See Full StoryAmerica Online (NYSE: AOL) said Thursday it has reached an agreement with General Motors (GM) and Daimler-Chrysler to provide discounted Internet and interactive TV service to the automakers' 300,000 employees.
I'm an active Chrysler Auto Worker. I was getting AOL at a discount price. AOL told me there is no record of me ever getting the service at a discount price, pleas help. Also, as a Chrysler employee for 33 1/2years, how can I get the discount for AOLtv and DirecTv. Please answer, need big help.

I received one of those letters from General Motors stating that i could and I quote the letter.(Get Unlimited America Online* Service for just $5 per month)I am a retired auto worker from General Motors Plant 75 in Pontiac, Michigan. An I did exactly what the paper said to do for my discount with AOL. The people were very nice and helpful. But I found out almost two months later after my initial call to AOL. They were double billing me. When I called the business office to complain. I wasn't given the best reception. They don't really want to help you. I was suppose to be billed only $11.95 a month because I was a retired GM worker. If I had been still working for GM. Then I would have received the rate of only $5.00 per month. But I was being billed the full price of $23.90. The phone representitives don't tell you there is a waiting period to verify your actually a GM employee. So there for AOL charges every one the full rate of $23.95 per month. Please make sure when you receive your letter from GM. That you point out the fact of the charges so this doesn't happen to you also with your checking account. They began charging me from the time of the first contact by phone. I still have not found the proper site to fill out the necessary paper work for my GM discount. Even though I did every thing that is explained on the original paper. The one explaining the discount for GM Workers. An the proper procedure you must make to not be charged the wrong fee from AOL billing. I believe AOL really doesn't care about our so called problem. If they charge us the regular ammount instead of our discount. They make twice the amount of money from our checking account each month. I have lots more to say but this is enough for now.

Come on guys, this is a symptom. AOL is a bloated, obsolete dirigible that is going down. Not only are they technically incompetent (littering your computer with crap galore and never-ending redundant copies of their own software), but they are arrogant and ignorant of their customers.
In case anyone out there doesn't know, everything you need to get on line is built into your operating system. AOL is NOT the Internet; it's a glorified bulletin-board system that tacked on Internet access years after its inception. If you have DSL or a cable modem, you already have everything you need.
If for some reason you have to go with dial-up, find a local Internet service provider who doesn't make you install any special software. All you need is a number to dial an account on the computer that answers.

you can go to www.gmaolenroll.com and register there.
No comment just wanted to sign up for the GM Retiree discount. I already have AOL and want to keep the same service.
Hope you have an answer by now. Have had no trouble with the discount from GM. Just retired 4 months ago and have talked with Aol on the phone, talked with a nice young lady who directed me to my browser, type in GM Retiree click on search and the information will come up for you. You get the discount if you provide the information requested and are retired. Some discounts apply to folks who are still working and some other ones apply to those who are retired. Check with your benifit rep or union floor rep. Just to make things easy have the info that aol asks for when you go to GM RETIREE on your browser and they will walk you through it. For some strange reason you must be retired to get the retiree discount. They do check it out.
I need help with getting my discount on Aol, I've
been trying for months now, last I read, I had
35 years in with Gm.

Posted by: laser 2005-01-10 11:52:35 In reply to: Keith Regan
Our Company was the Court appointed liquidator in eToys. Instead of Liquidating we tried to save the company. You can still buy from eToys.com today thanks solely to us... when we tried to save the Public Company the CEO of eToys allowed us to be canned and has stiffed us on our payments for sales done.
It has now been 3 years and the case was going to wind down,,, we are the last issue and we can get paid. However we found proof of Federal violations of Bankruptcy Code punishable by fines, fee returns and incarceration. The CEO of eToys Barry Gold and Paul Traub attorney for the Creditors Committee are secretly Partners. This violates 20 different rules and the US Trustee made a statement in the Transcript Public record that it is apparent these Violations Occurred. Pacer Public Record Docket in Jan 2005 of Transcript of Hearing Dec 22 2004 Any one that can help publicize these public facts and help us save the public company would be appreciated.

We have been notifying Mark Kenney, the Attorney for the US Trustee, for years that Paul Traub and Barry Gold had undisclosed relationships.
