RIPOFF REPORT VIP ARBITRATION
SUMMARY OF ARBITRATOR’S DECISION
Erin Michael McCormick Complainant
v.
Anonymous, Author of Report #741717,
________________________________________________________________________
Complainant Erin Michael McCormick (the “Complainant”) has challenged the truthfulness of certain specific statements (each, a “Statement”) posted by Author Anonymous (the “Author”) on the Ripoff Report website at www.ripoffreport.com as Ripoff Report #741717 (the “Report”). The Author accused the Complainant of improperly taking clients funds from a law firm trust account. The Complainant denied all such allegations that he previously had a dispute with the person he believes submitted the Report, and that the Report is in Retaliation for the Complaint’s complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and in retaliation for a report submitted by the Complainant on the Ripoff Report website about the person believed to be the Author. The Author did not submit a response to the Complainant or any contact information. Therefore, in accordance with the Ripoff Report VIP Arbitration Rules (the “Rules), the Author waived their right to participate in this Arbitration. By submitting a Report and a Complaint on the Ripoff Report websites, both the Complainant and the Author have agreed to submit the dispute to the Ripoff Report VIP Arbitration Program.
In accordance with the Rules, the Arbitrator was asked to decide whether the challenged Statements were an opinion or a fact. If, and only if, the Statement was determined to be a statement of fact, the Arbitrator was asked to further decided if, by a preponderance of the evidence, to determine if the Statement was true or false. If the statement identified by the Complainant is determined to be an opinion, no determination will be made as to that particular Statement because an opinion cannot be determined to be true nor false.
In this case, the Arbitrator had only the evidence submitted by the Complainant to consider. The evidence submitted included Ripoff Report #741717, Complainant’s Arbitration Statement, Complainant’s Witness Statements, and supporting documentation.
Each Statement challenged by the Complainant has been considered, together with any Witness Statements and Documents provided by the Complainant for determination of the truth or falsity of the Statement. The Author did not provide a response to the Complaint.
The Arbitrator determined that the certain statements challenged in the Report were false. Therefore, according to the VIP Arbitration Rules, those statements have been redacted.
Decided January 31, 2014
Bruce E. Meyerson, Arbitrator

After further review I am not convinced this is the same person as earlier reported and are therefore redacting the previous report.

The claim above is a complete fabrication created by an individual named Clifton Stults who I filed a complaint against on this very site last week. See
http://www.ripoffreport.com/toy-stores/bricks-and-figs/bricks-and-figs-bricksandfigs-3aad3.htm
After speaking with Clifton Stults over the phone last week he threatened to "lie and say whatever it takes" to destroy my reputation online if i didn't comply with his demands. I redacted my report in an attempt to diffuse tensions with him, but apparently that was not enough Mr. Stults. Thus, I corrected the record in my report today.
I will be filing a lawsuit against this person in the near future for theft, extortion and slander, and will update this site of its outcome.
