~ Apple ~

Apple will be the next company we file a lawsuit against.

Let me start off by saying that Apple is a great company and we really enjoy using their products.  With that being said, obviously something happened to make us go forward and take legal action against the company.

As I’ve stated in a previous post, until Dec. 2011 the only thing we were pretty much able to do with our funds was purchase stock. We couldn’t gain access to our funds any other way for personal use.

In the summer of 2010 we purchased a significant amount of Apple stock for $259.28 a share that would make us one of the largest individual share holders. We were happy to see the stock rise over the years and contemplated selling the stock a couple of times until the dividend was announced in March 2012.

We were very happy to hear that a dividend was going to be issued. We thought this would be a sure fire way for us to get access to some amount of funds. The statement from apple was that the company would begin paying $2.65 a share quarterly dividend beginning in July.

A representative for us contacted Apple in July, August and September asking about the status of our dividend check. Our representative was told that they hadn’t gotten to our last name yet, that it was being done in alphabetical order.

In the latter part of September when the stock price reached $702 we really thought hard about selling at that point. However, we still had no access to our funds and we didn’t know when the FBI would have the issue resolved.  We thought that our dividend from Apple might be the only significant funds we have access to for a while.  We held onto the stock for that reason alone, our dividend.

Our representative continued to contact Apple every month to inquire about the status of our dividend check.  We were able to find out that our last name had already been well passed and still no dividend check.  We thought of two possible scenarios, there was an issue with the mail or the dividend check was never issued.

I’ve documented on this blog about the problems we’ve had with the USPS, so this wouldn’t be a shock to us. However, we were able to find out that it was the latter of the two scenarios. Nobody at Apple could give us a reason as to why the dividend check was never issued. They tried to issue it once again and nothing.

In December 2012, we were able to have Federal agents go into Apple and find out what the problem was. Within a short period of time they were able to find out that the “problem” was the result of an email they had received.

Sometime after March 2012, Apple was sent an email from the Government Agency that’s been harassing us. The email was opened and was asking for account verification in regards to our shares of stock. There was an attachment to this email that was also opened. This attachment was the cause of our dividend not being paid.

Something was now attached to our account that prevented Apple from paying our dividend in their normal format. At this point, Tim Cook was then contacted by our Federal Attorney as well as the FBI.

Tim Cook was brought up to speed on what was going on and what we’ve been through over the last few years. He said he’d do what he could to help. Our Attorney told him that we would gladly accept some new apple products to buy his company some time until the dividend problem was resolved. Tim cook had no problem with this and told our attorney for us to make a list of what we wanted and he’d take care of it.

We made our list and it was sent to Tim Cook. He didn’t have a problem with anything on the list and said he’d also include a $20,000 gift card for any other products we might want.  This order was put in about a week before Christmas. He did tell us that he didn’t think this order would be filled by Christmas and that it would probably be the end of the month or beginning of January. We completely understood and had no problem with it.  All we requested was that the order be sent to our local Apple store and we would pick it up once it was delivered.

Time went by and we hadn’t heard anything. In January our attorney contacted Tim Cook to see where we were on the order, he said that it was going to take a little longer on the computers that we requested. We understood, but questioned why the rest of the order couldn’t be fulfilled. We really weren’t given an answer to that question.

Later in January, Tim Cook was contacted again. He was going to be in Washington D.C. for the President’s inauguration so he’d be able to meet personally with our attorney. Tim Cook really couldn’t explain why the order hadn’t been delivered. In front of our Attorney, he takes out his ipad and orders us a $50,000 Apple gift card. He told our attorney that it could take up to 3 weeks for it to get to our local store.

We waited the 3 weeks and nothing. Tim Cook was contacted to check on the status of the order. He could no longer find the order in their system, it had been taken out somehow. He was also able to see our first initial order had also been taken out of the system.  He told our attorney that he was conducting an emergency meeting over that weekend to find out what was going on and who took the orders out of the system. Our attorney wasn’t really given any information about what happened as a result of that meeting.

We were getting frustrated with this whole process and Tim Cook was told that if he didn’t get something done soon that we’d sell off our stock and pursue legal action against Apple. He was very clear that he didn’t want that to happen.  He told our Attorney that he’d be back on the east coast sometime the following month, which would have been April. He said he’d stop in Kentucky to meet with us and would be bringing us cash and a gift card.

Approaching the end of April, our Attorney contacts Tim Cook as to why he hasn’t called to meet us in Kentucky. Tim Cook “claims” a miscommunication occurred and that it would be sometime at the end of May when he’d be in the area.  At that point, we had enough of the excuses. Tim Cook was told that he had two options that could buy him more time to pay us our dividend and the deadline would be May 3rd by 5:00pm est.