Robert Alber had contacted the FBI many years ago where the FBI told him that once FACTS of the crime were evident then Justice would do the job. At that time he did not have the facts which my research had gathered. He only had suspicions, with no knowledge of the law.
Both he and I should be awarded the Blue Ribbon for naïve minds.
We believed in justice and the integrity of those that are sworn to uphold such.
I have called, emailed and spoken to the FBI more than 20 times myself. The fact that they scolded and warned me is evidence that they have reviewed, to their satisfaction, the details and yet decline, refuse to pursue.
My placing the “prima facie evidence” of the existence of Asset Disposition Advisors (ADA) in the Public Record, filed with the Court and the US Trustee office was the “proof positive” of an undisclosed relationship between Paul Traub and Barry Gold during May 2001. A FACT which resulted in the domino effect of conclusive proofs of perjuries, false oaths, false declarations, Scheme to Fix Fee’s and more.
When I am threatened, warned to “back off”, by the conspirators, by my own attorney and justice officials being retaliated/intimidated against by dismissal of my righteous, Court Approved claim and work Order. Then that is proof of intimidation and retaliation in violation of US DOJ Guidelines 5-9.12 which is based upon 18 USC 1512 Tampering with Witness or Victim.
When the FBI scorns me and states that the cases, the felony counts we have documented are being closed, when they Yell that no actions will be taken, Do I GET IT, that it is a fact that the case will be closed unless I continue to email the Dept of Justice or US Attorney’s office. Implying, how dare I point out the facts that this case is not prosecuted, that whom am I to shed light upon the failings over many years, to prosecute. Which brings, purportedly, unnecessary workloads to a limited office.
Then where, I ask YOU, is Honor, where can Justice be found?
We have an illusion of justice!
When more than 100 felonious acts are committed which line the pockets of the conspirators with more than $14 million through “False Oaths”, “False Declarations”, “Perjuries”, “Scheme to Fix Fee’s”, “Extortion”, attempted “Bribery” and apparent Judicial complicity, with cooperation by the US Trustee’s office, well
Then I am perturbed to say the least.
A Judge, by Code/Rule of LAW is mandated to do “sufficient deterrent” when an act has occurred to assure, insure that no repeat offenses occur.
The System, the Integrity of the System, the Honor in the Judicial Process is lacking..
All that remains is Anarchy and the need for civil unrest to rectify such.
As my life, my career, my life savings is invested in eToys and the conspirators have made good on their retaliatory threat to see that we can not obtain new business and those that are Sworn to protect and serve continue to tell me to get lost.
I am therefore lost!
My soul, my heart, my faith in the integrity of the Judicial process is GONE!
Mark Kenney is UNFIT for office and at a minimum should be disqualified. Lawrence Friedman stated that such would place undue harm on the system as the LAW of Code 324(a) &(b) state that when one is removed from one case, he must be removed from all.
Mark Kenney is on the eToys case, at a minimum, under the Janet Reno Reform Act of 1994 to protect the equity holders.
All Trustees’ and their representatives give an Oath to uphold the LAW.
28 USC 583 is the Oath of Office which requires a duty to “execute Faithfully” his/her duties.
The US DOJ US Trustee Handbook which can be found on the website states in 5-1.2 The Duty to Investigate & Refer.
That DUTY is from 28 USC 586(5) To perform Duties consistent with Title 11.
A related Duty is 28 USC 586(3)(H) to Monitor Code 327 of Title 11.
This is emphasized in the Handbook at 5-1.2.1 which is based upon the Code 28 USC 586(a)(3)(F) The Duty to Notify & Refer.
It has been repeatedly established, by Appeal decisions that a Trustee cannot make “ad hoc” decisions when to apply the law. Niether can a Judge make “ad hoc” decisions to apply the law, even for economic or time related issue(s). Especially given the “unambiguous language of 327(a)” which mandates conformance to that LAW.
Furthermore, as a check and balance measure, the LAW states that when an allegation of Fraud occurs, even if the US Trustee or representative disagrees with the allegation, a Memo of Declination must be sent to the US Attorney’s office to see if they concur. Such declination shall state the Facts and detail why the US Trustee feels no recommendation for prosecution is required. This is the LAW!
