Interesting thought.....but GOOD companies RESOLVE PROBLEMS and DEAL WITH COMPLAINTS fairly and in the best interest of the customer!
 
There is also a difference between a basher and a critical thinker. We can't have any critical thinkers, now can we!

Subject: [GEET-Paul-Pantone-Problems] Bashers

Lessons for company bashing;

Lesson 1: Remember, BASHERS NEVER Bash A BAD Person or Company.
Check the websites for People or companies with no potential. They never
have
any Bashers. Bashers only go after People or companies that are moving up or
have excellent potential to do so. Bashers work to bring the person or
company values down to either increase their position at the expense of
others or help others to steal the identity or company.  Sometimes they bash
because they are jealous of the other persons success.

You know, reading this I see the marks of a man of faith and courage. It takes a great deal of strength for someone who is knocked down to keep the faith that if enough good people will put their heads and hearts together, that something good will eventually happen. So is it with the lessons we all learned from Paul Pantone.
 
There are a lot of people affected by PP that could be running around bitter and angry, yet never do anything to go beyond. We can either give up and take on a pessimistic attitude, or we can move forward.
 
Good luck, Del, and the rest of you trying to pull some good out of this mess.
 
A great philosopher said that out of chaos the stars are born.
 
Perhaps, with positive outlooks, we can create more stars.
 
As for the response to my initial note, I recognize we have a real world to deal with: I, for one, am doing what I can to make it better on the personal level.

      What's really weird is how people turn victims into heroes. I'm
not saying that applies to this situation, but that's another weird
thing that happens.

Furthermore, we try to make the victim feel responsible for the
criminal having the opportunity to take advantage of us.

     Credit cards have credit limits. They don't go out of business.

     The woman didn't rape herself. Paul Pantone, as far as I've
heard, doesn't break into houses. A victim is someone who is
victimized by someone else, not someone victimized by him/herself.

we should be able to leave our doors open without a predator taking

     We should, but we can't yet. We live in a world mixed with good

with the world, there would be nothing to do and we'd all get sick of
it.

being beaten.
    Likewise, she didn't beat herself.

In business, we should be able to extend credit with a reasonable
expectation of getting what is promised us -- and thus be able to pay
our own bills.
     Justice is the function of the government in our imperfect
society. In the future we will move in the direction of more perfect
capitalism and anarchism, reducing the need for government. This
trend has already started. Perhaps Mr. Christensen will get his money

     Yeah. I've fallen for a lot of hoaxes. Some people hope for a
better world. I do. But you've got to be realistic in your hope. A
better world is achieved by working in the real one, not by
pretending you've already arrived.

      I agree.
Let's stop blaming victims for the crimes. It is the very
quality that allowed us to become victims that will, in time, make
this world a better place.
    Hoping for a better world without trying to create it is like
hoping you'll get a bicycle for Christmas without telling your
parents or Santa at the mall. You've got to work at it. I fail to see
how losing thousands of dollars makes the world a better place. What
was accomplished? After the first few thousand, yes, that exposed

Sorry if that was a little harsh. I wrote that at 4 am. I see
that your attitude, if not your business sense, is superior to
Pantone's. I agree; Pantone must be stopped. If this technology is
real, he's a menace to progress. If not, he's a con man. I think if
revenge is accomplished, it should involve developing the geet
technology for the good of mankind.
      Does anyone in this newsgroup have evidence that geet really
works? If so, is there some way of developing the technology despite
his patent? Like in other countries? Mexico City isn't all that far
away, and has smog thick enough to use as fuel. :)

Hi Del and all...
 
I just got back from a few days out of town on family business, and found this group alive! I'm thrilled. Actually, this is my "bulk mail" address, so I don't check it too often. I'll share some thoughts I've had about this whole situation:
 
One of the saddest phenomena in our culture today is that we tend to blame the victim of criminals, and pity the criminals in the same breath. Furthermore, we try to make the victim feel responsible for the criminal having the opportunity to take advantage of us.
 
