Steve Crow banned as company director for four years – TV3 News
Wed, 19 May 2010 9:20 p.m. By Jono Hutchison
Kiwi porn businessman Steve Crow has been banned from holding the position of company director for the next four years. He has been served with a notice by the Ministry of Economic Development, but says it’s unfair. Crow is vowing to fight the ban.
“I got served at home on Friday night,” he told Nightline.
“I am banned for four years and it covers not just New Zealand – but New Zealand and Australia.”
The ban is under a section of the Companies Act [s. 385], which is designed to protect the public from directors with a history of unsuccessful ventures. It has been used previously against directors from failed finance companies Five Star Finance and Bridgecorp.
“Personally I don’t believe if I wasn’t Steve Crow and it wasn’t the adult industry, that it would have even raised a flag to anybody.”
Carr Consulting P.A. and offences against NZ Companies Act 1993
Commerce Minister Simon Power should discuss with officials the registration of companies with overseas directors such as John M Carr, after the recent flare up of controversy over New Zealand hardcore porn companies John Carr co- directs with “NZ Porn King” Steve Crow – which are all linked to a Florida registered professional association (P.A.) shareholder Carr Consulting P.A. Investigators should be looking at flaws in the New Zealand companies registration system that allowed a Texas-based NZ company director, John Malcolm Carr (see photo – http://www.carr.co.nz/images/jmc.jpg), with US and NZ citizenship, to falsely represent the shareholding of four NZ companies he directs (including Velocity Partners Ltd) and get away with it, using a false corporation name “Cuchara Inc” from 14 March 2000 until 16 December 2009.