The Handbook also contains 5-1.2.2 concerning Judges and Private Trustee’s which is based upon 18 USC 3057(a). This LAW goes even further to state that “a Judge, having reasonable grounds for believing that any violations ---- shall report such to the United States Attorney”.
Along with the Federal Canon’s of Judicial Conduct 3 (B)(3). A judge should initiate appropriate action when the judge becomes aware of reliable evidence indicating the likelihood of unprofessional conduct by a judge or lawyer.
The US Trustee has testified during the initial Trustee Motion to Sanction Traub Bonacquist & Fox (TBF) on February 15, 2005. Combined with the Trustee statements in the Transcript of the December 22, 2004 hearing where Frank Perch stated that it is readily apparent that non disclosure has occurred since the beginning, continued through Final Fee applications and Post confirmed Plan until this day, when the non disclosure was brought to the attention of the Court, by the facts of ADA.
In the Motion, the initial Trustee Motion of February 15, 2005 the Trustee states that TBF disgorgement is “inadequate” due to the “draconian” Rule of 1144 which states that a PLAN cannot be amended, even for Fraud, after the PLAN has been confirmed for more than 180 days.
In the Motion of February 15, 2005 the Trustee continued to state that he warned all parties, back in 2001, that any replacement of key personnel had to be by “arms length” parties from anyone already involved in the case.
The Fact that Paul Traub, the Attorney for the Creditors Committee placed in as CEO of the Debtor, “post petition” Barry Gold, his partner is the most serious, egregious violation of 327(a), 2014, 101(14) that can probably be.
It of itself mandates referral to the US Attorney’s office, disqualification & 100% disgorgement of TBF, Barry Gold, CrossRoads, Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnel, Richard Cartoon, Larry Durant, Scott Henkin, Fred Rosner and MARK KENNEY.
For not only did they all know and participate in the subterfuge, the mass, multiple firm participation in the Conspiracy is a Crime of the most serious kind. An attack upon the Judicial Process, the brazen flagrant manner thereof should alarm and appall YOU.
That the OPR, the OIG, the OGE, the US DOJ Trustee, the Trustee General Counsel, Lawrence Friedman, the Judge, Mark Kenney, Frank Perch and any other Justice entity or Official, having been contacted by us, such as the SEC would refuse to refer and demand prosecution, because we are minute and “pro se” is a violation of MisPrison Statue which is again part of the US DOJ Handbook 5-9.1 in reference to 18 USC 4 MisPrison where one witnesses an act and does not, as Soon as Possible, make know the same to a Judge or other Civil authority is in violation of this Statue.
The DOJ guidelines go on further to say that the DOJ may use the MisPrison Statue to prosecute individuals who aid in BK violations, yet are NOT main participants.
TBF and Barry Gold should have never been allowed into the KB Toys case.
After the hearings of December 22, 2005, February 1, 2005 and March 1, 2005 which are all in the Public record by Transcript, along with the Responses of January 25, 2005, the Depositions of February 9, 2005 and the testimony directly to the Judge by Paul Traub and Barry Gold that TBF paid Barry Gold 4 payments of $30,000 each from January 2001 to May 2001. After all that time to come clean, there remains continued perjuries, false statements and non disclosed issue(s) that I testify to YOU of this day, under penalty of perjury.
Paul Traub and Barry Gold worked in Stage Stores, Inc Tx S Dist. 00-35080 which was owned by BAIN, who owns KB Toys. Jack Bush and Michael Glazers work for BAIN entities and are Directors/Stockholders of Stage Stores.
Barry Gold has testified how Jack Bush got him his jobs at Jumbo Sports and other cases.
He and Traub are indebted to Jack Bush/BAIN.
Traub met with BAIN owner Mitt Romney in NEO Star, it was one of the first cases given to him by a creditor chairman at Mattel.
Barry Gold and Traub have testified they did not know much of each other, even during the come clean hearings, prior to eToys.
Yet Stage Stores tells a different story, Paul Traub addressed his hiring letter to Barry Gold at Stage Stores, That is attached here.
Paul Traub and Barry Gold state that they may have met at Witmark.
We went to the Federal Archives across the country and retrieved records that tell a different story.
