Lawyers Lie -> Dreams Die
Every lie has an expiration date.
(Sent to Alper and Chad on Saturday February 8, 2025 at 8:56 A.M. C.S.T)
I am 55 years old and I have committed the best part of my productive adult life to ASM. The idea took root in 2000. That’s 25 years. If you both think you know more about everything than the architect, then ignore me (again) and continue to circle the drain one last time before the flush.
Rather than spending 5 years (FIVE YEARS!) on other things and waiting until the last minute to file a LATE answer which focused on blaming everything on me, leaving out the fact that YOU BOTH took these share grants yourselves (NSEI public records will prove) and ending up with a $1.8M claim (the totality of my efforts in fundraising), you could have done much better WITH THE TRUTH. To be honest, this judge was VERY KIND to us. It could have been a whole lot worse.. A LOT worse. He basically validated the future value of ASM beyond this matter and, most importantly, showed you exactly what you did wrong. Rather than heaping dirt on me, a careful accounting should have been done on the promotional expenses. We did NOT promote the share grants with that money. We promoted the platform (ASM on a billboard, right?). Direct charges for the donations/grants program should be just the cost of EMAILS ($25/mo.?) sent to ASM accountholders. I challenge you to find a single example of direct marketing or public relations that promoted the share grants. I am not an idiot. We talked about this setup being a grey area from almost day 1 (this is in YOUR SEC depositions!). Stop playing stupid lawyer games. This happened and you both know it. Do you want me to locate all the communications and post them in the public domain? Basket of goods, membership of ASM, donation from NSEI, credit from CWH.. Etc..etc.. That discussion happened.. A LOT. The “my stomach hurts” email came when the outsiders started pouring in. However, NOBODY came up with a workable funding solution, only theories of what might work. I was the one watching that cash flow moment by moment every waking hour and making the adjustments to balance the books. There are not 10 people in the world who could have done this.
I warned you about dishonesty emphatically, repeatedly and over a long period of time. Now you are basically facing the challenge of raising every dollar I personally raised under these present difficult circumstances in 3 weeks or face ruin. Well, since I am the one who kept the whole thing funded with my efforts, without a stake in the business, and got thrown to the wolves when it mattered most, this is fair play. NOBODY brought any significant funding from the outside over the entire restart period. Now, you have to do it in 21 days. Hard not to see GOD in this exactly as I said…over and over again.
If it were my decision, I would file an appeal based on the roadmap provided by the judge. He told you exactly what to do. Now before you dismiss me and go about your own way, let me remind you about “joint and several”. If you leave me out of any appeal or post-judgment action, the entire amount will continue to be owed by CWH/NSEI until paid. All my assets and income are exempt for the next 27 years. So, they will drive CWH into BK or a forced sale of assets. If that happens, you can be sure some of the shareholders will come after YOU BOTH with claims. Further, do you have every signature or help you will ever need from me? I am a very dangerous bridge to burn. See the story of Apple when they “forced out” (another lie.. Wow) Jobs in favor of Sculley. He came back in the nick of time and worked for $1/year to make Apple one of the biggest companies on earth. Learn something about the value of a founder.
YES, this tone is scolding. It should be. If the roles were reversed, you would not even be this level-headed and reasonable. I still see a future for my life’s work and the judge road mapped and validated it. Further, to just stand back and watch it be destroyed is something I just can’t do. I’ve debated on whether or not to say anything for a week and settled on stepping forward. Nobody will be able to claim I didn’t make all this crystal clear.
Once again, you get ONE LAST option to do the right thing. Frankly I am stunned at how much grace is being given here. Your call.

A New American Dream – Independence Day 2024
Time for Another Crusade – Part One
America and the world are in crisis. Look around you. Try to pretend everything is alright. Can you? I can’t. Something has gone terribly wrong, and it is getting worse. It seems to have started after the terrorist attacks in 2001, gained steam during “The Great Recession” in 2008 and hit hyperdrive with the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020.
