And on a lighter subject...

Quite a bit more, but I doubt my presence there will influence the ruling one way or the other.

I know what you mean. I have a money that I can`t get out of the Bank. I have a lawyer, but there`s nothing I can do about it. Except, perhaps, get a lot of stones and go break all its windows And don`t think that I haven`t thought about doing it.

kind of like Cynthie can't get title to the property her husband left her, how annoying...

Thing is, an attorney is handling it, and my attendance isn't required. But I would like to go.

I wish...

Now there's an idea

I would be very interested to hear the proceedings, but I doubt my presence will make a difference as to the outcome.

yeah basically

So.. if the case wins you'll get your money back even if you're not there?

It's not so much the fare as losing a day's pay. The attorney said there would be a good turnout, so I'm going to pass.

An attorney is handling it, and I rather doubt my presence would make a difference, but I would like to hear the discussion.

So go? What is the money for fare in thenlong run? You go - hear me?

I didn't, and airfare is up today. Didn't want to lose the day's pay. I think we have good representation (I hope).

I wonder how quickly after the session that they will be able to make a decision...

Lets hope so, let us know. Have a great weekend there.

have decided I will trust the attorney as I need the day's pay

It's a court ordered mediator, that's all I know.

Oh, it's a lot more, but even if I decided to go, I have to put my faith in the attorney that is arguing the case for us.

It's much less, but we are being represented by an attorney, and lots of other investors are going, so I decided to pass. I need that day's pay.

We do have a lawyer arguing the case, and a lot of the investors are attending, so hopefully they can do without me...

An attorney is handling it, and my presence is not going to change the decision...

Now that does make a difference. If the attorney is there and as I read in some of yi=our comments, other employees then you might as well stay home.

basically what I"m doing... I'm worried about money as September 1 I will have to start paying full price for benefits if I don't get hired here.

I think it would be fascinating, and if I still lived in Los Angeles I would go, but I don't want to lose the day's pay, bottom line.

quite a lot more, although I doubt my presence will influence the decision one way or another...

No guarantees. The case is being handled by an attorney, and my presence will probably not influence the mediator's decision one way or the other.

I really really really want to go, but I also really need to save my money.

Basically, the money is sitting in a bank account. The question is whether the money will go to the FDIC or the investors. It's complicated, but basically the FDIC was the first lienholder on the one property that we were able to get money back out of. They are also the successor to the bank that perpetrated the fraud. Because of that, we are arguing that they should give us the money. Anyway, I decided not to go, don't want to lose a day's pay when I am already planning an unpaid vacation in June.

Ha, well I hesitated, and now airfares have gone up. An attorney is handling the case, and a fair number of the other investors will be there, so I don't think my presence will make a difference. I don't really want to lose the day's pay given that I'm taking an unpaid vacation in June.

I think you missed the point. This retirement account already was the victim of a scam, and this meeting is a mediation in an attempt to get some of the money back.
