Funny you said stone sociopaths, i.e., people without any conscience. They think because of their travails in life they're somehow owed by the world, and so it's perfectly acceptable to destroy people on their pilgrim path.

Also funny for another reason you said that about sociopaths, because I filed this statement in federal court in Virginia, concerning Berber:

Alternating episodes of delusions of grandeur and persecution anxiety are hallmarks of the sociopathic mind.

In other words, they get high like a crack addict on their web of net lies gains them, and the financial rewards; then someone finally unravels them, and they accuse anyone and everyone of being "paranoid" or "Big Brother."

I've learned more about pleadings since then. I filed that, then, with evidence supporting that statement, in response to the filing of materially false statements and end runs around the jurisdiction of that court by Berber and his racketeering co-conspirators, especially Leslie M. Moor. The statement is true; nevertheless, it's always better to emphasize the facts boldly and leave the conclusions to the jury, who can see right through the kind of chicanery I've alleged Berber used to defraud thousands of Americans. Berber made thousands of statements here on SI, most of them through aliases like Edward Collins, Dr. Risk, et al. In the end, I believe that he'll be required to answer these allegations, and at that point he may run into some problems, because I swore them out under oath in two federal courts with good cause, meaning I can prove what I say.

Here are some statements Berber made in the media - warning: read on an empty stomach:

August 20, 2000; Austin-American Statesman:

“The truth is, this is a business. But instead of personal gain, you measure success in terms of human profit and social gain.”

August 27, 2000; New York Times:

“People like ourselves want to more than write a hollow check…We looked at traditional charities and were just not satisfied.”

September 1, 2000; Austin local KXAN-TV:

“The measure of success, the benchmark for the New Philanthropist is social impact…the number of lives or souls that you reach…”

September 13, 2000; KXAN:

“Most people have heard of ‘blind-eyed’ because it’s not in their back garden, and they don’t see and feel the pain…What we’re doing is saying it’s not ok to turn your back…For the next seven generations of people, a long-term, financially viable, global charitable organization, with a blueprint that doesn’t really exist on the planet at the moment…This is an entrepreneurial new model in philanthropy that we’re creating here.”

September 25, 2000; CNBC:

“The Berber Family Trust has made an initial pledge of 100 million dollars.”

Compare to Los Angeles Times on November 3, 2002:

“Contrary to the damaging impression created by your article, our pledge of $100 million to the foundation has been honored.“

September 25, 2000; CNBC:

“So we really are seeking to put all three of ourselves to make a difference in the lives and the souls that we seek to touch. We were drawn to the pain and suffering…We heard those cries loudest.”

September 25, 2000; Fox New:

“In many ways this is a drop in the ocean. And yet Mother Teresa once said that the ocean would be that much poorer for that one drop….Our 100 million dollars is going to scratch the surface…Our hearts were open to help others…I am a New Philanthropist…I’m seeking to set an example…What I’m doing as a guardian or custodian of [wealth] is seeking to redistribute it for the well-being and benefit of others.”

November 18, 2000; Irish Times:

“We have followed our hearts to Ethiopia and I feel there has been a sense of divine guidance…We want to help relieve some of the pain on the planet.”

February 19, 2001; local Austin K-Eye TV:

“Through our works so many people’s prayers are being answered. It is humbling…to be able to be a servant or a messenger in the process of, really, God doing His work. I mean, we’re just servers and we’re sent.”

March 12, 2001; Eweek.com:

[Ill-gotten gains obtained through racketeering in March 2000] enabled Donna and I to fulfill a lifelong dream of helping others to help themselves and making a difference in people’s lives.”

May 20, 2001; Austin Business Journal:

“I never tried to be a corporate manager. It is not my bag. My heart was drawn to A Glimmer of Hope…When all things were considered, it became more important for me to devote my time and energy to resources for the well being of others as opposed to commercial gain. Both of us felt and feel the pain on the planet. “

September 6, 2001; Westlake Picayune:

“We turned the industry upside down. We were one of the catalysts pushing the traditional players, the regulators…Our software empowered the individual. The customer, the buyer and the seller they were the ones to benefit. We offered a fast, real-time method of buying and selling stock, which was highly suited for day traders. We connected people electronically and directly through the Internet, bypassing the traditional broker. We were at least three years ahead of E*Trade at the time. We never expected to come into that large a sum of money. We were focused on building a profitable business…Only in the last year did we look at valuations. We were not seduced into Wall Street talk. It’s not about the money. It’s about the journey. The money is the by-product. It’s about being a pioneer and creating new technologies that embraced the Internet and empowered the individual investor. I worked very hard and I was blessed…With the grace of God and a lot of strategy and work, the ball came off the bat for the last time and it cleared the stadium. You have to be crazy to be a pioneer, to believe that there is a better way…Now, just as we thought with [his previous "business"] about the financial markets, we believe A Glimmer of Hope will redefine international aid. It’s one of my driving reasons. We don’t
want to repeat the failure of that model where the waste and mismanagement have been criminal…The rules that applied to making the wealth, apply to its redistribution.”

October 6, 2001; KXAN:

“People have asked me, ‘How was it Berber that you sold just two weeks before NASDAQ peaked?’ I said, ‘Well, that’s very easy…You know, it was the Great Investment Banker in the Sky.’ And, I believe that.”

September 15, 2002; British RTE TV:

“I just have a new job now, a very honoured and privileged one, a custodian of some of God’s wealth, and I’m responsible for
redistributing it for the well-being of others.”
