Multiut Corporation of Skokie, Illinois - has been and is billing customers for natural gas that they never delivered and or billing for much more gas then they delivered. They are billing for phantom deliveries and non existent deliveries

Multiut Corporation has been doing this for some time now - but it seems they have clout and are blocking any inquiries into their fraudulant billing practices.

Multiut Corporation is also over charging in billing for other services.

#5REBUTTAL Owner of company

Tue, May 30, 2006

Yehuda Jay Draiman ("Jay") is a disgruntled former employee of Multiut Corp. He was terminated in 2001 when he was detected diverting clients and funds of the company. He was subsequently found guilty of breaches of fiduciary duty, consumer fraud and deceptive trade practices and conspiracy, and a judgment in excess of $1.5 million was entered against him. In the course of that litigation, Jay was held in contempt several times by the Circuit Court of Cook County. The judgments and contempts were upheld by the Appellate court (see Appellate Court ruling 1-03-0857). Since that time, "JAY" has engaged in numerous acts of retribution to defame Muliut Corp. and its owner, Nachshon Draiman. All of these claims are false, contrived, and meritless. For the record, public documents also verify that "JAY" was convicted of 10 counts of wire and mail fraud during the 1980's. See United States v. Draiman, 784 F.2d 248 (7th Cir. 1986) Yehuda Draiman was also the subject of a special investigation conducted by the Illinois Legislative Investigating Commission for the Illinois General Assembly (see:4/22/75 Illinois Nursing Homes: A Report to the Illinois General Assembly)."JAY" was barred from serving in the nursing home field after he defrauded a resident under his care of more than $40,000. After the resident complained JAY took her to a deserted cornfield in the dead of winter at 8 degrees bellow zero..,and left her there..Luckily she was subsequently rescued by a Sheriff who happened to drive by.. In these instances, as well as the recent litigation, Jay's tactic has been to accuse others of illegatilities to shift the focus of attention away from him. The current posting is just another example of this tactic.
