Why, for so little gain, beyond reputational and a few million dollars, pennies to them, are Ross Levinsohn of Yahoo and Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital, still so determined to get away with defrauding Worddiamonds?

What has compelled them to attack us for these last 4 years- stealing all our development funds, destroying Worddiamonds patent pending website, and telling us how worthless we are, how unimportant, and bullying and threatening us at every turn? Why have they stopped the trial that exposes their fraud by the spurious argument they are now bankrupt? Come on, they are not bankrupt. Except it seems morally.

Their continued attempts at misinterpreting the law has never varied. Because they think it is so easy to get away with! They count on lies, lawyers, bullying and threats to make way for them. This is their modus operandi. 

Not all of the one percent of the %1 are dishonest.

But Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital and the attorneys for Ross Levinsohn of Yahoo are furious that they as yet, haven’t completely buried us, outspent us, outbuzzed us. They cannot understand why their raging, threats, and bullying  isn’t working. So they continue. Its all they know. They cannot afford for this to be made public, and aired in an open court. It is unthinkable to them. But the more they lie, the higher the stakes.

  They are determined to prove our faith in God is wrong. They can’t stop scoffing at us- to them, we are so vulnerable, so easy to squash like a bug.  They are the Goliaths. We are David, with some stones, and a sling shot. We trust God to see us through, in His way, in His time, for His purposes.

Worddiamonds is free- we have not built this for the purposes of making money. But certainly we never expected everything to be stolen from us, by supposed pillars of the community, and for such chump change for these gentlemen. It’s a big Wow.

Ross Levinsohn of Yahoo’s attorneys managed  to confer ahead of time (last Friday) with the judge before this morning’s hearing. 

The court clerk came out of the courtroom at 9:28 to announce the hearing was concluded before it’s 9:30 scheduled time to begin.

We were told all the proceedings are now put off until this October 25.

This was quite a play, as this happened at exactly two minutes before the proceedings were scheduled to start.

Usually both sides are supposed to present their case before the judge.

There is nothing wrong with playing hardball, but, there is something wrong with at every turn trying to get around the law and cheat.

Today’s hearing was in a bankruptcy court. Mr. Levinsohn and Mr. Hall have declared bankruptcy. How you may ask did they get away with that. Seriously.

They don’t look poor. Mr. Levinsohn took home an almost $12 million dollar payday last year. Mr. Allen’s purpose for defrauding us was, among other things, to provide himself a tax write-off on an investment gain of $85 million dollars during that time period.

Well, they actually haven’t gotten away with their bankruptcy ploy quite yet. That’s what this morning’s hearing was about. Instead, Mr. Levinsohn’s attorneys got to the judge ahead of time, to again attempt to delay this case,  CIV494701 in the San Mateo County Superior Court, from going forward.

After we insisted that we too be allowed to appear before the judge- usually both sides are given the opportunity to present their case, not just one side- the clerk did ask the judge to allow us to speak with him also.

After hearing us, the judge agreed that there was no need to delay this case from going forward, and have given the other side an additional five days. You know, let’s give them another chance to throw yet another wrench into the case going forward.

Evidently the defendants and their attorneys feel entitled to not have to obey the law. In fact, this entire case is an illustration of the many instances these defendants have not obeyed the law. That is exactly what this case is about. This morning the defendants displayed another instance of their cunning in getting around the law and the court system.

What will they think of next?

press release- SiliconValley VC JuryTrial Starts 2-27-1

There is no personal animosity on our part towards anyone in this case. While unrelenting animosity has been expressed towards us, attacks and threats of a personal nature, that is not the motivation on our part.

The depositions themselves tell the story of the contemptuous attitude these men exhibit towards the law. We are merely saying, it’s not all right to aggressively try and convince someone to invest more money in your start up, when they have clearly and repeatedly declined to do so again; and, by lies, false promises, ending in outright fraud no less- to then try to blame them publicly, for your business’s failure. It’s not alright to commit fraud! It’s not all right to do that. It’s not all right to leave that person with nothing, to destroy what it took years for them to build, in an attempt to get them “to freak out and throw more money at it” directly into your pockets, to purportedly fix it. And it’s not all right, especially if your pockets already contain billions, to commit fraud merely for a tax write off. This is about illegal activities being conducted by those who present themselves as pillars of the community. This is about getting justice gentlemen. But mostly, this is about standing up to bullies.

There needs to be a standard set- without a baseline of justice, Silicon Vallley will be more ruinous to this country than all the bankers that have been sucked into the powerful vortex of greed combined.

Prominent atheist blogger converts to Catholicism

Leah Libresco, an atheist blogger, is converting to Catholicism.
By Dan Merica, CNN

Washington (CNN) – She went from atheist to Catholic in just over 1,000 words.

Leah Libresco, who’d been a prominent atheist blogger for the religion website Patheos, announced on her blog this week that after years of debating many “smart Christians,” she has decided to become one herself, and that she has begun the process of converting to Catholicism.

Libresco, who had long blogged under the banner “Unequally Yoked: A geeky atheist picks fights with her Catholic boyfriend,” said that at the heart of her decision were questions of morality and how one finds a moral compass.

“I had one thing that I was most certain of, which is that morality is something we have a duty to,” Libresco told CNN in an interview this week, a small cross dangling from her neck. “And it is external from us. And when push came to shove, that is the belief I wouldn’t let go of. And that is something I can’t prove.”

The ability to do something is not the license to do it. But without a moral compass, there are those whose only requisite is ‘can we or can we not get away with it’. That is not a moral compass.

The persistent attempts by the defendants to contort the law to bend it to their own purposes is the same bad faith modus operandi they consider perfectly acceptable. ‘Everyone does it’..? Really?

