The offenses alleged in Counts One, Two, and Three were committed in the following manner:

The Enterprise

The enterprise alleged in Counts One, Two and Three consisted of a groups of individuals,associated in fact, and multipe legal entities. The enterprise included, the following associated in fact

individuals, a group of individuals, along with legal entities and/or other entities:

Conley Hoskins, Dallan Dirkmaat, David Krause, Brenden Joyce, Yesenia Melendez, Audra Wimer,Kurt Criter, Nathan Newman, Ryan Tripp, Carols Meza, Dialyne Parker, Jane Medicals, LLC, AllCare Wellness Centers, LLC, Rainmaker Management, LLC, 5105 E. 39th Ave., LLC, The People’sLaw Firm, LLC and others both known and unknown to the Grand Jury, who were associated fromtime to time in the racketeering activity that was related to the conduct of the enterprise.

The above persons and entities that associated with the enterprise, and the enterprise itself,engaged in a scheme including: receiving, buying, selling, dealing, cultivating and/or distributingmarijuana in Colorado, and at least one other state, while engaging in securities fraud, theft, forgery,evading taxes and attempting to influence public servants through deceit. The enterprise evolved into

a distribution ring, in part, because many members established personal and business connectionswith one another throughout the preceding years.

In fact, Mr. Hoskins, Mr. Dirkmaat and Dr. Searle grew up together in Idaho. Mr. Hoskins’and Mr. Dirkmaat’s longstanding friendship led them to participate in business ventures together inthe following fields: construction, car washes and medical marijuana dispensaries (also known asmedical marijuana centers). In particular, the medical marijuana dispensaries that Hoskins owned and managed occasionally utilized the legal services of Mr. Dirkmaat and were co-located in the same building as his law firm. These dispensaries included: Jane Medicals, LLC, Higher Health Medicaland All Care Wellness Centers, LLC. Mr. Dirkmaat, an attorney, was the managing member of ThePeople’s Law Firm (A.K.A., The People’s Law Firm, LLC) which interacted frequently with Mr.Hoskins’ businesses. Dr. Searle’s connection with both Hoskins and Dirkmaat lead to the

development of a business relationship where Dr. Searle moved part of his medical practice to anoffice located nearby the Jane Medicals building. While practicing at that office, Dr. Searle made patient referrals to Jane Medicals, LLC. Contemporaneously, Conley Hoskins paid the rent of Dr.Searle while he made the above mentioned patient referrals to Jane Medicals, LLC.

Over the course of time, Mr. Hoskins’ business interests migrated from those related toconstruction and car washes to those which included several ventures into the medical marijuanaindustry. Drawing on past business experiences in raising capital, Hoskins utilized the help of friendsand acquaintances to seek out investors for expansion into the marijuana industry. Later Mr.Hoskins’ plan to expand his marijuana businesses through investments took a turn down the criminal path. This path included defrauding those same individuals who sought to partner or invest with Mr.Hoskins as he expanded his marijuana businesses.

One component of Mr. Hoskins’ investment scheme utilized the services of an established  businessman named Kurt Criter. Mr. Criter, a supplier of car wash chemicals, and Mr. Hoskinsoriginally knew one another from conducting business transactions related to the car wash industry.Given Mr. Criter’s business background and experience, Mr. Hoskins consulted with him to draft a prospectus aimed at gaining investors for his medical marijuana businesses. In fact, Mr. Criter took earnings and projected earnings figures supplied by Mr. Hoskins and incorporated them into a prospectus that was later provided to investors and potential partners. Mr. Criter was specificallyassigned to seek out money from investors located outside the state of Colorado and ultimately

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/hoskins-et-al-indictment 10/65

10

supplied a prospectus to these same investors containing false information. This prospectus included false sales figures, assets and liabilities and made numerous material omissions. Further, during thesearch for investors both Mr. Criter and Mr. Hoskins falsely portrayed Mr. Criter as a current officer and or executive of the various medical marijuana businesses owned and operated by Mr. Hoskins.

