  3. Hi!

    Regarding Michael Brudvold Jensen. I did some due diligence on him a couple of years back that may be of interest. Some information may of course be outdated, but the historical information should med ok… If you really ARE interested in the TRUTH=FACTS, and not just the tabloid-effect of claiming that Bobby Jensen has bancrupted several companies, this imformaton will be of interest to you.

    To those it may concern.

    I have done some investigation on Michael Brudevold Jensen and GroobLi.
    I have done my investigation by buying reports from The Central Business Register ( http://www.cvr.dk/ ) and extracting dates and figures from them. This means that my information originates from the Danish authorities, and is beyond questioning (apart from any typo I may have made). The reports are accessible to the public and each report costs DKR 32,- equivalent to approximately 5 Euro.

    Please bare in mind that I am not making any conclusions as to the intent of http://www.GroobLi.com or the GroobLi-concept it self. It must be up to each person to decide on their own belief in the GroobLi-concept.

    There are a lot of half-truths and misinformation on the Internet regarding GroobLi and Michael Brudevold Jensens previous Business ventures, portraying him as a scam artist having several bankruptcies on his conscience.
    The truth is however, that non of the companies mentioned on various websites and/or discussion forums has gone bankrupt with Michael Brudevold Jensen as CEO or even in the management.

    These are the FACST:

    K.T. Marketing:

    24-09-1997 – Sci-Fi ApS is founded by Michael Brudevold Jensen & Jesper Pedersen.
    09-09-1999 – Jesper Pedersen leaves the management.
    14-02-2001 – Name changes to MICHAEL HANSEN HOLDING ApS.
    01-01-2002 – Management replacement to Kim-Adler Thorsted (probably sold)
    18-01-2002 – Name change to KTG INVEST ApS
    15-03-2002 – Name change to
    05-07-2002 – Company is filed for bankruptcy.
    12-07-2002 – Name change to K.T. MARKETING ApS
    07-10-2003 – Bankruptcy.

    Conclusion (K.T. Marketing): Michael Brudevold Jensen has never owned the company while it was called K.T. Marketing. He was not involved with the company that later was renamed to K.T. Marketing for more than 7 months prior to the date where it was filed for bankruptcy.

    GLOBAL COMMUNICATION NETWORK

    01-08-2000 – Founded by several founders, amongst Michael Brudevold Jensen. Michael Brudevold Jensen joins the board.
    23-10-2001 – Management replacement to Klaus Friis Nielsen. Michael Brudevold Jensen resigns from the board.
    23-04-2003 – Management resignation.
    02-07-2003 – Forced disintegration.
    22-07-2003 – Company is filed for bankruptcy.
    10-01-2005 – Bankruptcy.
     
    Conclusion (Global Communications Network): Michael Brudevold Jensen was not involved with the company for more than 20 months prior to management resignation and later the file for bankruptcy.

    WORLD OF WINE

    01-05-2001 – WORLD OF WINE ApS is Founded by Torben Malmros and MICHAEL HANSEN HOLDING ApS.
    15-02-2002 – Torben Malmros leaves the management.
    06-09-2002 – Management change to Preben Lind. An A/S (Inc.) is formed. Michael Brudevold Jensen joins the board.
    14-10-2002 – Name change to WORLD OF CONCEPTS A/S
    03-07-2003 – Name change to WORLD OF WINE A/S
    09-09-2003 – Management resignation.
    08-12-2003 – Forced disintegration. Board resignation.
    18-12-2003 – Company is filed for bankruptcy.
    26-05-2004 – Bankruptcy.

    Conclusion (World Of Wine): Michael Brudevold Jensen was not in the management, but a common board member for more than 12 months prior to the disintegration and later file for bankruptcy.

    MR. TACO

    15-07-1997 – Founded by Michael Brudevold Jensen and Robert John Borrell.

    Conclusion (Mr. Taco): The company is still active and according to the Dansih authorities there is “Ingen verserende sager” meaning that the authorities has no claims against the company. Apparently the company is running with nothing to question.

    GroobLi Danmark:

    01-01-2005 – Aps KBUS 17 NR. 3923 is founded by Aps KBUS 38 NR. 3117. Management is Kim Madsen.
    10-05-2005 – Name change to GROOBLI DANMARK ApS. Management change to Henrik Daugbjerg Jensen.
    01-10-2005 – Management change to Christian Ellentoft Christensen.
    23-01-2006 – Company is filed for bankruptcy.
     
    Conclusion (GroobLi Danmark): Michael Brudevold Jensen has never been CEO of this company. However he does not deny his involvement with the company.

