(Greg Shepard's deposition) -- Neldon Johnson speaking.
You might wonder why Neldon attended Shepard's deposition.
**** Quote start ****
We have a problem that we feel like arose. I was not aware of any of these depositions coming up.
I didn't -- I was not told about the depositions coming up tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, until -- I wasn't even aware of those until Monday. And I had already -- we had already scheduled in business meetings for this week. And I was only aware that something would happen possibly on June, after June 1st or something like that. And that was -- this is the first time where I've been aware that I'm going to be deposed for four days. I haven't even had a chance to prepare for those depositions.
And so we are clearly at a disadvantage because of the situation that's not been created by me.
And so I'm really in a bad place because I have people coming in from outside the country that I have already scheduled this week for in working out possibly a sale of the company on the foreign market. And it would certainly be a disadvantage to me in my business decisions.
But I don't know how I could get these people notice that they have to make other arrangements in their business meetings when I wasn't fully aware of all these meetings.
In fact, I was not even aware of the bifurcation that was taking place, hearings. And so I'm clearly at a significant disadvantage of not being an attorney and lacking the knowledge that is required to make the various motions that might affect the case involving myself. But I clearly couldn't even make any objections to anything that would involve any of the other defendants.
And so because of that, I feel like that I'm really put in a bad situation. And so I feel bad about the situation.

Like I said above ... You might wonder why Neldon attended Shepard's deposition.
That's a pretty interesting story all by itself. Read the entire deposition. It answers a lot of questions.
It also creates a lot more.
Like, why didn't Neldon's lawyers inform him of the multiple depositions he was facing. That would be a major error on their part. Were they incompetent lawyers?
Or, maybe you will wonder if Neldon's lawyers did inform him, but he didn't take them seriously.
Or, maybe he wasn't concerned because he "knew" he had done nothing wrong?
Well, whatever ... these court proceedings are pretty interesting.
Apparently, the "people coming in from outside the country" that he "already scheduled this week" for "working out possibly a sale of the company on the foreign market" didn't buy the company.
Bummer.
I'm wondering *which* company he was considering selling?
Was it International Automated Systems, where Neldon owns 80%+ of the stock, and a sale would have made him a *very* rich man? Many of the IAUS shareholders, who have been waiting for DECADES, would have approved of a sale like that.
Or was it one of the other companies (RaPower-3, LTB, SOLCO, XSunEnergy, etc.) where a sale would have made him a very rich man ... just like if he sold IAS? But, in that case, the IAUS shareholders would not have approved of a sale like that, because they would not have benefitted. At all.
I'd like to hear some details on those negotiations. Why didn't they buy? Technology issues?
He did, of course, document all those negotiations.
Right?
And, he claims he didn't even know about the "bifurcation hearings"? Geez, that was a *significant* court ruling that went against the Defendants. He's saying he didn't even know about them? Good grief.
Not only that, he said he is "clearly at a significant disadvantage of not being an attorney and lacking the knowledge" ... yet he announced at the beginning of the court sessions a couple of weeks ago that he wanted to defend himself (Pro Se).
Fascinating, eh?
Sure is a pretty day.
