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.
