FORMAL COMPLAINT TO REGISTRAR OF COMPANIES:
RE: Company Directors David Bruce Crow and Stephen (Steve) Peter Crow
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.
Companies Act 1993 and Enforcement Issues
Potentially dangerous gaps in New Zealand’s company registration system have been revealed as an investigation continues by the Society into the operations of a number of NZ registered companies owned by a US-registered corporation, as well as the activities of its Principal and registered agent who directs the NZ companies. A NZ-based co-director of one of his other companies is also under investigation.
Carr Consulting P.A., John M. Carr CPA and his NZ Residential Addresses
Since 2006 Mr John M. Carr CPA, (see photo – http://www.carr.co.nz/images/jmc.jpg) who holds both US and NZ citizenship, has been recording his residential address on the NZ Companies Office website as 14/31 Greenlane Road, Remuera, Auckland. On 16 December 2009 he entered the same address, for the first time, as the registered office for “Carr Consulting P.A.” (Professional Association) – a Florida For Profit Corporation of which he is both Principal and registered agent. It owns four NZ registered companies he directs (Velocity Partners Ltd, First Virtual Deposit & Nominee Co. Ltd, PJ Digital Ltd and Shelf Company No. 10 Ltd), as well as one that was struck off the register in 2005 (Cromwell 24 Hr Challenge Ltd).

Liquidators receive complaints regarding Steve Crow’s Erotica Lifestyles Expo 2009 operated by Eden Digital Ltd.
The Liquidator of four companies directed by Steve Crow, Lloyd J Hayward of Meltzer Mason Heath, received complaints from creditors regarding Erotica Lifestyles Expo 2009 operated by Eden Digital Ltd, a porn company directed by Crow and US based tax consultant and property developer John Malcolm Carr. Mr Carr is Principal of Carr Consulting P.A. (Professional Association) based in the US, which owns four NZ registered companies that he directs. The Expo promoting hard core porn & sleaze was held at the ASB Auckland Showgrounds from 25-27 September 2009.
Lloyd J. Haward, in his 6 monthly Liquidator’s Report on Malibu Media (formerly Erotica Expo Ltd) dated 30/11/09 , records that the complaints from creditors were “referred to the National Enforcement Unit at the Ministry of Economic Development.” This is where the Society, which is not a creditor, has lodged its formal complains against the actions of company directors Crow and Carr.