"She dresses provocatively. No wonder she was raped." "They left their garage door open. No wonder somebody pulled in with a truck and emptied the house." "She talks back to him. No wonder he beats her." "He extended credit. No wonder he went out of business."
 
The issue is not whether or not we make choices that allow us to be victimized. In my opionion, a woman should be able to dress anyway she pleases without worrying that some sick individual will rape her; we should be able to leave our doors open without a predator taking our every possession. Women should be able to speak with confidence to their mates, to share their opinions and be full partners without being beaten. In business, we should be able to extend credit with a reasonable expectation of getting what is promised us -- and thus be able to pay our own bills.
 
The fact is that victims are easy marks simply because they are people who believe in the innate goodness of humanity. They are people who truly give a damn about others and the world. They are people who choose to seek out goodness. As many words of faith say, they believe that they will find what they seek, and thus do not look for ill in others.
 
Thank God for these victims; for these people who have erred on the side of faith. They give me hope that, if enough good people come together and set aside the divergencies of their faith and center upon the common and our desire to create a better world, we will eventually overcome the anger, hate, crime and evil that walks in this world.
 
Paul and Molley took advantage of us all. It wasn't because we are weak nor stupid. He took advantage of us because we are people of great love; most of us profess some level of spirituality in our respective faiths. To a one, all of us believe in making this a better world.
 
Let's stop pointing fingers at one-another, and realize that Paul Pantone took advantage of what is our best quality to his own selfish ideals. Let's stop blaming victims for the crimes. It is the very quality that allowed us to become victims that will, in time, make this world a better place.
 
Be well! I'll check in now and again.
 
Bob Dierking

I find it rather difficult to see Pantone as a villain because of his
sheer stupidity. But this Mr. Christensen takes the cake! I find it
impossible to find Mr. Christensen as the good guy in this out of his
even greater stupidity. Lending money to someone who already owes you
money is something you Just Don't Do. And gambling one's money on a

