This is regarding a legal case referred to by Mark Howe on his various websites. Mark Howe makes blatantly false claims about the case.
THE SHORT STORY: Vince is a roulette system purchaser. Contrary to Mark’s false claims, Vince’s legal claim had NOTHING to do with the effectiveness of my system. Vince simply didn’t understand instructions to access my system’s software, so absurdly claimed it “didn’t exist”.Vince was extremely rude and vile in his emails to me, so I asked him to hire a mediator. That way I didn’t need to put up with his abuse. So he did, and that’s what the case was. In the mediation, he couldn’t act like a child, and I agreed to giving a refund. He never even used my system. Vince lost on all but one of his claims, so he started another case, which was completely rejected by the judge. The case was so ridiculous that I didn’t even attend, and still won. Vince got upset, so he sent a bunch of UTTER BULLSHIT to Mark Howe to post on his websites, and twist the story all he liked. Full details are below.
For almost a month after being given access to my software, Vince didn’t contact me, so I assumed he had no problems. Then he began sending me abusive emails claiming he didn’t understand the instructions. So I asked him to stop sending abusive emails and call me to resolve the issue, OR to hire a mediator. He continued to send abusive emails and refused to call me, so I insisted he hired a mediator which he eventually did.
Vince’s claims to the mediator were broad and absurd, including reimbursement for services he did not provide receipts for, and enormous fees for his “self-representation”. His main claim was he paid me for software that he believed “did not exist”.
I provided the mediation member with:
- Login access and instructions for my software (using Vince’s login)
- Statements and contact details of players that use the software (with their permission)
- Copies of all emails between Vince and myself
The mediation member clearly saw Vince’s claims were nonsense. Fortunately for Vince I was honest and explained to the mediator that Vince hadn’t actually used the software yet, and I could cancel his access anytime. So I agreed to give him a refund and considered the matter resolved. The result was formally released as a judgement, and this is what Mark Howe publishes on his website as if it were proof my technology is ineffective.
Vince didn’t accept almost all of his claims being rejected, so he initiated other precedings that failed. Shown below is the result of the latest case. I did not attend this hearing because his claims were so outrageous that I was sure his case would be rejected, which it was.
So all that happened was:
1. Vince didn’t understand the software download instructions, and sent me abusive emails.
2. I asked Vince to call me personally so I can offer support, but to not send me abusive emails OR I will only communicate with him via a mediator (VCAT)
3. Vince ignored my request. He did not call me for help, and continued to send abusive emails.
4. I asked Vince to hire the VCAT mediator, which he did.
5. In mediation, Vince was forced to speak without abuse. I explained to the mediator that Vince had not accessed the software yet, and I agreed to provide a refund.
6. The result of the case was released via a letter, and Mark published the letter and lied about what actually happened.
7. All other claims by Vince were rejected, so he attempted another case. I did not even bother to attend the hearing because I knew he had no grounds for his claims, and that his case would fail, as it did.
Vince now appears obsessed with trying to harm me. He has made threats against myself and my extended family members, and even my two of my accountants that have nothing to do with this.
False Claims About This Matter
Mark Howe published his own version of these matters. Below are a few points:
Mark’s false claim: The FBI were involved, and it was a federal case in a court of law.
The truth: It was nothing even remotely “federal”. It was a civil mediator I asked Vince to hire because I wouldn’t tolerate his unjustified abuse, and knew he’d behave himself with a mediator. Read the correspondence between Vince and I below on this page.
–
Mark’s false claim: The courts found my business address to be falsified
The truth: Complete nonsense. My company address is publicly available in the ASIC database, and this is how I was notified about the hearing.
–
Mark’s false claim: A private investigator found that I was homeless and destitute with no money, and that in the hearing I was forced to admit this. I apparently told Vince I wouldn’t refund Vince even if I could afford it. And that the police seized some of my money from roulette scams.
The truth: There is not a shred of truth to this claim.
–
Mark’s false claim: My wife was included in the claim and was liable to pay half.
The truth: The document Mark published clearly states the “second respondent”, which is my corporation. The tribunal member specifically stated Vince had no valid claims against my wife or myself. My wife didn’t attend the hearing.
–
Mark’s false claim: He is leading a case of 50 people I apparently scammed
The truth: Mark has claimed this for many years but out of over 1,000 players I have had over the years, less than 10 have ever had a problem with my technology (through their own misunderstandings). Nevertheless, if such a “class action” occurred, many of my successful players would appreciate the opportunity to provide testimonies for both my non-electronic system and roulette computers, and I would gladly demonstrate my technology to any authority.
Correspondence Between Vince and Myself
The majority of emails from Vince contain vile threats of violence against my family and I, and foul language. It is not necessary to provide them all. Below are the most relevant emails between us so you can better understand why I insisted he hired a mediator:
NOTE: Red text is from Vince, and Blue is from myself, and Grey text is comments I added. Pay particular attention to the dates as Vince sent numerous emails on the same days.

Either way I don’t care. You said I would get software and I don’t have software, just a fucking headache dealing with your fucked up website. I would strongly recommend having an independent end to end review done of your website. (Have you ever been in someone’s house that really stinks but they don’t think it stinks because they’re so used to it). Need to hear from you asap.
NOTE: Vince did not understand the instructions and abused me for his misunderstandings.

Then you have to sign up on some fucked up forum and still don’t have access to the software. Then you click to links which tell you to submit a code but you don’t have the fucking code because you don’t have access to the fucking software.holy fucking shit.who designed this process some kind of fucked up retard?

