The $Murraygate Tapes$ - Episode 3!

$Murray Norman Trachtenberg$

Tansi/Good Day Folks:

If this frivolous, vexatious, ridiculous Canadian taxpayer funded MMF lawsuit goes to trial it could still be at least 1-2 years away probably lasting a minimum of one month as Murray Trachtenberg questions each Plaintiff under oath then it's our turn! Terry Belhumeur if he hasn't been found in default by then will be a Co-Defendant.

From the get go, Counselor Trachtenberg will face several significant problems. Winnipeg Regional Vice-President Ron Chartrand, the most influencial Board of Director given the membership of his Region, never agreed to be a Plaintiff. Then last year former Federation Provincial Director Richard Delaronde followed by Bonnie McIntyre signed Notices of Discontinuance removing themselves as litigants. Recently Darrel Deslauriers joined the group. Could be by the time the judge and jury hear the case only David and Elbert Chartrand will remain.

How could www.cybersmokesignals.com allegedly defame the MMF Inc. and its Provincial Directors save for those who have already jumped the lawsuit ship? Who else will bail between now and then?

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk

Plaintiffs

Note: Richard Delaronde, Bonnie McIntyre and Darrel Deslauriers previously agreed to Notices of Discontinuance and, therefore, are no longer litigants. Vanessa Everton signed a declaration last year stating she was unaware of any malfeasance on the part of the MMF and in return was dropped as a Co-Defendant. Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench Rules prevent us from posting it verbatim otherwise we would. However, their names still appear on all documents with a line drawn through which is standard operating procedure.

Transcript skips to Page 9.

-- to go as long as our thousand-dollar deposit went, and after that it was -- I was out of it.

Q: Okay. Now, I don't want you to tell me about discussions you had with your lawyer, but let me just make sure that we identify a couple of documents.

This was a document that was filed with the court. It's called a notice of appointment. And I just want you to confirm for the record, based on that document, from July, either 25th or 26th, onward, at that time Mr. Niederhoffer was acting as your lawyer in this matter?

A: At that time, yes.

Q: Okay. And then subsequently you filed -- or you signed, at least, this document; it's called a notice of intention to act in person, dated August 30th, and effective that date, Mr. Niederhoffer was no longer acting fo you and you have continued to represent yourself since then; correct?

A: Correct.

Q: Thank you. And I notice on the notice of intention to act in person, under your name, the address is that Box 166 in Gunton?

A: Um-hum.

Q: Am I correct that after filing this document with the court, you have never filed anything with the court giving any other address than the Box 166?

Page 10

A: That's true.

Q: I'm going to show you a series of letters. I just want you to identify that you received a copy of these letters that are addressed to you, and then we can discuss the contents.

The first one is a letter dated July 6, 2007, addressed to you and Mr. Pieuk. Are you able to confirm that at some point you had received a copy of this letter from me?

A: For dates, yes, I do remember that one.

Q: Okay. And now prior to July 6, 2007, which is the date of that letter, would you agree with me, you would not advise me of any changes in your address?

A: I didn't advise yu, but where are we going with that?

Q: Just want to make sure that we're clear. As of July 6, 2007 ---

A: You can still send me the -- material there, if you'd like; it's just that here, at least I -- I know that my girlfriend will tell me it came in.

Q: Alright.
