‘JUSTICE IS THE PUBLIC FACE OF LOVE’  Cornell West

 

No one who has attempted to publish the Bible in a new way has been free from serious, life threatening, persecution.  We are blessed to have thousands, even millions, of friends, throughout the world, many of whom have been praying for us. Groups of thousands of intercessors have convened at different times over the past four years and asked God to intervene on our behalf, to foil and expose all wickedness, and pray for those who have so spitefully used and abused us.

 

It was Mr. Hall that directed Nova Spivack to use my investment for other than what it was agreed upon, we have the e-mails. It was Mr. Hall that boasted in his deposition that you have never said ‘no’ to him.

 

Mr. Hall and Mr. Levinsohn, you make Nova Spivack seem positively angelic compared to you both.

Mr. Levinsohn, if you are going to play politics, you’re never going to win playing with third string players, you knew that, right?

It’s because I’m a woman, isn’t it? It’s an automatic reflex to put women in their ‘place’.  And that I was born into such an enviable position?  I’m a chip off the old block fellas.

 

 

 

 

update 2: The Classic Shell Game As Illustrated by Vulcan Capital- ABOVE THE LAW?

So, is the message I am getting, that what an idiot I am to think the law is protection for the more vulnerable among us who are so often taken advantage of? That judges are to halt the unscrupulous is a fairy tale that everyone knows doesn’t happen? That you have to cheat and bully and lie to to make your way in this world, that you must be callous and disregarding of anyone’s rights or interests except your own? Is that the message these men are sending to others? I get only anonymous comments on the blog: people are scared of these guys.

I feel like I’m drilling through a concrete of corruption I had no idea was so wide and deep; apparently I still haven’t come to the end of it. Continuing these machinations only provides even more evidence of how they consider themselves above the law, and a law unto themselves, answerable to no one.

 

 

 

 

‘Substantial’- Thank you for this opportunity to illustrate, with one new painting a day, what ‘substantial’ means to me…

Quoting Richard Oldenburg, of the Museum of Modern Art in New York,

 in the catalogue of my Dad, William S. Paley’s, collection of paintings, about working with Dad.

“His advice was always an implicit reminder that institutions, like individuals, must have a strict sense of honor.

 Mr. Allen, ‘substantial’ would be the value of my Dad’s paintings on view at the De Young in San Francisco, wouldn’t you say? Just so we’re clear on the terms. For a man worth $14 billion dollars who is not afraid to boast about it, and goes out of his way to show off his knickknacks, I’m sure you can agree that that would be a ‘substantial’ amount.  In that case, we do have a deal.

The trial should be very interesting if it goes forward. All of you have demonstrated, as you have just kept trying to strong arm Kate Paley unrelentingly for going on 5 years, expressing your contempt, exceptionably notable in the 3 days of grueling deposition you put her through, that you go through life without a thought or care for anybody but yourselves, and that you truly believe no one has any worth or value except yourselves. Its been quite remarkable to witness this up close and personal as it were. To be the direct recipient, etc. Who would have thunk it?

“And he spake a parable unto them, saying,

the ground of a certain rich man brought forth

plentifully; and he thought within himself, saying,

what shall I do, because I have no room where
to bestow my fruits?
And he said, this will I do:
I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and
there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
And I will say to my soul, soul, thou hast much
goods laid up for many years; take thine ease,
eat, drink, and be merry.
But God said unto him,
thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of
thee; then whose shall those things be, which
thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up
treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
 Luke: 12:16-21

I’ll just keep adding one painting a day until you say it’s substantial enough, ok? 

Shall we include the Picasso below, or stop with everything up to the Cezanne above?

Anyway, what ‘substantial’  means to you, and what it s to me, or, what you think I should be grateful to think it means for me, and what it actually does mean for me- well, that’s a lot of supposition.
Thank you for this opportunity to illustrate.

Steve Hall of Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital Objects- Says Judge’s Ruling Is ‘Procedurally Flawed’

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.

Paley is represented by Colt Wallerstin LLP and Goldberg Stinnett Davis & Linchey PC.

God Wins! -today’s court ruling

Paley v. Radar Networks

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bankruptcy Court issues order permitting California fraud trial to resume against Ross Levinsohn, Steve Hall, and Nova Spivack. 

On August 10, 2012, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California issued an order permitting plaintiff Kate Paley, daughter of CBS founder William Paley, to pursue causes of action for fraudulent transfer against defendants Ross Levinsohn, Steve Hall, and Nova Spivack, who have been sued in California state court.

This ruling ends a five-month delay that was orchestrated by defendants to avoid a public trial.  On May 3, 2010, Ms. Paley filed a complaint in San Mateo Superior Court, alleging causes of action for fraud, fraudulent conveyance, breach of contract, unfair competition, and related claims.

Named as defendants were Ross Levinsohn (who most recently served as interim CEO of Yahoo!, Inc.), Steve Hall (managing partner of Silicon Valley venture capital firm Vulcan Capital), and Nova Spivack.  Plaintiff Paley was the primary investor in Radar Networks, Inc., a Silicon Valley startup managed by defendants.   Plaintiff contends that defendants mismanaged the company, resulting in its failure and the eventual fraudulent transfer of the company’s assets to another company controlled by Evri, Inc., another company controlled by defendant Hall.

Discovery in the case revealed that Levinsohn had an actual intent to defraud Ms. Paley.  In September 2009, for example, Levinsohn voted in favor of a transaction that converted Ms. Paley, without her consent, from a creditor who was owed over $3 million by Radar to an equity holder .  Levinsohn was told numerous times that converting Ms. Paley’s loan to equity was improper, but this conversion was a first and necessary step to making sure that Ms. Paley could not share any of the proceeds from the fraudulent sale of Radar’s assets to Evri.  Thereafter, in February 2010, as the sole member of Radar’s “Acquisition Committee,” Levinsohn rejected an offer from Intellectual Ventures for more than twice the amount offered by Evri.  Radar’s assets were then sold to Evri, giving defendants control over the assets, proceeds from the assets, and all the while leaving Ms. Paley with nothing from her investment.  This carefully orchestrated scheme forms the basis for the California lawsuit.

In an attempt to avoid trial, defendants filed motions for summary judgment in the California suit, which were denied in February 2012.  The case was set for trial to begin on February 27, 2012; that very day, defendants filed a notice of stay after orchestrating a bankruptcy filing on behalf of Radar Networks.   For months in the bankruptcy suit, defendants attempted to delay the proceedings in order to avoid a public trial.

Following this order by the Bankruptcy Court, Ms. Paley will immediately move the Superior Court to lift its stay and allow trial to resume.  The case is Paley et al v. Radar Networks, Inc. et al, Case No. CIV-494701, currently pending in San Mateo Superior Court in Redwood City, California.
