Editorial transcript for review. Lightly edited for readability. This is first-person oral history and does not replace the record’s filed evidence. Brackets identify uncertain wording or spelling.

As Wiremix and NextLevel were keeping things together and growing, a third piece of the puzzle came in—a guy we were suspicious of working with, and probably should have been. His name was Mitch White. He was also part of the Starnet group, and he created a gaming company called CYOP Systems.

CYOP Systems had technology people from Starnet programming the games. Mitch suggested, “Why don’t we put everything under CYOP? We’re going to take the whole thing public. It’ll be public; it’s already filed. Everybody will own a big chunk, we’ll get some great financing, and that’s what we’ll do.”

We started down that road. Mitch moved his people in, and we had a pretty cramped office. A couple of other projects had sprung from there too. One was SurfStereo, which at the time we regarded as the first pure online radio station.

Because we were doing work with CFOX, we had people copy some of the song carts, and we had our own digital jukebox. There were no rules and no regulations. We launched SurfStereo to great fanfare, and the servers were going nuts.

For a short period, our servers were at Internet Direct. When we launched, we got a phone call from Jay [surname unclear], with whom I had arranged an exchange of server time for advertising. His warning was: “Whatever you guys are doing, stop it now or I’m turning the switch off.”

We quickly realized we needed our own server farm and our own Internet capacity. We decided to get an OC-3, which I believe was approximately a 150-megabit line—I need to verify that. It was a big deal for us. We were one of the few companies in Vancouver with a line that large, and we were going to need it.

We obtained it through another company whose line came through Harbour Centre, the old Sears building in downtown Vancouver. Somehow we got it over to us; there was copper and fiber involved. A press release and news release came out, and off we went. We had our own server farm and our own Internet.

Now it was time to put more material on those servers. That will bring in names everybody knows: Britney Spears, Madonna, Backstreet Boys and many more. That’s coming next.

Why this record exists

Transition Significance

CYOP is the corridor between NextLevel's private Internet-business record and a later public-market chapter.

Contemporary CYOP filings establish Mitch White's leadership, his earlier Starnet background, and Patrick Smyth's move from NextLevel into CYOP management. A later SEC-filed biography says Benny Doro negotiated the 2002 sale of NextLevel to CYOP. That is enough to establish a transition worth preserving, but not enough to compress every entity and relationship into one clean merger story.

New York and Wall Street belong to later Executive Records. This exhibit stops at the documentary threshold.

The chronology becomes the story

From private operating companies to a public filing record.

The exhibit follows the corporate documents and leaves memory visible as memory.

1999–2000

A public-company shell acquires an operating identity

The Nevada registrant began as Triple 8 Development Corporation. In 2000 it adopted the CYOP name and acquired the Barbados company in a reverse-acquisition recapitalization.

Source basis · SEC corporate history and financial-statement notes
2001

Leadership and transaction technology

Mitch White entered the filed leadership team. CYOP described a multimedia transaction-platform business built around Moshpit and CrediPlay, while its registration statement also preserved White's earlier Starnet background.

Source basis · Filed SB-2, management biography, and ownership disclosures
2001–2002

Assets and relationships move

The CrediPlay sale-and-license-back and Moshpit disposition are documented. The adjacent movement of NextLevel is reported later, but the archive has not yet recovered the contemporary agreement needed to settle the sequence.

Source basis · CYOP 8-K, amended SB-2, BC government decision, later SEC biography
After 2002

The corridor opens into another chapter

CYOP continued as an online gaming and transaction-technology company. For Business Vault, the important boundary is narrower: this is where the documented public-market environment enters the career chronology.

Source basis · SEC filing history; later consequences deliberately deferred

The phrase “NextLevel sale negotiation” is retained as an under-verification relationship because it derives from later SEC biographical material. It is not treated as a contemporary transaction document.
