The CEO of Edunetwork Partners Inc. is Norman Alan Goldstein. The company was previously known as By Kids, For Kids Co. What happened to the latter? Bankruptcy?
Above is a photo of the illustrious Mr. Goldstein who passes himself off as a CEO, an entrepreneur, a good buddy of Warren Buffet, a life coach, and a good all-round gee-shucks kind of guy. In fact, he is a scammer.
It also appears that Golstsein lied to us about his association with Warren Buffet. The next image is an email I received from Mr Buffet's personal assistant denying any association with Edunetwork Partners and stating Mr. Buffet has not met Goldstein. Is the above photoshopped? Knowing Goldstein is a scammer, most likely. After a search of the New York State government listing of businesses incorporated in the state, it appears Goldstein's business is not incorporated even though he lists it as Edunetwork Parterns Inc. See below.
It appears Goldstein goes by several different aliases as follows: Norman A Goldstein, Norman Alan Goldstein,
Norman A Goldstein, Alan Norman Goldstein, and Norman Goldstein according to a reliable online source.The current office address for Edunetworks is 44 South Broadway Suite 100, White Plains, NY 10601 USA. It is less of an office and more of a mail drop. He actually works from his home at this address. 5 Deerfield Lane, Scarsdale, NY. This is a reasonably upscale residential area and his home is valued at around $2,500,000.

If you are wondering what my beef is with Goldstein, it concerns an agreement Goldstein and my company entered into in June of 2023.
He approached me and offered to raise finance capital for my company project. I should add that as well as running his company, such as it is, he also presents himself as a mentor and humanist, dispensing all manner of homilies and rules to live by on his website Coach Norm. He also references god in much of his correspondence, using cute little emojis of hands in prayer in emails and texts. He professes to be of the Jewish faith. Such a hypocrite.
Of course, as with all psychopaths, he does not live by the rules he counsels others to live by; his personal rule to live by as far as I am concerned is "never give a sucker an even break." Sound familiar? This phrase was coined by W.C. Fields in a movie of the same name and roughly translated means; "Take advantage of fools at every opportunity."
I must say at this point, I have been a fool here. I absolutely plead guilty.
I have known Mr. Goldstein for around three years. We connected online when I was searching for a marketing company for a project for children I have been developing. The original name of his company was By Kids For Kids. He professed to be a great marketer to kids and parents and had partnered with Warren Buffet on some projects including Buffet's " Secret Millionaires Club for Kids."
I carried out enough fact-checking online to be convinced he was legit. Little did I know! A little fact- checking is not enough.
Mr. Goldstein's claim of being a practicing Jew led him to boast he had many contacts in the Jewish community in New York State and - he had made a number of them a lot of money in the past.
He called this his investor base! More lies! As a sidebar, I do not think he is Jewish. Perhaps he, like George Santos, is Jew-ish.
He obviously also subscribes to a quote from the Protestant King James version of the bible, "A fool and his money are soon parted." And he positioned himself to be the partee. I, just as obviously was the fool.
My story about the dishonorable side of Goldstein begins back in July 2023 when, knowing I was having difficulty raising production capital for my kid's internet project, offered to raise up to $1.0M on the condition my company covered some of the out-of-pocket costs he would have to expend.
He claimed he had spent a weekend meeting with Mr Warren Buffet's people and had spoken to them about my project but could not say more as he was under an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). I guess I took the "Warren Buffet" bait at this time.
We eventually settled on a raise of $800K and our share of the costs was settled at $23,836.
An agreement was created and included the stipulation that if he was unsuccessful in raising said capital, he would return the $23,836.
The agreement was signed by both parties with an expiry date of 31st of October. This was later extended to November 30th at Mr. Goldstein's request and an addendum was signed to that effect.
He mentioned that he was spending a lot of money on lunches and dinners "at his club". By the third week in November, I had no clear idea if Mr Goldstein had carried out any capital raising and on being questioned he claimed investors were very reluctant given the state of world affairs.
We had a phone conversation at the end of November where he stated he was meeting with Warren Buffet's people in January and was very sure he could persuade them to invest the required capital. Could he extend our agreement until then?
I said no. I told him several shareholders had put up the money on the expectation their money would be returned in November and they wanted their money back - toot sweet!. I said the extended agreement expired on November the 30th and he had to adhere to the terms of the agreement. He told me he would get back to me.
Since then, we have not spoken and he does not return calls, emails or texts plus the company website was taken down. It is now back up but on a different provider.
I have had one text message from Goldstein advising me his brother-in-law was in hospital with liver failure and he was needed by the family. What that had to do with him returning my money has escaped me.
It is now almost 2 months since the financing part of the agreement expired where he was supposed to return the money, but to date, not a peep from him.
He is a coward. He has not answered a call, replied to voice mail or a text message since he reneged on our agreement. This is not the action of an honest man. I sent him several options to help resolve the issue. He has not responded. Now, he has hired a lawyer. So instead of standing up like MAN, he is hiding behind a a legal mouthpiece. What a coward this man is.
He did send me one text where he accused me of hacking his website and his company bank account. What a joke! I barely know how to troubleshoot my ISP let alone hack a damn bank account in the USA.
We have now sued Norman Alan Goldstein through the British Columbia court system. I find it amusing that he has the money to hire a lawyer but claims he does not have money to repay my company.
Here are some interesting links to the business dealings of the illustrious scheming, lying scammer.
