grand jury,through on oraboutApril7,2014,in Palm Beach County,in the Southern
DistrictofFlorida,and elsew here,the defendants,
JOSEPH SIGNO RE ,
PAUL LEW IS SCHUMACK II,
LAURA GRANDE-SIG NO RE,and
CRAIG ALLEN HIPP,
did willfully,thatis,with the intentto furtherthe objectofthe conspiracy,and knowingly
com bine,conspire,confederate,agree and reach a tacitunderstanding with each other,
and with persons,known and unknown to the grand jury,to commitoffenses againstthe

Iocations which would earn revenues from advedising and other com m ercialactivities
installed on m anufactured VCM S,w hich would be returned to investors on a m onthly
basis.
MA NNER AND M EANS OF THE CO NSPIRACY
10.
The m annerand means by which the defendants soughtto accom plish the
objectofthe conspiracy included the following:
3
Case 9:14-cr-80081-DTKH Document 45 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/08/2014 Page 4 of 31
11.
From at Ieast as early as June 2011, defendant JOSEPH SIGNO RE
m arketed VCM S as investments from the olices ofJCS in Jupiter, FL. DefendantPAUL
LEW IS SCHUM ACK,11reached an agreem entwith JOSEPH SIG NO RE in approxim ately
Novem ber 2011 to also m arketVCMS,and SCHUMACK operated from his residences
Iocated in Highland Beach,a/k/a Boca Raton,and Delray Beach,FL.
12.
The defendants sold the VCM S as investm ents to approxim ately 1,500
investors nationwide by representing thatthe investors would own the VCM ,thatitwould
be placed in a prime Iocation and would generate advedising revenues on a m onthly
basis.
13.
To induce the investors to pay the costofthe VCM ,which ranged between
$3,000.00 and $4,500.00,the defendants made one ormore ofthe following false and
fraudulentrepresentations:
a. Investorswould purchase an actualVCM unit,typically for$3,500.00,which
would be placed into service som ewhere in the United States to be used by
the public and have enough built-in advedising and otherrevenue to suppod
the paym ents to investors. Defendants called this the ''passive program .''
b. The defendants claim ed thatthey had Iocations athotels,restaurants,
hospitals and otherpublic places atwhich to place the m anufactured VCMS
upon which advedising and othercom m ercialactivities were placed.
c. The defendants represented thatthey had com panies paying revenues for
the placementofadvedising and otherrevenue generating com m ercial
activities on the VCM S.
4
Case 9:14-cr-80081-DTKH Document 45 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/08/2014 Page 5 of 31
d. Inviduallyeverysale,investorswere promised a guaranteed $300 payment
perm onth for36 consecutive m onths,purpodedly as the investors'share of
the incom ing advedising and com m ercialrevenue stream on the VCM
.
e. lnvestorsw ere told theirunits had been builtand then provided the investors
w ith a fake serialnum berforeach ofthe units they purchased.
f. Defendants prom ised to provide m aintenance and insurance forthe VCM
units atno costto the investors.
g. Investors were som etim es told thatthey could purchase a VCM and place it
whereverthey chose and receive aIIadvertising and otherrevenue their
m achine produced. This w as referred to by the defendants as the
''aggressive program ,''butvery few ,i
fany,investors chose to take actual
delivery ofthe VCM and place itinto use them selves.
14. To convince the investors thatthe VCMS were being builtand placed at
public Iocations,defendantJOSEPH SIGNORE rented a Iuxury office and warehouse
space in Jupi
ter,FL in which to display VCM S being builtand the operations ofthe
com pany forinspection by the investors.
15.
To concealthe schem e to defraud and avoid the investors Iearning thatno
m ore than 500 VCM S were placed in Iocations and thatrevenues from advertising and
othersourceswere insufficientto paythe monthlyagreed uponearningsof$300 foreach
VCM ,the defendants caused Ponzipayments to be m ade by using new investormoney
received forthe sale ofVCMSto payexisting priorinvestorsthe $300 permonth
guaranteed paymentperVCM unit. These Ponzipayments were sentoutto investors by
5
Case 9:14-cr-80081-DTKH Document 45 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/08/2014 Page 6 of 31
use ofthe U.S.M ails. Convinced thatthe VCM S were a good investm ent, m any ofthe
investors contracted to purchase m ultiple units,with one investorbuying hundreds of
units.
16.
On occasion,investors requested to know the exactlocation ofthe VCM unit
sold to them . Defendants responded by suggesting thatthey would have to sw itch from
the 'lpassive program''(which provided a guaranteed stream of$300 monthlypayments)
to the ''aggressive program ,''and would need to take actualdelivery ofthe unit. Doing
this would involve the investorgenerating its own sources ofrevenue,m aintenance and
insurance,and foregoing the guaranteed payments.
Although the defendants represented to investors thatthousands ofVCM
units were already manufactured,shipped and placed atbusiness Iocations to collect
advedising and othercom m ercialrevenues,in truth and in factIess than approxim ately
1,000 VCM Swere m anufactured and no m ore than 500 VCM S shipped and placed in
Iocations to earn advedising and othercom m ercialactivities revenues.
18.
Using these m aterially false and fraudulentpretenses,representations and
prom ises,and others,the defendants,through JCS and TBTI,sold approxim ately 26,000
VCM S to approxim ately 1,500 investors in Florida and throughoutthe United States,
bringing in over$70,000,000.00 in revenue.
