Good morning Julia and investors,
I have been in contact with the law firms Esler Stephens and Larkins
Vacura Kaysar. These two firms
co-counsel with each other and offer the most successful securities
litigation on the West Coast. They are
in the process of investigating the viability of the claims related to the
American Equities EAGLES collapse.
They will be conferring with Clyde Hamstreet and Gary Grenley next week.
These law firms experience and expertise in securities fraud leads them
in the direction that American Equities
co-mingled funds and/or have connections tying them together outside of the
"pools". They are focused on parties
and entities that may have helped and enabled American Equities pull off
this ponzi scheme.
At the July 25th meeting, Mr. Roy Thompson stressed the importance of a
large law firm to handle our situation; Larkins
Vacura Kaysar fits that criteria. Mr. Thompson also stressed the fact of
joining together to fund this lawsuit; I suggest 1%
of your loss be contributed to this fund.
A letter to ALL investors has never materialized. It is the utmost
urgency to reach out to everybody that has a monetary
investment so they are aware what is happening. A request for their phone
number and e-mail address will be asked.
If Larkins Vacura Kaysar accepts our case, they will be able to pursue
criminal charges and attempt to recoup our investments
in the pool as well as outside the pools.
I will let you know ASAP as soon as they make the decision!!
HANG IN THERE!!
Al Elkins

Subject: [aem-vanc] Re: Litigation Fund
It’s a big risk. I would feel more inclined if people had thought that
Gary Grenley did well in court, but I got the impression that was not the
case.
If he couldn’t, for whatever reason, litigate us out of this phony rigged
receivership, what are the chances for anything else?
I’m just being practical here. It’s litigation we’re talking about,
and the prospect has not been made hopeful thus far.

Mike,
Thank you for your vote of confidence. We also feel that few people want to
or are afraid to get involved monetarily. However, we are still in it to win
it. Below is the address and directions for sending a check to Roy
Thompson’s firm. No money will be spent until a direction is determined,
and that direction will only be determined by the contributors. At the
Thompson meeting in Tigard, most people agreed to $5000. We also agree that
5-10% of what is owed is an acceptable amount to contribute.
If you are ready to fight, it is time to get your contribution in to the
fund. No more discussion, no more dilly dallying, just write the check. It
is now or never.
Thompson Bogran PC
5 Centerpointe Dr., Suite 400A
Lake Oswego, OR 97035
Please note that my firm is creating a separate Client Trust Account
specifically related to this potential legal action. Any retainer
checks should be made out to the following Client Trust Account:

Mr Thompson,
Very creative thinking, I like it.
However, 10 to 25 cents on the dollar on a bunch of assets whose value
is low to unknown is not going to entice the receiver (much less
his/Ross’ counsel) away from a million dollars in billings. I think
at this rate, between them, they will bill a half million by year end,
easily, and will lengthen the engagement by any means necessary.
However, I am in favor of anything that dissolves the receivership. I

I reiterate my previous assertion that no ethical person would have

Dear American Equities/American Eagle Investors:
As some of you may know, my name is Roy Thompson and I'm the senior
partner in the Lake Oswego law firm, Thompson Bogran PC. My firm
arranged, at the behest of my clients, Rob and Eva Johnson, the recent
July 25th meeting at which I spoke and in which some of you
participated, either personally or on the phone at the Oregon State
Bar.
I and some other attorneys and investors are considering forming an
LLC called "American Equities Recovery, LLC" which is intended to take
advantage of a ruling from the Court on August 2nd. During that
hearing, the Court approved of the process which is sometimes called
"bottom feeding," which essentially allows other investors or third
parties to purchase and/or sell the investment interests of others as
part of the Receivership. I propose to create the AER in order to
make an offer to pay the Receiver between 10 to 25 cents on the dollar
for all assets in the receivership. The offer would be in a form of a
Note, payable in 5 years at 3% interest. Once formed, we would file a
motion with the Court to accept this Note in payment, which would
effectively end the need for a Receivership, thus ending the current
need for legal and receivership fees.
This would also avoid the necessity of placing your money in a
litigation fund because I would propose that your payment to the LLC
would make you a member of the LLC. The LLC would in turn have a
management committee to oversee the hiring of the legal team and the
prosecution of any actions against Mr. Miles and any other persons or
entities the legal team believes should be named in any future
actions. In addition to the management committee I believe an advisory
committee of investors also be informed and kept in "the loop" on all
legal proceedings.
I hope this proposal finds you all well and I look forward to your
input.

Mike,
Thank you for your vote of confidence. We also feel that few people want to
or are afraid to get involved monetarily. However, we are still in it to win
it. Below is the address and directions for sending a check to Roy
Thompson’s firm. No money will be spent until a direction is determined,
and that direction will only be determined by the contributors. At the
Thompson meeting in Tigard, most people agreed to $5000. We also agree that
5-10% of what is owed is an acceptable amount to contribute.
If you are ready to fight, it is time to get your contribution in to the
fund. No more discussion, no more dilly dallying, just write the check. It
is now or never.

