Oh, there is a reality check in the mail . . . but it isn't addressed to Sam or anyone at 3ABN . . . but will certainly give a clear picture of things . . .
We have been asked to "speculate" on the jubilation of SAM and group.
One is left to conclude that whatever it is that has so many excited about so little is clearly wanton or 3ABN would have already trumpeted the same in an official news release on their own website. Therefore, we will put our ears to the ground and see if we can hear hoof-beats that even begin to justify a handshake, let alone celebration.
1)The bad news is that Remnant has been ordered to produce and so 3ABN has scampered back to court to try once again to obstruct the production.
2)The good news is that at the last minute they filed a belated and wholely inappropriate motion to quash a subpoena to which they are not even parties to in Southern Illinois to prevent the production of the auditors paperwork. But it will be opposed and the law supports the production...that's the bad news.
3) ANd they have filed another motion just before they were to produce documents based on their own stipulation of June 11 requested way back in December 2007. So, we are left with a whole pile of BlackSDA production, Maritime Production and a few odds and ends declared "confidential" and designed to make it look like they are producing, when they are largely non-substantive responses yet again. Still nothing, nadya, nein, regarding the alledged allegations against Linda, to mention just one that we have been waiting for with "baited breathe".
And I would recommend you not "hold your breathe" waiting!!!
4) We have a Rule 11 issue pending that would seem a bit problematic for that new lawyer they are so excited about, Gregory Simpson. And of course that would probably lead to a formal compalint to the bar, but shouldn't be a problem for a man that sits on the ethics committee.
5) Judge Saylor extended the "ALL" Discovery pursuant to our Motion for Extention for another 90 days. Probably won't be the last!!!
I simply must be missing something, and I fear not even the Lord knows what, but there has just not been much good news, except a much bigger legal bill with Simpson charging three hundred ($300) dollars an hour to close all those leaking holes in the dyke!!! Maybe Peter or Hanzel would be more effective and cheaper!!!
Now, if 3ABN is "exonerated" why would they want to continue to block discovery essential to the question of "private inurement" and "director oversight" of the financial affairs? Seems as though they would be happy for us to have all that exonerating documentation; and I doubt we have asked for anything anywhere near the information that the IRS asked to look at.
In fact, Simpson recently addressed the IRS Investigation documentation in a ludicrous effort to prevent us from getting access to those records. They would have to eliminate the "per se" allegations to even get close to calling such records "Irrelevant"; then eliminate allegations relevant to private inurement; and don't forget eliminating the allegations relating to the board of directors, etc.
And, ANYMAN has made it clear "it isn't addressed to Sam or anyone at 3ABN" so we must conclude the weight of the evidence weighs heavily against anything even close to an "exoneration" of the old Board or Danny Lee Shelton.
Although, one cannot eliminate the possibility that the board let Danny Lee Shelton audit himself and then wrote his own letter to the board "exonerating" all of them. Now that would be news worth a roll in the parking lot, or any available floor. Worthless, but hilarious.
Will keep you posted, but that is the view from here in the bunker!!!
