court of appeals

[maggie]

I have often wondered if something was amiss with my claim. Three other people who I know all had the same attorney who provided our echoes. Each one of us was told separately that we were being opted out of the settlement because of the seriousness of our injuries, however later as the settlement dragged on we were then told by our attorney that he was moving us into the seventh which seemed strange.

We have discussed this amongst ourselves and were wondering if class counsel, the judge or the trust would look at our echoes and tell us if they might have been compromised.

Does anyone have the judge's court phone number?

Maggie,

You and your friends are right to inquire about your echoes. There was massive fraud in this settlement with the production of qualifying echoes. That fraud was then hidden by all of the partys in this settlement from you and the rest of us.

I hope more people begin to open thier eyes and ask themselves if they were a victiom of this too......Class Counsel says 85% of claims were tampered with.

I will help you with contacting the court. the Trust and Class Counsel

Thank You for the email,addresses and literature.
This is all making sense to me now. I have already received my friends echo tapes and will be copying them this weekend. By this time next week we each will be sending copies of these tapes and our lawyer correspondences to the offices you provided.

Would you mind if I called you?

""I think there has been a significant amount of fraud in this claims process," said Center City lawyer Michael Fishbein, who is counsel for class-action plaintiffs and a liaison to claimants' attorneys. He estimates that up to 85 percent of claims may be questionable."

In Philadelphia, U.S. District Judge Harvey Bartle 3d, who is presiding over the federal fen-phen litigation and the settlement, has repeatedly expressed alarm about fraud.
"There can be no doubt," Bartle said, "that an attempt was made to perpetrate a fraud upon Wyeth and the court."

SO WHEN I GET IN FRONT OF BARTLE WITH EVIDENCE FROM HIS VERY OWN COURT'S TECHNICAL ADVISER WHO STATED THAT THERE WERE INSERTS WITHIN MY ECHO BARTLE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING.DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE CLAIMANTS WITHIN HIS COURT , HE ONLY CARES ABOUT WYETH.......WELL I LIKE THE OTHER 85% OF CLAIMANTS WHO TOOK THIS POISON WERE ENTICED INTO THIS SETTLEMENT WITH FRAUDULENT ECHOES..... SUCKERED INTO THIS SETTLEMENT WITH QUALIFIERS THAT EACH OF US THOUGHT WERE LEGIT BUT IN REALITY WERE MANIPULATED.... WE EACH LOST OUR RIGHTS TO PURSUE DAMAGES AGAINST WYETH IN A COURT OF LAW BECAUSE WE ENTERED INTO THIS SETTLEMENT...WE WERE EACH LED TO BELIEVE THAT THE FABRICATED ECHO WAS TRUE AND THE NATIONAL SETTLEMENT WAS THE BEST WAY TO COMPENSATE US FOR WYETH'S POISON.....WHEN IN REALITY IT WASN'T........EACH ONE OF US HAD A FRAUD PERPETRATED ON US AND THE COURT. THE FRAUD WAS US BEING HERDED INTO THIS SETTLEMENT WITH A LIE..


YOU PEOPLE IN THE 7TH WOUND UP WITH JACK CHIT PAYMENTS FOR YOUR INJURIES. DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU WOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE LOUSY COMPENSATIONS THAT YOU DID IF YOU HAD BEEN ABLE TO SUE IN A COURT OF LAW RATHER THAN BEING STUCK IN THIS SETTLEMENT...WYETH MADE OUT LIKE A BANDIT ONLY HAVING TO PAY 10K FOR YOUR HEART DAMAGES.

I HAVE SPOKEN TO A WELL KNOWN PUBLISHED LAWYER WHO HAS WRITTEN ARTICLES CONCERNING THIS TYPE OF MASS TORT ISSUE AND HE TRULY BELIEVES THAT WE HAVE ALL INDEED HAVE BEEN SCREWED OVER. HE SAYS IN HIS NEXT WRITINGS HE WILL INCLUDE HOW CLAIMANTS RIGHTS ARE AFFECTED BY FRAUDULENT QUALIFIERS.

