is available in the comments section at the 'BANK OF AMERICA' page of this site. There are many poems available there. Anyone can go to 'Bing', and then type this in, exactly as it appears here- BROCK O'BOMB-A POEM, and the power of 'Bing' should take you to that poem and others.

The only way that I see to protect our rights, and to make sure it does not happen to others, is to get to know each other (all former HSA holders burned by Canopy) and to go after the company as a group. I am also thinking of going after banks where the money was kept. After all, it is hard to "misappropriate" funds from a bank without a gun or a conspiracy, isn't it? The crime committed by Canopy in stealing the HSA funds is worse than wasting the VC investments. VCs are ready to lose their money; it is their job to allocate it according to risk. But theft of HSAs is a crime of moral turpitude, aimed at those who can afford it the least. Letting the media know about this crime is newsworthy, and may create the buzz that we, Canopy victims, need to get our savings back. But one person's voice is thin; if we stand together, it will roar.

All good info here on this. What amazes me is that there has been roughly ZERO media coverage on this debacle. The ABC affiliate in Chicago did a piece on the Chapter 11 filing in late November, but I can find little else. Is that because the company is based in Chicago (thanks, Mr. President) and has offices in San Francisco (thanks, Ms. Speaker)? Maybe that's where the money went. Anyway, I agree that HSA accounts should not be dischargeable in a bankruptcy reorganization - thanks for the code citation. My wife and I each have a Wellfund HSA account with a combined total in low 5-figures, and have sent proof of claim forms back to the Bankruptcy Court in Chicago. How do we go about arguing that these accounts should not be discharged in the Chapter 11 proceeding and that they should be insured by the FDIC (or what's left of it...)? And has anyone heard from the SEC or the FBI about the extent of the damage in terms of dollars?
