Polgar and Truong change attorneys
I just received notice in the mail today that Susan Polgar and Paul
Truong have changed attorneys in the case Sloan vs. Truong, 07-CV-8537
pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York. Their new attorney is Joseph J. Ortego, of the lawfirm of
Nixon Peabody LLP, Jericho, Long Island, New York.
I believe that this change in attorneys is related to the demand by
counsel for the USCF that Truong sign a sworn affidavit stating
whether he is or is not the Fake Sam Sloan. Eight days ago, four
members of the board demanded that Truong resign in view of his
refusal to cooperate with the investigation into the Fake Sam Sloan
and his refusal to sign such a statement.
The other USCF defendants to this lawsuit continue to be represented
by Jeremy Brown of the law firm of Proskauer Rose LLP.
I assume that the insurance company for the USCF, Chubb Corp, is
paying for the new legal representation for Polgar and Truong.

[quote="artichoke"]Why do you assume USCF's insurance company is
paying for this additional attorney, given that it appears that he
didn't cooperate with the original one we provided? It must cost more
than having him under the same umbrella as the other respondents in
your lawsuit, and I expect that Chubb wants to control their
costs.[/quote]
It is my understanding that the insurance carrier MUST provide them
with legal counsel. Therefore, if for any reason they cannot get along
with the law firm provided to them, they will be given another one.
I have learned that their new legal counsel, Nixon Peabody LLP, is
another one of those huge mega-lawfirms and, like Proskauer Rose,
their pervious law firm, is one of the top 100 in the country. It is
said to have been Richard Nixon's old law firm.
I would imagine that at some point if they refuse to cooperate with
anybody they will be told to find their own legal representation.

It won't do them any good-- exchanging
attorneys, I mean. All that will happen is
that now PT will have SP's atty., and she
will have his. What they need to do is,
together, retain the services of an atty.
like, you know, Perry Mason. (Not that
guy played by Andy Griffith-- too boring.)
I think Perry Mason would not only get
them both off, but nail the real Fake SS,
by cross-examination on the witness
stand. He always made them crack
under the pressure-- even Sam Sloan
could not escape PM. Just have the
writers alter the script so that PT is not
guilty... .

I have little doubt that the strategy of Polgar and Truong will be to
get the suit dismissed without ever having to address the merits.
However, it seems that their prior assigned counsel wanted to know
whether they were guilty or not. When they stonewalled they were
dropped as a client.
Now, when they stonewall before their new attorney too, I do not know
what will happen next.
Meanwhile, I am waiting to learn whether their new assigned counsel
will request additional time to answer.

What an odd litigant!

I am waiting to learn if Sam Sloan thinks USCF should throw open its door,
or if it will stonewall. Naturally, Sam Sloan finds these hard words to read
~ but since he spent a year saying it should on practically every other
matter, then, should we take all that so seriously?
I would imagine that if Sam Sloan /really/ wanted to know "who is clean and
who is not" he would concur with that suggestion - and then, where would any
objections be coming from?
Then we would all know what will happen next.

Sam Sloan,
since I am ambassador, I can't complain to Chubb right now. Good luck
with this. The truth is
known. My concerns are no longer with your litigation. Good luck!

You would think that why? Know what happens when you assume, Mohammed.