I know, from a former TBF employee (TBF has members that have left the firm) that Barry Gold attended meetings back when TBF was Traub Bonacquist & Yellen, that Barry Gold brought around the Champaign to celebrate. That TBF worked on TSS Seadman’s and that Barry Gold was CFO for TSS for 24 years.
It is not an unreasonable question to ask why, speciously, Barry Gold never mentions his most prestigious longevity employment era on any of his current resumes.
All those perjuries and undisclosed items are minor to the fact that BAIN/KB Toys/Stage Stores/Jack Bush/Michael Glazer are all connected to TBF and Barry Gold.
The fact that no Deterrent exists is exquisitely demonstrated by the brazen, flagrant and blatant disregard for authority that TBF exhibits after the come clean hearings and testimony in eToys. For not only do Barry Gold and Paul Traub have no proper legal right by 327(a), 2014, 101(14) and the non disclosures thereof to be within the KB Toys case, especially as creditors counsel. Furthermore, the lack of deterrent, which is so lacking as to appear as actual encouragement is demonstrated, overwhelmingly by the fact that Paul Traub petitioned for the right to prosecute the $100 million preferential payment that Michael Glazer gave himself and others.
What is even more egregious and offensive is that I placed a notice, after learning of Traub’s request in KB Toys, under the MisPrison Statue in the KB Toys record. That was objected to by Mark Kenney and Kelly B Stapleton in defense of the offending perpetrators.
Additional egregiousness occurred when His Honor Donald Sullivan had a hearing on my Motion. Whereupon, as I sat telephonically explaining the Facts, before the Judge has made his ruling, the signed Order by his Honor was placed in the Public Record and my Motion was expunged. There was a break right before that time, I assume that is when he signed the Order prematurely.
To add more to the mystery thereof, Her Honor Walrath replaced his Honor Sullivan with His Honor Shapero a few days thereafter.
Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnel (MNAT) as Debtors’ counsel, filed the case of eToys where it had previously worked for eToys, which had huge causes of actions against Goldman Sachs, but, during the same day it filed a case of Finova Bankruptcy where MNAT represented Goldman Sachs. eToys is 01-706, Finova is 01-705.
Furthermore MNAT stated in its initial application for employment that it may have a conflict concerning the Learning Center. What remains undisclosed to this day, by MNAT, is the fact that MNAT represented Mattel who owns the Learning Center. Mattel was the number one vendor creditor and chairman of the Creditors committee.
If they had not done the half truth of Liquidity Solutions MNAT would have been immediately disqualified.
Then there is the In re: Bucyrus 94-20786 matter of E D Wisc. That involved Gellene being incarcerated and his firm Milbank & Tweed were not only disgorged their entire $1.9 million in fee’s, Tweed also lost a lawsuit for $30 million. Which was concerning the fact that Solvano, a former Goldman Sachs Exec loaned the Debtor $35 million pre petition that was paid off pre petition. The preferential compliance thereof was never reviewed.
In eToys we have an exact match to that case where Foothill Capital , a Wells Fargo entity loaned eToys $40 million pre petition in Nov 2000, that was paid back prior to the petition filing of March 7, 2001. Both Traub and Gold have testified of their working for Wells Fargo and/or Foothill. Also CrossRoads, the financial consultant of the Debtor has worked for Wells Fargo. By the precedent they are all Gellene/Tweed/s’
Then we have the hidden gem of Liquidity Solutions, where Stage Stores is co-debtor with Liquidity Solutions.
Liquidity Solutions has acquired extensive claims and plan votes in eToys. The fact that TBF and Barry Gold worked for them, undisclosed, then TBF paid Barry Gold $30,000 per month to sit by until he had Barry Gold placed in eToys, in secret, by perjury and false oaths. The Fact that Barry Gold perjured himself by his PLAN declaration stating that the Plan was negotiated and drafted in “good faith” “arms length” negotiations between Debtor and Creditor.. That is between Barry Gold and Paul Traub where “arms length and good faith” cannot be. Then the Fact that the resulting “Bad Faith” Plan contained a clause that permits the Plan Administrator (Barry Gold) to pay items under $1 million without court approval. Including items to Liquidity Solutions which is appalling and by their refusals to allow us to examine books and records to determine the facts is also a violation of the Code and highly suspect.