> COUNTER CLAIM
> Cross-Complainant M. Del Christensen (Christensen), complains
against plaintiff and each of them as follows:
> BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
> 1. In October 1999, Christensen received information in regards to
the development of an energy saving technology, to which
cross-complainant investigated and met with cross-defendant Paul
Pantone (Pantone).  Christensen was allowed to observe some of the
devises created under the direction of Pantone at the then business
location for GEET Management LLC located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
> 2. Christensen expressed an interest in the technology, and Pantone
requested that Christensen prepare prototype "reaction chambers" based
on specifications provided by Pantone. Christensen
>  3.  Christensen quoted a price to prepare said prototypes for
$1,500.00, which amount was agreed to be acceptable by Pantone.
>  4.  Within 2 weeks of this agreement, on or about the end of
October, Christensen delivered 7 prototype reaction chambers, to
Pantone, which Pantone accepted as satisfactory.  Pantone was only
able to pay $1,000.00 but promised the remainder shortly.
>  5.  Pantone was satisfied with the product, so much so that Pantone
ordered an additional 500 of the units, to be at various sizes,
stating that Pantone needed these to sell at a show in Idaho that
Pantone was to attend. Pantone agreed to an estimated price of $14,000.00
>  6.  Within 5 weeks of receiving this order, and within the time
frame as required by Pantone, Christensen delivered the 500 units to
Pantone, and provided an invoice for $14,000.00.
>  7.  Pantone had some concerns over some of the units provided, so
Christensen had some of his employees of his make the necessary
revisions, and produced the units to Pantone's satisfaction.
>  8.  These prototypes were specially manufactured, to the
specifications provided by Pantone, and were not useable in any other
application except as to meet Pantone's purposes.
>  9.  Pantone did not have the storage facilities at his residence,
to store all units provided by Christensen.  Pantone took
approximately 230 of the units and requested that Christensen store
the remainder, until Pantone returned from the Idaho show.
>  10.  Pantone promised to pay for the production in full upon his
return from Idaho, claiming that he would be able to sell or take
orders at the show sufficient to pay for the manufactured units.
>  11.  Upon Pantone's return, Pantone explained that he was only able
to sell 4 or 5 of the units, and tried to return them to Christensen.
 Christensen had no use for the units, but offered to store them until
Pantone was able to sell them. 
>  12. Commencing in February, 2000, Pantone explained that his
company was undergoing some management changes, and that his wife
Molley had just left him, which made it difficult to concentrate on
his work. Pantone requested that Christensen have patience and
continue to work with Pantone, and that Christensen would be more then
compensated as soon as these problems were resolved.
>  13.  Pantone requested that Christensen continue to store the
reaction chambers all ready manufactured, but also requested other
product and asked that Christensen ship them to designated customers
as provided by Pantone. These products were to be shipped under the
GEET logo, and  Christensen would be paid upon receipt of funds.
>  14.  Christensen complied with Pantone's request, providing Pantone
with invoices for all product produced and shipped.
>  15.  Shortly thereafter Pantone moved his operations to Colorado to
attempt to reconcile with his wife.  Pantone requested that
Christensen continue to manufacture and ship product as ordered.
>  16.  Christensen produced and shipped approximately $50,000.00 in
product of which $15,000.00 has been received.
>  17.  In May of 2000, Christensen received a telephone call from
Pantone claiming that he was at the Exotic Research Conference being
held in Arizona. Pantone explained that the promoter of the conference
had disappeared and was not honoring his guarantee to make payment to
the Hotel causing Pantone and his group to be locked out of their
Hotel rooms and the Exhibit Hall.
>  18.  Pantone requested that Christensen let Pantone use his credit
card in order to get his belongings, and promised repayment within 3
days, and Christensen agreed.
>  19.  Pantone used Christensen's credit card, taking care of his
bill, to which Christensen agreed to, but then Pantone also used the
credit card to pay the bills of several others that were in the same
situation at the conference, but without the permission of Christensen.
