I had thought my original reply on May 5, 2011 would have set much of this to rest. Unfortunately, it has not. This post is to serve as final clarification for the issues presented above.
Several key individuals have found a personal need to perpetuate falsehoods utilizing a limited and misleading scope of information. While I greatly support Internet free speech, and websites such as Complaint Wire that allow for open consumer dialogue, this is an instance in which “free speech” is not “accurate speech”, and individuals with personal agendas seek to distort truths. Nevertheless, in an open forum, parties from all sides are made welcome for discussion. Consider this is my annual reply for this false representations presented.
I am aware of the identity of the majority of individuals behind these posts. Should civil cases be necessary in regards to libel and false claims, Complaint Wire holds IP addresses of each poster, and a subpoena will be issued accordingly for each as necessary. I would prefer not to engage in legal action as such methods are generally an inefficient use of resources with little gained for either side. Nevertheless, should such a course be pursued, I remain wholly confident that all issues would be exonerated on my behalf, with several above Posters held at fault for intentional libel.
## I’ll address each key responder, and each issue.
One poster (1) is an ex-colleague with a history of differences in operational business philosophies. A separation occurred in April 2011, which led to the first post above (and several thereafter). The poster will undoubtedly post again, as he continues to do so on a periodic basis. Many posts have been deleted by websites similar to ComplaintWire for irrelevance and personal attack, but a few (such as this one) remain. This person will likely read this post, and deny this. Correlating IP addresses, and their subsequent physical locations, will fully verify these statements.
Another poster (2) is an individual who had an unrelated business relationship with Tom Patton. I am aware of some of the details, but not all. These transactions are unrelated to me, and the company I manage. It is noted that Tom Patton may have portrayed himself as having a working relationship with my company at the time, although I suspect the information was partially misrepresented and/or misunderstood. I am not here to pass judgment on these occurrences, as I was not present during those discussions. My company does not employ Mr. Patton. I have no quarrel with this individual and am both disappointed and surprised he has brought this to an Internet forum.
Another poster (3) appears to be an ex-shareholder of RIGH or BCAP. I do not know the identity of this person, nor have I interacted with this person to my knowledge.
## Regarding the issues presented
My civil and criminal record is pristine, outside of a few minor traffic tickets. I have never committed, nor been convicted, of any felony wrongdoing.
Poster #1 has made a claim of “theft”, however there is no civil suit filed nor criminal record associated with this. This person once did attempt a civil complaint. I proactively contacted the detective in charge, and the case was promptly closed with no charges filed. This was an erroneous accusation, and the detective felt similarly. Several interested shareholders of my company have contacted the detective in charge of this case, verifying these events, and associated opinions.
Tom Patton is not employed by my company. I do not hold correspondence with Tom Patton, and have not spoken to him in a very long time. His personal and business affairs are his own.
Poster #2 is aware of a previous (now disconnected) business relationship that I once held with Tom Patton for unrelated affairs. I have informed this poster via phone that I have no further relations with Mr. Patton, however, it seems from his postings that he feels differently. To be clear - my company has no involvement with, and has not benefitted from personal transactions by Mr. Patton.
My given legal name is Aaron Stanz. My nickname is “Angel”. This is similar to “John” and “Johnny”, or “Mike” and “Michael”. My father calls me Aaron, and my mother calls me Angel (I’m remarkably blessed that they are both still with me). Most friends and business associates refer to me as Angel, and occasionally on a lighthearted occasion, Angelo. The existence of a nickname does not represent underhandedness. It is simply a name. My legal first name and surname exist as they always have. I have never made an attempt to obscure this information.
The aforementioned Lisa Madigan case has been greatly misrepresented. This is not an appropriate forum to discuss details of this case, save for PROVISION 10 as directly quoted from the final case decree, “Defendants’ agreement to the provisions of this Order does not constitute an admission of liability for any of the violations alleged in the complaint”. Please note the carefully placed language of the word “alleged” in the above press release. This is a legal sidestep performed by the AG, knowing full well that the mutually agreed settlement holds no admittance of liability. Due to an error, individuals were mis-billed for US Credit Find services. All incorrect billings were refunded accordingly. This was not fraudulent in nature. Furthermore, Poster #1 is aware of these issues, was personally involved the court case, and is aware of these details too. I hold sufficient evidence to support these statements. It is unfortunate that Poster #1 utilizes this issue to obfuscate the truth and attempt personal gain through libel.
The employee referenced as a “freelance developer” was a full-time contractor at the time, however, he was not a significant contributor to the website design named. He performed a minor participation at my request on one particular page. Nevertheless, he remains a talented individual that has contributed many years of work to my companies as a full time contractor (not freelance). The link posted is his personal webpage. He was a staff manager over an entire office of employees, and I have a deep respect for his work and business acumen. However, the website design in question was performed entirely under my sole direction and I maintain documentation supporting these statements.
Baron Capital, led by “Dwyer”, is a legal debt holder in the company of which I am CEO, RightSmile, Inc., a publicly traded company on OTC Markets. The company has not yet undergone a formal name change, however all previous management has been fully removed (example: Mr. Schneider). These details are a matter of public record and may be researched accordingly. The “box job” accusations are libel. To the best of my knowledge, Baron Capital is a company that operates under legal provisions governing securities trading. As a result of recent mutual negotiations, all matured debt held by Baron Capital within RIGH was completely forgiven at modified rates greatly favorable to RIGH shareholders and RightSmile, Inc.. Furthermore, I hold control of nearly 90% of all shares associated with the corporation. This shareholder allocation and relief of debt are wholly inconsistent with the aforementioned “box job” accusations. I hold documents supporting these statements; these too becoming a matter of public record, as is the function of a publicly traded company.

What you are have read from previous posters is a thin veneer of obfuscation perpetuated by individuals seeking to inflict personal damage. Unable to resolve their claims through proper channels, they have moved to the Internet as an emotional outlet. I have no quarrel with any of them, except regarding the misrepresentation of information listed herein.
I write this to offset the false claims listed above, and speak solely for myself.
I would expect that this thorough explanation would end this thread, but I imagine that it may not. This is unfortunate. Nevertheless, I will not be drawn into further discussion through additional libel or false claims. Perhaps I will offer additional clarification in another year’s time, just as I had approximately one year ago.
Should any individual desire further information, please feel free to contact me at complaintwire@codezeromedia.com, a personal address I have set up specifically for those who may have further questions regarding these matters.