Then we have the fact that Paul Traub hires the former federal Justice James Garrity of NY who negotiates a settlement of the original “Inadequate” Motion of the US Trustee with Mark Kenney on February 25, 2005.
Then, after the Judge receives proof positive on March 1, 2005 of the payments by TBF to Barry Gold, along with their testimony that they did willfully and intentionally, repeatedly fail to disclose.
Lawrence Friedman resigns.
Frank Perch resigns.
Judge Sullivan is removed from the KB Toys case.
My claim is handed to His Honor Baxter who reschedules my trial, then lets my contingency counsel withdraw and summarily dismiss my claim.
Then I appeal.
Then Her Honor, after I appeal, releases the OPINION of October 4, 2005.
Wherein, Her Honor falsely, egregiously states that Barry Gold, as a “pre petition” employee of the Debtor has done no wrong. Her Honor approves an Order that contains broad based immunity language.
Immunity language is required by the US DOJ US Trustee Handbook to have General Counsel approval.
Now either Mark Kenney did the immunity settlement without approval.
Or
He had approval to make immune over 100 felony violations!
eToys filed on March 7, 2001.
Barry Gold and Paul Traub both testified that Barry Gold was hired by the Debtor on May 21, 2005 as “wind down coordinator” then, subsequently became CEO a month or so later.
Therefore Barry Gold is “post petition” and “unambiguously required to apply”.
( the law actually states he is required to have court approval and state the facts of his connections pre or post petition—especially when any pre petition is just prior to filing)
Her Honor also quotes case law that is not readily available and apparently well ancient. This is done to support her specious accounting that employee’s of the Debtor have no requirement to apply or jurisdiction review of the court.
I find it egregious that her predecessor Judge Farnan as Chief Justice and now part of the 3rd Circuit set both the “quantitative” and “qualitative” measures by which anyone, even Ordinary Course Professionals (OCP) which a “wind down coordinator” could never be classified as, must comply with 327(a).
Basically those rules apply to the autonomy of the decisions one can make and the effect it would have upon the ESTATE.
Barry Gold was the CEO, President and “Sole” authority for the Debtor outside of the fact that he also testified when he wanted to increase his pay, he did not apply to the court, and instead, he asked TBF.
Then we also have the Kid Board Gear Interactive claim of $677,000 that had an additional, returnable preferential of $100,000 plus. Where Fred Rosner has been at several different firms during his eToys. As the self described local counsel for TBF the eToys case has traveled with Mr. Rosner.
When Her Honor Walrath was going to approve the request by Jaspen Schlesinger firm for summary judgment against Kid Board Gear for the benefit of eToys. Fred Rosner stepped in and halted the process. Stopping the summary judgement.
Fred Rosner now is with Jaspen Schlesinger firm.
There are many documents in the record about Liquidity Solutions acquiring the Kid Board Gear claim.
There also remains the $2 million in overseas deposits that was NOT listed originally on the Debtors schedules, until we discovered the non disclosure thereof by David Haddad the VP of eToys who tried, vigorously, to get the committee to vote to place him in control of the European operation where the $2 million was deposited.
To date there is no accounting for the monies distributed by Barry Gold. Every time we ask, we petition, we are ignored. The Trustee quarterly reports lack details and have no uniformity that is readily comprehensible.
Having read all this it is my hope that YOU understand how warnings by the FBI or anyone else is not unexpected, almost anticipated to occur.
They have taken my career, my life savings and I am homeless, scrounging day to day for hotel room costs. When I cannot I sleep in my van and bathe in a hotel pool or shower thereof. I stay hidden in fear of my well being as Traub has often boasted of being connected in NY.
The fact that Johnson & Johnson acquired Baby Center .com from eToys pre petition, that Nancy A Valente works for J& J, combined with the fact that Nancy A Valente is the registered agent for ADA, that Traub testified he did not know who she is, alarms me!
Having lost all, the only thing YOU or anyone can take from me is my liberty or health.
Either of which would actually be an improvement in my life’s path as my soul, my heart is bruised beyond comprehension by such that has walked a regular path such as YOU!.
I made a conscious decision, after a wayward youth, to become honorable in the extreme sense.
Rising to the top of my industry, professional and entrance to the court with the hope, faith and belief that such is the true way to be. My rise was based solely on the fact I resigned my self never to line my pocket at a customers expense.
