Tony Stevens, REAA’s Solicitor, Izard Western
Lauda Finem have been supplied with video evidence that proves New Zealand’s Real Estate Agent Authority (REAA) head of operations, Dean Winter has been cyber stalking justice crusader Dermot Nottingham’s family.
Dean Winter, however, is no ordinary operations manager, just like Kieth Manch his ex boss, Mr Winter is an ex police officer (detective) serving in the New Zealand Police force between 1987 – 2000 (13 years) and again according to his “LinkedIn” profile held the position of “trust and safety manager” with the FAIRFAX owned website www.trademe.co.nz between October 2006 – October 2009. As an aside the editor of the Herald on Sunday, Bryce Johns, was also employed by Fairfax during much the same period.
(Note: Fairfax staff in New Zealand have a history of assisting with the rorting of consumers by fabricating stories, Johns whilst at Fairfax was very much a part of the Fiona Rotherham, Phil Kitchin and Jenni McManus media cabal. Lauda Finem will be posting a series of stories about Dean Winter, Bryce Johns, the REAA’s media adviser Ngaire Vanderhoof and Bryce Johns connection to the three other Fairfax owned publication journalists over the years in the coming days, it appears that these individuals have been operating in a similar fashion to the “NEWS OF THE WORLD’s” journos; as have their solicitors)
Dean Winter is also the subject of an ongoing corruption investigation and it would seem that he has taken it upon himself (using REAA resources), without lawful justification, to research Mr Nottingham, his children and other members of Nottinghams immediate and extended family; interestingly Dermot Nottingham, when he has made allegations of criminal behaviour by Government officials has, so far, never been wrong………his impeccable record dates back to a campaign in the mid 1990’s nicknamed “carwars”…….a campaign that also involved outing National Party political fraudsters…….. strangely, however, there are no references to Mr Nottingham’s immense efforts online except for one published book…..available in New Zealand’s Libraries…..we however have obtained a copy!
When Winters extraordinary behaviour was discovered he was contacted and questioned about it. He however failed to respond, preferring to stick his head in the sand. When pressed and advised that his behaviour would be reported to the Government Minister responsible Winters then took the extraordinary step of instructing the REAA’s solicitors Izard Western to write denying his online activities and threatening Nottingham with defamation proceedings should he go public with the allegations…….Sorry Dean, but Lauda Finem doesn’t take that type of threat lying down………we’ll always strive to raise the ante when the evidence clearly proves the behaviour.
Interestingly, whilst not disclosed in the threatening correspondence it was soon established that Izard Western had on many occasions represented the REAA, and that the partner who wrote the letters threatening to sue, Tony Stevens had lied by later denying an association with the REAA and claiming to be acting on Winter’s behalf alone.
When Tony Stevens was advised that another partner in the firm, Rob Stewart, had confirmed Izard Westerns commercial relationship with the REAA Stevens again tried to skirt the issue in an obfuscatory manner historically typical of Izard Western’s solicitors and associates.

Since it has been established that Tony Stevens had lied about Izard Westerns commercial relationship with the REAA the question as to why he acted to mislead now needs to be answered.
Of course Izard Western are no strangers themselves to dodgey deals, in fact they are associated with another REAA official, fellow solicitor, the corrupt Mr Paul Mortens. Our regular readers will be aware that Lauda Finem did a story on Mr Morten and his corrupt behaviour in December, 2011
With the aforementioned in mind one can only conclude that Tony Stevens misrepresentations where intentional. Had Stevens admitted to prior representation of the REAA this would in turn have evidenced further dodgey conspiratorial dealings by Winter and his employer, the REAA.
Mr Winter, it appears, was using online intimidation in an attempt to shut down Nottingham’s investigation into the systemic corruption and National Party cronyism that is endemic at the REAA. What Mr Winter, the REAA and the others involved in this ongoing criminal conspiracy need to come to terms with is that they will ultimately be brought to account for their behaviour, its only a matter of time.
Rob Stewart, Izard Western, solicitor for both Fairfax and the REAA
They should also realise that bullshit threats of defamation proceedings will not stop that inevitability, especially when there is irrefutable evidence that proves Dean Winter to be a bold faced fucking liar.
