Kevin Smith of Christchurch New Zealand will stop at nothing to rip people off. He has ripped a number of people off in the past including taking large sums of money off people by promising them shares and jobs in his businesses. Once these people realise that he has no intention of involving them in the business or ever giving them any money back and pursue getting their money back, he files for bankruptcy to avoid creditors.

He then sets up other structures to earn money from the very same business such as leasing it out to other people to run. It seems he has done this with Sharvin Lodge and earns a very nice income from it today. It is thought that he funded a great deal of the build and set up of Sharvin Lodge and possibly even part of the construction of his house on the same premises like this.

Kevin Smith promises the world to people but consistent with most self-righteous con artists he delivers only pain & sorrow. Kevin Smith is a devout Jehovahs Witness and probably believes that God sends him these people to rip off. Funny, does the bible not teach that 'though shall not steal'?

Apparently Smith is now trying to sell the whole property (House, Sharvin Lodge and land) for around $2million. If the property is sold, is this not the time to do the right thing and pay back all the people that he owes money to from this venture?! Honest people would think so.

NB ... It should be noted that the current people running Sharvin Lodge have nothing to do with Kevin Smith and his questionable ways. It is believed that they are good people and rent the premises off Smith running the business independent of him.

Not to my knowledge has he been charged. It makes it difficult when the lawyers and police are assisting him. When i told a lawyer that i was going to make a complaint because he charged me 1, 850 nz dollars for pretending to sue the lawyer that represented me in court and the next evening 2 police constables from Papanui Police Station came to my house with a search warrant to look for a sign about 3 foot square to intmidate me because i was going to make a complaint to THE CANTERBURY LAW SOCIETY and looked in our wardrobes and elsewhere knowing there wasn't one. All i got from the Director of The District Law Society of Christchurch was he said there are 9oo hundred of us and you will have to see another lawyer. Now i can see why New Zealand is such a backward country because it's because lawyers are draining the country of all it's money. My experience has told me the Christchurch Police and most lawyers and the courts are corrupt and i can prove it . Funny my dad was a Police constable for about 18 years, but that was in the thirties, forties and fifties. Police represent the shark and the lawyers are the small fish that eat the leftovers[ money] the shark provides.

Has he been charged with stealing their money? Surely he should be held accountable. Thanks for putting it out there, this guy needs to be stopped! Saw your message board, Good on you!
