Recently, A Private Investigator here in town asked me to do him a favor on a case that I was familiar with. In return, he ran a background and "find" search on Smallwood using the PI database which yielded some 79 pages of information.
At this point, I invite Smallwood to get in touch with me by email, before I unleash this information in some very interesting places. If not, then, well...........

THE BIOIZER BULB BECOMES THE SATIC BULB!!
Imagine my hilarity upon checking out Satic's new website www.saticsaver.com. Smallwood's Bioizer light Bulb suddenly appears with a new label on an old picture. Now its the Satic bulb, same thing, same "inventor", though Erickson knows not to list Bob on this website, but still has another out there that does list him. All of these trademarks look like the original trademark for purespectrum, now owned by Bob's old employees whom he fired, as are all of the patents coming out of Transworld Lighting.
Unfortunately, Erickson has hired some others in his little company, and they probably do not know what they are getting into. But Erickson's qualifications look mighty embellished. He seems to be a good student of Bob's. They even claim to be founders of Second Wave, purportedly for underprivileged children. Can't find it on the web though. This is one of Bob's marketing ploys. Behaving as though he is a nice Christian man. Give us a break!!
Ssomewhere, Bob is behind the scenes in Satic, providing the products which are made in China. So he is making money off this company in his own parasitic way.

NEW INFORMATION
Sorry we have not posted for some time. We thought it would make sense to alert people that one of our contributers has been threatened with a lawsuit with damages, for defamation of SATIC. The claim was that the company had absolutely nothing to do with Smallwood, nor were they associated with him in any way. The alleged "defamation" had cost them $100,000 in sales of their products. However, Smallwood's name is STILL on their website as the inventor of this product.
We challenged Mr. Erickson that he had told his attorney falsehoods and we could easily prove this. He was upset and called us nasty names. It would appear that the owners of this company found themselves involved with Smallwood, to the extent that they have to pay him to have the product made and shipped to the USA from China. Like many before them, they invested their time and money in this endeavor without realizing who and what Smallwood is. Once they knew they could not get out without losing their investments, they continued to do business with Smallwood at their own risk. We cannot really review their product, but what we can say is that if it is coming from Bob Smallwood, then its certifications, patents, and warranties are suspect.
We duly informed Erickson that if he wished to share his story we would be glad to post it.

Satic, Inc and Bob Smallwood
Satic, Inc., one of Smallwood's spinoff companies which gOt its start in Montana, is now adding an office in Tennessee. The owners have been advised of Smallwood's reputation, yet they continue to misrepresent the company based on Smallwood's misrepresentation of himself as the inventor of today's fluorescent lighting and the shape of today's compact fluorescent bulbs. The company claims it has certifications for its products, but they would need to publish these online for me to believe it.
Here's what they have to say:
"7) Are there any other products on the market similar to yours?
Yes; the technology is not new. What sets our product apart is the inventor, Bob Smallwood. He is well known in the lighting industry. He is responsible for the current ballast in most fluorescent light bulbs as well as for the spiral shape in most single bulbs today. Our product is more efficient, also acting as a surge protector, & corrects the Power Factor of the electrical current flowing through the box. Nothing else I am aware of does all of that in one unit at our pricing. It is truly a great value!
And their new address:
Thasay Information Technologies