His first option was to get us cash, gift card, or product.  If he wasn’t able to do that in our time frame, then he had another option that he could do from his current location.  We wanted him to issue a public apology to our family for what had happened. In that apology it would describe what took place, who was behind it and that they were doing everything they could to fix the problem and make us happy.  Not only did we want this apology put out in a statement to the media, we also wanted it on the apple website for 48 hrs.

Tim Cook said that issuing a public apology would make the Company look bad.  Really? 

What do we have here?  An Apology, but not to us.

Tim Cook apologizes to China’s Apple consumers on Apple’s Chinese website.

So let me get this straight, Tim Cook can issue a public apology to China’s apple consumers, but NOT to one of its largest individual shareholders?   Sorry Tim Cook, not buying it. You’re full of Shit!!!

We gave Tim Cook until 5:00 p.m. est. on May 3rd to come through with one of those options. He failed to do so.  We found out the weekend of the 4th, that Tim Cook had been to the east coast after all during the last weekend of April. He spent that Friday and Saturday at Duke University being a part of the institution’s “Real Conversations with Real Leaders” sessions.

I guess it was too much for Mr. Tim Cook to stop in Kentucky either on the way to or back from Duke to meet with one of his company’s largest individual shareholders huh? After all, it was someone from his company who opened an email that screwed up the ability for us to get our dividend check.

After finding out about Tim Cook’s visit to Duke and his public apology to China’s apple consumers, we told our Attorney there was no need to continue communications with Tim Cook and that we were done with Apple.

We gave Tim Cook the chance to right a wrong. Instead, he strung us along just as other CEO’s have done that we’ve dealt with.

Please understand, we aren’t “sue happy” people. We give these companies and their CEO several opportunities to rectify the problem. I think part of the problem is, WE KNOW that the Government Agency that’s been harassing us has been behind every single company we’ve went to court with. We want to work with these companies to correct the problem, not take legal action. We are hopeful that maybe ONE of these companies will stand up for itself and stand with us.

As of now, a lawsuit against Apple hasn’t been filed. Motions were submitted this past week in Federal Court to force Apple to pay us our dividend owed, which is several millions right now and to force the sale of our Apple stock.  Because of our lack of access to our investment accounts, we will be asking for our dividend owed as well as our sale of stock to be paid in cash.

Once a decision has been made on our motions, we will then proceed with a Federal lawsuit against Apple.

We never wanted this to get to the point where we file a lawsuit against Apple. We love all of our Apple products and think it’s a great company. We just wanted Tim Cook to take care of the problem like he said he would.

This is on Tim Cook for letting it go this far.

A Change of Plan

I was originally going to post the latest balance with JPMorgan Chase.  I’ve decided against it.  In fact, I will not post any further updates in regards to the penalty and new balance.

We think we’ve finally figured out what Jamie Dimon is really up to and why he’s allowing the number to get ridiculous. The purpose of the penalty was to encourage Jamie Dimon to release our money quickly. It appears he’s had ulterior motives all along in regards to the judge’s order as well as the penalty.

In addition, I’ll be removing or editing all the other posts in regards to the penalty and new balance.

I pretty much had an Aha! Moment last night and the picture became clearer.

Hopefully I’ll be able to explain what all is going on next week when the Judge is back from vacation. 

Also, it will probably be sometime this weekend when I post about a new lawsuit we are filing.

Our Executive Order of Protection

Below you will find exactly what our Executive Order of Protection says.  The only change I made for the blog was our names.  I removed our individual names and used the first name initial followed by Meanss.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows: 

This Executive Order is meant for Protection of J. Meanss, J. Meanss, K. Meanss, T. Meanss and other Meanss family members from any or all harassment from any government agency including but not limited to, Homeland Security: 

Any behavior, activities, or associations which tend to show that the individual is not reliable or trustworthy.

Commission of any act of sabotage, espionage, treason, or sedition, or attempts thereat or preparation therefore, or conspiring with, or aiding or abetting, another to commit or attempt to commit any act of sabotage, espionage, treason, or sedition.

 Intentional, unauthorized disclosure to any person of security information, or of other information disclosure of which is prohibited by law, or willful violation or disregard of security regulations.

There shall be referred promptly to the Federal Bureau of Investigation all investigations being conducted by any other agencies which develop information indicating that an individual may have been subjected to coercion, influence, or pressure to act contrary to the interests of the national security, or information relating to any of the matters. In cases so referred to it, the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall make a full field investigation.

Nothing in this order shall be construed as eliminating or modifying in any way the requirement for any investigation.

After this it is signed by Barack Obama and does bear the Presidential seal.

This order was given to us at the beginning of June 2009 and yet the harassment has continued.

Why “A Meanss to the End”?

I’ve been asked several times about the title of the blog and what it means because of the “ss”.

“Meanss” is an Anagram for our last name. This wasn’t an Anagram that we gave ourselves.

