The enterprise's architect and kingpin. The qui tam complaint pleads her as “the enterprise's legal architect and principal” — she “devised the fraudulent schemes, structured the corporate transactions, drafted deceptive SEC filings, [and] created the offshore nominee infrastructure,” directing the enterprise's strategy across four decades. Jan Wallace was her instrument, not her equal. The enterprise's legal architecture. Principal of Cane O'Neill & Taylor and then Cane Clark LLP — registered agent for 219+ companies and EDGAR filing agent (CIK 0001255294). Across three decades she supplied the attorney-escrow accounts, securities opinions, and offshore concealment structures behind the Thomas & Wong escrow fraud, the Davi Skin pump-and-dump, the SDI takeover, and the MOD Systems voting-trust fraud. In United States v. DiScala the EDNY called her "central to the scheme," capturing her on a wiretap setting Cubed price targets to the nickel. Legally changed her name from Michael to Kyleen on 28 June 2001 yet kept filing SEC documents under the abandoned identity; resurfaced in 2024 as Kyleen Elisabeth Castro, Ph.D. The contemporaneous emails place the instruments in her own hand: she personally transmitted the MW Medical / Davi Skin promissory-note package to Wallace,1 and in her own email she directed the formation of the SDI joint-venture “Secured Lending” (SDL) vehicle.2

The enterprise's front. A Canadian citizen who served as CEO, President, or Director of at least three SEC-reporting shells — Dynamic Associates, MW Medical / Davi Skin, and SDI — without work authorization. She cultivated each victim's trust while Cane supplied the legal cover. Her private infrastructure ran on three fraudulent Social Security numbers (one a dead man's, one never issued by the SSA) and a ring of Bermuda nominees at LOM Securities — Hepburn Holdings, Arch Ltd., Sunshine Ltd., and The Chloe Group. The $1.3M Thomas & Wong judgment against her was ruled nondischargeable for "actual fraud"; at her bankruptcy 341 meeting she swore she had no offshore accounts, then admitted Hepburn Holdings was "in Bermuda." The contemporaneous record ties her hand to each vehicle: she and Cane incorporated MW Fitness (the Savannah Corp shell) as an alter-ego,1 she maintained the Bermuda LOM nominees Arch Ltd. and Sunshine Ltd. on annual wire-paid renewal invoices2 and solicited the whistleblower onto the Hepburn Holdings accounts,3 and she reported the rolled-back SDI shares to Kelly Black.4

Davi SkinSDIWestern Investment Properties

The enterprise's outside financier — and its standing threat. Installed on the Davi Skin (CIK 0001059577) board after founder Parrish Medley was ousted in 2006 — the board that authorized the offshore issuance. His signature instrument is the $2,200,000 9% Senior Secured Convertible Note, first disclosed in Davi Skin's Q1-2008 10-QSB (Baum Law Firm filer of record, Acc. 0001173473-08-000049): Lakha is named the “unrelated third party,” takes a board seat and 125,000 options, and the note matures 15 May 2010.1 A senior secured convertible note is the threat made financial — a friendly lien over the whole company that, on default, converts the financier into the controlling creditor and lets him foreclose on the shell. It is the same instrument the enterprise used elsewhere: Wallace's manufactured MW Medical secured note ($615,871 → 74,000,000 reorganization shares) and her $200,000 Davi note.2 Lakha is also associated with that earlier $200,000 promissory-note conversion that, on 3 April 2007, issued 2,295,388 shares (certificates 5309–5312) in four equal 573,847-share blocks across the Bermuda LOM nominees at exactly 3.97% each — one tick below the 5% Schedule 13D disclosure threshold. 2 The same secured-financing-as-control pattern runs through Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. (“SDI” / SDVF, CIK 0000013156) and its real-estate flip vehicle Western Investment Properties (“WIP”) — run for Jan Wallace out of the 3273 E.

