If you do not investigate the case and assist in recovering stolen equipment which we know where it is, the FCC may then contact you further. This is an important matter. Imagine if people who hate cell phone towers bulldozed them and were unafraid of prosecution. Well, that's the same as destroying an FCC licensed satellite uplink. I have included the e-mail and FCC enforcement actions. If you ignore me your agency will be contacted by Washington.

CHARLES HARDER 571 NW. McClurg Court SP 46 O13 White Springs, FL 32096 FCC Mail Room 386 397-4489 charder©windstream.net FBI Duty Agent 6061 Gate Parkway June 29, 2013 Jacksonville, Florida 32202 RE: Violation of my civil rights, Grand Theft across state lines, Fraud and Elder Abuse Dear friends: Your letter to me crossed in the mail as I sent you more details. An e - mail is attached where Jack Munchen an enrolled IRS agent warns Potts that equipment at our FCC licensed TV Network site is under IRS lien. Potts steals the gear anyhow. The Sheriff and FDLE are not interested in Federal laws, the FBI is the correct venue I am told. In the past when on network radio I assisted the US District Attorneys and FBI in bringing down the D'Angelis Brothers in Chicago and Sonny Bloch in St. Petersburg who stole millions from senior victims. It seems to me that my case should be investigated for previous and current information presented prior and herein. The FDLE's Investigator Lycett in Tallahassee advised they told Sheriff Mark Hunter to prosecute but he declined saying he didn't understand the matter. With IRS, FCC laws broken, fraud, moving stolen goods across state lines and grand theft, fraud Elder Abuse and denial of my civil rights under US code title 42 sec. 1983 the FBI should get involved. This case is also In US Federal Court in Jacksonville but I cannot afford counsel since being robbed and am pro se. It is a terrible matter to be denied justice after my past work as a

consumer watchdog. A brochure enclosed tells of some of my past activities for the public good. Now, I ask the FBI for justice. Respectfully submitted, Charles Harder P.S. Note my work to protect the US power grid from EMP or solar Flare and devices and technology we invented to protect transformers And th grid and gave it away for free to the US EMPCOMMISSION and 25,000 more downloads to grid operators around the world plus Siemens and Brown-Bovari and GE among many.

ecW 6 !i11 FCC MaU HôOm Regarding: Charles Harder and Dianne Mayfield - Harder $260,000 theft Victims This is the timeline from 2004 to present day in order to assist your investigation and other materials are attached. Since May of 20121 have spent weeks trying to get law enforcement to assist us. I have met with nothing but stone walls and deceit. Therefore I filed a civil rights case in Jacksonville federal court against Sheriff Mark Hunter, investigator Debbie Marsalak, and Columbia County Florida for employing law enforcement people that refuse to enforce and uphold Florida law. Specifically the laws broken were: Grand theft, Elder Abuse, and Fraud Given to the investigator and the Sheriff was a long list of certified documents and witness letters including a media Bureau chief of the Federal Communications Commission in Washington DC. Sheriff Hunter and his staff shrugged off all sworn statements and witness reports including an enrolled IRS agent and refused to investigate or prosecute the crime. After spending weeks trying to talk to other law authorities in Florida I tired of all the stone walls and endless reference to different phone numbers and had to file a US federal case against Sheriff Mark Hunter, as noted above. The case is based on denial of my civil rights under US code title 42 1983. The case number is 3:12-cv -00799- TJC-J BT

Aside from attachments I will give you a timeline of all activities that may be part of the investigation. About 10 years ago I started a company called Signal Hill Trading Company. That company was set up to design and manufacture electronic devices overseas. I designed and had 10,000 small all band radios made. The company sold about 6000, and In about 2006 the company was dissolved and all debts paid including the IRS and the remaining 3000 radios belong to my wife and I. From time to time we sell a few at $20 each to supplement our Social Security. Also at that time I applied for a KU band satellite uplink and the license is in the name of Signal Hill Trading and Charles Harder. After the company was closed I then registered the fictitious name of Signal Hill Trading with the state of Florida. There were no other investors or owners. In 2004 with the FCC license in place our nonprofit company People's Network Inc. provided the funding to build a complete TV network on land that my wife and I own and we charged no rent. The site is known as a teleport. One of the reasons that we live in this area is that It is one of 22 areas that the FCC designates as a horizon to horizon teleport area for all satellite signals. The TV network went on the air in April of 2004 and turned off in 2005 due to improper bandwidth, I then mothballed the facility until we could raise further funds and a better time to launch arrived. Just recently the FCC changed the rules for all local TV stations and converted

them to HD on their new channel 1 and then gave them four more channels that regular TV can be placed on At our last study there are 8700 empty channels and my plan was to put up a network for seniors, the handicapped and shut-ins We have allied ourselves with an organization in Kentucky that will provide handicapped people anything they need to become productive at no charger I placed a small ad in the Wall Street Journal in 2004 and received 150 replies. One man a Mr. Greg Potts kept coming and visiting wanting to become Involved. Mr. Potts promised to raise $500,000 to allow us to launch the TV network. About August of 2011 as I am in a wheelchair I had acquired a number of free airline tickets. in order to give them to Mr. Potts I had to sign a one page document and have it notarized and faxed it back to the airlines and also faxed a copy to Mr. Potts who at the time was in Chicago. In October of 2011 Mr. Potts came to Florida and resided in a guest suite in one of our homes from prior to that time to late March of 2012. In October of 2011 we found that a Winnebago RV that had held the transmission equipment had sprung a peak and was moldy and the equipment was removed and Mr. Potts found a good condition office trailer for $4000 bought it with his own funds and had moved and set up on our property. The total cost was $4000 +2600 to set up the trailer and made it ready. In October 2011 I assembled a crew of engineers to assist us in rebuilding the transmission room and getting the satellite uplink dishes pointed at galaxy 19 and ready to go. One of the