Then they offer me a bribe for $800,000 and when I say no the ultimate punishments are faced, daily.
At that pinnacle of life, for eToys, the saving thereof, is my best achievement, I am now devastated to learn that the top is the Bottom.
You can investigate, trump up, charge and destroy me. It is certainly apparent that the power exists within this system to do so.
You can even assist TBF on their threat to come after me for the monies I have already been paid. To get what I have never received, now that would be Ironic!
What remains is my well being, my liberty, which shall not yield, respond to threats or intimidation for all I have left is this battle of justice pursuit.
I shall continue, unrelenting, unrestrained, in my campaign to report the Facts about the subterfuge, in the endeavor of, halting the Fraud and the Corruption,,
Until YOU begin YOURS!

That the OPR, the OIG, the OGE, the US DOJ Trustee, the Trustee General Counsel, Lawrence Friedman, the Judge, Mark Kenney, Frank Perch and any other Justice entity or Official, having been contacted by us, such as the SEC would refuse to refer and demand prosecution, because we are minute and “pro se” is a violation of MisPrison Statue which is again part of the US DOJ Handbook 5-9.1 in reference to 18 USC 4 MisPrison where one witnesses an act and does not, as Soon as Possible, make know the same to a Judge or other Civil authority is in violation of this Statue.
The DOJ guidelines go on further to say that the DOJ may use the MisPrison Statue to prosecute individuals who aid in BK violations, yet are NOT main participants.
TBF and Barry Gold should have never been allowed into the KB Toys case.
After the hearings of December 22, 2005, February 1, 2005 and March 1, 2005 which are all in the Public record by Transcript, along with the Responses of January 25, 2005, the Depositions of February 9, 2005 and the testimony directly to the Judge by Paul Traub and Barry Gold that TBF paid Barry Gold 4 payments of $30,000 each from January 2001 to May 2001. After all that time to come clean, there remains continued perjuries, false statements and non disclosed issue(s) that I testify to YOU of this day, under penalty of perjury.
Paul Traub and Barry Gold worked in Stage Stores, Inc Tx S Dist. 00-35080 which was owned by BAIN, who owns KB Toys. Jack Bush and Michael Glazers work for BAIN entities and are Directors/Stockholders of Stage Stores.
Barry Gold has testified how Jack Bush got him his jobs at Jumbo Sports and other cases.
He and Traub are indebted to Jack Bush/BAIN.
Traub met with BAIN owner Mitt Romney in NEO Star, it was one of the first cases given to him by a creditor chairman at Mattel.
Barry Gold and Traub have testified they did not know much of each other, even during the come clean hearings, prior to eToys.
Yet Stage Stores tells a different story, Paul Traub addressed his hiring letter to Barry Gold at Stage Stores, That is attached here.
Paul Traub and Barry Gold state that they may have met at Witmark.
We went to the Federal Archives across the country and retrieved records that tell a different story.
I know, from a former TBF employee (TBF has members that have left the firm) that Barry Gold attended meetings back when TBF was Traub Bonacquist & Yellen, that Barry Gold brought around the Champaign to celebrate. That TBF worked on TSS Seadman’s and that Barry Gold was CFO for TSS for 24 years.
It is not an unreasonable question to ask why, speciously, Barry Gold never mentions his most prestigious longevity employment era on any of his current resumes.
All those perjuries and undisclosed items are minor to the fact that BAIN/KB Toys/Stage Stores/Jack Bush/Michael Glazer are all connected to TBF and Barry Gold.
The fact that no Deterrent exists is exquisitely demonstrated by the brazen, flagrant and blatant disregard for authority that TBF exhibits after the come clean hearings and testimony in eToys. For not only do Barry Gold and Paul Traub have no proper legal right by 327(a), 2014, 101(14) and the non disclosures thereof to be within the KB Toys case, especially as creditors counsel. Furthermore, the lack of deterrent, which is so lacking as to appear as actual encouragement is demonstrated, overwhelmingly by the fact that Paul Traub petitioned for the right to prosecute the $100 million preferential payment that Michael Glazer gave himself and others.
What is even more egregious and offensive is that I placed a notice, after learning of Traub’s request in KB Toys, under the MisPrison Statue in the KB Toys record. That was objected to by Mark Kenney and Kelly B Stapleton in defense of the offending perpetrators.