Munjit Johal

MW MedicalDavi SkinSDIGalaxy Gaming

Appointed a director and Chief Financial Officer of Davi Skin on 20 October 2006, Johal presented a clean public-company résumé: broad accounting, finance and management experience, Chief Financial Officer of Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. since September 2002, Executive Vice President of Pacific Heritage Bank in Torrance, California from 1990 to 1995, an MBA from the University of San Francisco (1980), and a BS in History from the University of California, Los Angeles (1978).9 Inside the enterprise the role was different — a recurring financial officer and SEC filing agent across the Cane network. When the company's auditors began probing the concealed $200,000 Wallace note in March 2006, Johal — with Grace Sim — manufactured the false financial records used to discredit ousted founder Parrish Medley and to paper over the offshore share issuances that handed control of the company to the Cane-Wallace nominees.1 As CFO he co-certified Davi Skin's SEC filings alongside CEO Wallace, swearing the company had no material related-party transactions and no undisclosed 5%-plus owners — certifications the April 2007 Bermuda nominee conversions rendered false.2 Beyond Davi Skin, Johal appears as the SEC filing officer of record for other Cane-network issuers, including Makeup.com Ltd. and Dippy Foods, Inc.3 As SDI's Principal Financial Officer, Johal signed the auditors' management representation letter and certified SDI's periodic filings under Sarbanes-Oxley, then forwarded Wallace an allegation captioned "SDI misleading 10K" concerning the same filing he had just certified.4 His sister, Devi (Harjeet) Johal (SEC CIK 0001207601), sits inside the same offshore apparatus. She worked at LOM Securities (Bermuda) — the very brokerage holding the Wallace nominees — as an associate advisor until 2003, was the SEC-registered corporate secretary of the shell Ballistic Ventures, Inc. (Naples, Florida, 2002–2003), and is the named payee on the March 2006 LOM renewal invoice for the Wallace nominees Arch Ltd. and Sunshine Ltd. In October 2010 she sued LOM Securities (Bermuda) Ltd. in the Supreme Court of Bermuda (represented by Cox Hallett Wilkinson). She later married Dennis Mahoney (Bermuda Official Gazette notice LN 38/2021 — a notice of intended marriage; both parties previously divorced) and today is the sole director, resident in Bermuda, of the UK insurance broker Limehouse Agency Limited (Companies House No. 16201794). It is an active private company limited by shares, incorporated 22 January 2025, registered at Apartment 4, 2 Matthew Parker Street, London SW1H 9NJ, and classified under SIC 66220 — activities of insurance agents and brokers: an insurance brokerage run from Bermuda through a Westminster accommodation address. The filed record is held here — incorporation, director particulars, and the 2026 confirmation statement. Public-company directory records also place her on Canadian junior-mining boards — Secretary of the Board of Lake Shore Gold Corp. (TSX-Venture: LSG, formerly Consolidated Takepoint Ventures Ltd.) and secretary and beneficial owner of Sonterra Resources Inc.10

Davi Skin / SDI

Wallace's personal securities counsel and a Director of Davi Skin with signatory authority over the company's corporate bank accounts.1 She had worked alongside Wallace and Cane at SDI Ventures as the securities attorney on SEC filings, and owned a shell company originating in the MW Medical corporate genealogy — a connection to the enterprise predating Davi Skin. Identified throughout the contemporaneous record as "counsel for Jan Wallace," she worked directly inside the share-engineering and EDGAR-disclosure machinery: a 9 April 2006 email to Munjit Johal and Wallace probed whether "the Edgar files show the amount of outstanding shares" and whether "another class of shares [can] vote other than common," and a May 2006 communication directed all disputes over the Davi Skin obligation and its stock-conversion rights to her.2 Her role included approving offshore wire transfers, authorizing share issuances, and signing corporate resolutions prepared by Cane that papered the offshore transactions. She also represented Wallace personally at the December 2006 Medley v. Wallace deposition.3 On April 4, 2006, Ambrosio ghost-drafted a sworn shareholder declaration for Kelly Black reciting that Wallace "issued 15 million shares of company stock to herself" and "stole two million dollars from the sale of the Cannery," pocketing the proceeds without disclosure on Form 8-K.4

