John M Carr and the Financial Reporting Act
Porn Company Connections and Directors John M. Carr and Steve Crow
The Society’s December 2009 Newsletter (Issue 110), among other things, addressed the questions:
- Who is funding the New Zealand porn industry linked to “porn entrepreneur” and NZ “Porn King” Stephen (Steve) Peter Crow? (He is now a banned as a company director for four years – see below).
- Who is company director John Malcolm Carr an American citizen who is Principal of Carr Consulting P.A. (A Florida-based Professional Association) and who directs hardcore porn company Eden Digital Ltd and its mother company CVC Group Ltd? (Note: Steve Crow resigned as co-director of both companies on 15 May 2010, the day after he was served a 4-year banning order – see below). See photo links:

- Is there a porn money trail leading from the US to Godzone?
- Why are unsecured creditors of four failed porn companies formerly directed by Steve Crow (two are currently still in liquidation), unable to be paid money owed them?
- Why is the NZ porn industry so closely tied to John Malcolm Carr, director and owner of NZ-registered companies – Velocity Partners Ltd, First Virtual Deposit & Nominee Co. Ltd, PJ Digital Ltd and Shelf Company No 10 Ltd (The latter owns a 3 million dollar plus property at Pakiri Beach, Wellsford)?
- Why has the National Enforcement Unit of the NZ Companies Office (NEU) and the Registrar’s Office been investigating company director Steve Crow and John M Carr and the companies they direct and/or own?
- Why is the Overseas Investment Office currently investigating the purchase of a $3,000,000 “sensitive” coastal property at Pakiri Beach purchased on 4 October 2005 by the NZ registered company Shelf Company No 10 Ltd owned and directed by John M Carr CPA?
The companies schematic diagram below, updated on 25 June 2010, is based on one taken from the Society’s December 2009 Newsletter (latest high definition version is available here in PDF format). Just two days after the Dec. Newsletter was published on our website Mr John M Carr changed all four company shareholdings – at the centre of the diagram – from “Cuchara Inc” (a defunct corporation name) to “Carr Consulting P.A.” and changed the shareholder’s address from 22588 Scenic Loop Rd, San Antonio, TX 78230-2253, US to 14/31 Greenlane Road East, Remuera, Auckland 1050. Then on 20 April 2010, while under investigation by the NEU, he transferred all the shares of all four companies into his own name and recorded his “residential address” as Flat 14 Remuera Mews, 31 Greenlane East, Remuera, Auckland 1050. Checketts McKay Trustees Limited is the trustee for this property as well as 371 other properties throughout New Zealand. Charged with eight offences under the Financial Reporting Act 1993 brought against him by the Ministry of Economic Development, Mr John M Carr was summoned to appear before the Auckland District Court on 12 August 2010. Neither he nor his lawyer appeared and the case was adjourned at his lawyer’s request to 31 August. It was then adjourned again until 28 September. The case was then adjourned again and is now set down for 2.15 pm Friday 15 October 2010 in Courtroom 2. In the meantime on 2, 3 & 13 September, Mr Carr’s operations officer Deirdre Coker of Flat 14, 31 Green Lane, Remuera 1050 went on-line on the Companies Office website and changed Mr Carr’s residential address and his shareholder address where applicable, for all companies he directs and/or owns, to 289 Cornish Point Road, Cromwell 9384, New Zealand. On 13 September Mr Stuart Cairns, co-director of New Zealand Petroleum Exploration Ltd, changed Mr Carr’s residential address from the Remuera one to 289 Cromwell Point Rd, Cromwell 9384. On 14 September Mr John Frederick Commins, co-director with Mr Carr of IP Investors Ltd, did the same thing.

The hardcore pornography and prostitution industries have been linked to money laundering, tax evasion and drugs.
“Two of the most profitable racketeering activities of organized crime are drug trafficking and money laundering. Gambling, prostitution, and pornography have also been major moneymakers.”
See: http://law.jrank.org/pages/11941/Organized-Crime-Organized-crime-offenses.html
“The Internet, on the other hand, allowed anyone with an Internet connection to offer sex services almost anonymously, screen potential prostitutes/clients, and avoid law enforcement. This has led to an explosion in the sex trade that lawmakers have struggled to regulate.
“Similarly, interest in pornography made available via the Internet has caused a dramatic boom in the legal sex industry. Unfortunately, this has also created a great deal of gray market pornography / prostitution in which any person with a camera may attempt to assert that they are making a film rather than soliciting someone for prostitution, or prostitutes may claim that they are merely attempting to perform as adult models or actresses.”
See: http://www.hg.org/prostitution-law.html
The marketing of hardcore pornography and prostitution services via websites by those holding both US and New Zealand citizenship raises a number of tax issues, when such persons operate as sole directors and shareholders of companies incorporated in New Zealand as well as publicly listed and private investment companies in the US.
The Companies Act 1993 requires all directors of New Zealand companies to record their residential addresses in their Annual Returns and a failure to do so and/or to promptly update such addresses can lead to them being convicted of breaches of the Act.
Mr John Malcolm Carr records his residential address for years on his company’s annual returns as 289, Cornish Point Road, Cromwell, 9384 , New Zealand.
Is this his residential address?
It is a Bed & Breakfast Accomodation Facility in Cromwell.
