The registrar of the New Zealand Companies Office’s National Enforcement Unit (NEU) is considering a number of charges against a company director after initially finding that an “incorrect residential address” had been provided on “the director consent form” signed by the director. The director is liable for a $5,000 fine if convicted of providing a false statement. [Read more…]
Checketts McKay Law, John M Carr, Steve Crow and Liquidated Porn
A hardcore porn company Z4K74D (In Liq) – formerly called Vixen Direct Ltd and directed by NZ “Porn King” Steve Crow owed unsecured creditors $262,528 and the IRD $163,550 when put into liquidation on 27 May 2009. It has been unable to pay unsecured creditor Checketts McKay Law of Cromwell (Alan Bevin McKay of 35 The Mall, Cromwell 9342) for legal sevices rendered. The law firm was listed by the Liquidators, Chartered Accountants Meltzer Mason Heath, as one of 50 odd unsecured creditors who would receive nothing from the failed porn company. Mr Alan McKay is currently the Attorney who acts for San Antonio Texas-based company director John M. Carr whose companies are the subject of ongoing investigations by the National Enforcement Unit (N.E.U.) of the NZ Companies Office. John Malcolm Carr (see photo links below) co-directs porn companies Eden Digital Ltd and CVC Group Ltd with Steve Crow. Among his many colourful business interests Crow owns 50% of the shares in 435 Devon Limited that owns the former troubled RSA Clubrooms in New Plymouth.

They have not supplied to the Registrar of Companies a share issue certificate signed by both directors of Eden Digital. It certainly does not appear on the Companies Office website as of 19 February 2009. The Companies Act 1993 states:
John M Carr, Cornish Point Development Limited, tax and property
John Malcolm Carr who holds both New Zealand and United States citizenship owns Cornish Point Development Limited (Co. No. 841571, Incorp. 24/02/97) which is the listed proprietor of at least seven New Zealand properties.

The tax residency status of John M Carr has become a critical issue in the ongoing investigations by various NZ agencies, as it has become clear that he is involved through his companies in major property development – a number of which are owned by a Florida-based corporation of which he is both Principal and registered agent. (One automatically has New Zealand Tax Residency status if one resides in the country for more than 183 days over any 12-month period). His Attorney, Alan Bevin McKay, of Checketts McKay Law Limited, Cromwell, was the agent who acted for him and the company he directs – Shelf Company No. 10 Ltd – in the purchase of a 3 million dollar property – 92 M Greenwood Rd, Pakiri, near Wellsford – on 4 October 2005. Another company Mr Carr directs – Kinetiq Ltd – which is owned by the Florida corporation, owns two Auckland properties, one a luxury accomodation unit on Waiheke Island.
John M Carr – His Company "Strike Bowl Queenstown Ltd" Struck off
Yesterday the Registrar of Companies struck Strike Bowl Queenstown Ltd (Co. No. 1384447) off the New Zealand Register of Companies. The IRD had lodged an objection within the 20-working day time limit following the public notification of his intention to remove it on 18 October 2007. It appears that the IRD has either succeeded in sorting out the matters of tax owed by Mr Carr’s company, or, as we suspect is more likely, has just given up pursuing the debt as the company director cannot be contacted by the National Enforcement Unit of the Companies Office at any known New Zealand address, including his so-called “residential address” 14/31 Greenlane Road, Remuera, Auckland” and the company’s “registered office” – a “virtual office” at “Unit 13, 33-35 Apollo Drive, Mairangi Bay, Auckland”. Strike Bowl Queenstown Ltd was incorporated by John Malcolm Carr on 28 Aug. 2003 and the last Annual Return he filed was dated 31 July 2006. The Society believes that the integrity of the Register and the Companies Office’s enforcement agency – the National Enforcement Unit – is open to question when false, out-of-date and misleading information is allowed to go unchecked.