    The explanation (as I recall it): GroobLi Danmark was founded in order to undertake the development of the GroobLi website launched on the 15th. of June 2005. According to the GroobLi management the site was never completed satisfactory and the development was moved to Berlin. In order to anticipate any economical claims (from anybody) when GroobLi becomes big business it was a corporate decision to let GroobLi Danmark go bankrupt. According to the trustee handling the case (solicitor: Ole Clausen from Kolding – Denmark), there is nothing unusual in this procedure and according to the information he is in possession of, no criminal conduct has been made with GroobLi Danmark. I have gained access to the official court documents (all of them) and the case is as plain as they come.
     
    Droobli in Delaware: “Droobli.com LLC” was registered on the 04th of May 2006 in the state of Delaware under # 4153725 and has “GOOD STANDING” with the Delaware authorities.
    Previously the GroobLi mother company was called Trading Values LDT and was registered on the 07th of July 2003 in the state of Delaware under # 3673344.

    What you choose to conclude from these figures is up to you. But always do your self the simple favour of NOT believing everything you read on the Internet.
    Just because the same 40-50 anonymous people are distributing the same 8-10 pieces of misinformation amongst them selves on several mail forums and websites does not make the information true in the end.
    Always investigate the source of the information thoroughly before jumping to any conclusions. The truth is out there, you just have to look hard enough. Anonymous sources are never a good place to get the truth. Authorities are, however it may be hard to find, it may be in a language you do not understand, and it may cost you a bit of cash. But at least the information is valid, and if you really ARE seeking the truth then that must be what really count.

  4. Hi Morten, I appreciate the new information.

    Anonymous sources are never a good place to get the truth.

    It seems to me that the main source of the information was the same as yours, the CVR, which is not an anonymous source.

    I also do not see the relevance of whether Bobby Jensen was the CEO or not. Do companies routinely rotate CEOs every 4 months and then declare bankruptcy?

  5. That just proves he’s smart enough to sell the companies before they go bust.

    Make the money and leave someone else holding the bag.

    Scam artist of the highest degree.

  6. The conclusion is that Bobby Jensen “did not” in fact bankrupt any of the companies that you claim he “did” bankrupt. I don’t think that being involved in companies that have bankrupted once you were no longer involved in them classifies you as a “scam artist” as have called Bobby Jensen.

    Your quote from the “Tenderfoot” answers. – “…but they have a terrible image problem with so many scam artists being associated with GroobLi.”

    You say, “I also do not see the relevance of whether Bobby Jensen was the CEO or not. Do companies routinely rotate CEOs every 4 months and then declare bankruptcy?” It almost seems like you’d rather not deal with the research.

    In one case, Mr Taco, it seems that the company is running to this day without question. I’ll have to recheck that on later on CVR but the site is being updated right now.

    In the case of KT Marketing it looks like years between MH’s involvement and bankruptcy of the company.

    With GLOBAL COMMUNICATION NETWORK more than 20 months went by without MH’s involvement before bankruptcy.

    With WORLD OF WINE almost 5 months went by between board resignation and bankruptcy.

    As for Droobli Danmark the explanation here is the same as I was told when I inquired about it, which is totally plausible and verifiable.

    So the relevance of whether Bobby Jensen was CEO or not is that you state that he is a scam artist who has bankrupted companies.

    And I’m not that familiar with a corporate structure bankruptcy, but I doubt that the CEO could do it alone either.
    So Bobby Jensen being neither in the management or CEO is completely relevant.

    Your quote from the “Tenderfoot” answers. – “The great thing about the whole situation is that Bobby Jensen thought there was no way to verify whether he had actually declared bankruptcy or not in the past, so he falsely claimed he hadn’t.” Here you resort to reading Bobby Jensen’s mind by saying that “he thought” there was no way to verify… so he falsely claimed he hadn’t.

    Nobody, including Bobby Jensen, is foolish enough to believe that public records could not be accessed. That alone makes your statement here ludicrous.

    It seems to me like when ever you are finally confronted with something you can’t explain you answer the question with a question that isn’t relevant, like, “Do companies routinely rotate CEOs every 4 months and then declare bankruptcy?”

    Furthermore, if CEOs are being rotated that often, it looks rather suspicious, as though they are trying to diffuse responsibility for the bankruptcies. Any one of them can say, “oh, I wasn’t CEO when the company went bankrupt”, or, “I inherited an insolvent company”.

    Make of it what you will, but Bobby Jensen knew better than to simply state that he didn’t bankrupt any companies. That may be the truth, but it’s not the whole truth.

