Finder's keepers? Possession is 9/10th of the law? I didn't know ...?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Truth be told, if someone sells you stolen, embezzled, unlawfully converted or fraudulently obtained real or personal property (including money), you need to know and understand that this was not their property. That means they had no legal right to sell, trade, give, use damage or otherwise dispose of it.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And even if you were the innocent recipient of this property/money, it's not legally your and you don't have a legal claim or right to possess it either.
In fact, unless you work out some type of agreement with the person or entity having lawful ownership or control of this property, you'll likely have to return it!
Moreover, if you knew or had reasonable cause to believe the property did not belong to the person you got it from, you could be sued or criminally charged.
And if or when the rightful owner requests it be returned, your refusal to comply could also result in litigation.
So what are your options if you voluntarily or are legally compelled to give up and return this property to the rightful owner?
1. You can demand immediate reimbursement and compensation for any related damages from the person or entity from whom you received the embezzled, or fraudulently obtained property; or
2. You can seek civil and/or criminal prosecution to recovery whatever money you may have paid, the property you lost, and/or be compensated for any other related damages.

How does this apply to Theresa Keeping, Dale Merkel and the people who sold to them, and gave up possession, ownership and control of their property or business interest?
As you may also be aware, another civil action is contemplated which, upon information and belief and, in addition to the above existing charges, is expected to include embezzlement and conversion claims regarding the $1.4+ million dollars which was capitalization funds that Keeping paid WishCruise Pirate Adventures, Ltd. (WCPA).
This money was payment was the legal consideration for Keeping becoming President, Dale Merkel becoming Vice-President, and for Keeping acquiring a 49% WCPA partner/revenue-sharing interest.

Moreover, this money was purportedly deposited into a "trust/holding
company account" on WCPA's behalf at the Main Street branch of the Royal Bank of
Canada in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Witness testimony, bank, e-mail
and other records will establish:
a) this money was for the exclusive purpose of funding WCPA start-up/operating capital, and the $1.3MM construction cost of the "pirate ship" that was to be used by WishCruise Navy to provide celebrity co-captained Pirate Adventure WishCruise experiences for children suffering with a life-threatening illness; and
b) By Keeping or at Keeping's direction and control, this money was fraudulently removed from the Royal Bank of Canada on or about February, 25, 2013, and thereafter used to purchase a building and a business in Newfoundland and Labrador, and to acquire a stock interest and executive positions in the purchased business.
The prior owners of the building and business that were purchased with WCPA capitalization funds have been contacted and invited to contact me to discuss the return of WCPA funds, or come to some mutually beneficial agreement.

In the Court of Public Opinion Blog, many "jurors" took the time to contact me and share their opinions about the Keeping/Merkel saga. I asked most of these people to choose a single word they would used to describe what Keeping/Merkel did to WishCrusie Navy and it's childrens "wish" program.