So you think its alright to declare yourselves bankrupt to stop the trial so that your fraud will not be exposed in public? Obviously you consider that fine, that’s why you are doing it.

Worddiamonds is a sincere, modest effort to simply publish the Bible in a new way for the internet. It’s truly stunning the lengths the defendants Steve Hall of Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital, Ross Levinsohn of Yahoo, Nova Spivack et.al. have gone to, to prevent Worddiamonds from being developed and moving forward, even to the extent of having it dismantled, destroying its functionality for some bizarre notion that this would impel us to “freak out and throw more money at it” (Spivack).

This is the company that they stole all the development funds from and tried to publicly blame to cover their own efforts to simply cash in while publicly saving face, by appropriating Radar Networks- which they still own, in the form of Evri, ( although they are trying to force the courts to accept their declarations of bankruptcy.)

BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH IT. We seemed to them so vulnerable and naive- a female president- so guileless, honest, so WEAK..that it would be like swatting away a miniscule ‘obstacle’ as they referred to us.

For  years these men have told us in every way they can think of, that we are worthless, that they could care less, that we are underserving of being treated with any consideration, that they have dignified us by stealing our funds and destroying our website, because it gave them the appearance of making a ‘soft landing’ by their peers, and an opportunity to get a tax write off on an $85 million dollar investment gain of another investment.

That they have value whereas our small company is a blip, so negligible, that their actions are perfectly justifiable as seen from their point of view, and that they will bury us with lawyers, delays, every trick in the legal book, as well as with slander, with that disparaging buzz, along with the multitude of lies with which they seem to believe everyone does business.

Is that true? Is this what happens in Silicon Valley? Wasting the courts time and limited budget.. it’s not just Worddiamonds they could care less about… why would an American register one of his yachts in the Cayman Islands? Is tax evasion by one of the richest Americans a good enough reason for fraud, as was perpetrated against Worddiamonds by Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital just to gain a tax write-off on a capital gain of $85,000,000? It is evidence of this as well as other questionable practices that these defendants are so frightened will come to light. Tax evasion is just the tip of the iceberg.

press release- SiliconValley VC JuryTrial Starts 2-27-1

The trial that had been scheduled for over 2 years to begin this past Feb. 27, 2012, was shut down the night before it was to begin, after Steve Hall, of Vulcan Capital, and Ross Levinsohn, of Yahoo, announced they too are a creditors of Radar, the company they engineered the shutdown and sale of, to a company called Evri.

Steve Hall sat on the boards of and effectively controlled both Evri and Radar.

The acquisition committee which allowed the fraudulent conveyance to take place and selectively transfer all of Radar’s assets to Evri was comprised of Mr. Levinsohn alone. He decided to ignore the law and just “see what happens”, confident that with money and muscle, by bullying, threats and intimidation, this fraud could prevail, dismissing any concern or regard for the law or any consequences unrelated to his own gain.

Ross Levinsohn and Steve Hall declaring at literally the very last minute before the trial was to begin [see case CIV494701 online at the San Mateo County Superior Court website] that they both are now also creditors of Radar, was done solely for the purpose of stopping the trial.

Although Mr. Levinsohn remarked that Mr. Hall’s conduct was ‘evil’, he went along with it anyway. Both of them now claiming they are creditors of the same company they orchestrated the shutdown and sale of, is another bad faith effort on both their parts to prevent their fraudulent activities from coming to light.

Having failed in their efforts to have the trial dismissed, and having failed at having the mountain of evidence, which is sky high, of their fraudulent activities excluded from being presented in front of a jury, here again is another instance of the lengths Mr. Hall and Mr. Levinsohn are willing to go ‘to get away with murder’ by perversely declaring they and others are actually owed money from the company Mr. Hall bought and shut down, (Mr. Levinsohn being complicit), [See TechCrunch, ‘Evri buys Radar’] while at the same time also boasting that Mr. Allen has never said ‘no’ to him.

This manipulation of the law to pervert it’s intent is of a piece with the fraud perpetrated on Worddiamonds. The disdain of the rights of others, the condescending dismissal and relentless disparagment, to objectify as a mere “obstacle” to their fraud, the rights of anyone other than themselves, has been demonstrated to the nth degree. For the movie version of the book that is coming out which documents this entire saga, their depositions alone will provide the actors with what are displays of such sneering smugness, the audience will be falling on the floor with laughter. Mr. Hall and Mr. Levinsohn’s attempts to obscure their actions with bogus legal acrobatics that mock not only our legal system but the law in general continue what is almost a parody of the white collar shell games sprouting up throughout the land.

How many others has Vulcan or Mr. Levinsohn stolen from, harassed, slandered, bullied, threatened, hacked, and much much worse, with such relentless intent to steal, oppress, destroy, and now cover up, using, at every turn, such spurious contortions of the law?

We are asking for the prayers of believers so that all that has been perpetrated against Worddiamonds be exposed and defeated, and for restoration of all.

We are called to stand against evil, not to let it roll over us and others. “All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing’. This culture of greed and insider-trading with it’s dismissive attitude towards the law, is a cancer on our nation. It has to be confronted, even at the cost of our lives. Although taking a stand against corruption in this case has meant becoming a target of the most reprehensible slander- as if attempting to incite a mob in lynching, or burning at the stake, the one who speaks truth to power.

And yet we live in the United States of America, our freedoms preserved at the cost of mens lives. That imperceptible slide into the hypocrisy of the status quo is becoming, if not checked in time, an avalanche. Corruption brings ruin gentlemen, and ruin is not quantified by riches.

 In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
