If this is so then that makes their actions even more despicable since their only motivation is greed. I wonder how they are able to look at themselves in the mirror. Again, is there no legal remedy for this behavior??? SH
He blames : "misinformation in a police report" OK, Rich - I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one.
"the presiding judge in the case questioned why the matter ended up in his court." Starting to make you wonder. Did the Judge not realize he/she could throw out the case, or remand it to another jurisdiction ? Poor Rich, not only does he have Bashers in high places, some of them don't even know the rules of the courts.
" the cost of the battle wouldn't have been worth the win." But Rich, you have enough assets to not only pay for a $1 Million stake in the Springs, but to also fund SecureView production: "The 20% purchase of the Warm Mineral Springs is a gift from me to the company. There's an open letter on our website (www.sevu.com) explaining the purchase. The SecureView funding coming through Morgan Stanley Dean Witter is from my personal holdings." http://www.seaview.com/n070500.htm
Don't say you planned to use your personal SEVU stock to fund the Springs purchase or SecureView production - you already told us that your SEVU stock was collateral for the $500,000+ interest-free loan from SEVU. BTW, where is that money now - in the Caymans ? Why not use the money now to clear these charges up now with a legal effort ?
"I decided not to fight that ruling either." Same story - see above item. So with such vast holdings, why not fight a criminal charge that you quaintly describe as "frivolous", that might possibly stain your record ad infinitum ? Either the charges are NOT frivolous, or there are no vast holdings. Which is it ?
"the legal community all felt this was a travesty" Seems like the "legal community" were the ones pressing the case. Is your "legal community" the junior patent lawyer you always refer to ?
"I tell the story often." Yeah, maybe, but not to the people that have a legal right to know - the SEC and stockholders of SEVU.
Rich, a little hint at a hard time like this - You forgot to mention the terrible Market Makers (MM's) as part of this conspiracy to Bash you personally. Or is that to come in the next "View from the Brig" ?