Through various Federal Investigations, it was discovered that “Meanss” was the code word used in reference to us. It was used and is currently used by the person(s) responsible for the harassment and illegal actions that we’ve endured over the last 4+ years.

“A Meanss to the End” is a double entendre.

(1) Everyone who has helped us along the way has become a member of our extended family. If any of these people ever need our help with anything, we will be there for them. They are a member of our family til the end, “A Meanss to the End”

(2) We are “THE” means to the end of the corruption we’ve come across.

The Week of May 6th

During this upcoming week, I will post about the following subjects:

• Why “A Meanss to the End” is the name of the blog
• Our Executive Order of Protection
• The latest balance for JPMorgan Chase & Jamie Dimon
• A new lawsuit we will be filing

Latest with Jamie Dimon & JPMorgan Chase

We’ve been told that Jamie Dimon will be held in contempt of court for not following the courts orders. A subpoena has been sent to Jamie Dimon for him to appear later in May. If he fails to appear, then a bench warrant can be issued for his arrest.

We do have a plan in place to “encourage” Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan Chase to follow the court order and release OUR funds. We will not be able to enact this plan until  later this month, when the Judge gets back from vacation. The element of surprise is key, so the details of this plan will be kept quiet until after it happens. This will be something that the local Media won’t be able to ignore.

Keep in mind, the 1.4 Million wasn’t an award from a lawsuit. This was OUR money that was placed in an escrow account and is being held illegally.

 

 

~As Expected~

As expected, Jamie Dimon failed to comply with the order by the end of business yesterday.

We’ve got a couple “outside the box” ideas in terms of collecting that we are currently exploring and putting in place.

Stay tuned…

~An “Overzealous” ADA & The NYPD~

On April 7th I blogged about the “Terroristic Threatening” charge placed against one of our Federal Attorneys by JPMorgan Chase.  This is what we’ve found after the FBI looked into the matter.

Keep in mind, Jamie Dimon is the only person from JPMorgan Chase that our Attorney spoke with.

“Someone” from JPMorgan Chase filed the report with the NYPD without providing a shred of evidence of any kind.  An overzealous ADA sent over an arrest warrant without a signature from a judge. We can only speculate, but we think the ADA told the NYPD to go ahead and send the warrant to D.C. and that a judge would sign off on it later.

We’ve discovered this “overzealous” ADA has a relative who is an Executive at JPMorgan Chase. Apparently this ADA has issued the same kind of warrants 7 other times against customers who had taken legal action against JPMorgan Chase.

We don’t know what happened in the cases concerning the 7 other customers, but we will look into it. The ADA has been picked up by the FBI.

Lucky for us, we’ve got Attorneys who don’t back down from anything and make sure every legal procedure is followed correctly.

The Latest on JPMorgan Chase

The suits against JPmorgan Chase and Jamie Dimon haven’t been filed yet. There were a few things our attorney had to take care of this week. The plan is to have those suits filed sometime this upcoming week.

I decided to write an update because we had a little drama that I wanted to share.

Thursday evening one of our Federal attorneys received a phone call from Jamie Dimon.  The phone call was in reference to Jamie Dimon receiving a summons from the court in Kentucky to appear on Tuesday April 9th.  Needless to say, Jamie Dimon wasn’t very happy to receive this summons. He used some very “colorful” language with our attorney and asked,”Was this how we were going to do things?”  Little did Jamie Dimon know that our attorney had nothing to do with this summons and it had everything to do with the Judge’s order that Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan Chase refused to follow.

This morning at about 7:00 A.M. one of our attorneys had a knock on his door, it was the D.C. Police.  They had orders from the NYPD to arrest our attorney for “Terroristic Threatening”. Our attorney was locked up for about 45 minutes this morning. He wanted to know who he supposedly committed this act against. He was told it was JPMorgan Chase who filed the complaint. He was quickly able to squash this when he was allowed to explain what was going on to the Sgt. at the police station.  D.C. Police called the NYPD and wanted to know what was said that would have been “Terroristic Threatening”. The NYPD couldn’t answer the question and couldn’t provide any proof of the threatening.  The D.C. Police weren’t happy that they were used as a pawn in all of this and wanted to do something about it. They were told not to worry about it, the FBI will now be handling it.

Even though the police report had JPMorgan Chase on it, we all know who is responsible don’t we???

In my opinion JPMorgan Chase and Jamie Dimon represent what’s wrong with America. We have a company that is “Too Big to Fail” that acts like they can do anything they want and a Chairman/CEO who has more power than brains.

I don’t know about you, but I think we might’ve ruffled their feathers a little bit.

To be continued…

JPMorgan Chase

We will be filing a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase as well as Jamie Dimon personally.

Allow me to give a little back story on how we got to this point.

