These history documents are in response to letters that were sent to many of my family members in 2001 (documents below). In 2007 I compiled the true history and prove that Chris Findlater, Keith & Karen Lawton were attempting to illegally obtain ownership of my software/IP (intellectual properties) & how they committed other fraudulent activity. They also began the process of selling Netquote soon after I was forced to sell my stock (after a violent event, documents below).
NetQuote would have never existed without my FAX-ON-DEMAND/IVR invention (1989) and the website software (1st of its kind) which I began developing in 1994.
I waited until 2007 before I put a website up with this information. Why did i wait? Keith informed me that it was Chris & Karen who forced him to lie, scheme & steal from me, and that if I waited he would make things right.
Now, you're probably wondering why they haven't sued me for libel ... Read the history ...
In 2002 Keith was not keeping up to our agreement. We met at an AppleBees to discuss the issue. After we left the restaurant Keith ran me into a wall before i could get my seatbelt on. I ended up in the hospital. Very soon after Keith asks me to sell my stock. I do, because i do not want to deal with his violent temper. In Addition, Keith also assaulted Mike Donnelly who I had trained to take my place maintaining the NetQuote website. I had Mike come to work for another company I had an interest in.
(Chris Findlater receives $50 Million, Keith & Karen Lawton take $47.5 Million (some paid over time). So, Netquote sells less than 3 years later for $100 million but it was valued at just $1.2 million when i sold my stock! In most cases it takes a while to sell a company like this, about a year or more. So they may have started talking to buyers less than 2 years after i sold my stock. Update: Now it looks like they started the process of selling Netquote immediately after, or even before, i sold my stock (see below, latest findings & discoveries).
St. Charles Capital acted as financial advisor for the NetQuote sale. So, when did the people at Netquote begin relationships (business and/or personal) with the people at St. Charles Capitol, Stripes Group and Spectrum Equity Investors?
I'm looking at all the people in all of these companies from the years 2000-2006 to cross check the relationships. If anyone reading this has important info on these relationships please contact me hlawton@hotmail.com ...
These are the documents (in 2001) that Chris Findlater, Keith & Karen Lawton distributed to my family members that are full of lies, after which (2007) I responded with the above documents (history1-4.pdf's) to prove it. They never responded ... They can't because of the evidence i have contained in history1-4.pdf's. I go through every lie in history1-4 and prove its a lie.
June 2018 - I just discoverd that Keith Lawton & Chris Findlater created a new company called "Insurance Shopper Agency LLC" on Jan 24th 2003, very soon after my stock was totally paid for. Todd Chapple says he was the founder but his name was not on the Articles of Organization? This company had no activity after NetQuote sold in 2005? Was NetQuote worth much more when I sold my stock? Were they hiding the true NetQuote value and then moved that value into "Insurance Shopper Agency LLC" in 2003? Then included "Insurance Shopper Agency LLC" just before or during the netquote sale? That wouldn't surprise me due to their previous schemes & fraudulent actions ...
If anyone has information about Americus Partners LLC/St. Charles Capital LLC (Michael Carl Franson, Douglas S. Robinson, Laurie Gerstenkorn, Wesley Alan Brown, Bruce L. Hoyt, Robert Montgomery), Stripes Group, Spectrum Equity Investors as it relates to the Netquote 2005 sale, and the people involved like Cynthia Charney, Cynthia Brown, Cynthia Capozzi & Pamela Shepherd then please contact me hlawton@hotmail.com ...
