That's pretty funny coming from someone who, ah, misappropriated the

either.)

What I asked for from Donna Alarie was evidence that someone was
actually being shorted -- now, not at some time in the past. If she
provides it, I'll change my opinion. I haven't seen any yet.

Is that what happened John? Spoken like a true insider.
How absurd. What a liar you are.

A short retort on the CalChess charges.
CalChess, where I was the unaminously elected treasurer, had collected
about $25,000 from the kids for subscriptions to CalChess Journal.
The then President of Calchess and certain politicos did not like
Frisco Del Rosario, the editor of CalChess Journal, and fired him
replacing him with one of her do-nothing friends who produced two bad
issues in 18 months instead of the 9 that were due. The children's
money was being stolen.
I went to the Kern County district attorney, explained the theft, and
with his permission moved the money to a trust account where there
were three signatories and I was not one of them.
So much for misappropriation.

In a similar rip off, it is worth recalling that USChess stole
subscription funds from tens of thousands of kids when it ended
Schoolmates. They stopped publishing the magazines and kept the money
because USChess was having cash flow problems.

Now back to the problems with the USChess profit sharing plan.
There have been problems with it since Al Lawrence's secretary left
USChess and the Schultz politicos were playing games with her life.
It wasn't a secret. It was even an item in the delegate's packet in
Reno back in 1999.

Using John Hillery's standard, no one is allowed to raise the
questions.
Donna Alarie raises legitimate issues of legality and process.

Regarding Hillery, the word coverup comes to mind.
John Hillery should shut up and crawl back in his hole.

However, you have not responded to the main charge, which is you "then
traded it back for a lucrative scholastic tournament".

I know that you eventually gave the CalChess treasury back (but only
after a lawsuit was filed against you) but I have never previously
heard that that was part of a deal to give you a lucrative scholastic
tournament.

Is that true? Did you organize or direct any big CalChess tournaments
at that time?

Sam Sloan-

Your facts are almost correct.
A lawsuit was filed and then promptly dropped by the politicos in
CalChess who were trying to get the CalChess Scholastics for
themselves after I had (many months earlier) won the competitive
bidding. I was under no legal pressure to make a deal and I publicly
wrote the children's subscription money was not mine nor did I ever
claim any of it.
Changing the border of the northern California and southern California
state affiliates was just an extreme attempt to wrest the CalChess
Scholastics for themselves and to cover up the diversion of CalChess
funds into a secret bank account which was never disclosed to the
CalChess membership.

Sheesh
