At the May 30th meeting my notes indicate that the full list of affected
investors was on his site. Perhaps I misunderstood, but it makes sense that his
firm would have the full list. I’ll try to see if I can secure it.
My job is going to DSHS some time next week as are the preparations for that
farm trip but if I start each morning with the Hamstreet folks I may have luck.
I’m happy to input any list they have into the invite list for the listserv.

Robert and Eva Johnson sent letters. Do they perhaps have a list that was
typed that could be used?
I wonder if Hamstreet would share emails.
I wonder just how many lawsuits are actively going on against American
Equities, Ross Miles.

Well, it's likely that there are a good number of people involved that are
not into computers and email, etc. Mailing addresses with a well written
letter to help bring that 160 up to speed and interested in helping
financially needs to happen very quickly. I liked the point that Denise made
about contributing what you can or are comfortable with providing. And I
will note, I, for one, don't expect to be paid interest! :-)

There are 38 on the aem-vanc list serve. There are the others, some 200 of
us in the affected pools. We had just about 25 at that last meeting with
the Roy Thompson lawyer. Is it possible to get a list serve that accesses
the in boxes of the other 160?

I am in agreement with those who pay for the legal team DEFINITELY be
reimbursed first. However to set a "required" amount is something not
everyone would be to do. Many of us do not have liquid assets to be able
to contribute a multi thousand dollar amount. With that being said , I
will GLADLY contribute what I can. 1 or 2 thousand now and smaller
amounts later. Believe me... if I had it I would contribute more. I'm sure
there are some people who are in a better financial state than others. So
if EVERYONE could contribute what they can I feel certain we will get to
where we need to be.

Agree with you Bill. Contributions to attorney fees paid first as
hopefully it bares fruit, increasing funds for all. Thx for your review
Bill.

Fellow investors,
Please take the time to think through our common dilemma.
The scope of our problem requires us to act and function together. No
single investor can afford to pursue this independently. It is tempting
to single out each group of Investors for each LLC as a possible way to
recoup our losses. It might be possible, but with all the co-mingling
of LLC funds, loans, fees, bonuses, the web of transactions are bound
to be very complex and very difficult to independently unravel.
Therefore, I feel it appropriate to join together as one investor group
to pursue possible asset recovery. I do ,however, remain open to expert
legal advice.
A key issue to remember is that any information from AEM. Ross Miles
and anyone associated with him is irrevocably tainted. There may be a
mixture of slight truth, but the resulting conversations have to be
viewed with great skepticism and most likely disregarded as misleading,
incorrect and most likely an out right lie.
I am waiting for a letter from Mr. Thompson, Bob & Eva Johnson’s
Attorney, before contributing to a legal fund for us to provide
resources to proceed, post-haste, to rescue any possible assets. This
should occur this week.
I encourage others to weigh our options carefully before throwing good
money after bad, but my own opinion is that we must pursue this case. I
pray it is the best option, but I cannot do nothing.
I believe that Trey Tennyson is correct that in retaining Gary Grenley
of Garvey Schubert Barer. His firm is large enough and able to pursue
complicated securities litigation appropriately. I do remain open to
interview other firms, but I don’t know enough attorneys to make this
decision without the input of others.
Roy Thompson’s full, multiple barrel approach to pursue everyone and
anyone involved in any transaction appears to be the best advice we
have received so far. It is only by pursuing every pocket can we even
begin know if and where assets may be found.
To those who are unable to find additional resources: please be of good
courage. Remember, I am of the opinion that we are in this together. I
am willing to spend additional funds for our behalf and other investors
are as well. So do not despair, but I also think it is fair and
reasonable that those who have the resources and can contribute, should
be repaid legal fees first, before a fair and pro rata distribution of
the remaining available assets is completed. In this way, it would
allow those with remaining assets to fund our joint legal battle and
still hold together for the benefit of all investors in the group.
This is a challenging time. Please, do what you have to to get through
this as best you can on a daily basis. It is a reminder for us to
remember the truly important things in our lives: our God, our
families, our friends and our communities. These are the relationships
and connections which are of true value and of true importance. Enjoy
those you love. No one can take that away.
Until later, respectfully,
Bill Pritchard
