Lawyer Representing Plaintiff in AARO Broadband Wireless Communications Case Comments On Fraud Judgments



OKLAHOMA CITY, June 29, 2001--Three lawsuits recently filed over allegations of securities fraud by AARO Broadband Wireless Communications, Inc., (OTCBB Symbol AARW) have resulted in judgments exceeding $530,000 against the company according to Rogers, Arkansas based attorney John Dodge who represents AARO shareholders Jim Steele, Mel Robinson and Paul Bryan.

Dodge said the judgments stem from three separate cases heard in two different Arkansas Courts earlier this month. Court records show the company refused to answer allegations of violation of state and federal securities fraud statutes.

The court judgments cite AARO for concealing materially adverse information in its SEC reports filed during the past year, preparing and filing false or misleading financial statements and violating federal anti-fraud provisions of federal securities regulations in connection with its operations in the last 13-months.

As word of the judgments began to circulate among shareholders, Dodge said his office became inundated with phone calls from AARO shareholders. AARO was based in Springdale, Arkansas until last May when it moved to Oklahoma City and tried to become a wireless internet service provider.

"We have been unsuccessful in our attempts to communicate with AARO management. Their phones remain unanswered for over a week now, except by an answering machine. Our inability to engage them in any dialog about their intentions regarding satisfying the judgments forces us to now execute on the judgments," Dodge said.

"The judgment holders have reached an accord with other large AARO shareholders and have developed a plan to assure continuity of company operations. A planned involuntary bankruptcy on AARO has been delayed to see if a restructuring plan can be developed. We are prepared to file it, however, if we see company assets being converted, wasted or jeopardized by anyone," said Dodge.

Dodge said "An institutional investor has agreed to a conditional plan that calls for it to infuse up to $750,000 into AARO over a six-month period. That commitment is conditioned upon a change of control while AARO restructures. The capital infusion will be used to conduct a special mid-year audit to determine the company's true financial condition and stabilize operations."

"As a contingency, my clients have recruited an executive staff and board to be led by a local university business professor. They are prepared to try to return the corporation to a 'going concern' status as quickly as possible, in the event of a change of control," Dodge said.

to Aarow Environmental. Ms. Camp states that she did sign the agreement without
reading the complete document and she now claims that she did not receive the
proper amount of shares for her interest in Utica Publishing.

Because of the recent filing of this case, the Company is currently unable to
assess the merits of the claims made; however, we believe the merits to be
questionable. The Company is vigorously defending this case and intends to
pursue any claims that we may have against Ms. Camp.

The address provided for the Genesis Trust is 2104 S. Walton Blvd, Suite 5, Bentonville, Arkansas, an address shared by Genesis Senior Trustee Charles Rusk's mortgage business. In his recorded interview Rusk reported that attorney John Dodge of Springdale, Arkansas "drew up the papers creating the trust". Mr. Dodge is corporate counsel and Vice President of Golf Entertainment. Dodge also represented the trust in previous litigation against AARO Broadband. Golf's Bolt was party to AARO litigation arising out of his sale of Utica Publishing to AARO.

Genesis Trustee Mel Robinson was personally represented by Dodge as recently as October 2001 in litigation against AARO. A Robinson deposition obtained from public case records also reveals that Robinson's acquaintance with Golf's Bolt was more than casual. Bolt and Robinson were in fact business partners in Bolt's Utica Publishing business. They may have first become acquainted at the El Reno Federal Correctional Facility during overlapping terms of imprisonment for mail and wire fraud charges.

Stroud to Become First AARO Wireless Village

DATELINE: OKLAHOMA CITY, July 19, 2000

BODY:
AARO Broadband Wireless Communications, Inc.
(OTC:AARO), a subsidiary of AAROW Environmental Group,
Inc., announced today that Stroud, Oklahoma, will become
America's first AARO Broadband "Wireless Village" when
service is launched July 26.

A news conference and wireless network demonstration will
take place at 10 a.m., July 26, at the Stroud City Hall, 220 W.
Second Street. Oklahoma Lt. Governor Mary Fallin and a host
of local and state officials will attend the launch. AARO will
demonstrate Voice over IP, video conferencing and other
technologies available in Stroud as a result of obtaining
"Wireless Village" status.

According to AARO President and CEO, launching
high-speed wireless service in the rural Oklahoma town of
2,600 is the first step toward bridging the "Digital Divide"
which plagues so many small communities throughout the
United States.

"Right now, several local government agencies and the Sac
and Fox Indian tribe are all sharing a single 1.5 megabit
connection in Stroud. If you are a business, you cannot get
anything faster than a slow dial-up connection. The 'Wireless
Village' concept will change all of that," Baker said.

"Our plans will initially triple the capabilities of the local
Internet connection by deploying a network of wireless,
high-speed antennas."

As a "Wireless Village," Stroud's City Hall, police department,
fire department, ambulance service, library and eventually the
new hospital will all be connected via a high-bandwidth
wireless network. According to Baker, the wireless connection
will also improve the service to the Sac and Fox Indian Nation,
headquartered in Stroud.

Under the "Wireless Village" model, AARO has provisioned
two high-speed T-1 connections. Using a network of six to 10
antennas, AARO will redistribute the signal throughout the
community.

"Initially, the potential public safety and public service
applications for this service are phenomenal. People who
choose to live in a small town deserve access to the same type
of telecommunications infrastructure that exists in larger
communities," Baker said.

"Eventually, we will be able to offer a faster, more affordable
alternative to businesses in Stroud."

Baker said Stroud is Oklahoma's and America's first "Wireless
Village." He said the company intends to build similar projects
initially in communities up and down the turnpike between
Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Eventually, AARO hopes to offer
the "Wireless Village" concept as an alternative for
"disconnected" small communities throughout AARO's
service area.