Knoxville TN 37919

How Bob handles Civil Lawsuits
Over a 32 year period, Bob has become something of an expert at "handling" civil lawsuits against him and/or his companies. Because he is good at pretending he is a wealthy businessman, he has been able to hire attorneys of good reputation to take on his cases. He learns very quickly and knows how to totally stonewall a lawsuit against him. In fact he often gets his attorneys to believe his "stories" about people who are suing him, so much so, that he has successfully stiffed the attorneys for many thousands of dollars.
You first problem is finding him in order to have him served with a subpoena. When found, he will claim he is someone else and avoid process. In the past, many had to have him served by a private investigator with a picture of him in his hand. At the present time you can look up his companies, mostly in Colorado. and have service sent to the registered agent.
Second, whatever your accusation, he will deny it in his answer, or state that he does not remember. He may even accuse you of doing something nefarious. He avoids discovery, and also depositions. If he feels he has the upper hand, he will have you deposed and cost you as much money as possible. Your attorney may end up having to file motions to compel anything you want from him, over and over. The idea is to drag out the process as long as possible and cost you as much money as possible so you will eventually give up.
Third, let's say you finally get to trial. He will probably not show up. The judge hears the case and awards you money plus damages. You have a judgment, BUT again you have to find him. If you find him, then you have to find out where he banks, and then obtain a garnishment of his bank account. He moves money around from bank to bank, often keeping it in business accounts which are more difficult to pierce. He does not pay himself a "salary", so you really cannot garnish that. He does not keep property in his name, so that is not an option either. The idea is that he can outlast you, and then when it is possible he will bankrupt again. He just concluded his third bankruptcy in Colorado, 2005, so it will be a few years until he can file again.
Law enforcement, and bankruptcy bureaucracy tend to be useless. Bob was investigated by the FBI in Virginia in 2001, for defrauding investors in a company he had at the time. They decided not to prosecute him, since their priorities were on terrorism, and because they felt he operated just within the law. I don't agree with the latter assessment, because if his bank records were found, law enforcement could see what he has been doing. That is why he avoids due diligence. It might be worth alerting and complaining loudly to the Attorney General in the state where he has the business. Some investors in Hawaii have already gone the FBI route, and they got nowhere. Several of Bob's victims really leaned on the US Trustee in Colorado about what we knew was a fraudulent bankruptcy. However the UST's office does not even have a trained investigator and did a very poor job of it, even though they had access to quite a lot of data suggesting that Bob was lying through his teeth. I personally sat on the phone through a six hour deposition, and listened to him lie constantly about his status and reputation, his purported illness, his ownership in a company from 10 years before which he said he sold for several million dollars. He actually bankrupted this same company, claiming no assets and discharging well over a million dollars in debt and judgments against him.
This is bad news for anyone who wants to sue him. This is the purpose of this blog: to warn away anyone doing due diligence now or in the future.
Please feel free to ask questions and I will try to answer them. My next post will include all the known companies, and their "offshoots" from 1978 on. After that, I will undertake the arduous task of posting all the lawsuits I have, with case numbers and recommendations for obtaining and reading them.

SOME GENERAL DATA
Bob Smallwood (Robert C., Sr.) is a 66 year old man who hails originally from Maryland. He has been married 4 times to date and has 10 children. He is not a high school graduate, but is a savvy, manipulative person who often pretends to be a rich inventor, or entrepreneur and businessman. He claims he is well known in the lighting industry and in the computer industry. He frequently claims inventions which are not his, and has one standing patent from the late 90's which turned out to be defective called "Master Lite Power Distribution System". He has one other patent (though the inventor is really Earl Crandall) and it is owned by Pure Spectrum, Inc. in Savannah Georgia, attached as a result of million dollar judgments against Smallwood in 2004.
Bob claims that he is the inventor of the half bridge design found in flourescent lights today, and recently made claims that he was the inventor of the spiral form of compact flourescent bulbs. These claims are untrue. He claims that his inventions have many certifications which cannot be found. He also claims inventions which are owned by others, usually in Asia (China and Korea) which he "licenses" to people he can convince of his prowess and the marketability of the products, which are often very inflated. He can be very convincing, but usually he makes deals or sells stock which will never produce much, and he takes the money and uses it as though it were his own bank account. Sometime later, investors discover that the companies are a mess, financially insolvant, and Smallwood becomes erratic in his explanations for this. By this time, the money has been put elsewhere and finding it can be difficult.
Bob claims to be Christian. He has scammed churches, women, businessmen and women, employees, investors, and anyone else who believes him. His recent MO has been that he is poor and has had companies and technology stolen from him. He plays the victim well. He often calls people with whom he is friendly "brother", yet he has no compunction about taking their money. Often he has people so convinced of either his reputation or his technology, that documentary evidence is not enough to convince people that all of it is for show and frequently full or lies and omissions.
Bob claims that he had cancer and nearly died several years ago. We have no data to support the fact that he was dying, but he may have been ill as a result of many lawsuits against him and his former company, Transworld Lighting, Inc., originally a Virginia company, but later based in Savannah, Georgia. The company is now defunct and many investors lost their money. He was in Hawaii until recently and moved during the first few months of 2008, on the heals of the failure of Bioizer Technologies, a Colorado company which did not succeed, but remains active in Colorado, though not in Hawaii where it was based for research and development.
He has had many companies over the years. I will list them in my next post.

He often calls people with whom he is friendly "brother", yet he has no compunction about taking their money. Often he has people so convinced of either his reputation or his technology, that documentary evidence is not enough to convince people that all of it is for show and frequently full or lies and omissions.
Bob claims that he had cancer and nearly died several years ago. We have no data to support the fact that he was dying, but he may have been ill as a result of many lawsuits against him and his former company, Transworld Lighting, Inc., originally a Virginia company, but later based in Savannah, Georgia. The company is now defunct and many investors lost their money. He was in Hawaii until recently and moved during the first few months of 2008, on the heals of the failure of Bioizer Technologies, a Colorado company which did not succeed, but remains active in Colorado, though not in Hawaii where it was based for research and development.
He has had many companies over the years. I will list them in my next post.
