Bodyguard seeks protection |
A
bodyguard with American get-rich spruiker Robert G Allen,
and his promoter Vision Pursuit, has issued a summons
on real estate identity Neil Jenman. The summons, which
was served on Jenman last night by two police officers,
seeks to prevent Jenman coming within 500 metres of the
bodyguard or any of Vision’s spruikers and staff.
Vision Pursuit, a company once owned by HIH identity and
former spruiker Brad Cooper, brought Allen to Australia
for a series of $5000 a head seminars. Both Vision Pursuit
and Robert G Allen earned the wrath of the ACCC and ASIC
for misleading and deceptive representations over Allen’s
advertising claims.
The bodyguard,
Keith Littlewood, is a South Australian-based ‘security’
worker. In his statement attached to the summons, Littlewood
claims Jenman and a television crew harassed Robert G
Allen at Sydney’s Boulevard Hotel last week.
“Mr Allen
looked clearly distressed and concerned about the situation,”
claimed Littlewood in the statement.
The incident
Littlewood describes in the summons involves Jenman offering
Robert G Allen $1 million if Allen could create just ten
millionaires instead of the thousand millionaires Allen
had claimed he could create.
Jenman said
last night that his lawyer described the summons as “farcical”.
“This
is just another way these white collar rogues try to silence
and intimidate their critics,” Jenman said, adding
that it was a “novel approach”.
“They
want me to stay 500 metres away from their spruikers,
and that’s what I want consumers to do - stay away
from their spruikers,” Jenman said.
The lawyer
named on the summons, Steven Kaouna, refused to comment
on the matter last night.
However, when
propertyreview.com.au contacted the bodyguard late last
night in Adelaide, he said he would not be pursuing the
Court action.
“No,
it is something that happened several days ago, and it’s
all gone away as far as I am concerned. I will not be
pursuing it,” Littlewood said.
When asked
whether he was pressured by Vision or Robert G Allen into
making the complaint Littlewood said, “No comment”.
