THG crew knew they were accepting money in exchange for certain “Perks” from said investors and it was well documented and presented as such representations at the time the money changed hands. Namely, and for example, both during all of the Indiegogo campaigns and on their own public facing website, it had always been the case that they offered and accepted money for an agreement that in exchange for an investor’s investment of equal or greater than $15 USD, the crowd funded investor would be entitled to a classification known as “THE GUARANTEE GROUP”, and that as part of being in such a “Guarantee Group” these class of investors were “guaranteed” to have “Early Access” to all “Demos” of the PC game “Titanic: Honor and Glory” (TitanicHG) and furthermore it is shown that as of June 9th 2017, this level of investment is still publicly listed on their website and elsewhere as being “STATUS: STILL AVAILABLE”.
In early February of 2017 the THG crew publicly stated to all of their investors and including their Guarantee Group class of investors that they would be shortly receiving access to the promised “Early Access” to the third “Demo” of the PC game “Titanic: Honor and Glory” (TitanicHG) and that it would arrive “in a few short weeks”. Later, however, that deadline was breached and the THG crew then having already reneged on one earlier promise, made and broke another promise that the Demo 3 would be released to the backers and investors “at the beginning of the Titanic week”, which they stated would start on April 10th 2017. Complainant Chen, himself a member of the “Guarantee Group” emailed high level representatives at THG and Four Funnels Entertainment Co. and Vintage Digital Revival LLC wanting to receive written confirmation that everything was on track and that the Demo 3 would still be released on time as scheduled (or as re-scheduled)… Merely just one single hour prior to the time in which the Demo 3 of TitanicHG PC game was supposed to be released and published to backers and investors, the THG had written back to Mr. Chen in writing via E-Mail, stating that everything was still on track and that the Demo 3 would indeed be released during Titanic Week.
However, and in point of fact, at the end of Titanic Week, no Demo 3 or any other Demo of any kind whatsoever was ever released or published. Thereafter, THG crew went silent and did not give nor offer any kind of explanation as to the possible reasons why for the second time in a row they had broken their promises and reneged on their stated deadlines. These broken promises to their investors and total lack of follow up and meaningful communication, compounded by the absolute zero transparency was completely unacceptable to the investors and backers that THG was legally beholden to.
Several days later, THG then dropped hints that the Demo would likely surface “in a few more days” and likely before the end of the month of April. However, April went and soon entered May, but still no Demo in sight. On their facebook page at “https://www.facebook.com/TitanicHonorandGlory”after expressing annoyance for investors trying to hold them accountable, they had in some posts indicated that the Demo would be out sometime in “mid-May”, however that was also not the case. The entire month of May came and went without so much as the shadow of a Demo.
More recently, on or about June 2nd 2017, THG crew publicly promised yet once again that the Demo would be released “beginning next week” and again asked for investments and offered to the public any investors willing to invest at least $15 USD or more would qualify as part of the “THE GUARANTEE GROUP” to receive early access to this Demo which they had repeatedly stated at the time would be published and released to all current and future investors whom had invested $15 USD or more immediately “beginning next week”. On or about Wednesday June 7th 2017 at or around 12PM Noon Central Time the THG crew sent out a massive bulk E-Mail to all investors at the “Guarantee Group” level of funding investment and higher, stating that the Demo would be immediately released “WITHIN 12 to 24 hours”. However, like so many times before, the 12 hours came and went without anything being released, and soon the 24 hours also came and went, and still no sight of any promised Demo anywhere. Meanwhile, having cashed in and collected on all the new investors that had poured in good money in anticipation of the Demo being immediately released and thus also in anticipation of having access to it at the stated and published date and time, THG crew then at the very last possible moment after raking in as money fraud monies as possible then and only then gave another big fat finger to all their investors, both new investors and old investors, by posting that the Demo had yet once again been delayed without stated reason nor cause.
