Stinger, you can rest assured that I am not going anywhere in that I plan to be here fighting and assisting others as long as ELI is needed. This is also the reason why I have been so open with my experiment so that others may join in the fight and can view and use my letters as a template for theirs.
Just because I have now placed the ball back in Getty's court does not mean I am here sitting on my hands. While I feel that my current packet is greatly improved over the information I had included with my previous complaint letters I am still continuously reading and researching through the net, court cases and rulings for items that are relevant and bolster ELI's side as well as things that will show a long history of questionable business practices by this company.
As a matter fact just last night I found a very interesting article from back in 2007 when Getty was a public company where to shareholders filed lawsuits against Jonathan Klein as well as other top Getty executives were accused of backdating stock options so that they could rake in huge personal profits. I would like to preface this by saying I have not had a chance as of yet to read the suits or find out what their outcomes were so I do not know as of yet but one of the stockholders bringing the suit says that 21 out of 25 of the discretionary grants just happened to coincide with his story close in the stock price making the redemption of the stock options extremely profitable for the executives. A link to the article may be found here:

<----Edit---->I just got done going over the information in the article above and found that to stockholder lawsuits were result. I have uploaded the complaints from PACER to my Scribd account and will make them available here. From what I can see the parties agreed to settle in Getty paid the plaintiffs legal fees which in one case was $900,000 but it appears that the settlement was caused by the merger of Getty resulting in Getty no longer being a publicly held company. It looks as if at least in the Edwards case that he was trying to say that Getty was doing this to kill the cases. I have scanned the complaints and the order and found them very interesting and wanted to share them with the rest of you.
This is the kind of information whether it be recent or old I am looking for an if anyone has more information, articles, court cases or rulings about Getty or a relevant to the Getty/troll issues please share them.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/109044451/Lopez-v-Getty-Stockholder-LawsuitGreg: My fear is that all this work you have done to prepare for the "War to end all wars" with Getty will be for naught, because they probably don't have the stones to push you any further.
What I hope is, if they push hard on anyone here on this forum, that you might take what you have learned to guide that person in taking the fight to Getty.
This war isn't over when one of us win. It is over when the trolls start trolling and get back to the business they are supposed to be in, rather than using the law as a business plan to go after the small fish.