Additional egregiousness occurred when His Honor Donald Sullivan had a hearing on my Motion. Whereupon, as I sat telephonically explaining the Facts, before the Judge has made his ruling, the signed Order by his Honor was placed in the Public Record and my Motion was expunged. There was a break right before that time, I assume that is when he signed the Order prematurely.
To add more to the mystery thereof, Her Honor Walrath replaced his Honor Sullivan with His Honor Shapero a few days thereafter.
Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnel (MNAT) as Debtors’ counsel, filed the case of eToys where it had previously worked for eToys, which had huge causes of actions against Goldman Sachs, but, during the same day it filed a case of Finova Bankruptcy where MNAT represented Goldman Sachs. eToys is 01-706, Finova is 01-705.
Furthermore MNAT stated in its initial application for employment that it may have a conflict concerning the Learning Center. What remains undisclosed to this day, by MNAT, is the fact that MNAT represented Mattel who owns the Learning Center. Mattel was the number one vendor creditor and chairman of the Creditors committee.
If they had not done the half truth of Liquidity Solutions MNAT would have been immediately disqualified.
Then there is the In re: Bucyrus 94-20786 matter of E D Wisc. That involved Gellene being incarcerated and his firm Milbank & Tweed were not only disgorged their entire $1.9 million in fee’s, Tweed also lost a lawsuit for $30 million. Which was concerning the fact that Solvano, a former Goldman Sachs Exec loaned the Debtor $35 million pre petition that was paid off pre petition. The preferential compliance thereof was never reviewed.
In eToys we have an exact match to that case where Foothill Capital , a Wells Fargo entity loaned eToys $40 million pre petition in Nov 2000, that was paid back prior to the petition filing of March 7, 2001. Both Traub and Gold have testified of their working for Wells Fargo and/or Foothill. Also CrossRoads, the financial consultant of the Debtor has worked for Wells Fargo. By the precedent they are all Gellene/Tweed/s’
Then we have the hidden gem of Liquidity Solutions, where Stage Stores is co-debtor with Liquidity Solutions.
Liquidity Solutions has acquired extensive claims and plan votes in eToys. The fact that TBF and Barry Gold worked for them, undisclosed, then TBF paid Barry Gold $30,000 per month to sit by until he had Barry Gold placed in eToys, in secret, by perjury and false oaths. The Fact that Barry Gold perjured himself by his PLAN declaration stating that the Plan was negotiated and drafted in “good faith” “arms length” negotiations between Debtor and Creditor.. That is between Barry Gold and Paul Traub where “arms length and good faith” cannot be. Then the Fact that the resulting “Bad Faith” Plan contained a clause that permits the Plan Administrator (Barry Gold) to pay items under $1 million without court approval. Including items to Liquidity Solutions which is appalling and by their refusals to allow us to examine books and records to determine the facts is also a violation of the Code and highly suspect.
Then we have the fact that Paul Traub hires the former federal Justice James Garrity of NY who negotiates a settlement of the original “Inadequate” Motion of the US Trustee with Mark Kenney on February 25, 2005.
Then, after the Judge receives proof positive on March 1, 2005 of the payments by TBF to Barry Gold, along with their testimony that they did willfully and intentionally, repeatedly fail to disclose.
Lawrence Friedman resigns.
Frank Perch resigns.
Judge Sullivan is removed from the KB Toys case.
My claim is handed to His Honor Baxter who reschedules my trial, then lets my contingency counsel withdraw and summarily dismiss my claim.
Then I appeal.
Then Her Honor, after I appeal, releases the OPINION of October 4, 2005.
Wherein, Her Honor falsely, egregiously states that Barry Gold, as a “pre petition” employee of the Debtor has done no wrong. Her Honor approves an Order that contains broad based immunity language.
Immunity language is required by the US DOJ US Trustee Handbook to have General Counsel approval.
Now either Mark Kenney did the immunity settlement without approval.
Or
He had approval to make immune over 100 felony violations!
eToys filed on March 7, 2001.
Barry Gold and Paul Traub both testified that Barry Gold was hired by the Debtor on May 21, 2005 as “wind down coordinator” then, subsequently became CEO a month or so later.