When I was in my 20s during the 1990s, I can never remember thinking about making the rent. I lived alone in Phoenix, Arizona which was well over a million in population at that time. I was not living in the woods. Historically the two main expensive markets were Los Angeles and New York. Now, everywhere is expensive. Try to find an apartment anywhere for $1,000 per month. Everyone I know, including my own sons, MUST have at least one roommate to make the rent. The problem gets worse by the day. So, what is going on here?
First, the “expert” policymakers are making one bad decision after another. There is no real production going on anymore. The majority of the economy is just a shell game moving money around or just printing it out of thin air, like crypto. Worse, vices are being promoted like never before. Gambling is embraced and drugs are legalized. A nation of stoned gamblers trading meme coins and NFTs is a guaranteed recipe for disaster. This is not production. This is fraud on the people’s wallets and their souls.
So, what is the answer? In a word, we need new REAL production. That will not come from the old ways of manufacturing and farming. Those days are gone. The markets are a global race to the bottom, and they are not coming back. You can’t stop market forces. Policy patchwork might slow it down, but the markets always win. People vote with their money and in a capitalistic world, that is all you can rely on. There is no political solution. Forget Trump, Biden or Musk. This problem is far bigger than any one man or even group of intelligent motivated men. You can only depend on the stick and the carrot or more technically, incentives and disincentives. You must also meet people where they are in terms of access and, most importantly, their passions. People spend their time and money on what they value most. This is natural and normal. So, where is that?
The single largest identifiable market segment on Earth is… SPORTS FANS. This demographic is even greater than the male and female genders. Further sports fans are tribal, and I would offer that their passion is equal to or greater than religion. Sports are their religion. That means they focus their time, treasure and emotion on it. Can anyone doubt this? One step further, e-sports thrown in, this demographic easily runs into the billions and probably exceeds half of the entire world’s population. It will only grow. As global smartphone usage explodes by the moment, you can easily meet this demographic right where they are, staring into their little black boxes for hours every single day of the year everywhere on the planet. At this moment, it is a CONSUMPTIVE market, not a PRODUCTIVE one. That must change.
Imagine a sports fan in Congo creating a business plan for a football (soccer) league in his neighborhood and selling that idea successfully to New York Yankees fans and thousands of others all over the globe. With that same smartphone, he can even stream professional grade video to his fans, sell gear worldwide and create a perpetual income stream to keep things running. This is not about making the big leagues richer (although that will happen) or a clever way to gamble or speculate on sports. This is not a toy or a game. This is about creating real opportunity everywhere on the planet, which is bi-directional. What do you think will happen when that Congo sports entrepreneur puts up his field? Every type of LOCAL business will spring up around it ON TOP of the global internet marketplace. Just look at your local sports stadium and imagine that everywhere. Finally, sports are REAL production which are good for the pocketbook, body and soul. I would go one further and include man’s spirit, which is the MOST important thing.
Do you want to join this crusade? Just go to AllSportsMarket.com and sign up for a FREE account and trade. It will not cost you a cent now or in the future. It will not benefit me either. You can’t spend money there if you wanted to. The government is trying to make sure of that. Instead of listening to a good idea, they seem hell-bent (literally) on destroying it. If you don’t want that to happen, trade for free and spread it around. Imagine a new world of sports opportunity for yourself and others. This is a future worth fighting for.
This is not about personal ambition. I have no stake in the outcome and have not for more than a decade. This is a personal crusade now approaching a quarter century (about half) of my life. I am the principal architect, directed by the divine hand of GOD, and given a personal directive (crusade) by him IN PERSON. That true story is for another time. Stay tuned.
“The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to him. By God’s help, I aim to be that man.” – Dwight L. Moody
Amen to that.

Filling in the blanks on AllSportsMarket (ASM) and Chris Rabalais – July 17, 2023 Personal Deposition
What Does the Bible Say About Sins Of Omission And Commission? (openbible.info)
Let’s not leave things out. A half-truth is a WHOLE LIE.
