I got a phone call from Mr. Cook this evening. We agreed to disagree about a number of matters including his reluctance to say if he knows anything about the PI who went after me here in Brantford and is now charged with assault.
It seems he needs to be able to say we had a frank exchange of views before he whines to Judge Weissbrodt.
I looked him up on the net before and he seems to occupy a niche in the bankruptcy biz.

"Even though the bankruptcy court found Cook had acted "cavalierly" and "nonchalantly" in violation of the stay, it did not find that Cook or Bi-Rite acted with sufficient recklessness or egregiousness to warrant punitive damages. The bankruptcy court has considerable discretion in granting or denying punitive damages under § 362(h), and we cannot say that it abused that discretion in this case."

This is an appeal where someone went after Cook, his law firm and some clients with a RICO action. The district court (properly I think) dismissed the RICO action and it was affirmed by the 9th.

The amount of money might be right for a photographer but it is chicken feed for a law firm unless they dropped 3 zeros.
Perhaps Phil could look into this. I know CIA projects are sometimes run through the Army because my Dad did it in Korea. In fact, he arranged for a hundred CIA agents to just vanish.

There is a legal article in a rather unusual style here.
I am a bit busy to follow up on this, but if someone wants to look into the rest of the links I would appreciate it.