"There is a tremendous need for high-speed access
throughout rural America. Stroud, for instance, lost 700 jobs
and more than $70,000 per month in sales tax revenue as the
result of a tornado in May 1999," he said.

"The lack of a strong telecommunications infrastructure has
hindered the community's efforts to rebuild its economy. As a
"Wireless Village," Stroud now has some of the tools it needs
to compete for new business and industry with many of its
larger neighbors."

In addition to its series of "Wireless Villages," AARO intends
to deploy high-speed wireless Internet access and
productivity-driven applications services in more than 30 U.S.
markets over the next 12 months. For additional information

"Energas, Potomac Energy and Arrow Environment Group, three companies related to his investigation of another Oklahoma-based company called Broadband Wireless International (BBAN) in the spring and summer of 2000."

"UPDATE: Prosecutor: Ex-FBI Agent Traded In Cos He Probed

01-05-05 05:48 PM EST
(Adds additional testimony and background information beginning in the 11th paragraph.)

By Carol S. Remond

Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Former FBI special agent Jeffrey Royer invested in the stocks of companies he was looking into while working in Oklahoma City, prosecutors maintained in a Brooklyn courtroom Wednesday.

Evidence introduced in the criminal case against short seller Anthony Elgindy and Royer shows that the former agent traded in the stock of Energas, Potomac Energy and Arrow Environment Group, three companies related to his investigation of another Oklahoma-based company called Broadband Wireless International (BBAN) in the spring and summer of 2000.

Royer had also traded in Broadband Wireless stock shortly before he opened an FBI inquiry into the company and an insider named Don Knight. Royer told jurors Wednesday that he didn't inform his supervisor about his trading at the time of the opening of the Broadband Wireless probe because it "was not my responsibility. I thought (my previous supervisor) had told him."

Royer and Elgindy are charged in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York with securities fraud, market manipulation and extortion. The government alleges that Royer passed classified government information to Elgindy and others, who used it to profit from selling short the stock of companies and on occasion, extort discounted shares from them.

Testifying in his own defense, Royer told jurors this week that he shared information with Elgindy and others only for the purpose of gathering new information. The former FBI agent said he did not violate FBI guidelines prohibiting the sharing of confidential information because he was working to eradicate stock fraud. Royer was assigned to a securities fraud squad in Oklahoma City until August 2000, and he worked on crimes on Indian reservations from September 2000 to December 2001 when he left the bureau and went to work for Elgindy.

Royer told jurors Wednesday that he received documents related to potential stock fraud at Potomac and Energas from an informant in June 2000. Under cross- examination by Assistant U.S. Attorney Seth Levine, Royer said he didn't think it was wrong for him, two alleged associates also charged in the case, and his former girlfriend, to trade in the stocks because the companies were not under investigation at the time.

"Nothing was going on (at Energas and Potomac)...I did not consider (the documents) as evidence," Royer told prosecutor Levine.

Yet, evidence shows that just two months later, Royer included Energas and Potomac in a proposal for an undercover FBI task force as examples of the type of securities fraud that the task force would be able to crush.

Evidence introduced in court Wednesday also showed that Royer passed himself as an FBI agent in the spring of 2002, months after he left the bureau. A tape recording showed that Royer introduced himself as an agent working for the bureau in Oklahoma City to a Securities and Exchange Commission attorney.

E-mails between Royer and Elgindy showed that the two worked together to make sure that the former agent would not leave the bureau before he signed a letter of recommendation to support the early release of Elgindy from probation related to an insurance fraud case for which the San Diego short seller did time in Texas in 2000.

The FBI probe into Elgindy and Royer started out as a terrorism investigation following the Sept. 11 attacks in the U.S. and later shifted into a securities fraud case.

Documents introduced in evidence show that Royer in mid-October 2001 tapped into FBI databases to view reports detailing Elgindy's possible link to terrorism that were made shortly after the attacks. Among the reports viewed by Royer was one filed by Vicky Liviakis on Sept. 17, 2001. Vicky is the wife of John Liviakis, a stock promoter who had been a target of Elgindy in the past. David Ross, a broker at Salomon Smith Barney, also filed a report on Sept. 30, 2001, related to the timing of some of Elgindy's trading or intentions to trade. Matt Tyson, a former partner of Elgindy's who had a fallout with the short seller, also filed a report with the FBI.

Royer admitted in court that he spent time reviewing these reports. He said that he did not share any of that information with Elgindy.

Prosecutor Levine Wednesday afternoon introduced evidence showing that Royer made telephone calls to Derrick Cleveland, another trader charged in the case who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud, shortly after searching FBI databases in October 2001. Logs of telephone conversations also show that Royer called Elgindy on Oct. 17 after he searched FBI databases about the terrorism investigation.

Royer testified that despite his review of the FBI case file, he didn't know that Elgindy was under investigation when he went to work for him in January 2002. According to earlier testimony, a Department of Justice official in charge of the FBI probe had told Royer that Elgindy was under investigation in November 2001. But Royer argued in court Wednesday that nothing he saw in the FBI file indicated that Elgindy was a target of the investigation.

After he left the FBI and moved to San Diego to work with Elgindy, Royer asked his then-girlfriend, FBI agent Lynn Wingate, to search the bureau's databases for him. Telephone logs in evidence show that Wingate and Royer were in communication before and after she searched Elgindy's, Royer's and her name in FBI databases.

After she searched FBI databases on April 18, 2002, Wingate called Royer and told him that he should distance himself from Elgindy. Wingate also is charged in the case. She pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to go on trial later this year.

Royer's cross-examination is scheduled to end Thursday. Closing arguments are scheduled to start Monday.
