I ask you to Investigate the Summit Bankruptcy Case Yourself and see if Blogger Crystal Cox was Really Defaming an Innocent Attorney, a Company that was Not Of Public Concern. Investigate this Story and see if you find that indeed they are Public Figures and that the story is not mine. And that there is reason to suspect Fraud on the Courts.

Many, including Judge Marco Hernandez, seem to really, actually believe that I Caused Damage to the Reputation of Obsidian Finance Group and that I wanted Paid for Damage to their Reputation that I caused. This is simply NOT True.

I offered PR Services, as I am Media, and I am very good at such. This, having no money, was the only thing I had to offer, to negotiate with AFTER I had Received a Cease and Desist, and After a Lawsuit for 10 Million Dollars had been filed against me.

I did not create the information, the information came to me and I gave links to the documents, videos, information, depositions, court filings, insider emails, court audios and more that were already online, as well as adding in my commentary and occasional rant on the topic.

Here, Once again are links to information Proving that it was a story that was "Out There" long before I came along with my amazing gift of search engine placement that makes it seem like I am the only one telling the story, when it was never my story.

All Bloggers that expose corruption, post on alternative news, bloggers that post other people's stories, YOU all are depending on the Obsidian Vs. Cox case for what you do. What happened to me could happen to you.

I was telling the story of others, it was not my story nor did it involve anyone I knew.

Investigate the Summit Bankruptcy story yourself. It has nothing to do with me making an offer to "Settle" after they sent me a cease and desist and AFTER the Plaintiff filed a 10 Million Dollar Lawsuit against me. This story has a life of it's own for anyone caring to look into the details instead of simply judging the messenger.

I did not cause the "Damage" to Kevin Padrick's Reputation. Kevin Padrick HIMSELF caused that by his own actions, EXPOSED by Insiders to a $40 Million Dollar Oregon Bankruptcy Proceeding.

I invite you to look at all the information that was nothing to do with Blogger Crystal Cox, and to post your own blog with your findings on the topic, independent of Crystal Cox Blogger sued for defamation.

The Link Below is Videos of Stephanie Studebaker DeYoung in July of 2009 just after I found out about her Bankruptcy Whistleblower Blog that posted documents, emails, contracts, videos and audios of the behind the scenes of the Summit Bankruptcy and the Legal Filing of an Objection to the Fees of Tonkon Torp and Obsidian Finance Group Kevin Padrick. Below is a link to 3 Videos that were on the Summit Bankruptcy Blog, where insider, Bankruptcy Whistleblower Stephanie DeYoung exposes the inside details of the Summit Bankruptcy, as she reaches out to get Creditors support in an Objection to the Fees filed by several insiders.

Be sure and also Research Longview Fibre and the way that Obsidian Finance Group was preying on that company and seemed to be lying about value and seemed to have been connected to Politician Gordon Smith in estimating timber values, the same Gordon Smith whom endorsed Judge Marco Hernandez as Did Politician Ron Wyden, whom also seems to be connected to Obsidian Finance Group, and they both seem connected to Bill Smith Properties whom recommended Obsidian Finance Group to the Summit Principals.

Obsidian Finance Group tried to get more then their share of Tax Credits, the State of Oregon Said NO and Obsidian Finance Group SUED the State of Oregon.

Tax Credit Rules

Order Approving Kevin Padrick's Fees, though Judge Dunn said in the Court Audio he had not yet approved, when their was objections raised at the Conflict that Kevin Padrick, allegedly took proprietary information from his then clients Summit, and used this information against his clients after charging his clients a $100,000 to gather the information, seemingly under the false pretense of helping summit to form a plan of reorganization as the contract stated.  This money was kept on the books of Obsidian Finance Group and none was refunded to Summit, this was affirmed by blogger Crystal Cox asking Patricia Whittington of Obsidian Finance Group, who is the VP and head accountant I believe. (If you want a copy of the Trial Transcript to prove what Obsidian Finance Group said under Oath, email me at SavvyBroker@Yahoo.com)

Here is that Order

If you would like more documents, emails, information that are not FROM me so you can truly investigate this story, please email me at SavvyBroker@Yahoo.com, I am happy to give you whatever information you need to investigate the TRUTH about the Summit Bankruptcy, the Department of Justice Conflict of Interest, the Bankruptcy Judge pushing for Kevin Padrick as Trustee, the Creditors Committee Attorney having worked with Kevin Padrick, the DOJ Trustee and Tonkon Torp's Leon Simson in the same law firm previously and much more.

This story is something I investigated and wrote on for years. I did not make it up, and the post I lost $2.5 Million on was not false, in my opinion, and according to my research. 

Just because one Oregon CPA's Opinion convinced a jury and I was tricked into not testifying, this does not mean I am guilty of defamation. For the involvement of Tonkon Torp Law Firm, Obsidian Finance Group and Kevin Padrick in the Summit Bankruptcy was a scandal long before I showed up and gave powerful internet voice to their victims.

If you cannot read any document, please email me for a clear copy.
