56. My curiosity has been piqued so I've been casually poking around for additional info

Oct 2013

This is an outside media article on the initial case --

http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/business/news/etoys-investors-claim-conflict-at-law-firm-592819/

It's also made mention in the WSJ. So there's there there, just how much is the question.


Since then Mr. Haas, who apparently files court documents using his superhero name, has produced/utilized other resources --

http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Steven-Haas/1354174894


If I understand this correctly the above link was a pleading filed in New York --

71. TBF's power center to get willfully blind justice in Delaware cannot have reached here in NY...


As of this writing I am unaware of the disposition of this particular case, I only have my assumptions. Still, the pleading at the link is a glowing tribute to undefined complaints written in an untidy amalgam of pseudo-legalese and street vernacular. I beg you, please read it.


And then this ties in, somehow --

The Goal of this Website now - is to assist Tom Petters get a new trial and see to it that the Racketeering evidence of Goldman Sachs, Bain Capital and Paul Traub’s duplicity in the Petters, Fingerhut, Polaroid (and eToys cases) are punished by a Racketeering indictment

http://petters-fraud.com/


One would think that after being on the case for a decade or so a little editing would have come into play. I think the website speaks for itself. Again, please, see for yourself.



A less "busy" and less advocacy-minded summation of Le Affaire d' Petters --

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Petters


BTW -- his press release states he is CEO of Collateral Logistics, Inc. but every reference to CLI I can find outside of this case show CLI as inactive and having no named officers --

http://www.corporationwiki.com/California/Santa-Clarita/collateral-logistics-inc/43407676.aspx

But he does have his own yahoo.com email address, so there's that.
