"When the Security and Exchange Commission is reminded that it too must answer to the Constitution of the United States of America and the property laws contained therein, all Americans win," said Mr. Altomare.
"Their poorly thought-out 'Grandfather Clause' attempted to ignore the criminal shorting activities of market makers and the forgiven years blessed by the Security and Exchange Commission's belief that they alone create the rules from which our capitalistic democracy is built.
"There is a legal expression 'Falsus in uno, Falsus in omnibus' which translates to mean if you can lie and be wrong on one fact you are probably lying or wrong on all facts.
"Universal Express is proud to have been actively lobbying this issue and to always stand up for what is legal, moral and just.
"The Grandfather Clause is the first domino to fall on this prolonged and lonely position my General Counsel and I have stood up against for five years.
"The SEC is only a regulating agency, not a Gestapo-like organization to be feared. Its decisions are not infallible. Courts alone determine what is constitutional and what is unconstitutional. The Grandfather Clause was an illegal simplification of a shorting problem the SEC had permitted.
"The Clause no longer exists. Soon the SEC will have to answer for their treatment of us 'whistle blowers,' who dared to stand up despite the uncomfortableness of questioning the tactics of an organization which mistakenly believed itself to be above the laws of our nation.
"Let us never forget the SEC created an illegal law, illegally tried to enforce it, and now were forced to reverse the folly of their ways. Where is the restitution? When is the hearing? What about the companies that failed and the shareholders investments?
"When an authoritative, self-righteous, self-contained, governmental agency uses fear, illegal enforcement and intimidation, free-enterprise suffers. I am proud of our steadfast position, which we have taken against a previously untested bully. Today the bully left the playground. Tomorrow he'll be back; let us not forget that the bully must answer to a consistent democracy which has lasted over 220 years. Today the Grandfather Clause, Tomorrow an investigation into abuse of power and subsequent Congressional hearings," concluded Richard A. Altomare.