    You are trying to imply wrong doing with information that is inaccurate to begin with. I don’t see “all” of these companies rotating CEOs and then declaring bankruptcy.

    Whether they eventually filed bankruptcy or not does not reflect on Bobby Jensen unless he was running the ship at the time.

    And BTW, I’m not trying to defend Bobby Jensen. I don’t know the guy from Adam. But I do have interest in Droobli. And if this is the information that you use to make a case against Droobli your case is beyond weak.

    This isn’t the only article we’ve posted on GroobLi, and it isn’t the only relevant information on GroobLi.
    GroobLi’s executive officers (not Bobby Jensen), have dirtier track records.

    The fact that GroobLi has not publicly addressed the claims (and in fact, hid the false and misleading assertions, such as claiming GroobLi is not a lottery) gave us no reason to investigate further.

    You don’t have a case at all. You have a gut feeling that this may be a scam and a bunch of information that you can twist to help suggest it. Beyond that I don’t see where you’ve proved “anything”. So please tell me, what’s the real agenda here?

  7. The conclusion is that Bobby Jensen “did not” in fact bankrupt any of the companies that you claim he “did” bankrupt. I don’t think that being involved in companies that have bankrupted once you were no longer involved in them classifies you as a “scam artist” as have called Bobby Jensen.

    According to Morten’s records, Bobby Jensen was an executive officer or board member in some of these companies.

    Your quote from the “Tenderfoot” answers. – “…but they have a terrible image problem with so many scam artists being associated with GroobLi.”

    That’s right. Who else is involved with GroobLi?

    You say, “I also do not see the relevance of whether Bobby Jensen was the CEO or not. Do companies routinely rotate CEOs every 4 months and then declare bankruptcy?” It almost seems like you’d rather not deal with the research.

    It’s a rhetorical question. Should I translate?

    In one case, Mr Taco, it seems that the company is running to this day without question. I’ll have to recheck that on later on CVR but the site is being updated right now.

    That appears to be the case. Good.

    In the case of KT Marketing it looks like years between MH’s involvement and bankruptcy of the company.

    With GLOBAL COMMUNICATION NETWORK more than 20 months went by without MH’s involvement before bankruptcy.

    With WORLD OF WINE almost 5 months went by between board resignation and bankruptcy.

    As for Droobli Danmark the explanation here is the same as I was told when I inquired about it, which is totally plausible and verifiable.

    So the relevance of whether Bobby Jensen was CEO or not is that you state that he is a scam artist who has bankrupted companies.

    I didn’t state he is a scam artist; however I did state he bankrupted companies. Perhaps you are not aware of this, but bankruptcy is not a decision made by just one person, since it affects executive officers and major shareholders. And in companies as tiny as GroobLi it is almost inconceivable that the person registered as CEO did not consult with others. Obviously Bobby Jensen knew about it or he wouldn’t have founded the German site.

    And I’m not that familiar with a corporate structure bankruptcy, but I doubt that the CEO could do it alone either.

    We agree.

    So Bobby Jensen being neither in the management or CEO is completely relevant.

    That wasn’t my claim.

    Your quote from the “Tenderfoot” answers. – “The great thing about the whole situation is that Bobby Jensen thought there was no way to verify whether he had actually declared bankruptcy or not in the past, so he falsely claimed he hadn’t.”

    Here you resort to reading Bobby Jensen’s mind by saying that “he thought” there was no way to verify… so he falsely claimed he hadn’t.

    How would Bobby Jensen explain his misleading statement?

    “I didn’t personally sign for the bankruptcies, but I was an executive officer in all of them.”?

    There may be a subtle distinction, but it is fairly important. Don’t you think he should have clarified?

    Nobody, including Bobby Jensen, is foolish enough to believe that public records could not be accessed. That alone makes your statement here ludicrous.

    Maybe he didn’t expect them to be easily available; after all, you’d need to understand some Danish.

    It seems to me like when ever you are finally confronted with something you can’t explain you answer the question with a question that isn’t relevant, like, “Do companies routinely rotate CEOs every 4 months and then declare bankruptcy?”

    That’s perfectly relevant. If Bobby Jensen was an executive officer in these tiny companies, he naturally had some involvement or input in the bankruptcies, whether or not he was a CEO.

    Furthermore, if CEOs are being rotated that often, it looks rather suspicious, as though they are trying to diffuse responsibility for the bankruptcies. Any one of them can say, “oh, I wasn’t CEO when the company went bankrupt”, or, “I inherited an insolvent company”.

