What happened to CorpGovActivist?

[Mind_your_head]

The last thread I can find that he started was December 1st and it looks like his last journal entry was in mid-November (however, I'm not really good at using the "search function", so maybe I'm wrong about how long it's been since he's posted here).

Does anyone know how he's doing?

[WHAT]

1. Don't know...

but I wondered, too.

[Mind_your_head]

2. I'll kick this back up tomorrow

I wonder if we should be worried about him or not? :scared:

Hopefully we'll hear something about him (or from him).

[Suich]

3. Good question.

I have no idea.

:hi:

[Mind_your_head]

4. "Hi" back to you!

Thanks for giving this a kick!

14. I tried surfing the net about the trial

but could never find any info.

I've wondered about the outcome of the trial.

I've been very concerned if he is well. Also, Ides of October seems to be missing. I hope we hear from them.

10. K & R, CGA was posting some really important information.

:kick: MKJ

[lildreamer316]

11. I was wondering the same thing.

kick to see if we can find out........

[conscious evolution]

12. I am hoping he is to busy

but i would like to hear from him too.
One possibility is that he got slapped with a gag order concerning his trial with State Street,thought that is just supposition.
I'm betting on to busy preparing for hearings starting Jan 5.

[midnight]

13. I was wonderging too.

Would love to hear from him. He always has such revealing things to say.

[Tuesday_Morning]

15. I haven't seen or

heard anything since the trial. Dec 6, I think.

Where are you guys???

Hope they're just terribly busy hanging out with Henry Waxman.

[conscious evolution]

16. I hope so

IdesofOctober also seems to be missing in action.One thing I gathered from his posts is that he may be a lawyer.I wonder if he is one of those Lawyer/investigators being hired by the new Congressional leadership.

[blm]

25. Then that would explain why because he was likely told to clam up for a while

.

[joeunderdog]

49. Usually, witnesses are told not to make public statements prior to

OR during a trial. All postings and other communications are admissable. If the defense could show some sort of secondary gain sought by a witness, it could compromise his testimony. Not only that, but written communication by a prosecution witness would essentially help the defense prepare for his testimony.

Frankly, I wasn't sure why he went public on DU and his website before a verdict. Maybe he thought he was safer if he stayed in public view. Dangerous game no matter how you look at it. Is the trial he was involved in still ongoing?

[Mind_your_head]

17. I went over to look at his two websites

www.halwhistleblowers.org <------- Last Update: November 20, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. ET

and

www.bushbunglesbrigade.org <------- Last Updated: October 15, 2006 at 5:00 p.m. ET

I see someone at DU was asking about him last week too and didn't get any satisfactory response:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2938471

I couldn't find anything new about him searching google.

I hope he's okay.

[Straight Shooter]

18. I noticed he was MIA from DU, too.

:(

[Laurab]

19. I wondered too

I'm going to pm them (Ides, too) and see if anyone answers).

[conscious evolution]

20. Try one to ButternutMctoots also.

She seemed to know what they were up to.

[Lugnut]

21. It's been a while

I've been keeping an eye out for new posts too. I hope everything is okay with David.

[NancyG]

22. k and r nt

[rosesaylavee]

23. Kick.

Was wondering the same.

[jannyk]

24. K&R David - please check-in nt

[bleever]

26. David, please check in.

Hope all is well with you.

[conscious evolution]

27. I found a phone #

Should I call?

[Mind_your_head]

29. Yes, I think so

If he can't say much right now that's understandable. But there are a lot of people who would just like to know that he's okay and out in the internet 'ether' somewhere.

[Mind_your_head]

30. I guess no one else besides me (and maybe you)

think this would be a good idea to try calling? :shrug:

Any other opinions out there?

[conscious evolution]

31. Damn!

No longer in service!
That makes me think WTF!!

[joeunderdog]

37. How about calling his local Rep or Congressman --are they Dem's?

He's from Alexandria Virginia, according to a PDR letter he sent that was published on the web.

Any DU'er live near Stevenson Ave?

[ancient_nomad]

39. Thanks for trying to call....

this concerns me. He didn't seem the type to just disappear. I hope he is safe and well.

Let's hope someone can get in touch with him.

[Sydnie]

33. Have you tried the number listed on this site?

http://shop.bushbunglesbrigade.org/

It appears to be the defense fund site for GCP.