A second stage of this investment scheme involved Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Dirkmaat

cooperating with one another to fraudulently gain investors and business partners. Much of themoney from investors and potential partners was falsely presented by Hoskins and Dirkmaat as beingdestined to expand the various marijuana businesses. Instead, the money that investors sought toinvest in Mr. Hoskins’ marijuana businesses was fraudulently diverted for other unrelated purposes,including but not limited to, paying off personal debts and business debts on the likes of car washesowned by Mr. Hoskins. Mr. Dirkmaat and Mr. Hoskins, individually and through the use of their  businesses, engaged in numerous fraudulent behaviors to gain investors and stave off outsidefinancial pressures. On one occasion, Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Dirkmaat, transferred a piece of construction machinery to an auction house, purportedly through a “straw-buyer/seller” whilefraudulently claiming the construction equipment lacked a lien. The lien and forged paperwork used during this ruse were later discovered by the auction house and the purchaser. On another occasionthese two men, individually and through their LLC’s used false documentation and deceit to seek and 

secure in state and out of state investors for Mr. Hoskins’ marijuana businesses. Ultimately, the twofraudulently diverted a significant portion of the incoming investment moneys for purposes other thanthat which their prospectus had promised.

During the winter of 2010, Mr. Chuck Frase, an investor in Mr. Hoskins’ car wash business,introduced Mr. Jerrod Martin to Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Dirkmaat. Eventually, Mr. Frase’s introductionof these two lead to Jerrod Martin moving to Colorado in order to grow marijuana for ConleyHoskins. Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Jerrod Martin then engaged in an ongoing conspiracy to illegallycultivate marijuana in the basement of a home located in Larimer County and occupied by Jerrod Martin. Conley Hoskins, through his then solvent company Denali Custom Homes, LLC, had anownership interest in this very home which was rented and occupied by Jerrod Martin. Mr. Martin’srole in this portion of the enterprise was to serve as the grower who tended to the crop of marijuana.

Mr. Martin frequently contacted Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Dirkmaat via text, instant message, email, phone or wire and ordered marijuana for the purposes of distributing it to Jane Medicals, LLC for sale.

After seeing potential for financial growth, Mr. Martin invested nearly $50,000.00 in JaneMedicals, LLC in order to help pay for a warehouse expansion designed to increase marijuana production. Shortly after making his own investment, and with the consent of Conley Hoskins, Mr.Martin sought out his friends and their acquaintances with the financial wherewithal to invest in Mr.Hoskins’ marijuana businesses. These investors included individuals from Texas named John Lemak and Gary Pool. Investments from these two and Mr. Martin totaled nearly six hundred thousand dollars. Despite this influx of investment money, Conley Hoskins, with occasional assistance fromDallan Dirkmaat, continued to seek out investors and partners for his medical marijuana dispensaries.

Eventually, Mr. Hoskins, and occasionally Mr. Dirkmaat, would go on to defraud these and other investors, partners and or business associates.

To conceal their criminal activities several members of the enterprise engaged in moneylaundering and tax evasion. These actions allowed enterprise members to hide their illicit proceedsfrom law enforcement and or taxing authorities and to expand their marijuana production capabilities.Despite taxable earnings and or taxable sales, others achieved similar goals of hiding their illegalmarijuana proceeds or collected sales tax from law enforcement and or taxing authorities by filingfalse returns or simply failing to collect or pay over trust taxes. Some members even used portions of

the proceeds from their illegal sales of marijuana and tax schemes to pay for personal items, including but not limited to vehicles and debt on other businesses.

While each member occupied different roles within the enterprise, they relied upon thecriminal acts of one another to achieve individual success in the context of the overall enterprise.

(M1), and against the peace and dignity of the People of the State of Colorado.

The offenses alleged in Predicate Acts 1 through 12 were committed in the following manner and occurred in the State of Colorado:

From June of 2010 until May of the following year, Mr. Jerrod Martin, a conspirator of bothConley Hoskins and Dallan Dirkmaat, cultivated over thirty plants of marijuana in the basement of aresidence located in Windsor, Colorado without being properly licensed by the state. This Windsor 

residence was owned by a company named Denali Custom Homes, LLC, which in turn was owned and managed by Mr. Hoskins. Mr. Hoskins provided the Windsor house to Mr. Martin for the purposes of cultivating marijuana and Mr. Hoskins paid bills associated with the marijuana grow.Both Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Dirkmaat, who were high managerial agents for Jane Medicals, LLC,conspired with Mr. Martin to cultivate marijuana and deliver it to the dispensary Jane Medicals, LLCfor sale. In order to effectuate their conspiracy to distribute, Mr. Hoskins, Mr. Dirkmaat and Mr.Martin used cell phones and or email to coordinate production and delivery of this illegally grownmarijuana. Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Dirkmaat both authorized and knowingly tolerated this conduct of using unlicensed and illegally grown marijuana for the benefit of Jane Medicals, LLC, a companyoperating as a medical marijuana dispensary in Denver.

