Bean Spill two: Show me the money

[Andy_Stephenson]

Please understand I do not want to break confidences at this time so I will not release the names of some of the persons who gave me information. I must honor their wishes. Please understand

Now don't get me wrong...I am not accusing Bev of any wrong doing...but you decide.

When Bev and I discussed my position with black box voting it was agreed that I was to do the accounting for the organization. I was tasked with going to the mail box and depositing checks into the bank. Entering expenditures and receipts, doing book orders sending them out and recording the information. It was in Late September or early October that I learned that I had a "crack cocaine addiction" WOW this was news to me. Too bad it is not having the same effect on me that it has on others. I am over weight and I can sleep anytime anywhere and want to most of the time...so either I am getting some bad shit or I am not doing the aforementioned drug.

I would like to address Bev's recent accounting of the funds. She stated that receipts from Randi Rhodes show totaled $23,800 I can say without a doubt that that was a bald faced, bold assed effing lie and I have the documents to prove it. I do hope she will come clean and give a better accounting confession is good for the soul. Anyhow I digress...It has been suggested that Bev is a con-woman a fraud. She may be...I can't say for sure because the "bookkeeping" duties were taken from me about the time the organization started bringing in significant amounts of money. I will say, I asked Bev on more than one occasion (prior to having the duties taken away) for the receipts for expenditures the organization had made but was never given them. Now if this was forgetfulness I can't say, fraud...I can't say either. But then I don't know because Bev took it away. She did however tell a person of some importance that I was stealing money from the organization...said that "Andy is having donors write him checks and then he is depositing them into his personal account" (btw this person is going to testify for me). That is patently false something I hope she can prove of happening.

Let me tell you a story from back in the summer...Early July to be exact. Bev and I were getting ready to go on the road trip...The organization was finally set up...Bev was running errands and stopped by the mail box...to check the mail and to see if there were any donations there were. I can tell you for a fact not all of them made it to the organizations bank account. I don't know the exact amount...but is was at least several hundred dollars.

Lets go back a bit further and talk about QuiTam. I had no clue Bev was filing the QuiTam when she did. I was made aware of it in late Feb/early Mar of 2004 on our trip to California. Now Bev had always promised that if she did file QuiTam Tam she would include me for the information I had brought her regarding Jeff Dean and John Elder. But let me assure you...I have NEVER been in this for any kind of payout. I was doing a job for my country and I never expected a kings ransom from it. But apparently the point was moot as nothing I brought Bev was used in the Qui Tam and so I could not technically be a plantiff...or so I thought. Today I found out the information was used and was a part of the QuiTam...once again I Bev lied.

Now another interesting fact about the QuiTam. Bev had a source call her...Said they had information to give her. Shortly thereafter Bev began receiving packages. In these packages was the legal strategies Diebold was going to use in front of the VSPP. There was also a cursory mention of the QuiTam. The person who provided these documents has been and will be called whitehat. What this person did was very courageous. A few months ago I asked if we were going to help them. Her response was..."They Knew what they were doing" A response I find callous and horrible considering that Bev has now profited handsomely from their sacrifice. But that is what Bev does she uses people over and over again I have seen her do this. I am only sorry I found out too late.

I never thought I would come to this point and I am sorry I am here now...but in light of new information brought to me today the time has come for me to set the record straight. I will no longer be a victim of this woman. I am sincerely sorry and wish here and now to publicly apologize to David Allen, Eloriel, Roxane Jekot and the many others I hurt with my silence. I never meant any of you harm and I am ashamed I did not speak up sooner. I suppose I was in fear of Bev...Diebold...losing what I had who knows. But each of you are fine upstanding people. You are not the traitors that Bev has made and continues to make out of each of you. Quite the contrary...you are all patriots of the highest order and deserve praise for all that you have done for the cause.
