As related to our licensing case, the issue of “trustworthinessâ€? is a problem of the fiber of state officials — including the many DOS attorneys who have condoned the selective enforcement of the AIV law against MLX and myself.

Though a pawn in the scheme of Worldcom’s massive fraud, Betty Vinson was sentenced with 5 months of prison time for her role in simply carrying out orders from above.  Judge Barbara Jone said of Vinson, “Had Ms. Vinson refused to do what she was asked, it’s possible this conspiracy might have been nipped in the bud.”

There is no difference between Vinson’s conduct and that of the many DOS players who have caused the demise of MLX’s business and deprived  consumers of millions of dollars of savings. Let’s hope that each New York state official — and in particular licensed attorneys — who has participated in this decade long charade will suffer the consequences to their own professional licenses and reputations as they have wrought upon me.  Only when state officials set the gold standard of conduct will we eradicate corporate misconduct.