>  20.  Pantone placed about $5,000.00 on the credit card, but has yet
to reimburse Christensen for that amount.
>  21.  During the summer of 2000, Christensen received a telephone
call from Pantone claiming that he was in jail again, in Colorado, for
violating a court order relating to domestic violence charges, and
that he needed assistance in posting the bail of $1,000.00.
>  22.  Pantone promised that if Christensen would post the bail it
would be paid back within 1 week.
>  23.  Christensen used one of his credit cards, and had the bail
posted, but has not been reimbursed.
>  24. A few weeks later, Christensen received another similar
telephone call, Pantone was again in jail, for violating a court order
and needed bail posted in the amount of $1,500.00, and would reimburse
Christensen as soon as possible.
>  25.  Christensen again posted bail, but has not been reimbursed.
>  26.  A few weeks after being arrested, Pantone again contacts
Christensen by way of telephone, and requests that Christensen assist
him to getting out of Colorado, as Pantone claimed he was allowed to
leave the state, but was afraid that the authorities were after him,
and needed to get away. Pantone promised to reimburse Christensen for
all costs incurred to get him out of Colorado.
>  27.  Christensen made the necessary arrangements, renting a moving
van, obtaining and paying the wages of two men to drive to Pantone's
location and return him to Salt Lake. Christensen incurred a cost in
excess of $2,000.00 which remains unpaid.
>  28.  Upon Pantone's return to Utah, Pantone approached Christensen
and offered Christensen the GEET distributorship for Utah as partial
compensation for Christensen's assistance.
>  29.  Christensen subsequently discovered that Pantone had all ready
sold the distributorship rights to Utah to 2 other individuals whose
distributorship rights were never taken away.
>  30.  When Pantone returned he approached Christensen and produced
information that Pantone had received requests from over 250
individuals that wanted training in the GEET technology, and that he
had several that were ready to start immediately, at a suggested
training price of $1,500.00.
>  31.  Pantone suggested that Christensen could run the school to be
called GEET International Institute, and that Christensen would be
reimbursed out of the tuition, so long as a portion would go to
Pantone.  The parties agreed to initially charge $1,200.00 as the tuition.
>  32.  Pantone stated that he had confirmation of 30 students, but
needed the school ready by August 7, 2000.
>  33. Christensen borrowed the funds necessary to obtain a suitable
place for the school, to obtain the necessary school supplies and have
the needed support staff in order to run the school. Christensen
incurred a debt of approximately $26,000.00 to have the school ready
by August 7, 2000 as demanded by Pantone.
>  34.  On August 7, 2000, no student showed up.
>  35.  Since that date, the GEET International Institute has had 12
students.
>  36.  Of these 12 students only 3 paid tuition, 8 of the remainder
were students that agreed to attend the school as a set off for monies
previously given to Pantone for product that was not received.
>  37. The school was shut down in December 2000, as there were no
students, no monies were raised to support the school, and the
promises of students did not materialize.
> 38.  As part of the instruction, it was the intent to demonstrate to
the students how the GEET technology worked.  Christensen on several
occasions requested that Pantone come to the school to implement the
technology on some of the engines there that would meet the claims as
made by Pantone.
> 39. A demo engine was provided, but did not burn all the fuel as
promised, likewise a genset was provided, but this was not able to run
at full power.
> 40. When asked to remedy the problem, Pantone explained that it had
been sabotaged by previous employees, and recommended that Christensen
make the repairs. 
> 41.  While at the school. Pantone made several purchases on behalf
of the school that were charged to Christensen.  These included
without limitation costs for parts and equipment, acquired under the
guise of testing the technology, but did not produce anything noteworthy.
> 42.  Christensen subsequently was introduced to other individuals
who were in the process of developing energy reduction processes that
were significantly different that that of Pantone, and appears to have
a future. Christensen is presently working with this group.   
> 43.  Christensen has since entered into a business relationship with
these other individuals, but has not made any development on the
ineffective GEET technology.