June 23, 2024
The decision to separate in the SEC legal case was on my own initiative after being offered stay with ASM legal counsel as a group with NSEI and CWH. My reasoning was based purely on the illogical nature of being part of that group if I was no longer part of the company. Further, I felt it was not appropriate to have ASM take on further extortionate expense by the predator class (lawyers). Sadly, it appears that this good-faith decision is being used against me as if I acted as some rogue agent for my personal benefit. Value is being fought over which I am supposedly solely responsible for creating yet should not be paid for any of that effort. Rather I should be saddled with millions in permanent debt, left without any future income and not a single share of stock in the company or even payment for nearly a quarter century of my life. All of this came as a complete surprise but I should have expected nothing less from the skullduggery conducted in private. This is not just wrong. It is the textbook definition of EVIL.
I am particularly saddened and disappointed by the specific omission of any citations or discussion about the CWH stock grants as part of program packages. I asked on many occasions if this exact setup was found in any case law precedent or rules. The answer was repeatedly NO. This was conveniently left out of CWH/NSEI pleadings. Omissions are LIES. These discussions took place in email, company teleconferences and possibly even in person. If a SINGLE example would have been provided, stock grants would have stopped immediately. Evidence can be published and provided to the Court if necessary. Further, try to explain why the founders accepted their stock in exactly this format if it was, in fact, illegal and known to be so. Good luck.
On the issue of registration, the number of omissions/commissions is breathtaking. The reality is that the entire process of converting (for free) the Costa Rican ASMA1 shares to CWH (DE.) then again (for free) to CWH (WY.) shares caused a great deal of difficulty in hiring an attorney to get the proper answers. Again, many hours were spent in emails and conference calls discussing this issue and seeking solutions. In both cases of StartEngine and WeFunder, we sincerely thought a method had been found to accomplish this registration while simultaneously putting out a direct CWH funding round, thereby ending the stock grants. NONE of this was mentioned by the SEC or CWH/NSEI and the false narrative is being promoted that “Chris just stubbornly refused registration in spite of everyone’s protest to the contrary”. That is A LIE. If that is truly the case, then put into evidence and publish the names of those we should have hired, how much paid to them and a description of their services. This does not exist because it never happened. Each time a mention was made that SEC registration was imminent, that was because we were engaged in a process (like WeFunder and StartEngine) expected to succeed in that outcome. Unfortunately, all these efforts failed for reasons never explained to us even after asking. This kept pushing out the registration date. A very deception storyline is being promulgated here and I will not tolerate it. Any honest examination of ALL the evidence will clearly prove what is stated here is 100.0% truth. As far as the “cherry picked” email venting about hiring ANOTHER lawyer for a legal opinion, which would not be binding, to further burden our expense load I stand by completely. After paying more than $1M in legal fees since ASM began in 2003, I am speaking from experience. And guess where the funds to pay yet ANOTHER parasite lawyer was going to come from? The programs and methods being used, which contained stock grants. You can’t have it both ways.
I suppose lawyers will be lawyers. In fact, when I brought this exact matter up with Alper and Chad, the answer was basically “the lawyer made me do it”. Who is paying who here? Am I really to believe this? Either way, is no matter. It has been allowed to stand. I will now be forced to correct the record.
Since the CWH/NSEI replies were filed 2 weeks ago, ASM volume is down to a trickle. I have watched every aspect of ASM for its entire existence. I have never seen volume crash like this. The reason is simple: A civil war means ASM will die and everyone knows it. I am the heart and soul of this idea. I drafted the blueprints and Ace wrote the code. If you harm me, the game is over. ASM got ONE mulligan in 2013 to restart and that was a direct result of my prayer to GOD for a way to put things back together. GOD answered that prayer and restoration began. I will tell you categorically that GOD is watching the handling of this SEC affair with careful notice. This will not be a repeat of the backstabbing I took in the Leon debacle. If this happens again, ASM will die a permanent death and scavengers will pick up the pieces and rebuild it under another name. Even if they do a terrible job, it will still create many benefits for society and drain away victims of the gambling industry. My name will follow this idea until the end of time because I am the architect (under GOD’s direction) and inventor #1. This is an undeniable fact. Research of my name will clearly show my faith story and credit back to GOD exactly as I promised I would. Nothing can take that away. Nothing. I was never going to profit from ASM’s rebirth no matter what. My last share was donated to the company to keep it going before it was restarted.