Mr. Hoskins, Mr. Dirkmaat and Mr. Martin were aware that the grow house in Windsor 

lacked a state license to grow marijuana. In exchange for U.S. currency and as rent on the house inWindsor, Mr. Martin delivered an estimated ten to twenty pounds of marijuana to Conley Hoskinsand his company Jane Medicals, LLC. Once delivered, Conley Hoskins as owner of Jane Medicals,LLC instituted a policy where his employees sold the illegally grown marijuana employing the rusethat the marijuana had been grown and sold in accordance with Colorado state law. Furthermore,Mr. Hoskins and Jane Medicals, LLC used profits from Mr. Martin’s ongoing grow, amongst other things, in order to fund various aspects of subsequent illegal marijuana cultivation.

In the beginning of March of 2011, Mr. Martin was provided, via email, a prospectus for JaneMedicals, LLC by Mr. Hoskins entitled “Jane Medicals Business Plan, February 2011”. The JaneMedicals Business Plan materially misrepresented and omitted certain financial information including but not limited to sales figures, business liabilities and tax liabilities. Specifically, the sales numbers

Mr. Hoskins provided to Mr. Martin were inflated compared to the sales numbers Mr. Hoskins provided to the Colorado Department of Revenue during the same and relevant time period. Based onthe false information and omissions in the prospectus, Mr. Martin invested nearly $50,000.00 withMr. Hoskins for his various medical marijuana businesses.

At the direction of Mr. Hoskins, Mr. Martin solicited additional investors in Jane Medicals,LLC by emailing the above mentioned prospectus and personally contacting potential investors. Mr.Martin emailed the fabricated prospectus to potential and eventual business investors such as Mr.John Lemak and Mr. Gary Pool. In August of 2011, Mr. John Lemak requested additional sales

information about Jane Medicals, LLC. Mr. Conley Hoskins met the request. The subsequentinformation and the original “Jane Medicals Business Plan, February 2011” prospectus materiallymisrepresented and omitted certain financial information including but not limited to sales figures, business liabilities and tax liabilities. The sales numbers Mr. Hoskins provided to Mr. Lemak and Mr. Pool were inflated compared to the sales numbers Mr. Hoskins provided to the ColoradoDepartment of Revenue during the same and relevant time period. On a repeated basis from August

1, 2011 until June 30, 2012 and based on the false information and omissions in the prospectus, Mr.Lemak invested approximately $600,000.00 with Mr. Hoskins for his various medical marijuana businesses. Based on the false information and omissions in the prospectus, Mr. Pool invested approximately $50,000.00 with Mr. Hoskins for his various medical marijuana businesses.Furthermore, Mr. Hoskins fraudulently diverted a significant portion of the investments of Mr.Lemak, Mr. Martin and Mr. Pool for unrelated purposes, including but not limited to, paying off  personal debts and business debts on car washes owned by Mr. Hoskins.

Starting about January 1, 2010 and continuing until roughly September 30, 2012, ConleyHoskins, Yesenia Melendez, Audra Wimer, Dialyne Parker, Carlos Meza, Nathan Newman, RyanTripp, and Jane Medicals, LLC engaged in the illegal distribution of marijuana and a conspiracy toillegally distribute marijuana. These persons and entity did so by utilizing a state licensed medicalmarijuana dispensary as a front to illegally traffic marijuana in amounts above those allowable bystate law. Mr. Hoskins and other store supervisors, acting as high managerial agents for Jane

Medicals, LLC, directed their employees to sell more than two ounces of marijuana to both legallyred carded patients and illegally to individuals without red cards. After receiving these directionsYesenia Melendez, Audra Wimer, Dialyne Parker, Carlos Meza, Nathan Newman, Ryan Tripp performed the requested illegal sales.

