Mr. Hall, whose jujitsu legal tactics continue to manufacture, out of whole cloth, scenarios to obscure his fraudulent scheme to defraud Kate Paley and Worddiamonds, now wants to teach us how to proceed- not in truth, but in tactics?

According to the perverse logic he employed in declaring Radar Networks bankrupt the day before a trial that was scheduled for 2 years to begin? Mr. Hall do you think this is a chess game? You own Radar Networks, and, you are not bankrupt, nor is Vulcan Capital or your boss Paul Allen. Don’t you have any shame?

It seems you are all so accustomed to such a cesspool of murkiness and half truths you really don’t see that Worddiamonds itself is based on the Bible, and the American legal system is also based on the  Bible, and that the full light of day and truth is shining on us.

The anger of the defendants attorneys is a wonder to behold- they are furious not to be getting away with legally twisting the truth, tactics that are second nature to them it seems.

 

 

Law360-  Calif. Judge OKs Deal Lifting Stay On Radar Fraud Suit 

 

A California federal judge on Friday agreed to approve a deal reached by the trustee overseeing Radar Networks Inc.’s bankruptcy proceedings that will allow a Radar investor’s fraud suit against former Yahoo Inc. CEO Ross Levinsohn and Vulcan Capital managing partner Steve Hall to go forward.

Attorneys for Kate Paley, a Radar investor who had been engaged in litigation with the company over the alleged fraudulent $3 million transfer before its bankruptcy, said Friday that U.S. District Judge Thomas E. Carlson accepted from the bench their motion to approve a deal that calls for Paley to fund the suit and turn over any money she makes to the trustee with the possibility of reimbursement.

The decision will allow the San Mateo Superior Court to lift its stay on Paley’s trial with Levinsohn, a Radar director who was Yahoo’s interim CEO until his replacement in July, and other Radar insiders who allegedly diverted money she lent to the company to another entity.

“Defendants invoked the bankruptcy stay as a delay tactic the night before trial was originally to begin, and today’s ruling ends more than five months of continued obstruction of the judicial process,” Doug Colt, an attorney for Paley, told Law360 Friday. “Ms. Paley looks forward to her day in court and is eager to resume trial of her fraud claims.”

Paley, the daughter of late CBS Corp. CEO William Paley, filed a complaint against Levinsohn, Hall, Radar founder Nova Spivack and third party company Evri Inc. in May 2010, alleging fraud, fraudulent conveyance, breach of contract and unfair competition.

The Radar “insiders” allegedly took a $3 million loan Paley had made to the company and improperly transferred it without authorization to Evri, a Vulcan Capital affiliate, which eventually bought Radar. Trial was scheduled to begin Feb. 27, but on that day the defendants stayed the action in state court pending Radar’s bankruptcy petition.

Paley argued in a motion to dismiss the Chapter 7 case that it was essentially a two-party dispute between her and the insiders, and that the bankruptcy was being used to thwart her prosecution of the state court action because the trustee did not have the funds to prosecute the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act claims.

The trustee reached an agreement with Paley in July, under which Paley would fund prosecution of the UFTA claims, choose the attorneys that prosecute the case, turn over any recovery to the trustee and subject any proposed settlement to the bankruptcy court.

Vulcan Capital’s Steve Hall objected to the agreement as “procedurally flawed” and argued that it would not be beneficial to the fair resolution of Radar’s bankruptcy proceedings.

He also claimed it would result in a conflict of interest for her counsel for ostensibly proposing to represent the debtor’s estate on the UFTA claims while simultaneously suing the debtor, but Judge Carlson deemed the stipulation appropriate.

Counsel for the defendants did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday.