Hey all & for you new ones that have just joined. I never started this fight with Paul P, but sense he wants it then lets give the guy what he wants.
 
I understand that I haven't always done everything the right way. Looking back I am ashamed of myself. I have said that before & still believe it now.
 
I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me, or help me get out of my financial problems, they are all mine, as I was told when growing up, you made it now sleep in it.
 
But I would love to stop Paul if possible? So any help in that direction will be greatly appreciated. And if I have, or can help in anyway to stop Paul please let me know.

   WTF?!

I find it rather difficult to see Pantone as a villain because of his
sheer stupidity. But this Mr. Christensen takes the cake! I find it
impossible to find Mr. Christensen as the good guy in this out of his
even greater stupidity. Lending money to someone who already owes you
money is something you Just Don't Do. And gambling one's money on a
technology sight unseen is similarly dumb. You guys belong on Judge Judy.

> COUNTER CLAIM
> Cross-Complainant M. Del Christensen (Christensen), complains
against plaintiff and each of them as follows:
> BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
> 1. In October 1999, Christensen received information in regards to
the development of an energy saving technology, to which
cross-complainant investigated and met with cross-defendant Paul
Pantone (Pantone).  Christensen was allowed to observe some of the
devises created under the direction of Pantone at the then business
location for GEET Management LLC located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
> 2. Christensen expressed an interest in the technology, and Pantone
requested that Christensen prepare prototype "reaction chambers" based
on specifications provided by Pantone. Christensen
>  3.  Christensen quoted a price to prepare said prototypes for
$1,500.00, which amount was agreed to be acceptable by Pantone.
>  4.  Within 2 weeks of this agreement, on or about the end of
October, Christensen delivered 7 prototype reaction chambers, to
Pantone, which Pantone accepted as satisfactory.  Pantone was only
able to pay $1,000.00 but promised the remainder shortly.
>  5.  Pantone was satisfied with the product, so much so that Pantone
ordered an additional 500 of the units, to be at various sizes,
stating that Pantone needed these to sell at a show in Idaho that
Pantone was to attend. Pantone agreed to an estimated price of $14,000.00
>  6.  Within 5 weeks of receiving this order, and within the time
frame as required by Pantone, Christensen delivered the 500 units to
Pantone, and provided an invoice for $14,000.00.
>  7.  Pantone had some concerns over some of the units provided, so
Christensen had some of his employees of his make the necessary
revisions, and produced the units to Pantone's satisfaction.
>  8.  These prototypes were specially manufactured, to the
specifications provided by Pantone, and were not useable in any other
application except as to meet Pantone's purposes.
>  9.  Pantone did not have the storage facilities at his residence,
to store all units provided by Christensen.  Pantone took
approximately 230 of the units and requested that Christensen store
the remainder, until Pantone returned from the Idaho show.
>  10.  Pantone promised to pay for the production in full upon his
return from Idaho, claiming that he would be able to sell or take
orders at the show sufficient to pay for the manufactured units.
>  11.  Upon Pantone's return, Pantone explained that he was only able
to sell 4 or 5 of the units, and tried to return them to Christensen.
 Christensen had no use for the units, but offered to store them until
Pantone was able to sell them. 
>  12. Commencing in February, 2000, Pantone explained that his
company was undergoing some management changes, and that his wife
Molley had just left him, which made it difficult to concentrate on
his work. Pantone requested that Christensen have patience and
continue to work with Pantone, and that Christensen would be more then
compensated as soon as these problems were resolved.
>  13.  Pantone requested that Christensen continue to store the
reaction chambers all ready manufactured, but also requested other
product and asked that Christensen ship them to designated customers
as provided by Pantone. These products were to be shipped under the
GEET logo, and  Christensen would be paid upon receipt of funds.
>  14.  Christensen complied with Pantone's request, providing Pantone
with invoices for all product produced and shipped.
>  15.  Shortly thereafter Pantone moved his operations to Colorado to
attempt to reconcile with his wife.  Pantone requested that
Christensen continue to manufacture and ship product as ordered.
>  16.  Christensen produced and shipped approximately $50,000.00 in
product of which $15,000.00 has been received.
>  17.  In May of 2000, Christensen received a telephone call from
Pantone claiming that he was at the Exotic Research Conference being
held in Arizona. Pantone explained that the promoter of the conference
had disappeared and was not honoring his guarantee to make payment to
the Hotel causing Pantone and his group to be locked out of their
Hotel rooms and the Exhibit Hall.
>  18.  Pantone requested that Christensen let Pantone use his credit
card in order to get his belongings, and promised repayment within 3
days, and Christensen agreed.
>  19.  Pantone used Christensen's credit card, taking care of his