From January 1, 2010 until July 20, 2011 as a result of repeated sales of marijuana tocustomers through Jane Medicals, LLC and All Care Wellness Centers, LLC, during tax years 2010and 2011, Mr. Conley Hoskins committed tax evasion, conspiracy to commit tax evasion, filed falsereturns and committed theft. Mr. Hoskins did so through a scheme coordinated with his employees,whereby the participants/conspirators deliberately failed to collect and remit sales taxes to theColorado Department of Revenue. Mr. Hoskins directed employees to sell and stood complicit intheir actions to sell more than two ounces of marijuana to both legally red carded patients and 

illegally to individuals without red cards. Mr. Hoskins possessed knowledge of this and encouraged Jane Medicals, LLC employees to omit certain sales and understate these sales in the point of salescomputer system to evade taxes and to avoid both the recording of illegal sales and the underreportingof sales and sales taxes to the Colorado Department of Revenue. Ms. Melendez, Ms. Wimer and Mr.Parker admitted to conducting these types of sales and the three stated they witnessed Mr. Meza, Mr. Newman and Mr. Tripp performing similar illegal sales and underreporting the volume of sales aswell.

Furthermore, Jane Medicals, LLC and All Care Wellness Centers, LLC sales tax returns did not reflect the amounts of sales and sales taxes reported in Mr. Hoskins’ and Mr. Criter’s prospectusfor the same tax periods. The prospectus reported an additional approximate $65,900.00 in collected state administered sales tax than what had been reported by Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Dirkmaat to the

Department of Revenue by Jane Medicals, LLC and All Care Wellness Centers, LLC for Januarythrough December 2010. In August of 2011, a pro forma provided to Mr. Martin by Mr. Hoskinsdescribed actual sales reported by Jane Medicals, LLC and All Care Wellness Centers, LLC fromJanuary 1, 2011 and June 30, 2011. During this period, an additional $9,982.09 in state administered sales taxes was reported collected a pro forma over what was reported by Mr. Hoskins to theDepartment of Revenue for All Care Wellness, LLC. Over the same time period, the pro forma demonstrated an additional $34,438.75 in state administered sales tax collected over and above whatMr. Hoskins reported to the Department or Revenue for Jane Medicals, LLC. In total, nearly$110,000.00 in state administered sales taxes collected and reflected in a prospectus and  pro forma,were stolen by Mr. Hoskins and Jane Medicals, LLC and not remitted to the Department of Revenuein 2010 and 2011.

In July of 2012, investigators from the Department of Revenue executed a search warrant and seized a computer from Mr. Hoskins’ business. In February of 2013 Mr. Conley Hoskins reported additional sales and attempted to pay the additional remitted sales taxes associated with his previouslyfiled false returns for Jane Medicals, LLC. The bank account upon which these checks for theremittance of sales tax were drawn possessed insufficient funds at the time received by theDepartment of Revenue.

Prior to February of 2011 Mr. Dalan Dirkmaat’s construction business, named DirkmaatStefanich, Inc., purchased a piece of heavy construction equipment manufactured by Komatsu. Thissame piece of Komatsu heavy construction equipment carried a manufacturer’s lien. In early 2011,Mr. Dirkmaat sought to sell his construction equipment at auction. However, with the approximate$27,000 lien in place any sale would be diminished by that same amount. Mr. Dirkmaat and Mr.Hoskins then set about and conspired to fraudulently convey the equipment without satisfying the

lien.To accomplish this goal, Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Dirkmaat stood complicit with one another in

generating and uttering a forged a bill of sale. The bill of sale falsely purported to be from RyanSchwartz, a manager at Effusion Construction, Inc. to Denali Custom Homes, LLC, a companyowned by Mr. Hoskins. The fraudulent bill of sale allowed the two men to hide the existence of thelien. Mr. Dirkmaat and Mr. Hoskins’ stood complicit in each other’s actions in the utterance of theforged document to Richie Bros. Auctioneers and the failure to disclose the lien on the equipment.

Unaware of the existence of the lien, Richie Bros. Auctioneers sold the equipment with theattached lien and relinquished the proceeds of the sale, in an amount over $24,500, to Mr. Hoskins.Richie Bros. Auctioneers later discovered the lien, settled with lienholder Komatsu, and pursued  payment for the lien from Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Dirkmaat. Mr. Hoskins settled with Richie Bros.

Auctioneers for approximately $17,000.

Forgery of Checks or Commercial Instruments, §18-5-102(1)(c), C.R.S. (F5) 1001C 

On or about and between December 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, in the State of Colorado,

CONLEY HOSKINS, DALLAN DIRKMAAT and THE PEOPLE’S LAW FIRM, with theintent to defraud David Krause, Nathan Churchill and or Lawrence Deutsch, unlawfully, feloniously,and falsely made, completed, altered, or uttered a written instrument, which was or which purported to be, or which was calculated to become or to represent if completed, a deed, will, codicil, contract,assignment, commercial instrument, promissory note, or other instrument which document did or mayhave evidenced, created, transferred, terminated, or otherwise affected a legal right, interest,obligation, or status, namely: an operating agreement; in violation of §18-5-102(1)(c), C.R.S. (F5),and against the peace and dignity of the People of the State of Colorado.