My first move is to publish openly my July 17, 2023 deposition in the case. You will find much of what I am stating above in that deposition.

DEFENDANT CHRISTOPHER PAUL RABALAIS OPPOSITION, DECLARATIONS AND SUPPLEMENT RESPONDING TO MOTION FOR ENTRY OF FINAL JUDGMENT (ECF #66)
Only a single set of facts and circumstances exist in this matter. As such, please attach the complete corporate responses to the SEC’s motion from NSEI and CWH (ECF NO. PENDING) as fully included and incorporated herein to conserve time and resources and avoid duplication. My further personal response is below and is a continuation supplying summary additional information and outlining my personal response as an individual without counsel.
As the SEC put forth in a recent filing, I am entitled to claim that $0 is owed by me personally in this no-fault settlement in terms of disgorgement, fines, and interest. That is my position detailed below.
First and foremost, I will be speaking in plain language and not attempting to claim authorities to rules, case law or any other legal citations. Extensive personal experience and research have taught me that each side makes their claims and often the Court disregards both and cites neither using a unique set of references, claims, rules, case law, etc. I am not an attorney or a judge so I will not pretend to be either. I am also without legal assistance due to the exorbitant costs which I cannot possibly personally bear. CWH and NSEI are represented by counsel as required by law and under new management completely separate from me personally. Everything stated below is factually accurate, can be found in evidence or provided if the Court should request it. I am not “making an argument” to support a position and/or an agenda by cherry-picking and/or omitting evidence, case law, and rules. In my worldview, lies of omission are just as wrong, evil and deceptive as lies of commission. These are pure facts in totality and simple clear talk. It is also my understanding that the Court should be liberal with a pro-se litigant and offer the widest possible latitude available under the law. When an issue is on the line, it should favor the pro-se party. I will make myself available for questions in writing, appearance by phone or possibly video conference only if my available rural upstream bandwidth can support the protocol. Travel and personal appearance are completely impossible due to costs and daily familial and personal responsibilities.
Five points:
- ASM (via CWH and NSEI from 2014 forward) has never been, is not, nor ever will be for my sole personal benefit. The SEC’s claims of alter-ego and only for personal benefit are categorically false. This is very easily proven by the record and the continued operation of ASM through new leadership. Further, my personal stake dwindled to zero when I donated my last share to the CWH treasury on 1/15/12, almost 8 years before this action was even filed. I also donated the net proceeds from the sale of my Houston home in 2015 to move to California for ASM’s benefit and received nothing in return. I never had any upside potential on the success of ASM even before rebuilding began in 2013. My sole intention was to complete what was started in 2003, shipwrecked by the 2008 “Great Recession”, and to keep my word to do everything possible and finally produce a return for the stakeholders. An honest examination of ALL available evidence will clearly prove this is all absolutely true.
- Piercing the corporate veils of CWH and NSEI is inappropriate and unjust. As clearly evidenced by taking deposition testimony from company officers, I was not acting alone or as an individual for personal benefit. That says nothing of the actual content of these depositions and ALL other evidence in the record and available to the Court if requested. For example, there are hundreds of weekly recorded teleconferences with these individuals reporting progress and gathering input along with about 100 gigabytes of records spanning about 20 years. The teleconferences were also made available to anyone who wanted them and almost always broadcast to the entire ASM trader distribution list. Yet, I am named individually for personal liability? That is completely illogical, wrong, unwarranted, and unjust. The SEC recently dropped claims against corporate individuals in the high-profile XRP case, this case is very similar, and it should apply.
- There are NO unjust enrichments for me personally and it is the exact opposite. SEC was provided extensive financial records over the past few years, which were further interrogated by written and oral examination. I acted purely as a consultant without a personal stake (#1 above) for just over a living wage in the expensive Los Angeles market during the years 2014-2020. Further, I extended all my personal credit for the benefit of ASM (CWH and NSEI) because it had none of its own. As the economy started to weaken in 2019 (this was discussed on teleconferences), the balances grew and became very difficult to service. I continued to take on business expenses (via personal credit) and business travel to further ASM’s goals until finally the entire sports world shut down, due to the completely unforeseeable Coronavirus pandemic, forcing me into personal bankruptcy very early 2020. Most of the personal bankruptcy debt was ASM related, and this was reported as such in the Chapter 7 filings, which can be easily proven from the public records. About $50,000 was discharged which are direct ASM (CWH and NSEI) business expenses including payroll to others. All financial calculations must include this.