Therefore Barry Gold is “post petition” and “unambiguously required to apply”.
( the law actually states he is required to have court approval and state the facts of his connections pre or post petition—especially when any pre petition is just prior to filing)
Her Honor also quotes case law that is not readily available and apparently well ancient. This is done to support her specious accounting that employee’s of the Debtor have no requirement to apply or jurisdiction review of the court.
I find it egregious that her predecessor Judge Farnan as Chief Justice and now part of the 3rd Circuit set both the “quantitative” and “qualitative” measures by which anyone, even Ordinary Course Professionals (OCP) which a “wind down coordinator” could never be classified as, must comply with 327(a).
Basically those rules apply to the autonomy of the decisions one can make and the effect it would have upon the ESTATE.
Barry Gold was the CEO, President and “Sole” authority for the Debtor outside of the fact that he also testified when he wanted to increase his pay, he did not apply to the court, and instead, he asked TBF.
Then we also have the Kid Board Gear Interactive claim of $677,000 that had an additional, returnable preferential of $100,000 plus. Where Fred Rosner has been at several different firms during his eToys. As the self described local counsel for TBF the eToys case has traveled with Mr. Rosner.
When Her Honor Walrath was going to approve the request by Jaspen Schlesinger firm for summary judgment against Kid Board Gear for the benefit of eToys. Fred Rosner stepped in and halted the process. Stopping the summary judgement.
Fred Rosner now is with Jaspen Schlesinger firm.
There are many documents in the record about Liquidity Solutions acquiring the Kid Board Gear claim.
There also remains the $2 million in overseas deposits that was NOT listed originally on the Debtors schedules, until we discovered the non disclosure thereof by David Haddad the VP of eToys who tried, vigorously, to get the committee to vote to place him in control of the European operation where the $2 million was deposited.
To date there is no accounting for the monies distributed by Barry Gold. Every time we ask, we petition, we are ignored. The Trustee quarterly reports lack details and have no uniformity that is readily comprehensible.
Having read all this it is my hope that YOU understand how warnings by the FBI or anyone else is not unexpected, almost anticipated to occur.
They have taken my career, my life savings and I am homeless, scrounging day to day for hotel room costs. When I cannot I sleep in my van and bathe in a hotel pool or shower thereof. I stay hidden in fear of my well being as Traub has often boasted of being connected in NY.
The fact that Johnson & Johnson acquired Baby Center .com from eToys pre petition, that Nancy A Valente works for J& J, combined with the fact that Nancy A Valente is the registered agent for ADA, that Traub testified he did not know who she is, alarms me!
Having lost all, the only thing YOU or anyone can take from me is my liberty or health.
Either of which would actually be an improvement in my life’s path as my soul, my heart is bruised beyond comprehension by such that has walked a regular path such as YOU!.
I made a conscious decision, after a wayward youth, to become honorable in the extreme sense.
Rising to the top of my industry, professional and entrance to the court with the hope, faith and belief that such is the true way to be. My rise was based solely on the fact I resigned my self never to line my pocket at a customers expense.
Then they offer me a bribe for $800,000 and when I say no the ultimate punishments are faced, daily.
At that pinnacle of life, for eToys, the saving thereof, is my best achievement, I am now devastated to learn that the top is the Bottom.
You can investigate, trump up, charge and destroy me. It is certainly apparent that the power exists within this system to do so.
You can even assist TBF on their threat to come after me for the monies I have already been paid. To get what I have never received, now that would be Ironic!
What remains is my well being, my liberty, which shall not yield, respond to threats or intimidation for all I have left is this battle of justice pursuit.
I shall continue, unrelenting, unrestrained, in my campaign to report the Facts about the subterfuge, in the endeavor of, halting the Fraud and the Corruption,,
Until YOU begin YOURS!

We left the computer on all night and tried signing up again
Many Times and still always got the same message. I am totally convinced the problem is in the disk. Everyone else that received a disk just put it in the CD drive and it took off with no problem. I could mail the disk back to you if you wish.
I have spent 2 days on the phone, getting nowhere except
transferred around and around and given numbers to call that
don't get me anywhere except more numbers. All I want is another CD that will hopefully work.
Can you help me or direct me to someone who can? I sure would
appreciate anything you can do. Thank You
