Re: False and Defamatory Statements Concerning Kevin Padrick and
Obsidian Finance Group, LLC

Dear Ms. Cox:

As you know, I represent Kevin Padrick ("Padrick"), the trustee of the Summit Accommodators Liquidating Trust and the Chapter 11 trustee of the bankruptcy estate of Summit Accommodators, Inc. I also represent Obsidian Finance Group, LLC ("Obsidian"). Mr. Padrick is a Senior Principal of Obsidian.

You have made and continue to make numerous false and defamatory statements regarding Mr. Padrick and Obsidian on several websites you maintain, including www.obsidianfinancesucks.com .

The false and defamatory statements include at least the following:

. Padrick has committed fraud against the government.

Padrick "stole [money] from the US Government."

Padrick has engaged in "illegal" and "fraudulent" activity.

• Padrick is "corrupt" and has engaged in "Corruption, Fraud, Tax Crimes,

Solar Tax Credit Crimes."

• Padrick is a liar.

• Padrick pays off the media and politicians.

• "Did Oregon Attorney Kevin Padrick hire a hitman to kill me?"

• Padrick has committed tax fraud.

• Padrick is "guilty of Fraud, Deceit on the Government, Illegal Activity,Money Laundering, Defamation, Harassment"

"Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance LLC is a Criminal, he has broken many laws in the last 2 years to do with the Summit 1031 case and regardless of the guilt of the Summit 1031 principals, Kevin Padrick is a THUG and a Thief hiding behind the Skirt tails of a corrupt un-monitored bankruptcy court system and protected by Corrupt Bend DA and Corrupt Bend Oregon Judges.

And I will Expose every detail of every law he broke, every secret hand shake and back alley deal.. every solar credit fraud.. every sale to a friend or cronie of real estate consumer money and every indiscretion[.]"

All of the statements listed above are baseless. Padrick and Obsidian demand that you remove them from your websites immediately and that you stop making any further false and defamatory statements about them.

David S. Aman"

Here is the 2.5 Million Dollar Post. I posted it in response to the Cease and Desist.

Yes it is still up, I was never asked to take it down. I believe it to be True to the best of the Information I have. One Oregon CPA's "Opinion" without documented facts regarding the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy Proceedings, is NOT Fact, it is Opinion. The Subject Post that got me a fraudulent 2.5 Million Dollar Judgement was on others sites before it was on Bankruptcy Corruption .com, here is the same EXACT post on the Obsidian Sucks Blog.
http://obsidianfinancesucks.blogspot.com/2010/12/why-investigative-blogger-crystal-l-cox_24.html

Folks, there were Conflicts of Interest, Bankruptcy Code Violations, and Millions of Dollars with no accountability in the Summit Bankruptcy. Dig deep into years of contracts, lawsuits, emails, documents, audios, videos and more if interested and if not then don't simply blame the messenger and call it good. I am NOW and always have been TELLING THE TRUTH about these guys.

So Next, after the Cease and Desist, and after my response posts, I got wind that they had filed the lawsuit, though I had not been served. So on Jan. 19th, 2011 at 2:23 PM MST. I responded to the Cease and Desist Email with a letter, email that stated that I don't think Kevin acted with the Highest of Integrity but at this point in my life it is time to think of me.

Another words, I did not want to go through a lawsuit as I felt that the Summit Principals had already been charged and needed to do what was best for me, though I fully felt and still do, that Obsidian Finance Group, Kevin Padrick and Tonkon Torp Law Firm have done the "things" I allege they have done.

Here is the Email that David Aman, Made Public

"From: Crystal L. Cox [mailto:savvybroker@yahoo.com]

Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 2:23 PM
To: David Aman
Subject: From Crystal L. Cox

Hello David, I hope this eMail finds you doing well. All said and done, looks like Summit boys going to Jail.. and Well I don't think that Kevin acted with the Highest of Integrity.. however at this Point in my Life it is Time to Think of Me.

So I want to Let you know and Obsidian Finance that I am now offering PR Services and Search Engine Management Services starting at $2500 a month to promote Law Firms... Finance Companies.. and to protect online reputations and promote businesses..

Please Let me know if Tonkon Torp or Obsidian Finance is interested in this service..

thanks for your time.. "

This was ONE email in a Series of Negotiating Emails with David S. Aman, Tonkon Torp Law Firm.

I offered services as this had been over 3 years, and that was what would work for me. This monthly fee is totally acceptable and far cheaper then their proposal of me paying them $5000 every time I mention any of their names.

David Aman, on behalf of the Plaintiff made several offers to me to end the lawsuit. Most would have me committing a crime, by lying and blaming others falsely because David Aman did not like them, and this would get me out of a 10 Million Dollar Lawsuit. I took the high road and said NO.

The Summit Principals as far as I knew at that time, were going to jail and the case was over, so why spend years in a lawsuit. So I offered what would work for me to STOP a Lawsuit. David Aman made it look like extortion, a crime and defamed me in Big Media. I have proof that David Aman was the one that sent the email to the "Media".

David S. Aman, Tonkon Torp Attorney replied on January 21, 2011, 12:20 PM, he asked what I was Proposing, what benefit it was to them, and more.

On Monday, January 24th, 10 days after Obsidian V. Cox was Filed in a Federal Court in Portland Oregon, I emailed what I was "proposing" and that in no way was I offering to Remove anything at all.

These emails can be subpoenaed in original format. Why did the New York Times, Forbes, and a Federal Judge Simply believe ONE Attorney, and one whose law firms will lose Millions if the Summit Creditors found out of the Connection with Pamela Griffith DOJ Trustee, and Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp. They all made millions and even created more debt than Summit went bankruptcy for. And for some reason they are all above the law and its legal for them to ruin me, threaten me, set me up, simply for EXPOSING Them, and posting the story of those involved, that was not me making anything up and was NEVER my Story. I was reporting the story and continue to do so.

Knowing Full well that the email was one of several in a Negotiation between attorneys, David Aman, of Tonkon Torp Law Firm proceeded to make me look like a Criminal, Guilty of Extortion, though I had no been on trial for extortion, nor had a complaint even been filed, nor had I offered to remove anything for money. This false information led to many detrimental events and negative affects on me, Pro Se Defendant Crystal Cox.

David Aman is a THUG, a Liar, a Bully, and he breaks Rules of Procedure, Lies about cooperation and commits Fraud on the Courts in Flat Out Lies about Defendants, such as me. David Aman violated the Oregon Constitution, the U.S. Constitution, and violated my Rights. David Aman set me up, participated in a Hate Crime against me, painted me in False Light in Big Media, lied to a federal charge regarding a crime I was not on trial for and David Aman has committed serious Ethics Violations and Fraud on the Courts.
