UPDATED on March 12, 2017

Stupidly, Dirk Laureyssens made accusations that we “published falsified documents” with his name on them, “to make people believe” he is “involved in tax havens in Panama”.

He could defend himself with a smarter lie, if he would have said that the person named in the presented documents is not him, but another Dirk Laureyssens. By his stupid accusations, he just recognized, he is the person mentioned in the otherwise publicly accessible Panama documents.  Thank you, Mr. Laureyssens!

If he would not have reacted, we still have enough proof that he has been connected to the  Creative City S.A. or Creative City Limited, as he has involved that Panama corporation in his famous trial versus Idea Group, Inc. and Days Off Designs, Inc., and he used Creative City to trade his copyrights, same as he used Ben Ebki, Inc. of Delaware, U.S.A.

We added more data, and we provided links to the sources, where ever it was possible, thus please feel free to check the truth of the presented facts.

If somebody would have any doubts about the truth of the data presented here about Dirk Laureyssens’ companies in tax havens as Panama, Delaware, Nevada etc., it is always possible to ask the help of the Belgian Financial Intelligence Processing Unit.

If you are a Belgian citizen, you may report the case to:

Delaware and Nevada are better tax havens than Panama

Forget Panama: it’s easier to hide your money in the US than almost anywhere

I-Graphics CVBA was established on 7/31/1990 and Happy Machines NV was established on 8/5/1991 in Belgium, and a shell company Ben Ebki Inc. was established on 9/10/1992 in Delaware tax haven of USA

A new company each year…

After two new companies established as family business, in addition to existing companies Happy CV and I Love Love Company NV (which later will be merged in Happy BVBA on 2/21/1997), why not establish another company in Delaware offshore tax haven in order to skim the copyrights profits?

A top haven for tax cheats that may surprise you: the US

Money comes in, the increased capital is divided in 10,000 shares

Capital is increased to 62,000 EUR, divided by 10,000 shares as follows:
Dirk Laureyssens 32%
Bruno-Albert Demonie 2%
Franciscus -Josephus Ennekens 1%
Patrick Willems 1%
Stuart-John Espey 32%
Jan Devos 32%

Jan Devos gets confused about the company history

Once he says the company was founded in May 2000.

In another report he remembers Happy Machines NV was founded in July 2000.

In the same interview he mentions development started in May 2000, and  Happy Machines NV was established in July 2000.

Later the Australian company 3ivx Technologies Pty. Ltd. is mentioned as founded in 1991 (!), the real year of the establishment of Happy Machines N.V.

A legend takes birth.

The technical team moves to New South Wales, Australia, and the company 3ivx Technologies Pty. Ltd. is founded not earlier than on 7/8/2003

The shareholders of Happy Machines N.V. and Pushclips Corporation meet in the new company 3ivx Technologies Pty. Ltd., but what happens with the capital already invested in Happy Machines N.V?

The fully paid 10,000 shares are divided as follows:
Dirk Laureyssens 800 shares 
Bruno-Albert Demonie 50 shares
Stuart-John Espey 4125 shares
Jan Devos 4125 shares
Chris Anton Pocock 825 shares
Janis Espey 50 shares
Patrick Willems 25 share

Short time after the establishment of 3ivx Technologies Pty. Ltd. Dirk Laureyssens’ company I-Graphics declares bankruptcy on 8/28/2003

Happy Machine N.V. gets abandoned, its director does not fill the required yearly financial statements, and finally gets struck off on 10/25/2013

Meanwhile the happy Happy Cube designer is creating new companies…

…and Mr. Stuart Espey of 3ivx does too…

Mactrix Nominees Pty Limited registered on 5/25/2007

Mactrix Development Pty Limited registered on 5/25/2007
