Subject: Susan's Rant Today
|
Today, Susan launched into her usual rant of late. What I find
interesting is that today Susan complained that Jerry Hanken had
leaked confidential information to me and I in turned had used that
confidential information in my opposition to her attorney's motion to
dismiss.
However, I am unaware of any confidential information, either in what
Jerry Hanken leaked to me or in what I used in my opposition to her
motion to dismiss.
Could anybody please tell it what it was?
Here is what Susan posted at
http://chessdiscussion.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=992 :
Board members are covered by the USCF insurance policy. Chubb is the
insurance company and Chubb assigned a lawyer to defend us against the
Sloan lawsuit. This has nothing to do with the USCF attorney. It was
paid by Chubb. The board members authorized by the vote of 5-0
(obviously we were excluded from this vote) to have their USCF "paid"
attorney contact Chubb to try to convince Chubb not to cover us so
that we cannot defend ourselves against the Sloan suit.
When that did not work, confidential legal information which we were
asked to submit to the USCF was leaked to Jerry Hanken. He then used
this information in at least 2 unauthorized negotiation sessions with
Sloan. Sloan used some of this information in his response to the
motion to dismiss.
And in the mean time, the board majority purposely mislead the USCF
members by saying we did not cooperate, which is blatantly false. The
USCF paid attorney NEVER asked us for additional information after it
was submitted to him. He never said to us that it is not enough and to
please provide more. If he did then please produce the evidence to
support this. This is why the board desperately tries to fight the
idea of releasing all correspondence for USCF members to see because
it will contradict what they stated publicly to the USCF members. In
addition, false and misleading information was used in the recall
petition to fool the delegates.
None of the board members deny this publicly because they know we have
the proof. I even made an offer that once all correspondence is
released and if what we say is false, we will resign immediately. But
it what we say is true, the board majority will resign imediately.
They obviously did not accept this offer for abundantly clear reasons.
Unless the board majority apologizes for what they have done to me and
my personal and professional reputation, this matter will not go away
and they will have to answer for their actions at appropriate venues.
I am not backing off from this issue. They have no right playing games
with people's lives. If they have nothing to hide then release all
information and allow USCF members to make up their own minds.
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar

I would like to know what this is all about. I am not aware of any
confidential information or indeed any information at all that was
leaked by Jerry Hanken to me. I am also not aware of any confidential
information that I used in response to the Motion to Dismiss.
Everything I wrote in opposition to the Motion to Dismiss were common
and well known facts. I did not reveal any confidential or secret
information.
My opposition to the motion to dismiss is posted online and if anybody
can find any confidential information in there, please let me know.

Sam, did the negotiations with Jerry Hanken which Susan speaks of take
place ? BTW... the above quote should be properly attributed to Susan
Polgar.[/quote]
Many people have called me trying to negotiate a settlement to this
suit.
Unfortunately, thus far, the other side has not been willing to move
an inch, and thus these negotiations have been fruitless.
For example, last weekend at the Foxwoods Open I suggested a proposed
settlement which many other pro-Goichberg people had already agreed
was quite reasonable, and one that Goichberg should accept.
However, in response, Goichberg said, "That's ridiculous".
Goichberg is like a man who refuses a draw in a lost position, and
thus is headed for total defeat.
