New York Class Action – The Declarations

There were four declarations attached to the New York Class action couldn’t be covered in the last post. I planned to cover all four of them here, but the two from the investors don’t really add anything we didn’t already know, so I think I’ll leave them off for now. I’ve also left out information stated in yesterday’s post since these are all a part of that filing but some repeated information was included for context. Ed Wishner In a shocking turn of events, Ed is actually helping the victims.  Or screwing over a former co-conspirator.  I doubt either is being done out of the goodness of his heart.  As you know he’s been at Terminal Island, but what you may not have heard is that he’s been living in the infirmary because he requires “frequent medical attention.”  He’s doing this declaration because he “may not survive in prison long enough to testify in person.”  My heart bleeds.

New York Class Action

I’m putting a hold on the final installment of the saga of Joel’s Sentencing Brief until this is covered in full.

The suit alleges what I now consider boilerplate allegations against Fitzwilliam and CNB and adds Fuel Doctor into the mix. How he knew, how he helped, etc.  What’s interesting in this one are the details revealed.  I’ll try to
