Now we know more about this meeting to silence Stu Haugen:After a constant barrage of slanderous and defamatory public statements, posted by Haugen on the Message Board of Raging Bull, a shareholder of Cashco's invested his own time and money to arrange a meeting with Haugen, his lawyer in the presence of Cashco's attorney of record in Pennsylvania in October 1999. Mr. Haugen, in the presence of his attorney, was informed that against the advice of Cashco's attorney, the Company was prepared to pay Haugen what amounted to “extortion” or “blackmail” in order to avoid paying enormous legal fees. Neither Haugen or his attorney challenged nor denied the accusation. It was also clearly understood that Haugen would be the direct recipient of the funds, not Relate Technologies or its shareholders, which Haugen claimed owned the rights to the Contact Pro Software. Evidently this concerned investor was none other than Tony Boyden . Here then is Stu haugen's account posted Jan 6th, two days before Cashco posted their Letter on their website.I flew to the US (from my home in Paris) on October 20, 1999 to Philadelphia. My attorney and I met at the offices of Gerry McConomy, the attorney for IDFR/CSHK during the afternoon of October 21. Present at that meeting were Tony Boyden, George Palmer, Gerry McConomy (attorney for Boyden, IDFR, CSHK), an associate of McConomy's firm, my attorney and myself. Let's say that this meeting was important enough to Boyden that he paid all my expenses and all those of my attorney (who invested a full day plus travel). That payment was made to our accounts (my personal account and my attorney's firm) directly by Boyden. Boyden paid out a total of $5200 for our combined expenses. We reached an agreement in principle that afternoon and initialed points of agreement. Boyden's attorneys were to draft the agreements and money was to have flowed to Relate in the short-term. This agreement would have resolved our claims against IDFR/CSHK through payment of cash. Draw your own conclusions. During our meeting, the following was made clear. CSHK was being "deemphasized" in the words of Boyden. Boyden and Rhonda Windsor share a residence in Canada as well as the e-mail address roni@home.com. I imagine that this is the "corporate headquarters" that you are being referred to. http://www.ragingbull.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=CSHK&read=1841 What comes from the two accounts of this meeting? 1. Money was paid to Stu and his attorney personally, but it looks like it was to reimburse expenses for the meeting itself. 2. Tony Boyden is portrayed by Rhonda as a shareholder/a concerned investor . But from Stu's account we see that Tony Boyden was apparently negotiating on behalf of Cashco. 3. In fact it seems that Rhonda may have been far more coy about Tony Boyden here as revealed by Stu's account. They are living at the same address? My that is cozy now isn't it? Tony Boyden was identified early on here as doing IR for CSHK. But we have seen semi-official denials that he was involved with the company at all. Does that mean the Rebecca Jo Del Medico was lying when she apparently posted that he played no role? Or was she lied to by Rhonda and relied on that representation? 4. Are reports of Tony Boyden's prior felony problems for making threats in a prior business relationship the reason he may be playing such a silent role here? Has he really been so silent even? Might some of Rhonda's posts actually be from Tony? Just how involved is Mr. Boyden here?