—————————– 5th April 2013 (all of below):
From: Me
To: VinceVince, after the unjustified abuse you’ve hurled at me, I would normally say I’m not dealing with you further and I’ll only communicate with you via a mediator. It is within my legal and moral rights to do this because nobody should take such abuse and threats. However, I’m asking that you call me and speak to me like a grown-up man. For my contact details, see www.genuinewinner.com/contact/ – this page also has details on the best times to call, my local time, when I’m available etc. Also see my blog for my schedule.
NOTE: When you are in contact with literally thousands of people, it is expected that sooner or later you’ll meet someone who is needlessly abusive. Nevertheless, I wanted to speak with Vince personally so he could hear my voice and understand I’m sincerely trying to help him, and there is no need for his behaviour.
From: Vince
To: MeYou think you’re gonna rip me off motherfucker with your fucking geek ass motherfucking IT fucked up website mother fucker you got another motherfucking thing coming motherfucker.I will fuck you up you fucking shit
From: Vince
To: MeOK my Australian contacts are telling me they’ll have a line on your physical location in a few days. Go ahead and try and fuck with me and see what happens you little fucking jerkoff.
From: Me
To: VinceOk, officially now I’m asking you not to contact me again unless through a mediator. Any further direct contact from you will be considered harassment and may be reported to the police.
From: Vince
To: MeYou fucking little faggot. I better have my fucking money back immediately or I’m going to send you a fucking mediator you fucking faggot and he’ll mediate your fucking head you fucking jerkoff you better start looking over your shoulder motherfucker you think your gonna rip me off you have another mother fucking thing coming mother fucker..i will make it my lifes work to fuck you up..i will fuck you up

NOTE: He is referring to the address of one of my accountants. He threatened this particular one on at least 2 occasions.
From: Vince
To: MeLike my old boss used to say when someone wants to fuck us we’re going to reach out and fuck them. Good luck motherfucker.
Vince’s abuse continued for months and he is still attempting to take me to court with absurd claims that keep getting rejected. Although I did report his behavior to the Police, for now I requested they don’t proceed unless his behavior continues.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. What about The “Official-looking Documents”?
Mark publishes a few other documents that look official. Copies are below with my comments:
a. Email from Mark Howe (using fake name) to Vince Brandt
Mark referred Vince to a “private investigator” on Craigslist. In fact the “private investigator” was Mark himself, and the below email is what he sent to Vince. Mark created the email himself while pretending to be a private investigator:
MY COMMENTS: These are the same rubbish claims Mark has made for years. There’s absolutely no truth at all to them. Mark initially claimed on his website that he hired a private investigator who found I was broke and living with my parents next to a homeless hostel. If you don’t believe he made these claims, I will gladly send you copies of his original websites. And if you really believe this utter nonsense, then God help you. Mark’s claims over the years have been absurd and wild.
b. Vince’s Email To VCAT
Below is Vince’s email to VCAT (the area in the red box).
MY COMMENTS: Vince acted as if it was matter of national security. Do you really believe he spent the entire day on the phone with the US Embassy speaking with a Congressman? Do you really believe the FBI would be interested in a civil mediation case that has no relevance to criminal law? I’m the one who asked Vince to hire VCAT because he refused to stop swearing and threatening me. And why did he did this? Because he didn’t understand basic instructions. His emails are all here for you to read.
The thing that’s “official-looking” about it is it’s marked “URGENT”. Unfortunately I meet some strange characters, and Vince appeared delusional about many things. It was only by my honesty in the VCAT hearing that he received a refund, because he never actually used my system’s software. But even after the hearing, he started other cases which were rejected without me even attending the hearing. See the document of his rejected hearing.
c. Vince’s email to the Australian Embassy in the USA
MY COMMENTS: Vince may as well emailed the President too. Remember that Vince’s claim was NOT that my roulette system didn’t work. His claim was that it “didn’t exist” (read his letter above and see for yourself). Why would he think it didn’t exist? Because he didn’t properly read the instructions. I even emailed him the LOGIN details and web address. I even showed them in the VCAT hearing and insisted we log in to show Vince had no idea. Vince also refers to the Rentech case (explained here) which he has no idea about. As for his claims about TV shows, I insisted to Vince that he have the TV show producers to contact me so I can publicly demonstrate my roulette systems and computers. It would have been a fantastic opportunity to prove a point. I often do public demonstrations, but unfortunately not yet on live TV.
Q. Is it true in the hearing, I said I was nearly broke and on “government benefits” and couldn’t afford to refund Vince?
NO. It’s a 100% absolute and typical complete fabrication – from Mark Howe.
For some reason, Mark has made such claims about me for years. I assume the thought of me being successful upsets him. Mark’s original claim was that I was “so poor that I lived in a cheap area, next to a homeless hostel, with my parents”.
The fact is I’m quite wealthy. And I haven’t lived with my parents for decades.
Also, my parents live in a very wealthy area. All properties in their estate are over 1 acre, in one of Melbourne’s most expensive suburbs. They’re all worth at least $1.6M each. Here’s the property just behind my parent’s house, worth about $3.6M:
But Vince wasn’t too bright, and actually believed Mark Howe’s atrocious lies. This included when Mark referred Vince to a fake private investigator on Craigslist, who Vince then hired. The investigator was Mark himself, lying his ass off. That’s the tip of the iceberg. Really, you wouldn’t believe how atrocious and sick Mark’s behavior is. But I’m trying to keep this website focused on important points.
