It sounds like there are a lot of lawyers on the boards of these entities. the title "Maitre" is usually reserved in Continental Europe to :
- Attorneys (Avocats),
- Notary Public (Notaire)
- Legal adviser holding the appropriate legal qualification (maitrise en droit).
This is a usage when you refer to them either in writing (Cher Maitre, Maitre XXX, ) or speaking (Bonjour Maitre..) etc.
The term "associate" may have either of the following meaning :
- The persons mentioned under this term take an active part in the day to day management of the entities but do not have the seniority required to be "partners".A sort of emulation of the organisation of law offices.
Or :
- The term has been losely coined in a consultancy contract between the different service providers. It sounds better if the consultant can claim being an "associate" rather than a consulting person. One has to smooth the ego of the consultant sort...
In both cases it is a way to deceive the clients into thinking they are dealing with a bona fide member of the entities.
In the case of Danny the key to the answer would lie in the contract between his company, Thales, and BC...
The problem is that when you are an associate, whether it is true or not and because you hold it out, you may face some of the liability of the company.

Some of the names in the following information posted at Diligizer caught my attention. Since your name appeared in the post I was hoping you would know if the information is accurate and explain what it means to be an Associate.
Thanks,
Hunter

By: I think getting information from Underground ....
I think trying to get information from person posting as Underground at Diligizer that supports his/her claims is a lost cause. Couldn't get the source of the list of Associates of Crozier nor a link to a working site with such a list. I thought my request for information on Thales (Nevis), if there is such an entity, was a pretty simple one but even that went unanswered.
Welcome to the world of message boards where some folks seem to post pretty much anything they want,
Hunter

Mr. Renner deleted the post as the poster could not back up any of his information. Worse yet, it was full of inaccuracies and it seemed his only intention was to hurt my business.
From his posts, I understood that he spoke in name of 3 investors who were about to loose their money, but he never stated with who they invested. Was he out on revenge against any and all offshore brokers? Did he invest with someone that also uses the name Thales (he mentioned Thales Holdings Nevis) and made the wrong assumption we were the same person? I don't know. He also mentioned San Cristobal once.
I even offered to help him/them since I'm half curious, half worried about a scammer using Thales as name, but then he went "No help needed, just want the truth blah blah blah...".
Guess all of his information is kinda inaccurate...
Regards
Danny

I do not appear on the board of directors of any of those companies, nor have I in the past (apart from Thales Securities of course). I never use the term Maitre before my name, I'm not a lawyer, attorney or equivalent. Apart from the names of Mr. Brantley (I believe he works for Caribbean Trust Company) and Marc Harris, the names of the person mentioned don't even sound familiar.
We do not have a contract with any of the companies listed in that list. The closest resemblance to doing business is having referred a client to Caribbean Trust Company (Nevis) Ltd to form an IBC. I don't even know if the client formed his IBC and if, if he did it through them.
The only thing I can imagine is that Fidelity Insurance Company (FIC), or any of the others, picked up on our referral programm and -without signing our agreement- claim that they represent us, WHICH THEY DON'T.
I don't refer or have referred clients to BC and certainly not to Croztrade (who probably are competitors...)
I will visit the site mentioned and demand corrections.
Feel free to email me with any questions.