bill, to which Christensen agreed to, but then Pantone also used the
credit card to pay the bills of several others that were in the same
situation at the conference, but without the permission of Christensen.
>  20.  Pantone placed about $5,000.00 on the credit card, but has yet
to reimburse Christensen for that amount.
>  21.  During the summer of 2000, Christensen received a telephone
call from Pantone claiming that he was in jail again, in Colorado, for
violating a court order relating to domestic violence charges, and
that he needed assistance in posting the bail of $1,000.00.
>  22.  Pantone promised that if Christensen would post the bail it
would be paid back within 1 week.
>  23.  Christensen used one of his credit cards, and had the bail
posted, but has not been reimbursed.
>  24. A few weeks later, Christensen received another similar
telephone call, Pantone was again in jail, for violating a court order
and needed bail posted in the amount of $1,500.00, and would reimburse
Christensen as soon as possible.
>  25.  Christensen again posted bail, but has not been reimbursed.
>  26.  A few weeks after being arrested, Pantone again contacts
Christensen by way of telephone, and requests that Christensen assist
him to getting out of Colorado, as Pantone claimed he was allowed to
leave the state, but was afraid that the authorities were after him,
and needed to get away. Pantone promised to reimburse Christensen for
all costs incurred to get him out of Colorado.
>  27.  Christensen made the necessary arrangements, renting a moving
van, obtaining and paying the wages of two men to drive to Pantone's
location and return him to Salt Lake. Christensen incurred a cost in
excess of $2,000.00 which remains unpaid.
>  28.  Upon Pantone's return to Utah, Pantone approached Christensen
and offered Christensen the GEET distributorship for Utah as partial
compensation for Christensen's assistance.
>  29.  Christensen subsequently discovered that Pantone had all ready
sold the distributorship rights to Utah to 2 other individuals whose
distributorship rights were never taken away.
>  30.  When Pantone returned he approached Christensen and produced
information that Pantone had received requests from over 250
individuals that wanted training in the GEET technology, and that he
had several that were ready to start immediately, at a suggested
training price of $1,500.00.
>  31.  Pantone suggested that Christensen could run the school to be
called GEET International Institute, and that Christensen would be
reimbursed out of the tuition, so long as a portion would go to
Pantone.  The parties agreed to initially charge $1,200.00 as the tuition.
>  32.  Pantone stated that he had confirmation of 30 students, but
needed the school ready by August 7, 2000.
>  33. Christensen borrowed the funds necessary to obtain a suitable
place for the school, to obtain the necessary school supplies and have
the needed support staff in order to run the school. Christensen
incurred a debt of approximately $26,000.00 to have the school ready
by August 7, 2000 as demanded by Pantone.
>  34.  On August 7, 2000, no student showed up.
>  35.  Since that date, the GEET International Institute has had 12
students.
>  36.  Of these 12 students only 3 paid tuition, 8 of the remainder
were students that agreed to attend the school as a set off for monies
previously given to Pantone for product that was not received.
>  37. The school was shut down in December 2000, as there were no
students, no monies were raised to support the school, and the
promises of students did not materialize.
> 38.  As part of the instruction, it was the intent to demonstrate to
the students how the GEET technology worked.  Christensen on several
occasions requested that Pantone come to the school to implement the
technology on some of the engines there that would meet the claims as
made by Pantone.
> 39. A demo engine was provided, but did not burn all the fuel as
promised, likewise a genset was provided, but this was not able to run
at full power.
> 40. When asked to remedy the problem, Pantone explained that it had
been sabotaged by previous employees, and recommended that Christensen
make the repairs. 
> 41.  While at the school. Pantone made several purchases on behalf
of the school that were charged to Christensen.  These included
without limitation costs for parts and equipment, acquired under the
guise of testing the technology, but did not produce anything noteworthy.
> 42.  Christensen subsequently was introduced to other individuals
who were in the process of developing energy reduction processes that
were significantly different that that of Pantone, and appears to have
a future. Christensen is presently working with this group.   
> 43.  Christensen has since entered into a business relationship with
these other individuals, but has not made any development on the
ineffective GEET technology.
> FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
> Breach of Contract - Reaction Chambers
> 44.  Christensen incorporates by this reference paragraphs 1 through
43 of this complaint as if set forth in full herein.
> 45.  In February 2000, Pantone contracted with Christensen for the
delivery of 500 specially made reaction chambers for $14,000.00.
>  46.  Christensen delivered said reaction chambers, and after making
some minor changes were approved and accepted by Pantone.
>  47.  Demand for payment on these reaction chambers has been made,
but defendants and each of them refuse to pay as agreed.

