--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just received an email from Kevin West. He wasn't happy with my post about Hodges.

Here is his email. What I remember about phone conversations and emails he doesn't seem to remember and uses some of my emails back and forth to make his case.

I remember it differently. Phone and emails. But what I don't want to do is keep information going that I may have been mistaken on.

So with that; I regretfully post this as a retraction to what I still believe and remember things as. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe what I wanted to believe became my truth.

That said; I'm done. I will no longer comment on any of the stuff going on no matter how ridiculous it is. I'll come by and be sarcastic as always but that's it. There is much that we've ALL (both sides) been apparently mislead and posted about from our "sources".


I am sorry to the members here if I've mislead you in any way.

Someone please copy this to any board that cares ..............................with my sincere regrets.

Mike...

I am guessing here, but you must have some terrible things going on for you
right now in your life and you are just lashing out at everything and/or
just remembering bits and pieces of things and remembering it incorrectly.
If that is the case, I am sorry you are in so much pain and I wish you well.
You know in your heart that this is not even a close example of the truth.
True, I have stated many times in writing that the Company has never seen
the evidence that Al has nor have they ever found any documents that
indicate there is a trust, but I still believed and still believe today that
Al Hodges is here to try and bring about something good for the shareholders
that has thus far has remained elusive. I have never strayed from my support
of Al Hodges.

Bill or I may have told you at some point that if YOU feel that way then you
should maybe just try to accept that Al's efforts as unrealistic but know
that he is only doing what he believes is in the best interest of all
shareholders and to try and remember that this type of bashing only further
divides the shareholders... but I have never mentioned anything to you that
those were my beliefs. Maybe those thoughts have just become twisted for
you... I would hate to think you are just making them up for whatever the
reason Mike.

On top of it all; I would have never made one comment and especially not the
repeated comments I did about Al Hodges to shareholders in written format
(and still up on the website) if I had felt that way about Al. Keep in mind
that I said the same things that are in writing on the company website about
Al under oath in several legal matters even leading all the way up to the
Roger Glenn trial. People that know me also know that I would have told the
shareholders of any change I had in support of Al Hodges if I thought
anything was nefarious and would have given the reasons why. LOL... One
thing for sure, YOU would have not kept it all in until now. I do know you
better than that because I know or at least that I knew that you would not
hold such a thing back from shareholders... especially after I resigned.

(http://www.cmkmdiamondsinc.com/corp-updates.html June 25, 2010: I still
believe that CMKM Diamonds, Inc. was a victim of naked shorting or at the
very least had one of, if not THE, largest failure to deliver problems that
ever existed in the U.S. markets. I recently visited personally with
attorney Al Hodges at his office in Pasadena. Most of you are already aware
that Mr. Hodges is seeking the release of funds that he believes were
collected on behalf of the CMKM shareholders. I have known and remained
friends with Al Hodges ever since that fateful day in March of 2007 within
an hour or so after Urban Casavant turned the Company over to me. I find Al
Hodges to be extremely forthright, honest and fully believe he is working
only for the best possible outcome and benefit of all shareholders of this
Company. I was not privileged to the evidence that he maintains; However,
after my visit with him early this month it is my personal opinion that he
is 100% committed to his current actions and that he firmly believes,
without any room for doubt, that he has irrefutable evidence of funds being
held for eventual distribution to the CMKM shareholders and that he believes
that the release of those funds is imminent.)

Mike, you wrote me an email on January 15, 2011 and said the following:

"Please, please please. You've got to be kidding me. Please put out
SOMETHING that distances Tyler from Al Hodges. I'm begging and those
realistic members of my board are begging you. You can't actually think
and/or believe this moron has any chance in hell to find what he says
exists................exists. Please. It's so obsurd. And all the other
boards are hyping him up. You're doing the future of CMKX as a company a
great disservice to allow this idiot to put this out. I mean .80 per share?
Come on. I could by New York. Here's his latest update. I'm pretty sure
you've read it. But please....................say something?"

I did not respond to your email at all Mike. In fact, we didn't talk about
it via a phone call or anything else.

On January 25, 2011 you again wrote me the following email:

"I just wanted to ask you if I said and/or posted something that pissed you
off. I sent a couple of emails to you over the last couple of months and you
haven't responded at all. In the past, even if you disagreed with my
thought, you responded. I do hope I haven't offended you in any way. You
always have and will have my utmost support and respect for what you're
trying to do on our behalf."

Hopefully you will do the right thing and issue a retracement for your
statements. It's the only thing that will help to right this wrong and make
your heart at peace... it's all up to you, you have to live with it either
way. I am asking you to do the right thing Mike!


As for me, my heart is at peace with everything that has happened and I am
not getting involved in the drama past this one letter. If I know your heart
as I thought I did all of these years... you will do the right thing.

Well wishes to you and yours either way Mike....

Kevin

Mike, don't worry about it. The fact is Kevin has vacillated between reality and fantasy for years. Remember he specifically stated that Urban was a "Godly man" yet never recanted that in light of the facts. Kevin also said he thought gusjarvis was a good person and means well knowing that he is directly connected to Urban, and knowing that Dave deliberately twisted everything Kevin ever said to fit his ridiculous conspiracy (he even responded to Dave publicly about it) yet never recanted.

But, most disturbing is Kevin's undying support of Al Hodges... Knowing the fraud that took place in CMKM, knowing the facts, knowing the details of how the fraud was committed, Kevin still chose to support Hodges efforts casting aside the facts and once again putting his "faith" in Hodges regardless of him having absolutely no evidence to support his claims! This is the same blind faith he afforded Urban Casavant as well. Apparently, he does not learn from his past experiences.