If Dean Winter has done nothing wrong why then has he persistently denied his online activities? From the evidence we have seen, in denying this behaviour Winters is clearly worried, again why? Could it be the fact that Winter knows that there is no plausible excuse, in his employment with the REAA, for stalking a 14 year old child?
So Mr Winter are you going to sue us for defamation now that we’ve outed you, “Mr Trust and Safety”, as a cyber stalker? We’d love Mr Winter to have a crack, the problem is that it would be the thin end of the wedge and Dean Winter and his halfwit lawyers know it!
The Izard Western correspondence on, behalf of the REAA and Dean Winter, is also worth a read, here, clearly then Mr Winter has lied to the lawyers as well; then again perhaps not…….Izard Western have, over many years, made a habit of lying themselves.
Just a small sample of video evidence of Dean Winters strange and highly suspicious online behaviour when it comes to stalking 14 year old school girls:
Update: The youtube videos below were disabled by “YouTube” on 20 April 2012 after someone in power (we suspect via YouTube “partner” TVNZ) falsely alleged that what amounts to an evidential tape was defamatory. It is of course not defamatory, the truth never is, after all the video does evidence Mr Martin Honey’s criminal offending and that must be embarrassing for both him and the REAA.
Lauda Finem have also taken the extraordinary step of closing our YouTube account (in protest) and will be working over the weekend to have the video evidence up and running again, this time under the complete control of www.laudafinem.org so that the likes of Martin Honey and his corrupt national party mates cant touch it………so pop back soon.
Update: National Party suck-hole and ex-cop Dean Winter has suddenly been transferred to the department of justice, taking up a “newly created” position?:
Note: We will be publishing the tape recorded telephone conversations between Nottingham and Izard Westerns Tony Stevens and Rob Stewart in the coming days

Of course readers “Thomas” is also a fraudster. Unbeknownst to him we knew who he was. All it ever takes is time, the NZ civil service is after all rather unique; something akin to a colander 😉
I have discussed the ‘bogus webpages designed’ with a chap who has been involved with computers ever since the first one entered NZ in a forty foot container.
Mr Honey appears to thrive on his own reputation as NZ’s top and most successful real estate agent/agency.
Its hard to imagine such a brilliant individual was as dumb as a sack full of rocks and didn’t give instructions to set a completely separate and totally independent web site.
It is hard to imagine, but there in lies the answer, he did set up a new website and the remax branded pages were concealed within that site only ever found by potential customers who googled “remax onehunga” or something similar. Interestingly the bogus “Remax” branded pages had a different email address “martinhoney@gmail” all other ray white branded pages within the same site referred customers via “martin.honey@raywhite.com” so there you have it. As we have already said the case has yet to be heard in a real court of law!
I know you will and I expect you to correct me if I’m wrong here but in a nut shell and in simply terms what has happened re Dermot Nottingham is he felt aggrieved at the actions of Martin Honey.
Mr Nottingham has laid a complaint with the REAA. Mr Honey as a result of that complaint has counter claimed against Mr Nottingham alleging harassment.
Mr Nottingham’s complaint has been dealt with and Mr Honey’s is still being investigated.
You, The Team @ Lauda Finem are saying……………..

This is absolutely disgraceful as far as I am concerned. I take it Dean has not continued with his threat to sue.
I expect that Dean has at last taken some good advice from his good friend John van den Heuvel because John once headed the police cyber/Ecrime unit and I’m quite sure ‘online intimidation’ and ‘stalking a 14 year old child’ fall under that organizations umbrella. Not to mention John was part of the police Child Abuse team.
“Dean Winter is also the subject of an ongoing corruption investigation”
Can you tell me who exactly is investigating?
Hi Thomas
Mr Nottingham reported Martin Honey Ray White real estate (as he was legally required to under the Act) because they had been nicking a Remax competitors customers using bogus webpages designed to look like a genuine Remax site. Note: We understand that that case against Honey has not been dealt with and is still on foot and it may yet find its way up to the High Court.
Winters lawyers threat to sue was a hollow attempt to silence Lauda Finem at a time when they believed that Nottingham owned Lauda Finem, false information which Winter and others had located on ACCForum (the same page you refer to above). Their problem is that Lauda Finem (excluding comments made by readers such as yourself Thomas) only ever posts the truth.
You have also asked “Can you tell me who exactly is investigating?”