WTF?!

I find it rather difficult to see Pantone as a villain because of his
sheer stupidity. But this Mr. Christensen takes the cake! I find it
impossible to find Mr. Christensen as the good guy in this out of his
even greater stupidity. Lending money to someone who already owes you
money is something you Just Don't Do. And gambling one's money on a
technology sight unseen is similarly dumb. You guys belong on Judge Judy.

> COUNTER CLAIM
> Cross-Complainant M. Del Christensen (Christensen), complains
against plaintiff and each of them as follows:
> BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
> 1. In October 1999, Christensen received information in regards to
the development of an energy saving technology, to which
cross-complainant investigated and met with cross-defendant Paul
Pantone (Pantone).  Christensen was allowed to observe some of the
devises created under the direction of Pantone at the then business
location for GEET Management LLC located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
> 2. Christensen expressed an interest in the technology, and Pantone
requested that Christensen prepare prototype "reaction chambers" based
on specifications provided by Pantone. Christensen
>  3.  Christensen quoted a price to prepare said prototypes for
$1,500.00, which amount was agreed to be acceptable by Pantone.
>  4.  Within 2 weeks of this agreement, on or about the end of
October, Christensen delivered 7 prototype reaction chambers, to
Pantone, which Pantone accepted as satisfactory.  Pantone was only
able to pay $1,000.00 but promised the remainder shortly.
>  5.  Pantone was satisfied with the product, so much so that Pantone
ordered an additional 500 of the units, to be at various sizes,
stating that Pantone needed these to sell at a show in Idaho that
Pantone was to attend. Pantone agreed to an estimated price of $14,000.00
>  6.  Within 5 weeks of receiving this order, and within the time
frame as required by Pantone, Christensen delivered the 500 units to
Pantone, and provided an invoice for $14,000.00.
>  7.  Pantone had some concerns over some of the units provided, so
Christensen had some of his employees of his make the necessary
revisions, and produced the units to Pantone's satisfaction.
>  8.  These prototypes were specially manufactured, to the
specifications provided by Pantone, and were not useable in any other
application except as to meet Pantone's purposes.
>  9.  Pantone did not have the storage facilities at his residence,
to store all units provided by Christensen.  Pantone took
approximately 230 of the units and requested that Christensen store
the remainder, until Pantone returned from the Idaho show.
>  10.  Pantone promised to pay for the production in full upon his
return from Idaho, claiming that he would be able to sell or take
orders at the show sufficient to pay for the manufactured units.
>  11.  Upon Pantone's return, Pantone explained that he was only able
to sell 4 or 5 of the units, and tried to return them to Christensen.
  Christensen had no use for the units, but offered to store them until
Pantone was able to sell them.
>  12. Commencing in February, 2000, Pantone explained that his
company was undergoing some management changes, and that his wife
Molley had just left him, which made it difficult to concentrate on
his work. Pantone requested that Christensen have patience and
continue to work with Pantone, and that Christensen would be more then
compensated as soon as these problems were resolved.
>  13.  Pantone requested that Christensen continue to store the
reaction chambers all ready manufactured, but also requested other
product and asked that Christensen ship them to designated customers
as provided by Pantone. These products were to be shipped under the
GEET logo, and  Christensen would be paid upon receipt of funds.
>  14.  Christensen complied with Pantone's request, providing Pantone
with invoices for all product produced and shipped.
>  15.  Shortly thereafter Pantone moved his operations to Colorado to
attempt to reconcile with his wife.  Pantone requested that
Christensen continue to manufacture and ship product as ordered.
>  16.  Christensen produced and shipped approximately $50,000.00 in
product of which $15,000.00 has been received.
>  17.  In May of 2000, Christensen received a telephone call from
Pantone claiming that he was at the Exotic Research Conference being
held in Arizona. Pantone explained that the promoter of the conference
had disappeared and was not honoring his guarantee to make payment to
the Hotel causing Pantone and his group to be locked out of their
Hotel rooms and the Exhibit Hall.
>  18.  Pantone requested that Christensen let Pantone use his credit
card in order to get his belongings, and promised repayment within 3
days, and Christensen agreed.
>  19.  Pantone used Christensen's credit card, taking care of his
bill, to which Christensen agreed to, but then Pantone also used the
credit card to pay the bills of several others that were in the same
situation at the conference, but without the permission of Christensen.
>  20.  Pantone placed about $5,000.00 on the credit card, but has yet
to reimburse Christensen for that amount.
>  21.  During the summer of 2000, Christensen received a telephone
call from Pantone claiming that he was in jail again, in Colorado, for
violating a court order relating to domestic violence charges, and
that he needed assistance in posting the bail of $1,000.00.
>  22.  Pantone promised that if Christensen would post the bail it
would be paid back within 1 week.
>  23.  Christensen used one of his credit cards, and had the bail
posted, but has not been reimbursed.
>  24. A few weeks later, Christensen received another similar
telephone call, Pantone was again in jail, for violating a court order
and needed bail posted in the amount of $1,500.00, and would reimburse
Christensen as soon as possible.
>  25.  Christensen again posted bail, but has not been reimbursed.
>  26.  A few weeks after being arrested, Pantone again contacts
Christensen by way of telephone, and requests that Christensen assist
him to getting out of Colorado, as Pantone claimed he was allowed to
leave the state, but was afraid that the authorities were after him,
and needed to get away. Pantone promised to reimburse Christensen for
all costs incurred to get him out of Colorado.
>  27.  Christensen made the necessary arrangements, renting a moving
van, obtaining and paying the wages of two men to drive to Pantone's
location and return him to Salt Lake. Christensen incurred a cost in
excess of $2,000.00 which remains unpaid.
>  28.  Upon Pantone's return to Utah, Pantone approached Christensen
and offered Christensen the GEET distributorship for Utah as partial
compensation for Christensen's assistance.
>  29.  Christensen subsequently discovered that Pantone had all ready
sold the distributorship rights to Utah to 2 other individuals whose
distributorship rights were never taken away.
>  30.  When Pantone returned he approached Christensen and produced
information that Pantone had received requests from over 250
individuals that wanted training in the GEET technology, and that he
had several that were ready to start immediately, at a suggested
training price of $1,500.00.
>  31.  Pantone suggested that Christensen could run the school to be
called GEET International Institute, and that Christensen would be
reimbursed out of the tuition, so long as a portion would go to
Pantone.  The parties agreed to initially charge $1,200.00 as the tuition.
>  32.  Pantone stated that he had confirmation of 30 students, but
needed the school ready by August 7, 2000.
>  33. Christensen borrowed the funds necessary to obtain a suitable
place for the school, to obtain the necessary school supplies and have
the needed support staff in order to run the school. Christensen
incurred a debt of approximately $26,000.00 to have the school ready
by August 7, 2000 as demanded by Pantone.
>  34.  On August 7, 2000, no student showed up.
>  35.  Since that date, the GEET International Institute has had 12
students.
>  36.  Of these 12 students only 3 paid tuition, 8 of the remainder
were students that agreed to attend the school as a set off for monies
previously given to Pantone for product that was not received.