Now, this should concern every shareholder. What private shareholder information has Kevin provided Hodges (if any?) Did he breach his fiduciary responsibility to the company and it's shareholders in his conversations with Hodges. Did he provide him with an updated MSL so that Hodges would have addresses for the fantasy "paymaster" to send checks to when he immediately traveled to CA to meet with Hodges after he resigned? I have no idea, but it certainly concerns me. Also disconcerting are the gaps in the TA transaction reports submitted in the Glisson case. I know the company had transactions, and we also know that Hodges did as well. Sure, those are not direct evidence in the Glisson case... Right? Or were they? I don't believe the company transactions are, but what of Hodges? We know that Marco used Hodges' bivens suit as a marketing ploy to sell more shares. We also know that some of Hodges' clients utilized Marco's services. So, it is no big leap to speculate some sort of link exists there. And most disturbing of all, exactly how many shares of CMKM did Kevin give Hodges to support his efforts? What did Hodges do with those shares? If true (and I have no reason to believe it isn't), did Kevin do this prior to his resignation, concurrent with his resignation or was it after? This is of utmost importance. If true, had this transaction occurred during Kevin's employment or BOD position, this would be a huge conflict of interest and breach of his fiduciary obligations and should be investigated thoroughly.

I can put up with quite a bit of nonsense. I've seen the mismanagement of recovered funds in CMKM, the idiocy on the part of management when they decided to spend and commit to spend prior to assets being secured (Can Cal to be specific). I've seen how those actions spawned additional fuel for the conspiratorial fires, suggesting the new TA was the vehicle for our settlement payments as that must be WHY we needed a transfer agent when the company didn't even have a pot to #### in nor a window to throw it out of. I've seen how the only skin in the game Kevin had was his time which was compensated btw. Yet those that fronted the money, paid the bills and juggled finances just to keep this bulshittium moving forward were continually questioned, disrespected and blamed for failed recovery efforts or the lack thereof.

I've said this many times in the past, but I'm going to say it one more time. Kevin and the previous BOD held the reigns and blew it for the rest of us. They controlled the efforts, yet turned around and blamed others for their own failures. They failed because their number one guy, Kevin, had his head up his ass for far too many years, and does so to this day as evidenced by his support of a lie.

Many of you may twist this as some sort of defense for Bill Frizzell, but he's not off the hook either. The reasons why Kevin and the previous BOD blamed Bill for the handling of the Glenn case as well as other recovery efforts do have merit. Procrastination is the real issue when it comes to Bill's efforts. I know of assets that absolutely nothing has been done with for years now, and it infuriates me! At first, I was convinced that the procrastination was due to the lack of funds to legitimately pursue those assets, but I am no longer convinced that is the case. Sure, the many years of effort causes a level of burn-out, but when that becomes a recognizable fact, then it's time to turn over that responsibility to an associate firm willing to take the lead. That never happened. I know that Bill is rebuilding his practice, and fully support that effort knowing CMKM will never fulfill any possible "retirement" plan for him nor any of us for that matter. But, I would be lying if I said I was 100% supportive of the effort or direction made.

There is plenty of blame to go around as far as CMKM is concerned. The mismanagement, the BOD fallout, the legal effort, and the mindset of those involved in those capacities, left us dead in the water. Thankfully, Steve stepped in and regardless of a few minor mis-steps (paltalk for example) he's done a great job trying to pick up the pieces and get this company moving forward once again. What really pisses me off though, is the previous BOD had his resume long before the "fallout" yet never acted on it then! Can you imagine where we would be today had they hired him back then? One can only speculate now.

I don't intend on providing any insights that may unintentionally negate any recovery effort going on today, but it is time we air out the real mess of our past, so that we can legitimately move forward. At least that's my believe. But, what do I know... I'm just a goodolboy.

I never worry. Thanks though.

I decided to post a retraction because of Kevin's email to me. I guess I felt I owed him that much. I still think Al Hodges is a nutjob and that CMKX should have distanced themselves from Hodges a long time ago. I still remember phone calls with Kevin and remember things differently than he, given the emails he decided to post in his response to me to have me change my comments against "that side".

I always want to share truth here and get the answers we all want and need. Kevin denies saying and feeling what I posted and I wasn't going to hide or not share his email because I think and/or remember differently so I shared it with you all instead of sweeping it under the carpet. There is his truth, and mine I guess and his selective memory and mine as well. My intentions are not to mislead but help bring ANYONE to justice that has taken advantage of ANY CMKX shareholder. NOBODY is off limits.

As Goodolboy posted, how could anyone in their right mind actually believe Hodges? The fact that Kevin says he does says one thing to me.............................................


....................................I'm glad he gone and resigned. Got DINARS?
I wish Steve K the very best and hope he is a more balanced, intellectually-sound individual. If he isn't, he'll be about as successful as Kevin was for the rest of us. I don't have my money back, the company isn't trading and nobody is in jail.

The recovered asset money is and has kept things going though. Course, that doesn't buy any milk for any of us this week does it? Oh well. It's only been like what.........................a couple of years?

Thanks for the support and private messages. Some of you really are terrific.





Nope, but Kevin does (or did.) I wouldn't be surprised if Kevin traded Hodges CMKM shares for dinars. I mean seriously, where did he get $12k worth of dinars? CMKM certainly didn't pay that well... or did it?
