"As this situation progressed, more wrong doing took place which
directly / indirectly pointed at specific individuals. The board
majority refused to investigate the leads we provided. There were more
specific leaks and misconducts. Sloan answered the motion to dismiss
with some confidential information which we provided to the board
majority and their attorney. Only the board majority and their attorney
have this confidential info. So how did Sloan get it?"

Best regards,
PT

I am interested in learning more about this specific allegation The
fact is that I have received no information from the board,
confidential or otherwise, since I left the board in August 2007. I
have not even spoken to any member of the board or exchanged emails
with any member of the board since that time.

However, I do speak to almost everybody else in chess, as I did all
last weekend when I spent three days attending the US Amateur Team
East Chess Championship in Parsippany New Jersey.

None of the information I provided in my two affidavits to the court
was "confidential". Almost all of it was known to any regular reader
of this forum. Here are the only paragraphs from my affidavit to which
Paul Truong could possibly be referring:


35. Gregory Alexander is not "from the USCF". He is a close associate
of Polgar and Truong. He is also the webmaster of their website. The
"plane tickets" defense we already know about. It is one of the
standard defenses Truong uses. Another is the "somebody is following
me" defense. The "plane tickets" defense was used in the "Voice of
Reason" case where Mig Greengard who had previously been one of their
strongest supporters realized that his Daily Dirt website was being
bombarded with postings by all sorts of different people all saying
the same thing and all posting from the same IP address. This is one
of Paul Truong's modus operandi. Truong creates dozens of fake
personalities and posts under their names. When Mig Greengard realized
that all these different identities were the same person, Truong and
Polgar claimed that it could not have been them since they were
traveling at the time and were on an airplane in mid-flight. This is
probably the sort of "rock solid" evidence they claim to have recently
provided to the board proving that it was not them. An Internet gadfly
has posted what he calls "The List of the Blind Monkey" listing so far
41 ridiculous defenses presented by Truong allies which supposedly
prove that they could not possibly be responsible for the 2,464
postings by the Fake Sam Sloan. The "somebody is following me" defense
we know about too. It was also used by Paul Truong when in 2003 it was
proven through IP addresses that he was the same person as "Bob
Bennett".

36. In the last month or so, new fake posters have appeared. Their
postings are "remailed automatically by anonymizing remailer
software". They sometimes sign as "Sam Sloan" but usually do not give
a name at all. Top suspects are Gregory Alexander and Paul Truong but
it could be anybody. These anonymous fakes are posting every day
lately, so please take a look.

37. Another issue in this case concerns the sale of the USCF building
in New Windsor. In November, 2004, the USCF owned a fully paid for
office building in New Windsor, New York. Bill Goichberg took it upon
himself to sell it. He never consulted the board. There was no debate
nor vote on this issue. At least two board members, Frank Brady and
Don Schultz, were adamantly opposed to this sale and would have voted
against had it come up for a vote. Unfortunately, Bill Goichberg who
was Executive Director at the time, seems to treat the USCF as if he
owns it and makes decisions without consulting the delegates or the
board. The complete USCF minutes for every meeting for that period are
available online. One can check the minutes and see that nowhere in
the minutes does it show that the board ever debated, voted on and
passed a resolution to sell the building. In short, the sale of the
building was illegal, without corporate authority.

38. It is important to note that New Windsor is in Orange County which
is in the Southern District of New York. Since most of the bad acts
that are the subject of this lawsuit took place in New Windsor, this
establishes the jurisdiction and venue of this court.

39. Finally, the USCF election itself was rife with fraud. Three times
during the election campaign period I was suspended from posting for
ten days each. Goichberg and Co. appointed the most hostile moderators
they could find to moderate my postings and the postings of anybody
who supported me including as moderators Gregory Alexander, Herbert
Rodney Vaughn and Louis Blair. Not only was I suspended from posting
but anybody who supported me was suspended from posting as well.
Anybody who asked an embarrassing question of Polgar and Truong had
their postings pulled and was suspended from posting. Questions asking
Polgar and Truong whether they were married to each other or not were
not allowed. Questions were not allowed asking about the eleven
national chess championships Truong falsely claims to have won or
about the fake PhD degree Truong claimed to have had or about the
billion dollar corporations Truong claims to have rescued and saved.
More than one thousand postings were pulled by the pro-Truong and pro-
Polgar moderators. Dozens of individual USCF members were suspended
from posting. I protested vehemently at the appointments by Goichberg
of these anti-Sloan and pro-Polgarite moderators. Goichberg supported
Polgar and Truong for election until just before the ballots were
mailed out. Sometimes, Goichberg would appoint a moderator who failed
to understand that his mandate was to stop me and my supporters from
posting. Although vehemently hostile to me at the time they were
appointed, a few of the moderators suddenly saw the light and reversed
course. Examples of this are Ron Suarez and Steve Owens ("Steve of
Tennessee"). When Goichberg and Channing realized that these
moderators were not carrying out their mandate to muzzle me, they
would contact these moderators, telling them to crack down on me and
my supporters. At least two moderators resigned, protesting
interference by the board, and one of the moderators committed
suicide.

