(May 2011) Voobon Ventures announces a successful judgment by the State of Georgia against an individual found guilty of publishing false and slanderous statements on http://www.complaints.com and http://www.RipOffreport.com. Voobon Ventures is currently waiting on judgments on five other individuals.

Voobon Ventures began its efforts to bring justice to the illegal publications against the company and its private employees that started in the Spring of 2011.  Voobon Ventures has been enduring attacks from individuals creating false and slanderous statements on internet media and blogging websites.  Such websites are http://www.complaintsboard.com and http://www.RipOffReport.com, which promote individuals to post statements or opinions regardless of the lack of supporting evidence or authenticity. These sites do not investigate or substantiate the claims, instead, demonstrate a disregard for fair and unbiased reporting. 

Voobon Ventures began its stand against the malicious and false statements that have been posted against the company, its executives, clients, and staff in February of 2011.  As its staff and clients continually endure these immoral and illegal statements, executives of Voobon Ventures have concluded that releasing the ‘deeper’ truth behind these statements is necessary.  “We as a company did not want to resort to directly posting such public records, but it comes a time when bullies must be punished for their actions to the fullest extent, similar to other issues this nation faces, justice must be served, and here in the United States, the law prevails over illegal, immoral, or terrorists acts,” states the CEO of Voobon Ventures, Mark Shariar.  “For Voobon Ventures, these authors of false and illegal statements are our terrorists, and justice will be served for any other offenders in such matters.”

Voobon Ventures has taken legal actions against these criminals.  Currently, Voobon is awaiting judgment against several individuals.  At this time, Voobon Ventures has prevailed in its attempt to rectify these acts of cyber bullying.  The State of Georgia has issued judgment against, Nora Murphy, one of the authors of false statements that have been published on the internet, in which the individual has been  permanently enjoined and restrained, effective immediately, from publishing any written or verbal statements of any kind regarding Mark Shariar and Voobon Ventures, Inc. or any of Voobon Ventures, Inc.’s affiliate, parents, or subsidiary companies, through any media whatsoever, including newspapers, emails, internet blogs, chat rooms, social networking sites, or otherwise, such prohibited statements including but not being limited to those pertaining to the business ethics and business practices of Mark Shariar and Voobon Ventures, Inc.  This judgment became public record on April 27, 2011 when the judgment was ordered by the Judge of Superior Court of Fulton County.   

Voobon will continue to fight for its integrity against other offenders that have committed libel in the form of cyber-bullying against the company.  As the company continues to surpass the damages from these acts, it will increase efforts towards bringing justice to the authors of illegal comments on social sites, blogs, websites, or in any other type of methods of publication.

Voobon Ventures has initiated a company wide competition for its employees.  Voobon will particiapte in the Atlanta Diabeties Awareness Walk that will take place September 24th.  Each employee will be encouraged to raise money for this event and Voobon Ventures is registered as a Company/Team participant for the event.  Our fund raising goal is set for $10,000.  

The Employee that raises the most towards this goal, will recieve a FULL paid day OFF from Voobon Ventures.  So contact Voobon Ventures Team to contibute to Diabetes Awareness and Team Voobon.  Also, Voobon Ventures will be participating in the 5K Diabetes Walk, September 24th, in Atlanta at Grant Park. You’ll see us there, look for those in the Voobon Ventures T-shirt!!