[conscious evolution]

34. yes thats the one

It is also listed as contact on a SEC filing they made up concerning State Street.

David did say things would heat up in January and perhaps he's been asked to stay mum until then.

50. Does anyone know who some of his trusted media people were?

You know, he was SERIOUSLY in their faces, and there are no doubt thousands of KBR folks who'd just love to do a little freelancing. Hell, remember Cliff Baxter and Enron was supposed to be a more upscale, gentlemanly organization than something like KBR is. Wasn't he in touch with Waxman or Conyers? Or someone? This isn't good.

[BlueStorm]

51. What was CGA doing?

I do hope that he is ok.

Blue

[conscious evolution]

53. He is a Haliburton whistleblower

He also is a corporate watchdog who has been working on exposing corporate and financial malfeasance.
Read his and IdesofOctober journals here on DU.They present a case that can bring down bushco.

[BlueStorm]

54. Oh wow... I can see why everyone is concerned about him...

It could be possible that he is very busy right now that he can't post here on DU. But hopefully he will show up again when things slow down a bit.

He's probably busier as usual and will be much more busy when the new Congress gets sworn in.


He'll be on CSPAN.

Blue

[Morgana LaFey]

68. He took time to post at DU a LOT --

so unless he got soured to that somehow, I don't buy your speculation as very valid.

[buddysmellgood]

52. good point

[Tuesday_Morning]

56. anybody have access to Edgar Online?

I found this:

http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/PeopleFilingResults.aspx?PersonID=3716798

A filing made by his partner (I think) Patrick concerning the State Street Bank on 12/19/06

[Mind_your_head]

57. Great find! I guess that means that he's "out - and - about"

and working in higher realms than here on DU, GO CorpGovActivist!!!!

Hope that he knows that there's alot of "grassroots" here behind him /that care about/appreciate what he's doing. :grouphug:

[Tuesday_Morning]

58. I see the doc now

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1268911/000126891106000035/0001268911-06-000035.txt

It says Patrick will be asking to postpone the special shareholders meeting (dec. 1) to Feb. 17, 2007. Not sure that means they're out and about.

[Mind_your_head]

60. Well, I saw that it was filed 12/19/06

Which was 8 days ago. That's the part that I thought was "hopeful", but on further thought maybe postponement isn't a good sign. I dunno enough about these types of things to know how to "read" that action.

[G_Leo_Criley]

62. Schedule 14A-12

http://sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/93751/000126891106000035/meetingdatechange.htm

Patrick is amending his demand for a special stockholders meeting and asking that it be held on Feb. 16, 2007., prior to the annual meeting in April.

He also informs all shareholders that he is soliciting their proxy or consent to vote on their behalf at the February special meeting. (Not sure that I have these terms exactly correct -- This is not my field at all.)

Patrick advises all State Street shareholders that he will publish (before the Feb. 16 meeting) a proxy or consent statement publicly which will be available online at sec.gov. (I think that is where he will enumerate his reasons for requesting their proxy or consent.)

At least I think that's what it says.

My understanding of proxy/consent is that since most people don't go to an annual or special meeting, they are asked, usually by a director or management, to turn over their voting rights to a representative who will vote their shares for them.

67. Wow

a bunch of DU'ers are concerned about someones whereabouts and all you can do is insult the missing DU'er. Choice post OMC. very choice. Here's a word to look up: Empathy.

[Morgana LaFey]

69. Yeah, even sociopaths like Bush know when it's appropriate to

feign care and concern.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

70. Didn't Know There Was Reason For Concern. Thought It Was Just A "Hey? Anyone Know What He's Up To?"

Course, now that I know there was genuine concern for his safety, I can understand your distaste with my remark.

I do, however, even after now having been made aware, think there is zero reason to be concerned for him. I'm sure he's perfectly fine, as is his twin IdesOfSomethinOrOther.

77. Has he posted since his court date?

I remember he posted about his court date in Boston, asking for prayers and thoughts, but I couldn't find the post. I don't know if it was before or after the Dec. post.

[G_Leo_Criley]

78. No, he hasn't checked in.

Dave hasn't posted since he had his Boston court date. I think that was on Dec. 8th.

Hope that all is ok.
