Caldera Died in 2012 and After 2 years of Delays, Arbitrator issues a "Default" Judgement for Damages Against Caldera

November 12, 2014


Proverbs 24:16-18 says that "For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,

But the wicked stumble in time of calamity."
I was advised by Caldera that the Arbitrator issued a "default" judgment against the Company on November 10, 2014 with respect to the damages phase of the counter claims filed by Van Krikorian and Global Gold Corp ("GBGD").

Caldera has not been operating since 2012, is delisted and is technically bankrupt, with no assets and millions of dollars in current liabilities. Caldera's lawyers resigned in 2012 due to non payment and the company could not hire a lawyer to present the company and assist it in a defence  during the recent damage phase. The Arbitrator refused to allow me, Bill Mavridis, to represent the company since I am not a lawyer. This is why I refer to this ruling as a "default" judgement, Caldera did not participate because it could not afford to pay for a lawyer.  This award is an example of what happens when a company is broke/bankrupt and can't file a defence.

Caldera died in 2012, and for all these and other reasons I resigned and left Caldera.

In his ruling, the Arbitrator confirmed that I was not a party to the Arbitration and therefore did not hold me liable for any damages personally, only Caldera. But Caldera is technically bankrupt and GBGD will not be able to collect one red scent of this award.

Issues related to my actions as an individual that the Arbitrator took exception to was with respect to my personal blogs filed on this and other sites. Since I was not a party to the arbitration I could not put in a defence, but if I was allowed by the Arbitrator I would categorically state that I stand behind all my claims against Global Gold Corp ("GBGD") as posted and that they were based on my opinions with further defence based on the legal doctrine of substantial truth.

I welcome GBGD to sue me personally so the truth can be made public. I have demonstrated in my blogs that GBGD engaged in making and distributing defamatory statements in US SEC filings and media in Armenia, GBGD and Van Krikorian also engaged in extortion and blackmail by trying to put me in jail in Armenia, so as to quickly push me out of the project. I won that fight, which, to me, confirms that Van Krikorian and GBGD were engaged in fraud, corruption, extortion and blackmail against me personally.

Proverbs 24:16-18 says that "For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again,
But the wicked stumble in time of calamity"
and the Calamity for GBGD and Van Krikorian are still pending.

That calamity will come out from lawsuit filed by Consolidated Resources Armenia ("CRA") in the Royal Court of Jersey. CRA essentially made claims that they have been defrauded out $5 million equity investment in the Toukhmanuk Gold Mine for 49% interest in the Joint Venture and furthermore GBGD defaulted in approximately $2Million in notes owed to CRA. In the lawsuit, CRA is also requesting that the joint venture be dissolved since it has failed and no longer operating, and that a court ordered liquidator be appointed so that the Toukhmanuk assets be liquidated and the proceeds be split between GBGD and CRA, less damages.

Local Villagers at MELIQ, OPPOSE Global Gold Corp's gold mining project in Armenia

The TOUKHAMNUK GOLD MINE License is coming up for renewal on February 28, 2015 and Global Gold Corp (OTCmarkets:GBGD) may lose the license. Frankly they should lose the license since they have failed to meet their contractual obligations under the terms of their mining contract. GBGD, has failed to mine 153,000 tones of ore through open pit operations and 1,095,250 tones od ore through underground mining operations. In fact, according to Government of Armenia RECORDS, GBGD only mined 86,400 tones of ore from open pit operations at the Toukhmanuk gold mine between 2006 - 2012. Nowhere near the 1,259,400 tones of ore required to be mined under the terms of the mining license issued in 2006. Even the local community opposes GBGD's subsidiary, Mego-Gold, to build a third tailings dam in the area to support future plans to operate the mine exclusively as an open pit operation. They failed to follow the terms of the first mining contract and now they want to be rewarded with

GAME OVER: Van Krikorian and Global Gold Corp.

It's time to say goodbye to Global Gold Corp  (pink: GBGD) and its sketchy President,  Van Krikorian . After years of defrauding employees and suppliers in the Republic of Armenia out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, swindling joint venture partners out of over US$12MM, and partially embezzling and money laundering these proceeds, its time to say goodbye to Global Gold Corp (pink: GBGD) and its President, CEO, Chairman, Director and Corporate Counsel,  Van Krikorian . On December 4, 2017, GBGD through the fraudulent actions of its President, Mr. Van Krikorian  along with the complicit support of its Board of Directors, transferred all of GBGD's assets and claims to its officers and directors, consolidated its shares 251:1, ceased becoming a reporting issuer, and went dark, leaving behind US$20,917,023 in liabilities, broken promises. dreams and a trail of fraud. I am sure that this tale is not over.  With the assets of GBGD in the hands of Van Krikorian and

Van Krikorian's TOUKHMANUK Gold Project is BANKRUPT

While visiting the PDAC, the international mining convention in Toronto, I met representatives of the Armenian Government at the Lydian booth. It was confirmed to me that Global Gold's project in Armenia is BANKRUPT. I have always said that the 2 million ounce GOLD resource that Van Krikorian was promoting at TOUKHMANUK was a complete fraud. Global Gold Corp is now defunct and delinquent and no longer files any financial statements. Don't be fooled by the $3.00 price quote, GBGD has rolled-back its shares 251x and now has approximately 386,000 shares outstanding. The company has transferred all its assets to its officers and directors and left $20 million in debts behind. Now its flagship asset is bankrupt, leaving behind unpaid salaries and unpaid bills in Armenia.
