Default Letter "Answer" filed by Proskauer Rose representing the USCF

I find it interesting the PR is representing both the USCF and Mr. Truong.
While Mr. Truong is a board member who would normally be represented by the
USCF's insurance carrier, in this instance the allegations of wrongdoing go
beyond the scope of his duties as a board member creating potential
liability for the USCF. I'm not at all certain PR can represent both of them
in this litigation. I would think this issue will be raised at some point in
the proceedings.


Judge Brian and Sam,

I just left MR. Brown a voice message, the attorney for both the USCF
and Paul Troung. I am preparing an ethical complaint if he continues
to represent Mr. Troung and the USCF. I will not allow this attorney
to continue to allow
Mr. Troung to contine making these death threats and represent the
USCF, while the USCF
has a claim against MR. Troung. This position is unethical, and I will
complain to the judge.

Thank you for pointing this out, Sam Sloan,

Marcus Roberts

I ask that the readers of this forum not bother or in any way harass
the attorney who is representing the USCF in this suit.

He is not our enemy and he could be our best friend.

Somebody needs to start telling the members of the Executive Board of
the USCF that they need to start obeying the law for a change. Perhaps
the attorney will do this. A little appreciated fact is that the USCF
does not have an attorney that they consult with on a regular basis.
When I was on the board, at every meeting I brought up the fact that
many of the things the board is doing are of questionable legality and
we need the advice of counsel. Every time, the board said that it did
not want to spend the money. In particular, I asked that counsel be
retained to determine our legal rights regarding the Crossville
Property. At one point, Joel Channing as VP of Finance said that he
would agree that the office seek the advice of counsel with a spending
limit of $500. (Five Hundred Dollars). However, a few minutes later
Mr. Channing changed his mind and decided that $500 was too much to
spend.

The lawyer now representing the USCF in Sloan vs. Truong is apparently
being paid by the insurance company with a $10,000 deductible. I am
hoping that once he finds out how unimaginably bad things really are
at the USCF, he will tell them to straighten out. Otherwise the USCF
and its members, meaning us, are ultimately responsible.

Sam Sloan
