While I agree that it would not take too much time to notify a person that a subpoena has been issued for their information, SI may have determined that notification is not in the companies best interest for legal reasons. Has SI addressed the fact as to whether or not they advise members of subpoena requests or not? And if they do, what is their policy? If they do notify members, how has it been done in the past? Then if there is a sudden change in the way SI is operating concerning requested information, a member would have some standing on past practice. Maybe someone with a hook here at SI could get a few of these questions answered and give members a clearer understanding of how SI operates concerning administrative subpoenas.

When somebody supoenas AOL for a user's identity, AOL sends the user a FedEx to inform the user.

I know this because yesterday I received such a FedEx from AOL. I had sent an anonymous email to the SEC, giving them information about company X. (I figured the SEC might be interested, because they had temporarily halted the trading of the stock).

I don't know why the SEC didn't just reply to my email and tell me they wanted to talk to me, which I will of course be happy to do, but for whatever reason they subpoened AOL to get my identity.

AOL's FedEx told me that they would reply to the SEC, providing them my identity and address, after about 8 days. It also included a copy of the subpoena.

The reason I mention this is that it illustrates how AOL handles subpoenas in a perfectly reasonable way. I don't see why SI can't bother to automatically contact its users, too.

Discovery Questions:

Topic: Establish Identity of Lynn Briggs

I think it is important that when we finally get to start discovery on ZSUN that we pin down Lynn Briggs.

We have evidence that Lynn Briggs was the CEO of ZSUN, prior to Tobin.

We need to establish the following:

1) Did Briggs have a position or ownership interest at IAM?
2) Did Briggs have a position or ownership interest at PT Dolok Permai?
3) Did Briggs have a position or ownership interest at Amber?
4) Did Briggs have a position or ownership interest at Veritas?
5) Did Briggs have any interest in the other stocks in the group?
6) Did any of these financial firms (IAM, Oxford, PT Dolok Permai, Amber (now called World Financial) participate in placing ZSUN/BTTF securites?
7) If Briggs was (or still is) involved with these shady brokerages did he disclose in the ZSUN/BTTF offering memoranda this conflict of interest?

Buyer Beware!

Will SI ever answer my question about subpoenas? Or will they continue to pretend they are not listening? Inquiring minds want to know.
