Class Action / Victim Liaison
This page is a coordination point for individuals and organisations who believe they have suffered financial, commercial, or reputational harm connected to projects controlled by or closely associated with Chad Eugene Willis and related entities (including, but not limited to, Plus Brand Industries Inc., Plus Brand, AGUA Plus, AGUA Plus Alkaline, and prior ventures).
It is designed to help potential claimants, legal teams, and regulators quickly understand the available material, identify whether their experience fits known patterns, and connect with others through appropriate legal channels. Submissions here link directly into the Evidence Vault (Victim Impact & Loss Summaries), Registry & Records, and Timeline of Conduct so that individual experiences can be anchored to the wider pattern.
29 May 2026 — Victim Liaison, Public-Record Verification & Complaint-Platform Update
This page has been updated to support lawful victim liaison, structured witness intake, class-action scoping, and regulator / litigation-firm review across matters involving Chad Eugene Willis, Plus Brand Industries Inc., AGUA Plus, All-Scratch!® and earlier connected ventures including World Energy Research and Bamboo Nutra / By Nature.
Recent archive actions include public-record verification requests concerning warrant, restitution, probation / absconder and enforcement-status issues linked to Oakland County Circuit Court case no. 04-197988-FH; a clarification request concerning Clark Hill / Plus Brand / All-Scratch!® patent, PCT and global-IP statements; and preservation of legal-threat correspondence, including cease-and-desist material and non-response chronology.
Public complaint-platform records now include the original Chad Eugene Willis report, the approved Chad supplemental report, the approved Martin K. McKernan report, and the approved Adam Gauer report. These reports are index points only. Affected parties should rely on underlying documents, agreements, payment records, communications and official records when preparing any legal or regulatory submission.
The liaison function is intended for:
- Individuals who provided funds, products, or services in reliance on promises of repayment, profit share, licensing revenue, or “imminent funding”.
- Suppliers, distributors, retailers, and sponsors who entered into commercial arrangements and experienced non-payment, repeated deferrals, or material misrepresentation.
- Current or former staff, contractors, or associates with first-hand knowledge of internal practices that may be relevant to regulators or class-action counsel.
- Institutional stakeholders (funds, family offices, companies) exposed through investments, notes, or high-value commercial agreements.
The archive is designed to separate individual experiences from the broader pattern. Potentially relevant cohorts include:
- World Energy Research / Guatemala / energy-project participants: individuals who provided funds or were solicited in connection with energy, hydro, dam, infrastructure, note or investment-style claims.
- Bamboo Nutra / By Nature / nutrition and supplement-era counterparties: customers, creditors, investors, suppliers or intermediaries who dealt with earlier health-product narratives.
- Plus Brand / AGUA Plus / All-Scratch!® investors and commercial counterparties: persons exposed through promissory-style agreements, licensing or revenue-share claims, fundraising narratives, product-supply commitments, sponsorships, retail channels or distribution programs.
- Intermediary / payment-channel evidence: persons who dealt primarily with associates, messengers, payment conduits, settlement intermediaries, or operational representatives rather than Willis directly.
- Professional, retail, sponsor and media stakeholders: parties whose names, platforms, professional services, distribution channels or reputations may have been used to reinforce credibility, investment reliance, or public legitimacy.
This section does not assume every person in these cohorts has the same claim. It identifies recurring categories for legal review, regulator briefing, and witness-pattern mapping.
Submissions can cover any specific, factual experience where you believe you were misled, harmed, or exposed to unacceptable risk. Examples include:
- Funds provided (directly or via intermediaries) for investment, project participation, licensing, or “bridge finance” that were not repaid as promised.
- Promissory notes, side letters, or informal agreements tied to future events (e.g. “major deal closing”, “settlement proceeds”, “roll-out in X market”) that did not materialise.
- Supply, distribution, or sponsorship deals where invoices remained unpaid, payments were repeatedly deferred, or material terms were changed without agreement.
- Use of your name, brand, reputation, or assets in ways you did not authorise or that materially differed from what you were told.
- Any interaction where you were explicitly told that regulatory, criminal-history, or prohibition issues did not exist, were expunged, were irrelevant, or were minimised in ways you later discovered may have been untrue.
- Any representation concerning patent, PCT, “global IP”, All-Scratch!® protection, celebrity / Mayweather investment or payment claims, retail distribution, sponsorship status, liquidity events, tZERO-style exit pathways, or imminent financing used to justify delay or induce reliance.
- Any legal-threat, cease-and-desist, intimidation, suppression, or reputation-management communication used to discourage lawful reporting, evidence sharing, regulator contact, media contact, or victim coordination.
Allegations should be anchored to dates, documents, and concrete events wherever possible. Opinions and feelings are understood, but documents, numbers, and timelines are what legal teams and regulators rely on.
To make your account usable for a potential class action, regulatory complaint, or coordinated legal strategy, please try to include:
- Who you dealt with: names of people and entities (companies / brands) involved.