engineers donated his time and he is Charles Miller Bureau chief of the media Bureau at the Federal Communications Commission in Washington lie calls himself Norm and flew down from Washington and spent three days helping us rebuild the transmission room. When the network was ready to go, my wife invested $50,000 of her life savings so that Greg Potts could wire money to lntelsat in order to get the TV network up on galaxy 19. Mr. Potts with that money paid himself back the sum of $9000 for the trailer and set up including extra funds for his own use. Instead of wiring money to INTELSAT he began to use the funds for his own purposes. At our bank is a forensic accountant who after 30 days called me and warned me that my wife and I were being swindled. She explained how Mr. Potts had hidden transactions so that he could take money and pay his personal bills such as child support or alimony and apartment rents back in Chicago. By the time we found out that he was embezzling there was only $8000 left in the account. Obviously the TV network never went on the air and Mr. Potts had endless excuses as to why and had a Associate by the name of Rick who then convinced us that he could get us on ROKUJI That did not happen and although I put over $16,000 into the account it just went away. When I found out there was no progress I withdrew $5500 of my money and told Mr. Potts that he and his associates failed. I am in a wheelchair and one day at 3 AM Mr. Potts came up to me in my chair with clenched fists and

threatened to hurt me. He only backed off after I folded the blanket back over my legs showing a 38 pistol. I then asked him to leave my home Shortly thereafter he and his associates stole 3000 of the remaining radios my wife and I owned from the storeroom at our home and also dismantled and stole about $150,000 of critical equipment in the transmission room that had just been rebuilt. He moved the radios and the equipment to Lake City Florida mini-storage on route 90 under only his name Greg Potts I have spent months with lawyers and a never ending chain of referrals from one law enforcement agency to another with no action ever taken. I hired attorney Lloyd Peterson of Lake City to file a writ of replevin while I also composed and filed the federal suit. I have now a book of phone numbers where I have called offices of the state attorney I've also written and faxed the Florida Atty. Gen. and I get no response from anyone. Then finally a man from the Lake City office told me to contact the FDLE in Tallahassee therefore this document is being mailed to you with other attachments. It should be noted here that Greg Potts formed a Florida Corporation called Workingstar, Inc Mr. Potts told workers interested in joining the company that only 100 shares of stock had been issued therefore if they work for free and got a share of stock it was of value so he told them. My wife invested $50,000 of her life savings for which Mr. Potts gave her five shares of stock. Later

after I did research I found that Mr. Potts had actually authorized 10 million shares which therefore made the shares that he authorized and issued to people who trusted him thinking they had shares of only 100 - and the shares were worthless. They later found out after Mr. Potts stole our equipment and money that the shares were indeed worthless. Although my old company Signal Hill Trading was dissolved in 2006 Mr. Potts without my knowledge or permission decided to reinstate the defunct Signal Hill Trading apparently so he could make some kind of claim of ownership of the 3000 radios that he stole. He may also have thought that it gave him some sort of control over the FCC license however the FCC is aware of his attempted actions. Mr. Potts is represented by the Robinson law firm In Lake City and I learned from our bank that he wrote them a bad check of $2500 for their representation and when he wrote the bad check he was well aware that there were no funds in the account. Therefore here is a man who does not care who he hurts or moves to swindle or who he would steals from. The term in a dictionary for a person with those attributes is a sociopath. He does not Care who he hurts. We have discovered that he has our transmission equipment, radios and other of our merchandise at Lake City Mini Storage on US Route 90 in Lake City, The satellite transmission equipment is under Federal IRS

tax lien and is designed to be in air conditioning. So far it has been over three months that the gear is in high heat and humidity This may destroy the equipment Just one item the digital encoder is worth over $20,000.00 and cannot tolerate high heat and humidity. The Columbia County Sheriff does not care. My contact information is: Charles Harder 571 NW McClurg CT White Springs, Florida 32o96 386 397-4489 Cover sheet regarding the criminal activities of Gregory Potts and explanation of how he stole over $260,000 from Mr. and Mrs. Harder who are 68 years old. Mr. Harder is in a wheelchair since 1999 and has been hospitalized 33 times and has had two heart surgeries. Mrs. Harder is also 68 and has serious health problems. I do not drive and suffer blackouts and fall and can't get Up due to bad legs. My last fall was August 5. Mr. Gregory Potts of Chicago Illinois gained the trust and confidence of the Harder's who also provided Mr. Potts with free airline tickets and allowed him to live in a guest suite in one of their houses and did not charge him a penny for room, maid service, utilities, etc. Therefore the

value of those services can be added to the $266,000 swindle that Mr. Potts engineered.