The Team @ Lauda Finem are investigating this case amongst many others, that’s why we appreciate your contribution; the information you and others have been emailing us.
Hi Thomas,
Let us help you with the struggle you’re apparently having. From what we have been able to glean the key accforum members do not like Nottingham because he refused to act for a woman, Evonne Puru, who was attempting to defraud ACC for a second time, and yes you’re right a number of the disparaging comments left on that site have been placed there by members of police and ACC staff. Lauda Finem in fact recently caught one ACC staffer red handed posting defamatory material online:
http://laudafinem.com/tag/black-operations-unit/
As for the polices dislike of Mr Nottingham, Dean Winter is but one cop in a long list, over three decades, that has had a crack at Nottingham. On the face of it the police harassment seems to have its origins in Mr Nottingham having exposed a number of attempted police white washes, serious police corruption and incompetence over the years.
Whilst Mr Nottingham’s varied and successful campaigns are too numerous to list here some media material relating to them can be found on both the http://www.nzherald.co.nz and http://www.stuff.co.nz, (simply enter his name in the site’s search box at the top centre and right of the page), or alternatively on http://www.advantage-advocacy.co.nz where you will find a far more comprehensive archive listed under “campaigns“.
We have however also obtained TVNZ archival footage which we will be posting online at some point in the future. An interview on the New Zealand TVNZ Paul Holmes Show with New Zealand Police associations fucktard Greg O’Connor is particularly interesting as are a number of 60 Minutes expose’s unearthing New Zealand corruption.

The Team @ Lauda Finem
I am struggling to understand precisely what is going on here and why. Especially considering I know the people involved.
Take Dean Winter for example.
It is recorded that He decided to ma ke some checks of his own with contacts in the Police,
I have ask what is or was wrong with John Edwards the solicitor who undertook the REVIEW OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MR JONATHAN MOSS TO A POSITION IN THE REAL ESTATE AGENTS AUTHORITY.
He would have known that any checks, out side normal channels with police, were illegal. Surely as a solicitor if he was going to record that Dean Winter made ‘checks’ he should have condemned them as being illegal and that they should not have been relied on.
Then there is this………… Janet Mazenier to Steve Haszard
Wednesday 3 March 6:49 pm
Steve, fyi Dean and Jon are interviewing Jon Moss on Saturday in Wellington. Dean’s
reaction at our meeting this afternoon appears to have been driven off the fact that Jon
M’s CV is so rich so he did a bit of research which resulted in him finding out about the
situation regarding the complaint. Dean does reflect the fact that the universal view is
that Jon M fell on his sword , was cleared and was targeted […] and deserves a break, so
there is no judgment remaining there by Dean.
Janet Mazenier must be as silly as John Edwards because she is apparently not aware that the ‘checks’ or ‘a bit of research’ the Dean Winter undertook were illegal.
What is more disturbing here is the comment she claims Dean made re Moss’ expulsion from police and goes as follows…………………….
‘the fact that the universal view is
that Jon M fell on his sword , was cleared and was targeted […] and deserves a break’
Sorry Dean you have effectively implicated more than John van den Heuvel in this you have also implicated HR at PNHQ.
I am beginning to wish I never came to this site.
However after reading about the troubles Mr Nottingham has been having I have decided to add my six penneth worth.
Firstly I do not know nor have I ever met Mr Nottingham.
My understanding is that Mr Nottingham has laid a complaint against another real estate agent or agency claiming that he, Mr Nottingham, had suffered as a result of unacceptable actions committed by the other agent or agency.
It appears that the agent or agency Mr Nottingham complained about is counter claiming Mr Nottingham harassed him and a complaint of harassment is being investigated.
I first became aware of the dispute after watching an interview Mr Nottingham, I presume, posted on Youtube.
I don’t have and nor am I entitled to have an opinion of Mr Nottingham he like every citizen in this country is entitled to be heard and to be treated fairly and reasonably.
What concerns me is this. Mr Nottingham has, it appears, accumulated quite a fan club of detractors. I haven’t taken the time, and nor do I intend doing so, to read everything there is to read and know about Mr Nottingham but I have read a little of this site.
http://accforum.org/forums/index.php?/topic/11189-dermott-nottingham/
Just glancing through I see not only condemnation of Mr Nottingham but it seems mostly condemnation as a result of his past and not so much his complaint with the REAA. Those rantings are not in my opinion worth a second glance because I have concluded that they have been made by serving police or disgruntled former police.
