Purpose of This Page
```What this page does
This page creates a structured evidence map so regulators, law enforcement, journalists, lawyers, affected parties and commercial counterparties can understand what evidence exists, what it relates to, and which materials are public, restricted, under verification or ready for export.
What this page does not do
This page is not a full public dump of private documents. It does not publish raw victim spreadsheets, private payment records, unredacted correspondence, phone numbers, addresses, signatures, bank records or confidential legal material.
Source-Status Labels
```The evidence log separates confirmed public records, filings, complaint-platform records, company-owned claims, restricted evidence and verification items.
| Status | Meaning | Use in this evidence log |
|---|---|---|
| Official record | Court, regulator, agency, registry, patent / trademark office, FOIA response or formal public record. | Highest-value source for the specific fact recorded. |
| Filed / submitted | Regulatory filing, FOIA request, complaint, legal response or notice sent by the archive. | Shows a matter has been placed before a recipient or custodian; not proof of agency finding. |
| Company-owned claim | Plus Brand / AGUA Plus / public profile / sponsored or company-controlled statement. | Evidence of what was publicly represented; requires independent verification. |
| Complaint-platform record | Ripoff Report, blog warning, affected-party report, consumer complaint or public warning. | Pattern, notice and source-index evidence; not adjudicated fact unless independently supported. |
| Under verification | Material fact requiring custodian confirmation, source response or primary-record review. | Important but not final until verified. |
| Restricted evidence held | Private emails, payment records, call records, spreadsheets, affected-party details or legal correspondence. | Held securely; not published publicly by default. |
Current Evidence Status — June 2026
```Active evidence and verification tracks
- Victim & Evidence Intake active: outreach to historical World Energy / Guatemala Hydro-related contacts has commenced, and the intake page is receiving traffic. Traffic is treated as an attention signal, not proof of formal participation.
- Oakland County Prosecutor FOIA extension: a procedural extension notice has been received concerning People v Chad Willis, Case No. 04-197988-FH. The notice is procedural, not a substantive production or denial.
- 29 May 2026 verification set: warrant-status, restitution-balance, probation / absconder / fugitive indicators and enforcement-status questions are under direct custodian review.
- Clark Hill / All-Scratch!® clarification: a clarification request has been issued concerning patent / PCT / published-status / global-IP representations.
- Legal-threat correspondence: cease-and-desist correspondence, response, follow-up delivery-status request and non-response chronology are preserved.
Current active-warrant status, current restitution balance, current enforcement status and patent / PCT / global-protection status remain subject to custodian or primary-source verification unless specifically marked confirmed.

Legal-Threat Correspondence File
```The archive preserves cease-and-desist / legal-threat correspondence received in relation to the public-record project, together with the substantive response, follow-up clarification request and non-response chronology.
- Original legal-threat correspondence: preserved with attachments, email headers and transmission / delivery information where available.
- Substantive response: preserved as evidence of correction opportunity, denial of broad allegations and request for particulars.
- Follow-up clarification: request for confirmation of asserted U.S. mail transmission and evidentiary basis for allegations.
- Current status: no substantive correction, supporting evidence, certified contradiction or follow-through litigation step has been received as of the latest update.
The legal-threat file is treated as part of the evidence chronology. It is not treated as proof that the disputed public-record material is false.
Evidence Preservation Method
```The archive uses a practical preservation approach designed for regulator, media and legal review without creating unnecessary administrative burden.
- Save the source: URL, screenshot, PDF print, email file, attachment, image or document.
- Preserve context: date accessed, visible author, platform, sender, recipient, subject line, source page, file name and short note.
- Classify the item: official record, company-owned claim, sponsored content, complaint-platform record, affected-party evidence, legal correspondence, restricted evidence or verification item.
- Restrict where needed: private identities, financial details, legal correspondence and unredacted documents are held in controlled folders.
- Use public summaries: public pages summarise the evidence and preserve the record without exposing unnecessary private data.
Where appropriate, export packs may include filenames, source URLs, dates, document descriptions, screenshots, PDFs, correspondence trails and chain-of-custody notes.

Accuracy note: This page is a recreated case-file and evidence-log index. It is designed to replace the incorrect Commercial Associations HTML that appears to have been placed on the Case Files & Evidence Log page. It separates official records, filings, public claims, complaint-platform records, restricted evidence, legal correspondence and verification issues. Current warrant status, restitution balance, enforcement status and patent / PCT / global-protection status remain subject to custodian or primary-source verification unless specifically marked confirmed.
