Excellent! Suddenly I am motivated to pay attention to the
substance of your posts, now that you aren't harassing
the computer chess newsgroups.

cd-roms will be of interest to someone someday. But certainly not in
the way Mr. Sloan thinks.

I see no reason not to turn it over to a USCF lawyer, broken or not.

Thank you. Mr. Frank Niro faces jail time for the theft of that
laptop. It will certainly be much easier for him if he simply returns
it. He can of course copy the pictures of his children off of that
laptop. He did not have to take the laptop to do that.

On the morning of August 20, 2003, Mike Nolan learned that lighting
had hit his home in Omaha, Nebraska and he had to resign his position
with the USCF and return there on an emergency basis. As he was
leaving the USCF offices in New Windsor New York, he saw Paul Truong
and Frank Niro entering the offices. He had checked to make sure that
the laptop was sitting on the Executive Director's desk just before he
left.

A few minutes later, the newly elected USCF officials, Beatriz
Marinello, the new president, and Tim Hanke, the new VP of Finance,
arrived. The first thing they did was go to look at that laptop to see
what information it contained, only to discover that the laptop was
missing. By that time, Paul Truong and Susan Polgar had left the
building.

Marinello and Hanke quickly found out that the USCF was hundreds of
thousands of dollars overdrawn at the bank and deeply in debt, whereas
Frank Niro had been telling them that the USCF was in good financial
condition and operating at a big surplus. The USCF was virtually
bankrupt. Marinello and Hanke had no choice but to fire 17 employees,
which they did that same day.

Naturally, there were many people who could have taken the missing
laptop. Certainly the 17 terminated employees were likely suspects.
Nobody really thought about the possibility that Susan Polgar and Paul
Truong might have taken it, especially since they had only been in the
office for a few minutes and only Mike Nolan had seen them there.

Four years later, in 2007, on his website at chesssafari.com, Frank
Niro "thanked" Susan Polgar and Paul Truong for bringing him the
laptop, which he needed to write his memoirs. That was the first hint
or clue that Polgar and Truong had taken the laptop.

There is absolutely no doubt, none whatever, that the laptop belongs
to the USCF and the data and information on that laptop belongs to the
USCF too. There is also the question of the missing $2 million in USCF
funds. Information at to what happened to that money should be on that
laptop. Frank Niro is facing time serious time in jail if he does not
return the laptop.

Sorry. This is a serious typo. Nolan saw Paul Truong and Susan Polgar
enter the offices. Frank Niro had left the USCF offices during the
first week of August 2003 supposedly on his way to the USCF Delegates
meeting in Los Angeles. The last thing he did was write himself a
check for $3,000 for his supposed travel expenses. Frank Niro never
made it to Los Angeles. Instead, he disappeared and is just emerging
now.

The General Ledges shows:

Check number 48907 for $1150.00 paid to Frank Niro on August 7, 2003
Check number 60170 for $2618.85 paid to Frank Niro on August 1, 2003

I would like to know what those checks were for, since Frank Niro's
regular salary was being paid out of another account.

(Let us not forget Check number 60168 paid to John Hillary for
$1500 !!!)

But you did, and so I onvce again have no interest in whether you
have a case or are blowing smoke. Clearly, you put being an asshole

verifying yur claims.

I deleted the rest of your post and you followup poists unread.

Do you have the capability of deleting posts from