Now to his complaint laid with the REAA.
I wouldn’t have taken much notice of this either had it not been for the fact that I know Dean Winter. New Zealand’s Real Estate Agent Authority (REAA) head of operations, Dean Winter October 2009-October 2012.
There are two things I find disturbing about Dean Winter’s involvement in this matter the first is unrelated or related indirectly.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/2518969/Businessman-caught-in-web-of-deceit
Detective Sergeant John van den Heuvel said there was a sinister aspect to it. It was still unclear how Brown obtained all Mr Winter’s details. …………………………….
What is more sinister and quite disturbing is John and Dean were ‘best man’ at each others weddings. They were both in the police dive squad. They own a boat together. Their families holiday together. These two are best mates.
Dean Winter left police disgruntled and in dispute.
What on earth was going on here this is quite clearly a conflict of interest.
The second thing I find disturbing is this.
REVIEW OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MR JONATHAN MOSS TO A POSITION IN
THE REAL ESTATE AGENTS AUTHORITY
17. On receipt of the CV, it appeared to Mr Winter that Mr Moss was almost too good to be true. He had been a senior investigator with the Police, and appeared over‐qualified for the position of investigator. He decided to ma ke some checks of his own with contacts in the Police, and discovered that he had left the Police during the course of an investigation into a relationship with a constable.
He decided to ma ke some checks of his own with contacts in the Police,
Quite clearly the checks Dean Winter made were through his best friend John van den Heuvel.
As far as I am able to ascertain there is no requirement for an applicant to a position in the Real Estates Agents Authority to undergo a police vetting.
What was the purpose of the checks considering there is no requirement to vet an applicant. If checks were necessary they would have had to have been made through proper channels.
What of the individual Dean Winter was checking on considering a lot of people mentioned earlier at http://accforum.org/forums/index.php?/topic/11189-dermott-nottingham/ have had a lot to say about Mr Nottingham’s past.
Jon Moss is a disgraced ex-cop.
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10599749
Senior policeman resigns over old work affair
A high-ranking police officer has resigned after his superiors were alerted to an affair he had with a junior colleague.
Superintendent Jon Moss was in charge of the department that recently ordered police officers to disclose office romances, but resigned from his Wellington-based role after failing to report his relationship with a constable.
He had been on annual leave since police hierarchy became aware this month of an undisclosed historical relationship with the officer.
A week ago, police national headquarters spokesman Jon Neilson said police were “looking into a number of issues raised about a relationship that ceased a number of years ago”.
There similarities between Jon Moss leaving police and Dean Winter.
Both left police one some what more disgruntled than the other but Jon Moss appears not to have been married at the time of his affair, as far as I understand.
It appears that Dean Winter has now taken up a new assignment with Crown Law. Legal Services industry
October 2012 – Present (1 month) Crown Law
A new role in Crown Law, reporting to the Deputy Solicitor-General (Criminal). The role is to establish a unit which will provide effective supervision of the Crown Solicitor network, manage the relevant appropriation and maintain relationships with the aim of delivering efficiencies and enhanced service delivery. The unit will also provide oversite of prosecution services by other Government Agencies, supporting a high-quality and cost effective public prosecution service.
I have come to the conclusion based on what I have read and presented here that every person prior to October 2012 who laid a complaint with REAA was potentially subjected to a ‘check’ by Dean Winter through his contacts in the Police.
I also believe that Mr Jon Moss as a result of Dean Winter’s corrupt practices is also in a position to make the same checks.
I am finding it difficlt to see any where that all of this is fair and/or reasonable.
I have to say if Dermot Nottingham thinks Winter has access to information on police file he now knows how he got it or who he got it from.
Thanks Thomas,
We know that Mr Nottingham is a regular reader of Lauda Finem so we’re confident that if he hadn’t already been aware of Winters current police connections he soon will be. If you have any other information that you’d like to share with us you can email us here at; laudafinem@bigpond.com
What’s even more sinister is that these two were ‘best man’ at each others weddings.

Hi Thomas, that is indeed very sinister; but at the same time very interesting