At the early July meeting at the Peachtree restaurant we did pull together a

I’d like to review those names and see if we could gather at least one or

I appreciate the clear message and reality check that Mr Thompson

back in sending a check until the results of the August 2 hearing were
known and a go-forward strategy was put forth so that I would have a
better sense of how this might proceed. We clearly have some remarkable
individuals who are deeply involved in research, making key contacts and
reporting back to the email group. However, I feel that a key missing

a single individual, so would like to suggest that perhaps 3-5 people
volunteer to step forward to form a steering committee which can use their

Receivership
Message from Roy Thompson, attorney for Rob and Eva Johnson
To American Equity Investors
I appreciate all the discussion and commentary about my recent suggestion
regarding the formation of an LLC, as well as the formation of a
litigation fund to pursue those individuals and/or entities not part of
the Washington Receivership.
However, the upshot is that other than receiving a check from two
investors, no one else has sent any other amounts that I am aware of
either to my or Mr. Grenley’s firms. In case you weren’t aware, we
imposed a thirty day deadline to ascertain the interest of you as
investors to establish a litigation fund. I have been approached directly
by some investors who have voiced support both for my ideas and the
litigation fund, and I appreciate their words and actions to date.
However, I represent Rob and Eva Johnson only, and unless there is
appreciable movement towards some resolution within the 30 day window, I
and my law firm will withdraw from any further action in this matter,
other than to support our clients, and only our clients.
I am hopeful there will be some among you who will take it upon yourself
to try to take a lead and advocate for a position that will attempt to
move this matter forward. Again, my firm’s involvement to date has only
been to attempt to facilitate a communal effort on all of your parts to
seek solutions beyond the current Receivership matter. If you are all
able to come together and select a law firm to lead this charge, I have
already stated that my firm cannot and will not take the lead, as this
matter is more appropriately led by a larger firm with more assets
available. My law firm specializes in tax and business litigation, and
both my partner and myself possess advanced tax degrees and have broad
experience with financial tracing efforts for litigation purposes. I have
advocated for Gary Grenley’s firm to take the lead, and Mr. Grenley has
indicated his firm would be consider taking over the matter if enough of
you sign up and contribute to either a litigation fund or s
Frankly, it is time for as many of you to come together in some manner and
select a path that makes sense. Yes it is risky; and yes it will be
expensive. I point out that the meeting that was held on July 25th was
supported by Rob and Eva Johnson and this firm and none of us asked for
money to arrange and hold the meeting. There is no way to sugar coat this
issue. Therefore, if this matter is not resolved in some form by August
26th, I will pull my firm out of this matter completely.
I wish you all the best.

Dear American Equities/American Eagle Investors:
As some of you may know, my name is Roy Thompson and I'm the senior
partner in the Lake Oswego law firm, Thompson Bogran PC. My firm
arranged, at the behest of my clients, Rob and Eva Johnson, the recent
July 25th meeting at which I spoke and in which some of you participated,
either personally or on the phone at the Oregon State Bar.
I and some other attorneys and investors are considering forming an LLC
called "American Equities Recovery, LLC" which is intended to take
advantage of a ruling from the Court on August 2nd. During that hearing,
the Court approved of the process which is sometimes called "bottom
feeding," which essentially allows other investors or third parties to
purchase and/or sell the investment interests of others as part of the
Receivership. I propose to create the AER in order to make an offer to
pay the Receiver between 10 to 25 cents on the dollar for all assets in
the receivership. The offer would be in a form of a Note, payable in 5
years at 3% interest. Once formed, we would file a motion with the Court
to accept this Note in payment, which would effectively end the need for a
Receivership, thus ending the current need for legal and receivership fees.
This would also avoid the necessity of placing your money in a litigation
fund because I would propose that your payment to the LLC would make you a
member of the LLC. The LLC would in turn have a management committee to
oversee the hiring of the legal team and the prosecution of any actions
against Mr. Miles and any other persons or entities the legal team
believes should be named in any future actions. In addition to the
management committee I believe an advisory committee of investors also be
informed and kept in "the loop" on all legal proceedings.
I hope this proposal finds you all well and I look forward to your input.

Julia, I have a Roth IRA that miles and friends pilfered, It is at IRA

they received it.

Subject: [aem-vanc] Pensco IRAs
Has anyone heard anything about this? Is there a way that we can be
relieved of paying the IRA fees for IRAs that are now worthless?
I wrote the receiver a short nasty note just now but I probably won't
hear back in any speedy fashion. Does anyone have any information (from
Pensco or elsewhere)?
Yours in penury,
Julia