- My personal services company, Clear Vision Advisory (sole proprietorship DBA), received approximately $75,000 in Coronavirus recovery grants and benefits starting in 2020 (ASM was denied). Through major life adjustments and slashing costs, this permitted me to continue operating and managing ASM without any personal income until the company transition (just completed 1/15/24) could be worked through and finalized. This is effectively $15K per year over the period 2020-2024 and reflects the current national poverty level as officially published for one person. I will never recover the tens of thousands of hours and dollars spent over this period nor my 20+ years of commitment in total. In fact, it took away from creating another personal income stream until just recently, which I will explain in #5 below. I acknowledge the stipulated order (Docket #52) and the previous statements concern “payment” which is legally separate and distinct from “any determination” and “any assessment” covered by that stipulated order. The same elements and conditions pertain to #5 below. The word “any” can clearly mean $0.
- In early 2022, much to my surprise, I received approval (after initial rejection due to the open personal bankruptcy, then reconsidered late 2021 after discharge) from the SBA on my personal EIDL application filed early 2020 for $75,000 repaid over 30 years with a personal first-position superseding lien until repaid. Alongside the grants above in #4, I very carefully budgeted these funds to both keep ASM (CWH and NSEI) alive during this extraordinarily difficult period and to begin building another personal income before the funds ran dry. Despite voluntarily completely freezing all ASM funds intake and payments for about 4 years and counting, the ASM market still continues to average thousands of contracts per day reflecting the power of the model and obliterating claims against the validity of this 20+ year effort. Only very recently have I been able to fully focus on my continuing mission and I expect it to start bearing fruit in early 2025. From 2020 and until then, my personal income remains very near zero (outside the personal recovery funds) and this fact is reflected in personal records and tax returns (Federal and California). Once this new enterprise comes to life, it will never produce (for me personally) more than the published national poverty income for 1 person consistent with my legal Vow of Poverty, which has been filed with my tax returns and published openly for years. As explained in my personal deposition, this is my Christian mission field. Excess income (if earned) will again be donated to World Vision or another reputable registered Christian charity. My involvement in ASM (CWH, NSEI) terminated in all forms on 1/15/24 permanently and there will be no future involvement.
In conclusion, any monetary amounts whatsoever determined by this Court should be charged completely to ASM and the entities operating it. ASM and the associated companies are the only parties even possibly capable of future payment provided the terms are not financially fatal, destroying 20+ years of hard work and guaranteeing a complete and total loss for all involved including the SEC. Further, I would offer that concluding this matter without an excessive burden on ASM will produce rewards far greater for the stakeholders (and others) than could ever come from this action. Why? Because the SEC still refuses to positively commit that any recovery from this case would go back to stakeholders 100% pro-rata, the current mandate of the law (Liu). Is the mission of the SEC investor protection or agency income generation? Based on this current motion, the latter appears to be the case in seeking $4M+, which is more than DOUBLE all the intake over the period, and $0.00 guaranteed for a single stakeholder. Liu limits damages yet the most recent filing goes millions beyond the entire donation income. How does the SEC collecting and keeping all the funds benefit the stakeholders? All this cost and fruitless waste of time and treasure for all involved could have been easily avoided should the SEC have taken all our many regulatory filings (clearly evidenced in the record) seriously instead of ignoring and misrepresenting them. Lastly, there are only a few vital business processes pending preventing success, which are presently suspended due to this open case closing on 5 years. Once resolved, the 20+ years of extremely hard work and dedication will produce returns for the deserving stakeholders and the global public in general through creation of a new asset class and jobs around sports while suppressing gambling.
Therefore, Rabalais respectfully requests this Court set determination of any personal fines, disgorgement and/or interest at ZERO.