40. At a hearing, I will demonstrate and prove that Bill Goichberg and
Joel Channing knew all along that Paul Truong was the "Fake Sam
Sloan". They took no steps to stop him from doing this because it
served their purposes to have someone impersonating me. Because of
these and numerous other irregularities, I will be asking this court
to declare the election null and void and to schedule a new election.
I will also request that this court enjoin Polgar, Truong, Goichberg
and Channing from running for office again or from ever holding office
in the United States Chess Federation again, due to their numerous bad
acts committed by these four defendants.

41. I am attaching as exhibits the three forensic reports that prove
that Paul Truong did it. These are The Mottershead Report, the Jones
Report and the Ulevitch Report. These reports are supported by more
than one thousand pages of data that are available online.

42. In addition, I am attaching two orders of protection of the Queens
Family Court prohibiting Susan Polgar and Paul Truong from abusing
their children (by forcing them to play chess) plus several newspaper
articles about this case. These have been three articles in the print
edition of the New York Times about this case, plus seven additional
articles in the online version of the New York Times, plus articles in
the Boston Globe for December 24, 2007, the New York Post, the Lubbock
Texas Avalanche Journal, the Daily Toreador campus newspaper of Texas
Tech University, plus articles in "The Independent" newspaper in
England. There are at least twenty online blogs and websites devoted
to this case and there have been at least one thousand Internet
postings about this case. (If this court or any of the attorneys have
received any "nutty" or "screwball" letters about this case, I hope
that the court recognizes that I have nothing to do with them. There
are some seriously disturbed people out there who also happen to play
chess.)

43. Also, be prepared to hear the "I am a victim" defense. If you look
at Susan Polgar's blogs and websites you would believe that there is
this massive conspiracy against her involving now the majority of the
Executive Board of the United States Chess Federation (who finally
stripped her of her fake titles on Saturday, February 2, 2008 (two
days ago)). She has recently accused the USCF Executive Majority of
"threatening" her children. According to her, the USCF Board now joins
a vast conspiracy. Co-conspirators include the World Chess Federation
("FIDE"), newspaper reporters in the New York Times and other
publications, the Hungarian Chess Federation and others. This probably
explains why Polgar and Truong switched attorneys two weeks ago. She
has been playing the "Everybody is Against me Because I am a Poor
Jewish Girl" role for the past 25 years. If you look at her
performance on the BBC Broadcast "My Brilliant Brain - Make Me a
Genius", now available on YouTube, you would never imagine that she
never went to school and never learned the basic skills of reading,
writing and arithmetic. Her two children complain that she cannot help
with them with their homework in the second grade because she never
learned that stuff. The only thing she can do is play chess (very
well). She communicates with the outside world by emails and Internet
postings that are undoubtedly written by Paul Truong and others, that
she will no doubt disavow when the time comes. She already claims that
she did not write her book "Queen of the King's Game" which attacks
numerous of her past sponsors and benefactors.

WHEREFORE, the motions to dismiss this case must be denied.

If the "confidential information" to which Mr. Truong is referring is
the "somebody is following me" defense or the "I was on an airplane
and therefore it could not have been me" defense, I know about these
defenses because Truong and Polgar have used them before. The
"somebody is following me" defense was used in the Bob Bennett case
when It was proven that "Bob Bennett" always posted from the same
computer as Paul Truong, even as Truong traveled from Rego Park Queens
to the US Open in Los Angeles.

"I was on an airplane and therefore it could not have been me" defense
was used by Truong and Polgar in the "Voice of Reason" case where Mig
Greengard concluded that the numerous posts by "Voice of Reason" to
the Daily Dirt website were all by Truong.

If it is the "Everybody is against me because I am Jewish" defense,
Polgar has been using that defense for the past 25 years, so it will
not be a surprise that she had trotted out that one again.

What other "confidential information" could possibly have been leaked
from the board to me?
