$354,000 Final Judgement Entered Against Scott McBride and Michele McBride for Fraud and
Aiding and Abetting; Civil RICO Claims Remain Against Scott Gallagher and TheDirectory.com
[Seek] – Witnesses Sought

Tampa, FL, September 28, 2020 --(PR.com)-- The Circuit Court has entered a $345,000 Final Judgment
against two Defendants, Scott McBride and Michele McBride, for fraudulent misrepresentation and
aiding and abetting a conspiracy to default. Allegations of Civil Racketeering “RICO” remain against
Scott Gallagher, Cheryl Gallagher and publicly traded company TheDirectory.com [Seek].

The Amended Complaint alleges: “The Gallaghers and McBride are professional con artists and
fraudsters who purposely manipulate information about publicly traded companies for their own personal
financial benefit.”

The Complaint goes on to state: “In this case, 'RICO' Defendants’ elaborate scheme utilizes an effective
form of 'pump and dump' by acquiring assets under false and fraudulent pretenses and then funneling
these 'assets' into one publicly traded company, Defendant United Consortium Limited ('UCL').
Thereafter, Defendants flood the Internet with 'Message Board Comments' and false paid advertisements
promoting the 'health' of Defendant UCL in order to drive up its stock price. At the same time,
Defendants also promote their alleged “professional accolades” in order to cast a spell of legitimacy while
carrying out their nefarious and illegal business practice of investor fraud and money laundering.”

The allegations further state: “This case involves the fraudulent acquisition of Plaintiff’s property and the
subsequent transfer of such property to Defendant UCL in furtherance of the Gallagher’s and McBride’s
latest enterprise – the intentional deceit and manipulation of publicly traded UCL securities to line their
own pockets.”

The September 22, 2020 Final Judgment states: “Plaintiff DON’T LOOK MEDIA, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability corporation, commenced this action on October 18, 2018, thereafter amending its
Complaint on April 23, 2019, asserting claims against Defendants, W. Scott McBride pursuant to Fla.
Stat. § 772.103, Florida’s Civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act 'RICO,' fraudulent
transfers pursuant to Fla. Stat. 726.105(1)(a), fraudulent misrepresentation, aiding and abetting, and civil
conspiracy, and against Michele McBride for fraudulent transfers pursuant to Fla. Stat. 726.105(1)(a), and
aiding and abetting.”

In Final Judgment, the Circuit Court determined: “After reviewing the Complaint and Plaintiff’s proof of
damages, including Plaintiff’s Affidavit of Indebtedness, and considering the arguments made at the
September 14, 2020 Hearing, the Court finds that the facts pleaded and alleged against the defaulting
Defendants W. Scott McBride and Michele McBride are legally sufficient to state claims for fraudulent
misrepresentation, aiding and abetting, and civil conspiracy.”
