next week July 28, 4PM another haring will be held and Lloyd George Federal Court House, LV Nevada on NADN. Executives, CEO Weston Coolige and Al Rodreguez will once again center stage for quesioning. During the last hearing it became apparent that both men raided the NADA financially through a series of bogus corporations providing services...not rendered. The employees attending were not surprised. I gentleman by the name of Jerome Howell conveyed Robert Bennington had talked to him two days before to set a meeting Monday. Bennington, Howell said was in very good sprit. Howell inferred Bennington may have been murdered which shocked the room. Howell also ask why as CEO Coolidge did not come to NADN office the day US Trustee shut them down considering he was very much aware and informed. " Why couldn't you face the people that work so dilligently for you?" Coolidge wimpered inaudible words. Later Howell ask: was your Bentley brought with our wages as well? After court proceedings in early March Coolidge apparently brought a $180,000 Bentley and refurbished NADN's phone boiler room. Should you want to be put of the CONSUMER LAW SUIT against NADN please leave your full name, address, phone, the service you brought from NADN, the initial cost, and submit it to [DELETED] @ yahoo.com We are going after personal effects of all officers, executive directors, managers and contractors of NADN and affilliates. If we as employees and consumers can prove FRAUD then their personal assests can be seized. Corporate law does not protect you if fraud was commited. There will be a small fee for administrative and filing work that I discuss after hearing July 28. It is my intent to prove fraud and as employees we are in the best position to do that.

Anthony (Tony) Flood is the one that is now answering the phone of Bennington. I have heard that he is in Ventura, CA starting up a company just like this one. I have not heard the name of the company but thought you would all like to know what I heard.

Why did not the News Papers here in Vegas pick up on the story? Why didn't the press, TV come when they know the shop was being shut down? Why didn't they cover death, funeral, family and still yet to be answered where is the money for employees payroll? Even the reporter that intially reported this story reframed from follow up. Guess why? This extends beyond just NADN executives. West Coolidge isn't the only crook. He brags of his city hall contacts. Start there and see why they were in business so long. When was the last time you seen a story like this and a reporter did not follow up here in Vegas? All the NADN employees are now at ??? go find them. Hello. Follow the money: Not only Bennington, but now: Tony/Anthony, Lee, Joe, West...(Delaware Corp), operating under new business name(S) obtaining NADN clients. Bennington was executed to take the fall. He was a happy camper when we talked.

From the Las Vegas Sun: June 22, 2004 Tax audit firm founder found dead By Kevin Rademacher Robert Bennington, one of the founders of the now-defunct National Audit Defense Network, was found dead Sunday afternoon. The Clark County Coroner's Office classified the death as a suicide and listed the cause of death as a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Amid mounting legal pressure from state and federal investigators making allegations of fraud, the Las Vegas-based company closed its doors and moved to convert a 2003 bankruptcy filing to a liquidation and closed on May 26. Bennington, 40, founded National Audit Defense Network in 1994 with Cort Christie. "I don't know what I can say," said Weston Coolidge, NADN's former president. "I am devastated personally by the news of this event ... I am sad he felt this was something he had to do." Since the company closed, attorneys for the Justice Department had been pursuing restraining orders that would prevent the company's former executives from conducting similar schemes. Coolidge, who has maintained that the tax services the company sold were not illegal, said the legal struggle had been a source of pressure for Bennington. "I am sure that factor entered into his decision," Coolidge said. "He has been under relentless attack ... He was very despairing about his employment choices for the future." Bennington was divorced and had two children. In 2002 both the Federal Trade Commission and the Nevada Attorney General's Office sued NADN, alleging it failed to honor moneyback guarantees promised on its tax packages. Last summer, NADN's troubles mounted when it filed for bankruptcy protection. The largest creditor in the filing was the Internal Revenue Service, which had a $1.3 million claim against the company. On April 14 the IRS filed for a temporary restraining order against the company. The Justice Department on Monday also filed court documents claiming that former executives and employees of the company were illegally using NADN's customer list and database "and are continuing to scam customers through other entities." The filing lists Elite Solutions USA Inc., Global Management, Allied Grantwriters of America Inc. as the alleged new companies carrying out scams, as well as possibly other unknown entities. The filing asks for injunctions against ALR Inc., Lee Panelli, Jeff Klingenberg and Ric Klingenberg. The filing claims that the new entities are contacting customers who purchased products from NADN and offering to support those products.

I still have not filed my 2003 taxes yet because NADN has not sent them to me, nor will they. If you call their 800 number you will hear a message stating they went out of business as of May 28th. They shut their doors and I can not get any answers from anywhere. If anyone knows of a way, please let me know. I to want my money back for the thousands that I have sent them and not received the services.