- Approximate dates: when first contact occurred, when funds were sent, when agreements were signed, and when problems started.
- Amounts: how much money, product, or value was involved (even approximate ranges are useful).
- Key documents: contracts, term sheets, promissory notes, invoices, statements, screenshots of offers, or other written assurances.
- Key communications: brief extracts from emails, messages, or letters that clearly show promises made, explanations given, or reasons for non-payment.
- Jurisdiction: where you are based and where the deal was nominally located (country / state).
- Current status: whether you have already taken legal action, received partial payment, or lodged complaints with authorities.
You do not need to write a perfect legal summary. A clear, honest account with dates, numbers, and supporting documents is far more valuable than a polished narrative.
Preserve originals where possible. Do not alter messages, recordings, invoices, agreements, bank records, screenshots, envelopes, headers, or metadata. If you have audio or video recordings, note who was present, the approximate date, the platform used, and whether the recording was lawful in your jurisdiction.
Material submitted through this page may be used to:
- Identify overlapping fact patterns between different victims and counterparties.
- Map exposure by jurisdiction, time period, and transaction type (investments, notes, licensing, supply, sponsorship, etc.).
- Prepare structured summaries for regulators and law-enforcement agencies who request supporting evidence.
- Support legal assessment of whether one or more class actions, coordinated civil claims, creditor actions, restitution pathways, regulatory complaints, or investigative referrals are viable in relevant jurisdictions.
- Feed anonymised data into the Victim Impact & Loss Summaries group in the Evidence Vault, and, where appropriate, into the Registry & Records and Timeline of Conduct pages.
No submission on this page automatically joins you to a class action or creates any legal obligation. It simply ensures that your experience is logged and available for review by appropriate legal professionals if and when proceedings are organised.
This site is an independent archival and coordination project. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not create a lawyer–client relationship with you. Any legal steps you take should be made in consultation with qualified counsel in your jurisdiction.
Victim liaison is intended to support lawful evidence collection and professional legal review, not public pile-on activity. Do not post private documents, banking details, personal identifiers, or third-party communications publicly without legal advice. The archive can log materials confidentially and preserve them for regulators, law-enforcement, journalists, or qualified legal counsel where appropriate.
- Submissions are treated as confidential by default and used primarily in anonymised or aggregated form when preparing public materials.
- Identifying details (names, contact information, precise transaction references) are reserved for regulators, law-enforcement agencies, and legal teams who formally engage with the archive.
- Victims will not be publicly named on this site without their explicit written consent.
- Do not send passwords, full bank logins, or unnecessary copies of highly sensitive personal ID unless specifically requested by a lawyer you have engaged.
If law-enforcement or regulatory bodies directly request your materials, they may contact you via details you choose to supply (email / phone / postal address). You remain free to decide how and whether you engage with them.
To lodge your experience for inclusion in the archive and potential class-action coordination:
- Use the secure form on the Class Action / Victim Liaison page (if enabled in your region), or the encrypted contact channel on the Contact page.
- Clearly mark your message with a subject such as “Class Action – Confidential Submission”.
- Attach key documents in PDF or image form where possible, and include a brief covering summary as outlined above.
If you already have a lawyer, you may prefer to have them contact the archive directly via the Law Enforcement / Legal Contact channel to request access to relevant materials.
Regulators, law-enforcement bodies, and class-action or litigation firms seeking access to structured datasets, redacted case summaries, or supporting documentation for specific complainants can use the channels described on:
- Law Enforcement – for formal requests, subpoenas, or evidentiary coordination.
- Press Kit – for journalists and investigative outlets seeking background context.
- Evidence Vault & Source Index – for an overview of archived material categories and exhibit groups.
Where necessary, document hashes and date-stamped capture logs can be supplied to validate integrity and chain-of-custody for digital materials. The archive can also provide cohort summaries, jurisdiction maps, claimed-loss bands, transaction-type grouping, witness-contact status, and restricted-evidence indexes for professional review.
This page is a liaison and evidence-intake channel. It does not state that a class action has already been filed or that any specific law firm has accepted instructions. The current purpose is to identify affected parties, preserve evidence, organise claim categories, and make the material reviewable by qualified class-action, civil-fraud, securities, creditor, insolvency, consumer-protection or regulatory counsel.
If a sufficient claimant cohort, documentary basis, jurisdictional pathway and funding / litigation strategy are identified, a specialist firm may assess whether proceedings can be commenced in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, or another appropriate forum. Until then, all references to class-action coordination should be understood as preparatory and evidence-based.
Accuracy note: This page describes processes and categories rather than adjudicating individual disputes. Each submission remains the responsibility of the person providing it, and all parties are encouraged to seek independent legal advice before making decisions based on any material referenced here. Current active-warrant status and current restitution balance remain subject to official custodian confirmation unless and until certified records are obtained.