Cane Clark LLPSDIGalaxy Gaming

The enterprise's opinion-letter signature. A Cane Clark LLP attorney who produced and signed the Rule 144 / Section 5 legal opinions that stripped restrictive legends off restricted shares — converting locked insider stock into free-trading float. In the SDI → Galaxy Gaming shell cycle (June–October 2006), Doney drove the Iomega legend-removal sequence: he calendared the opinion's signature precisely to the Rule 144 affiliate-clock anniversary (27 October 2006), while the "holder's" own legend-removal request was drafted issuer-side by Munjit Johal and routed to him rather than authored by the holder's counsel.1 His own words capture the practice — to a transfer-agent contact seeking an opinion, he wrote: "If you have a form letter, I would be happy to sign it." The sequence culminated in the SDI Form S-8 Exhibit 5.1 legality opinion, signed by Doney and transmitted to EDGAR on 5 October 2006 — the drafting counsel and the EDGAR-signing counsel being the same firm.2 Doney, as Cane Clark's securities attorney of record, supplied the Form S-8 registration and Exhibit 5.1 opinion letter converting restricted shell stock into free-trading shares and proposed issuing new shares to Wallace and Black, deferring: "Let me run this by Kyleen."3

Grace Sim

DynamicMW MedicalGenesis HealthDavi Skin

A recurring financial officer and corporate secretary across the enterprise's earliest shells. Sim served as CFO of Dynamic Associates and Secretary/Treasurer of MW Medical, and was in place as CFO when Dynamic acquired Genesis Health Management — the $25.4M Medicare-fee acquisition that gave the shells their commercial veneer.1 In the MW Medical bankruptcy she held a self-dealt promissory note alongside Wallace — debt the insiders manufactured and converted into reorganization equity, extinguishing the outside holders.2 At Davi Skin she and CFO Munjit Johal manufactured the false financial records used in 2006 to discredit ousted founder Parrish Medley and to paper over the offshore share issuances. The SDI record states her function plainly: she “formed the shell entities on Cane's instruction.”3 Sim incorporated Western Investments Partners, Inc. on July 18, 2005 with Cane Clark LLP as resident agent and Wallace and Lakha as directors, then personally managed Wallace's bank account, payroll, and the Secured Lending banking relationship.4

Her signature act was opening the foreign sales channel: a 12 July 2006 email forwarding Frankfurt Stock Exchange listing documents to Wallace, seeking to place SDI stock on Germany's Freiverkehr segment to reach “European retail investors” — the offshore conduit through which the manufactured float would be distributed.2 The emails make her role concrete: she forwarded the Frankfurt / Freiverkehr listing documents to Wallace,3 was the recipient of the new shares issued to “Wallace and Black” and “run by Kyleen,”4 was updated on the rolled-back shares,5 papered the Wallace Black, LLC entity,6 and is the subject of the ghost-drafted declaration reciting the looting allegations.7

She is administrative staff — not alleged to have directed any scheme — but her correspondence is the day-to-day record of how the shell entities were papered.1 Dickson held and transmitted the Savannah Corp charter documents and circulated the corporate director consent effecting SDI's 20-to-1 reverse stock split, instructing recipients: "Please circulate THIS document for signature, NOT the previous one."2

SDISecured LendingWIP

A WIP-linked insider installed as interim president of the enterprise's “Secured Lending” (SDL) joint venture layered onto SDI. In a June 2006 email captioned “Money,” Kister put in writing a round-trip designed to deceive the outside auditor: he would “get the 250K,” “wire it to SDI from Infinity Lending Services, Inc.,” place it in “the Secured Lending Account with Wells Fargo” so “the CPA can do his Verification and Audit,” then “transfer the money out and return it to its place and everything has been accomplished” — coordinating with the CPA “so that the audit runs smoothly.” Wallace kept it off the record: “Jay lets talk about the process tomorrow.1 The same $250,000 runs through the SDI joint-venture structuring — “contributed by SDI as a loan in some form (note most likely) … not sure if this is loan or contribution — see Jan”2 — and he pressed to have SDI reimburse his own money put into a Scottsdale property.3