    More interestingly, 3 months before the GroobLi bankruptcy Bobby Jensen is named CEO of the German/US GroobLi.

    Make of it what you will, but Bobby Jensen knew better than to simply state that he didn’t bankrupt any companies. That may be the truth, but it’s not the whole truth.

    You are trying to imply wrong doing with information that is inaccurate to begin with. I don’t see “all” of these companies rotating CEOs and then declaring bankruptcy.

    I don’t either.

    Whether they eventually filed bankruptcy or not does not reflect on Bobby Jensen unless he was running the ship at the time.

    See my earlier responses.

    And BTW, I’m not trying to defend Bobby Jensen. I don’t know the guy from Adam. But I do have interest in Droobli. And if this is the information that you use to make a case against Droobli your case is beyond weak.

    This isn’t the only article we’ve posted on GroobLi, and it isn’t the only relevant information on GroobLi.
    GroobLi’s executive officers (not Bobby Jensen), have dirtier track records.

    The fact that GroobLi has not publicly addressed the claims (and in fact, hid the false and misleading assertions, such as claiming GroobLi is not a lottery) gave us no reason to investigate further.

    If Bobby Jensen’s half-truths inspire confidence in you

    You don’t have a case at all.

    Which case is that?

    You have a gut feeling that this may be a scam and a bunch of information that you can twist to help suggest it.

    We initially suspected it was a scam based on GroobLi’s history and deceptive business model.
    They made some changes early on to address our criticism, but then they sent out a private letter filled with half-truths and outright lies.
    If you look at the original article, you will notice that it is listed as outdated.

    Beyond that I don’t see where you’ve proved “anything”.

    What exactly is it that you want us to prove? Whether GroobLi is a shady MLM does not depend on whether Bobby Jensen personally declared bankruptcy in Denmark, there’s plenty more to look at. Our assertions are pretty consistent with the information that is available.

    So please tell me, what’s the real agenda here?

    Are you assuming there’s a fake agenda?

  8. I can barely read the previous posts without laughing my ass off. are you guys that stupid? Jensen has been involved with how many companies that went bankrupt. Do you see a pattern anywhere. To try and explain away what has happened to all those companies is just ridiculous. Is the guy just a black cloud and where ever he goes conmpnaies go out of business or maybe those companies were scams! LOL…amazing

  9. I have just come across Bobby Jensen and GroobLi.com and I was wondering what his involvement is with Kim Adler Thorsted, besides the fact that he(Kim)took over Bobby Jensens Holdings just before it went bankrupt (under the name of KT marketing). Is Kim the money launderer?

  10. Hi to all …!!!!!!! I have a question for you guys ,does anyone knows in person this Kim Adler Thorsted (the guy from Kolding DK) ? If you can help me with some information It would be realy great .I am looking forrward to hear from you (please keep it real ,just the true) my email christim123@yahoo.com.Thanks to all !

  11. I understand from what you just said on this site and others that this Kim Adler Thorsted hes some kind of a bad guy? please answer if you know him.Bye

  12. Thank you a lot for sharing!

  14. good morning, major blog on blubbery loss. this helped.

  15. Links……

    [...]Sites of interest we have a link to[...]…

  16. Can I just say what a reduction to find somebody who truly is aware of what theyre speaking about on the internet. You positively know find out how to carry a difficulty to mild and make it important. Extra folks must read this and understand this side of the story. I cant consider youre not more in style since you positively have the gift. I’ll surely come back and check for new stories! Tschau

  17. Hello there! Great post! Please inform us when I will see a follow up!

  18. Hi. Cool post. There’s an problem along with your web site in chrome, and you may want to test this… The browser will be the marketplace chief and a excellent element of folks will omit your superb writing because of this difficulty.

  19. been following your weblog for about four days now and i are actually reading and enjoy alot of one’s post, now how do i subscribe for your web site? would like to sugest some content articles to add…

  20. That is too good, once i concerns Asian countries wish it may produce a rocking spot for child.. wish that may become a reality.

  21. Thanks for the tips on credit repair on this amazing web-site. Things i would tell people will be to give up the actual mentality they can buy at this moment and pay out later. Like a society we tend to repeat this for many factors. This includes vacations, furniture, plus items we’d like. However, it is advisable to separate your wants out of the needs. While you’re working to raise your credit score you really have to make some sacrifices. For example you may shop online to economize or you can click on second hand shops instead of expensive department stores regarding clothing.

  22. I just identified your webpage from Google. It has lots of pretty interesting information. I’ll definitely be bookmarking your internet site. Anyhow, pop over to my blog if you want to give up smoking.
