Case Updates The public is reminded that an indictment contains only charges and is not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. US v. John Edwards et al (CMKM) Defendants: John Edwards, Jeffrey Turino, Urban Casavant, Nickolaj Vissokovsky, Melissa Spooner, Helen Bagley, Jeffrey Mitchell, Brian Dvorak, Ginger Gutierrez, James Kinney Scheduled Court Hearings A false rumor has circulated that confuses the criminal prosecution in the District of Nevada (United States v. John Edwards, et al., 2:09-CR-00132-RLH-RJJ) with a civil suit out of the Central District of California that has now been dismissed (David Anderson, et al., v. Christopher Cox, et al., 8:10 –CV-00031-JVS-MLG). There are many variations of this rumor. However, in short, the Anderson civil case is not related to the Edwards criminal case. In Anderson, the plaintiffs allege that the SEC and other agencies of the U.S. Government conducted a sting operation against “illegitimate brokers, dealers, market makers, hedge funds, and other persons and entities that had engaged in naked short selling of CMKM Diamonds Inc. stock.” Anderson Rev. First Amended Complaint, p. 17, para. 48. Essentially, the Anderson case involved allegations against an entire industry. In contrast, the superseding criminal indictment in the Edwards case charges a more clearly defined group of defendants: insiders at one company (CMKM) and people who enabled them. Additionally, in the course of investigating and litigating the Edwards criminal case, government personnel in the District of Nevada have not encountered any evidence indicating that a government agency conducted a sting operation against naked short sellers of CMKM stock. Government personnel in the District of Nevada have also not come across any evidence of any settlement fund (much less any settlement fund with trillions of dollars) potentially available to pay possible claims of CMKM shareholders. The criminal investigation in the District of Nevada resulting in the United States v. John Edwards, et al., indictment involved no sting operation. We hope this statement clarifies the differences between United States v. John Edwards, et al., with the facts alleged in David Anderson, et al., v. Christopher Cox, et al. The public is reminded that defendants are innocent until proven guilty. Thank you. www.justice.gov/usao/nv/victim_witness/case_updates_jedwards.html |

By: alrich  Cobell Payments to Native Americans Begin 12 December 2012 Professionals Keith M. Harper Services Native American Litigation WASHINGTON, DC (December 12, 2012) -- Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton announced that the federal judge overseeing the historic Cobell settlement authorized $1,000 payments to begin for approximately 325,000 Native Americans. “With this authorization from Judge Hogan, we are working non-stop to get this first round of checks to as many class members as possible before Christmas,” said Keith Harper of the Kilpatrick Townsend law firm representing the plaintiffs. Lead by the late Elouise Cobell, several Native Americans filed a class action lawsuit in 1996 against the government for mismanaging their individual trust lands and monies. After years of intensive litigation, a $3.4 billion settlement was reached in 2009, approved by Congress in 2010, and held to be fair by Judge Hogan in 2011. All of the appeals were dismissed or withdrawn by late November and the government has funded the settlement. Following these first payments, a further payment will be made in 2013 after a process is completed to identify the Native Americans entitled to receive that second payment. That process, according to Judge Hogan’s order, is scheduled to run through July 2013 and payments will then be issued once all the recipients can be determined. It is estimated that the minimum amounts of the second payments will be approximately $800, but some people will receive more depending on the monies recorded by the government as being generated by their trust assets. Judge Hogan also approved a program to provide further notice about the process for identifying potential members of the class to receive the second payments though many people in that class will not need to do anything to receive the second payment. More information on the settlement can be found at the Claims Administrator’s website: cobellsettlement.com/. Media contact: Bill McAllister 703-385-6996. ### www.kilpatricktownsend.com/en/Knowledge_Center/Newsroom/News_Releases/2012/12/Cobell_Payments_to_Native_Americans_Begin.aspxBy: Tramp and keep watching the fiscal cliff for any developments of a agreement...for now they are stalling.. but..when they say agreement.. watch your doorbells.... If we round up the second payment to $1,000 1,000 x 325,000= 325,000,000 1,000 x 325,000= 325,000,000 ----------------------------------------- 3,400,000,000 - 650,000,000 = $2,750,000,000 unaccounted for, that goes to who?  Unless I missed something.  Tony P. |

We were told that all programs had to be funded before any could be released. Then we were told that all programs would be released within hours, or days of each other, that they all had to be released together. So was all that info just more cmkx bull. I guess we wait and see what this week brings. Jamminjoe
