Business Wire "US Press Releases "
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 20, 2006--
Universal Express Inc. (OTCBB: USXP) President and CEO, again discusses the national scandal of "naked shorting" in his interview on MoneyTV (http://www.emergingcompany.com/volume10week32.htm). Mr. Altomare has been a prominent and outspoken critic for over ten years, in press releases and interviews, on the adverse effect of "naked shorting" on public companies, their stockholders, investors and employees. Universal Express is the only recipient of $700,000,000 judgments against "naked shorters."
Mr. Altomare agrees with other CEOs and prominent critics of "naked shorting," including the recent interview with Dr. Patrick Byrne at http://www.vmsdigital.com/MyFiles.aspx?Onum=98804A53-200D-4669-B83B- 89ED5D089168, and the personal safety warning and support related to Dr. Byrne by Senator Orrin Hatch, Ranking Republican on the Select Committee Intelligence of the United States Senate. Mr. Altomare, has written to the Company's United States Senators in Florida and New York (Senators Martinez and Nelson of Florida and Senators Clinton and Schumer of New York) seeking support on the important message of possible personal safety concerns of prominent critics of "naked shorting".

"As Universal Express has planned for sizable acquisition announcements, our CEO's safety is paramount due to the enormous financial issues that may become evident," stated Chris Gunderson, the General Counsel of Universal Express.
Mr. Gunderson concluded that, "the SEC has condoned and fostered the issuance of billions, if not trillions, of counterfeit and unregistered securities sold by the "naked shorters" into the market place for many years, in violation of the Counterfeit Statutes and Securities Laws of the United States."
