It is clear that Reed Elsevier had to have help from corrupt government influences, beginning with a rather weasel-like U.S. Postal Inspector named Martin Biegelman, and reaching higher and higher into the judicial and executive branches.
 
The trial transcript speaks for itself, one exculpatory item after another, until there were hundreds of factors demanding an innocent finding.
 
Believe it or not, the Postal Service was able to place several of its employees on the jury. From there it gets worse:   even after jurors complained of undue and improper influence, the judge refused to hear it. In open court, on the record, he told one juror who was in tears over the tainted process, "I don't wan't to hear it!."
 
One defense attorney even asked the jury outright, on the record, to please find his client guilty!
 
You read that correctly. there were no caveats, or maybe's,   or "if you's..." Just a simple, plain request that the jury find his client guilty, at which point the attorney sat down, leaving the courtroom silent and stunned.
 
Not a word of protest from any of the other nine defense attorneys present, all in the employ and pay of the federal government.
 
When that attorney's client tried to fire him, the judge refused, even to the point of intimidating, and indirectly threatening the defendant.
 
We can go on and on, but it's always best to let the trial record speak for itself, right?
 
The links below lead to the transcripts themselves, at least those that were obtainable, as the nine attorneys all refused to provide the defendants with a complete transcript, not in print, not on disk. 12,000+ pages of trial transcript, and you never even heard of this case, did you?
 
Fifty million dollars allegedly defrauded out of the sharpest, brightest, most successful men and women of America,  repeatedly -- and you never heard a word, did you?
 
One of the defendants, thrilled at working at the Who's Who Worldwide Registry, produced the documents linked at the bottom of this page through the Shapelinks Way To WinMasters and Millionaires link here - And at the bottom of the page, produced as a result of his 5,200 interviews, individual interviews, with America's best and brightest minds. We hope you'll benefit from them. We already know you have the brains to understand; the question is not what you know, rather, what you do with what you know. You cannot build a reputation based on what you're going to do. Henry Ford is credited with creating that phrase, and it's a biggie, because it applies to you personally. You cannot build a reputation based on what you're going to do. Everything else is chatter.
 
NOTE: This trial was exceptionally long. Some pages may take a few moments to load.

The Incredible list of alleged victims           Tiniest sampling of Managing Directors

      Still unexplained is how the postal inspector who spearheaded and supervised a multi-year, multimillion dollar investigation, showed up for all the pre-trial hearings but wasn't heard from throughout the months and months of trial. Neither prosecutors nor ten federally hired and paid defense attorneys spoke up? What court would ignore it, unless the Court had sufficient extrinsic motivation?

Sampling of Members - WoW!!