As I’ve mentioned in other posts, we were awarded a settlement, actually several settlements. We had never been given personal access to any of our settlement money. What I mean by personal access is, a transfer to our bank acct, a check, cash, anything along those lines. The Government Agency that’s been harassing went to extensive measures to make sure we could never physically touch our money.

We did have an investment account that was fairly protected against this Government Agencies tactics from the Summer of 2010 to December of 2011. However, all we could do with this investment account was buy stock, invest in companies, and move money to an escrow account to buy property. 

In the Fall of 2011, we found a property that we wanted to purchase.  We transferred 1.4 Million to our real estate agents escrow account. A contract was signed to purchase the property and our money was then transferred to the escrow account of the people who were selling the property. This account was with JPMorgan Chase.

The people moved out at the end of February 2012, but we weren’t going to be able to move into the home until a structure problem with the deck was fixed and that couldn’t be done until April.  In March, we received a phone call from the sellers real estate attorney. Apparently the house the sellers had just bought and moved into had black mold that was “undetected” when the inspection was done.

We felt bad for these people because they had no place to go. We opened our hearts and told the sellers they could temporarily move back into the home as long as they agreed to make sure the structure issue with the deck was fixed.  April came and went and the sellers found themselves in a legal issue with the people they bought the “black mold” house from.

During this time, we also found ourselves in a bind as well. Something happened to our investment account at the end of December of 2011 to where we could no longer use it at all. This Government Agency had finally found a very “quiet” way to “STEAL“ our money. It was still in our account, but we had absolutely ZERO access to it.

Because of the situation that both parties were in, we came to an agreement to void the contract.  The 1.4 Million was the only money we’ve been able to get out that “We thought” we’d have access to.

Bottom line is, we’ve been trying for about a year now to get our money out of the escrow account. We found out that Government Agency sent JPMorgan Chase a threatening email telling them not to release our money that it was a matter of “National Security”.

It finally went to court here in Kentucky with a decision in our favor. The order stated that JPMorgan Chase had to release our funds and laid out how the funds would be paid.  We weren’t completely happy with that decision because it didn’t give a time frame of how long JPMorgan Chase had to release the funds.  A motion was then filed giving JPMorgan Chase 30 days to follow the order.

A few days later a motion was filed by Leahey & Johnson, P.C. on behalf of JPMorgan Chase.  The motion was to move our case to Federal court in New York City, because they said the amount of money in play here was too big for a Kentucky State Judge to rule on.

The plan for JPMorgan Chase was to get this case moved to Federal court to drag out the process and to  make us hire an attorney in New York costing us more money. Little did they know we have Federal attorneys who handle most of our legal matters.

Our Federal attorneys quickly contacted the attorney on record for Leahey & Johnson. Our attorneys tried to tell this attorney on record, who was a partner, what was going on with this case. This case wasn’t a lawsuit, it was just a matter of JPMorgan Chase releasing our money from an escrow account.  Of course this attorney didn’t care and said they were doing this just because they could.  This attorney who was a partner, was then told that they couldn’t handle this case anyway, because there was a conflict of interest. We had been clients of Leahey & Johnson just a few months ago, but had fired them over breach of contract. 

This attorney wasn’t understanding how it was a conflict of interest, so Peter Johnson Jr. was then contacted. He was told about the circumstances of this case and that it wasn’t a lawsuit, that it was simply us trying to get access to our personal funds that was in a JPMorgan Chase escrow account.

Apparently JPMorgan Chase had lied to them and said this was a lawsuit and a judge had awarded us 1.4 Million. He also agreed that them handling this case was a conflict of interest, because of them representing us previously.  Within an hour of that conversation, all motions filed in the courts in Kentucky as well as Federal court in New York City were dropped.

With the 30 day deadline approaching, our Federal attorneys decided to bring Jamie Dimon(Chairman, President & CEO of JPMorgan Chase) in on this last week. He was told what was going on and “acted” like this shouldn’t even be an issue, because it was in an escrow account, it’s not the banks money.  He told our attorneys that he’d take care of it.

The deadline which was April 2nd by the end of business came and court orders weren’t followed.  The Bank manager and her boss were picked up by the FBI shortly after.  Our attorneys tried several times to get a hold of Jamie Dimon with no success.  Jamie Dimon did get in touch with our attorneys today, but was singing a different tune.

He told our attorneys he wasn’t giving our money back and it had nothing to do with the threatening email his company had received from that Government Agency a while back. He told our attorneys he didn’t like the way they talked to him and he and his attorneys would tie this up in the courts and delay paying this for so many years that we’d eventually have to give up.

Did I mention this conversation with Jamie Dimon was taped? I’m sure the judge will find it very entertaining.

Nice move Jamie Dimon, it was going to be just a lawsuit against your company. However, since YOU decided YOU weren’t giving us our money back, you’ve now brought yourself into this personally.

Lawsuits against Mr. Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan Chase should be filed by the end of the week or the first part of next week.
