Thank you for your thoughts Barrett.
I wish you well and ask that you move on.
We also regret that, although you were the
“first” to sign and send back the NDA, we’re going to have to
pass.
Ps. I’ll be sure to work on my grammar
and punctuation skills, but not now, there’s a lot to do. J

Comrade Preisig-
I sincerely apologize if I've hurt your feelings. I shouldn't have spoken out
like that without having first gotten your side of the story. So, let's get
that side of the story, shall we?
1. You note that you tried to take responsibility for your actions by
"accepting a bar from the securities industry," and you seem to imply
that this proves something about how you learned your lesson or reached a
higher plane of spiritual understanding or something to that effect. Is that
not a strange point to make, seeing as how a bar from the securities industry
isn't something that you choose to "accept," but rather an utterly
involuntary punishment that I suppose you could have tried to appeal were it
not for the fact that the SEC had a pretty damned strong case against you?
2. In reference to the above point, why would anyone want to work with someone
who was too dishonest for the securities industry?
3. In reference to your second paragraph, how does anyone reach the age of 38
in a developed country without knowing when it is appropriate to capitalize
words and when it is not appropriate at all?
4. In reference to your assertion that "LoanSaver.com exemplifies [your]
growing concern and immediate need to 'Educate and Protect' [sic] the
'Homeowners of America' [sic]," why do I get the impression that the
education in question will involve educating people about what a great idea it
is to do business with your other firm, Aspen Merchant Capital, or some other
nifty little boiler room you've got set up in Florida or some such place? Is it
because I'm not retarded?
5. Which part of my last e-mail was "drivel"?
6. How did you managed to get "humbled" by writing an e-mail that
also accuses someone else of "vitriolic drivel"? Is it because
you figured out towards the end that your e-mail is full of non-sequitors and
dime-store New Age nonsense? Were you high when you wrote it?
7. Do you expect to actually make some good money off of this scam? If so, I
take back everything I wrote. Let's do business!
8. Just kidding.
9. Congrats on the marriage.
With sincerest regards and visions of the dawning of the Age of Aquarius,
Barrett Brown

Dear
Barrett, Dennis, et al
While my
history is no secret, it is, however, truly history (the acts I took
responsibility for occurred more than eleven years ago.) I do regret hurting people. So I did what
I believed to be the right thing - I took responsibility for my actions by
pleading guilty, accepting a bar from the securities industry, and paying into
a fund to help the investors I harmed. I'm now 38, recently married
(first for both of us) and look forward to having a family.
With this
said, my company; LoanSaver.com exemplifies my growing concern and immediate
need to "Educate & Protect" the "Homeowners of
Ok,
moving on. I have absolutely no experience in knowing what the "proper
wages" are for professional writers such as yourselves. I would encourage
any suggestion(s) that lends itself to accomplishing each other's goals, as the
magnitude of this company will benefit 10's of millions, and we're just getting
started.
Thank you
all for your sincere consideration, as I am humbled writing this email.
Respectfully,
Rich

I guess everything's been covered. I would just add
that the guy who's running the show per the NDA form has been barred from going
anywhere near a brokerage firm or even a share of stock:
http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/34-44266.htm
... and that he and his friends have a tendency to skip out on civil trials:
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117758451.html?categoryid=1009&cs=1
... and also that their offices are located on that same shitty block where all
the low-rent scam artists tend to congregate.
In fact, just Google "Rich Preisig" if you want to kill twenty
minutes.

Hey Guys,
Thank you
all for responding to our ad for freelance writers. We are looking forward to
launching a huge project and could use the help from all of you in this. The
exact nature of this project must remain confidential until its ready for
release, so I must have all of you sign and return the attached non-disclosure
agreements before topics can be assigned.
In an
effort to save time, once you have returned the NDA we will schedule a
conference call to disclose the nature of the project, discuss topics,
discuss pay and to answer all your questions.
I know
this may seem unusual, but given the scope of this project, this is how it must
be done. We are looking to work with 50 - 100 writers on a continuous
basis.
Please print, sign and fax this agreement to (866) 847 - 0478.
Once faxed
back, please email me your contact information. I will verify you have sent the
Non-Disclosure Agreement and forward you a schedule of conference calls along
with instructions on how to join the calls.
I look
forward to working with each of you.
