Well Frenchy we have you perjuring yourself since your singed deposition to the court differs entirely from this post: To: Lou Farrell (1815 ) From: Francois Goelo Tuesday, May 18 1999 11:02AM ET Reply # of 6514 Most interesting RB post on ZSUN from another New Zealander: Vlekpa... "To GRUMMAN I am like you. I bought into ZSUN without any research, relying on the broker's recommendation. I was a very happy man when it went up through the roof. Now I am less happy. My broker advises me to hold on. Apparently the short position is worth $8mln. They have to cover it some day. I bombarded Ziasun with my "I am very concerened" and "I demand some action" e-mails. Got a very nice reply from John Hirsch and many phone calls from my broker. They sound very confident. My stockholding is too small for them to keep me in. I am not worth their time and money spent on the phone calls. I believe they have something in the making to surprise the shorters. And they are very confident that the second quarter financial results (showing profits from the onlone training company; I uderstand the $0.11 profit per share is generated by Swiftrade only) will be great. There is one more thing which makes me hold on. You may have read those negative postings about John Cronin. Actually I have had a very good experience with him. I applied for Swiftrade account on line. I got a phone call from John (I am in NZ). He spent good 45 minutes on the phone, giving me a lot of good advise. But what impressed me most was, that he advised me against opening a marigin account. In his opinion I was not ready to take such risks. My loss - his profit, and still ... The rebuttal was very good, but much too late. This stock will take off, the shorts themselve will push it up. With good financial reports and new announcements (Nasdaq ?) it should be a money maker. If it happens the shorts will not touch it again. Have I helped? Yes, you have helped a great deal in dispelling some innuendoes from another Kiwi. Regards, F. Goelo + + +

You're next: "Stock Trader Sentenced to Prison: A stock trader who was convicted of using insider information to make hundreds of thousands of dollars was sentenced Wednesday to two to six years in state prison and fined $150,000. Supreme Court Justice Edward McLaughlin sentenced Vincent M. Napolitano, 33, who was convicted Nov. 17 of possession of stolen property, scheme to defraud, and violations of the state's business law. Prosecutors, who charged that Napolitano tried to scare witnesses by telling them he was an organized crime figure, asked the judge to sentence him to five to 15 years and fine him $441,124 - double his illegal profit. 'He wanted them to be fearful and afraid to testify,' Assistant District Attorney Adam Reeves told McLaughlin. 'He's not a naive and innocent person. He has led a life of crime.' Napolitano, of Queens, operated a securities trading business in the mid-1990s. He was one several people accused of receiving insider information from Marisa Baridis, a securities company compliance officer. An indictment charged that he profited by information he got from Baridis, who at the time worked for Smith Barney Inc. and later Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Discover & Co., both of which are securities firms. Baridis, 32, pleaded guilty to federal charges in December 1997 and was sentenced to probation in December 1999. Defense lawyer David Lewis pleaded for leniency, telling McLaughlin that Napolitano has a pregnant wife and two small children Sobbing as he spoke just before sentencing, Napolitano said, 'I just want to apologize to the court and to my friends and family. I learned a lesson. I made a mistake and I'm paying for it.'