The offenses alleged in Predicate Acts 43 through 54 incorporate the above mentioned facts, werecommitted in the following manner and occurred in the State of Colorado:

From December of 2011 until June of 2012, Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Dirkmaat (individually and as owner and high managerial agent of The People’s Law Firm) conspired with one another and  participated in a theft scheme. This scheme by these men, utilizing the business entity of ThePeople’s Law Firm, culminated in the theft of moneys from Brenden Joyce and his wife Dana Joyce,David Krause, Nathan Churchill and Lawrence Deutsch. Throughout the scheme both men used anoperating agreement, containing false information, to induce potential investors and or potential partners to put money towards the purchase of Higher Health Medicals, LLC. Mr. Hoskins and Mr.Dirkmaat conspired with one another and stood complicit with one another’s acts throughout thistheft scheme.

During the above mentioned time frame, Mr. Hoskins sought to purchase a third medicalmarijuana dispensary named Higher Health Medical, LLC. He lacked the funds to do so and sought

help from his friend, Mr. Dirkmaat. Close in time to December of 2011, the two men conspired tosteal over $130,000 from Brenden and Dana Joyce. The first part of the scheme unfolded when Mr.Hoskins offered Mr. Joyce an option to be a partner in the purchase of Higher Health Medical, LLC.Mr. Dirkmaat, through his law firm, used his client trust account to falsely portray that Mr. Hoskins possessed over $100,000.00 of his own money to be put towards the purchase of Higher HealthMedical, LLC. Convinced by the false representations of Hoskins and Dirkmaat, Mr. Joyce put hisand his wife’s money into the trust account of The People’s Law Firm at UMB bank. Instead of themoney being spent on the purchase of Higher Health Medicals, LLC., the Joyce’s money wasfraudulently used by Mr. Hoskins to pay debts and personal expenses unrelated to the purchase of thedispensary. Mr. Dirkmaat stood complicit in these criminal actions of Mr. Hoskins and the fraudulentdiversion of Mr. and Mrs. Joyce’s money.

Mr. Joyce eventually became suspicious of the behavior of Mr. Dirkmaat and Mr. Hoskins.Mr. Joyce contacted Mr. Dirkmaat via email to request the return of his $130,000.00. In an emailresponse, Mr. Dirkmaat delayed the return of the money by providing Mr. Joyce a false excuse. Needing to return the money or risk exposure of their theft scheme, Mr. Dirkmat and Mr. Hoskinsconvinced another individual named David Krause to invest in the purchase of Higher HealthMedical. Mr. Krause was informed by Mr. Hoskins that his money would be used exclusively to purchase Higher Health Medical. Within days of the receipt of Mr. Krause’s investment, Mr. Hoskinsand Mr. Dirkmaat diverted Krause’s $130,000 from its intended purpose and used it to create the

35

appearance that the escrow money of Brenden and Dana Joyce had been returned (despite havingalready been spent by Hoskins and Dirkmaat).

In January of 2012, Hoskins and Dirkmaat targeted another investor named NathanChurchill. Mr. Churchill, an ex-patriot living in Brazil for the last thirty years, invested at least$150,000.00 with Mr. Dirkmaat and Mr. Hoskins for the purchase of High Health Medical and a

subsequent planned expansion of Mr. Hoskins’ medical marijuana businesses. Instead of being used as promised, Mr. Churchill’s money was fraudulently diverted to pay debts and personal expensesunrelated to the medical marijuana businesses of Mr. Hoskins.

In May of 2012, Hoskins and Dirkmaat again targeted another investor named LawrenceDeutsch. Mr. Deutsch, invested $200,000.00 with Mr. Dirkmaat and Mr. Hoskins for the purchase of High Health and a subsequent planned expansion of Mr. Hoskins’ medical marijuana businesses.Instead, Mr. Deutsch’s money was fraudulently diverted to pay debts and personal expenses unrelated to the medical marijuana businesses of Mr. Hoskins.

Ultimately in May of 2012, Mr. Hoskins did purchase Higher Health Medical, LLC for $75,000. However, Mr. Hoskins has only delivered approximately $60,000 of the original purchase

 price.
