*******I Need the Eli Community’s Help******
Today I was presented with an opportunity which looks very interesting. I finally received a response from the SEC on my request under the Freedom of Information Act for all records pertaining to investigation of Jonathan Klein and top officers at Getty images backdating stock options. If you do not remember when I discovered this and the associated stockholder lawsuits you may read my posts here:

There was an SEC investigation of Jonathan Klein, the top officers and Getty images over the backdating which Getty admits did happen though they claim it was clerical errors. The SEC has informed me that they have located four boxes of records pertaining to this investigation. I believe there must be some good information in these records which could be used to expose what goes on at Getty Images, I am hoping there would be a complete financial included in the documentation which would show the breakdown of Getty’s income and we could get a look at how much Getty actually makes off of their settlement demand letters as well as many more interesting items like that which we can use. The problem is that I must pay for someone at the SEC to sit down and go through these four boxes of documentation, redact information deemed too sensitive and copy the files. The SEC is asking for $840 for their time and $.24 per page and I am estimating final costs for getting this information around $1200. My intention is to release this information once I have obtained it so that everyone may see how the top brass at Getty operate. Here’s the letter I received from the SEC:

The reason for this post is I do not have $1200 to spare laying a round; I have spoken to Matthew and Robert tonight and suggested the idea of presenting it to the Eli community to see if anyone would be interested in helping to fund this. I am committing $150 to obtaining this documentation, Robert and Matthew have committed to $25 each towards the cause which leaves me needing approximately $1000 which would only be 40 people at $25 each. Right now I do not wish to receive any money I am just looking for firm commitments of any amount from anyone interested in this project. If it looks like the project will be doable at that point Matthew and I will set up some sort of secure donation method most likely using PayPal.
The reason why I am doing this in the sense of urgency is the letter states I must make a commitment by February 11 which is just one week from today. I will be contacting the SEC tomorrow to see if this deadline can be extended and why there is such a sense of urgency for the commitment on their part as they have stated it can take 18 to 24 months before my turn in the queue comes up in my documents are processed.
If you are willing to assist in this project please email me at GregTroy@YeahWeDoThat.Biz and let me know the amount you would be willing to donate to this cause.