EACH ONE OF US SHOULD HOPE THAT THE COURT OF APPEALS WILL CORRECT THIS DISTRICT COURT'S ERROR.

So what is going on? Do any of us EVER stand a chance of getting what is due us? I too, think we've all been raked over the coals by the justice (or so called justice) system. Will this ever be corrected? Do we ever stand a chance?

[me]

hey Cook,

What is going on?

Remember Bartle expressing gripes about the fraud he was seeing in his court? Remember class counsel stating that up to 85% of echoes were manipulated? Remember the Trust spending millions of dollars on analysts and experts, lawyer depositions, and then sending everyone of our echoes to the FBI office in Philadelphia because of rampant fraud? Remember Wyeth whining that this fraud needs to be investigated? Remember the Trust shutting down audits for a few years because they were up to their neck in manipulated claims? Remember Bartle ordering a 100% across the board audit of every claim because of the fraud he was witnessing? Remember how the 7th was jammed down our throats because this settlement became mired in fraud issues?
remember how us claimants had to take pennies on the dollar for their heart damage because this fraud had corrupted this settlement?

So what happened when a claimant who received one of those fraud ed echoes brought this fraud to their attention?

Bartle ignored it completely, pretended it wasn't there. Class Counsel got paid half a billion dollars and motioned to the court that discovery into this fraud not be granted. The Trust hides the depositions of this fraud, hides evidence of this fraud, and refuses to inform claimant that the claim was fraud ed contrary to court PTO's. WYETH who got what they wanted could careless about the situation. Special Master refuses to grant discovery or take any steps to censor this fraud even even though they are presented court's evidence of this fraud.

Look at what has happened because of this fraud. Us claimants are the ones who got screwed over and yet every other party in this settlement makes out like a bandit. We lost so much.

When this settlement was implemented we all had something of value that was given to us because we decided not to take our cases to court and instead enter into this settlement.WE ALL TOOK THE WYETH POISON AND BECAUSE OF THAT EVERY ONE OF US HAD THE OPTION OF TAKING WYETH TO COURT AND SUING THEIR ASS FOR THEM FEEDING US THIS POISON.

Most of us received our qualifying echoes from law firms who told us that because of the damages that were seen in these qualifying echoes that we should jump on board with this settlement and be compensated through it instead of taking the case to court. Turns out 85% of these qualifying echoes were manipulated. We were persuaded to give up our rights to sue in court because of a lie that locked us into this settlement. DECEIVED..Enticed into this settlement by a fraud ed echo. ( and the killer part is that none of you were told you had a manipulated echo, the Trust and the court did not let you in on this..it was a secret that was kept from all of you, even though you were supposed to be told that your claim was manipulated)

Without these echoes to pull everyone into this settlement 85% of us probably would not have joined this settlement. This settlement would have gone poof!

because I refused refused the seventh and was dropped by my lawyer and no one would pick me up as a client I had to become my own lawyer. The Trust refused to tell me my echo had inserts placed in it. I had to get the news from Bartle's court appointed technical adviser that there were inserts in my echo. That is how I found out. No one else went this route and that is why none of you 85% know your claim was also fraud ed.

When Bartle refused to acknowledge the fraud it was the final straw. If he refused to do anything for us claimants who lost so much I knew our only hope was the Court of Appeals.

If the Trust would have informed the 85% of claimants in this settlement that their echoes were manipulated I would be standing strong with thousands of you demanding that this fraud be rectified. Instead there is just me

I am begging the CofA to recognize that almost everyone of us has been screwed over. That this settlement was a sham to us claimants. That the seventh was bs and hid this deception from the claimants. That we all lost the right to sue in court because we were enticed into this deal with WYETH because of a lie.

Do not think any lawyer or class counsel, or the trust, or judge Bartle, or the special master, or Wyeth is going to come to our aid. There isn't anyone who is going to take up this fight...Its over for those guys.........all hope lies with the Court of Appeals and their decision.