Hey phokes. I'm a whiz with html. Very meticulous, perfect spelling

not completely up to speed on what the position of the people here is.
      For instance, do the people here believe that the geet device
works, but that Pantone isn't managing it properly just to piss
everybody off? Or do you fellas say it doesn't work at all? As for me,
I'm agnostic at this point. I'm still looking for evidence on either side.

Subject: Pantone's patent getting invalidated
truthishell@...
Send Email Send Email
 
The Christensen countersuit is using the "doctrine of unclean hands"
on one point. My prediction – Pantone's patent will be
invalidated. Read this story to get some insight.

http://www.lgu.com/pubs/cr37.htm

CALIFORNIA COURT INVALIDATES ASHTON-TATE'S COPYRIGHT ON dBASE PROGRAMS
January 1991

When Ashton-Tate filed its copyright infringement suit against Fox
Software and Santa Cruz Operation in November 1988, it could hardly
have imagined a worse outcome than it experienced two years later at
the hands of federal judge Terry Hatter. Ashton-Tate's suit alleged
that Fox and SCO's "FoxBASE" line of programs infringed Ashton-Tate's
copyrights in dBase II, dBase III, dBase III Plus and dBase IV. In
its complaint, Ashton-Tate claimed that the "organization, structure
and sequence" of the dBase programs reflected forms of
expression "original" to Ashton-Tate and that Fox and SCO had
illegally copied the "unique look and feel" of the programs,
including "commands, menus and text."

On December 11, 1990, Judge Hatter issued an order invalidating
Ashton-Tate's copyrights in its own dBase line of programs, the
foundation of its business, on the ground that Ashton-Tate had
knowingly deceived the United States Copyright Office when it filed
its copyright registrations for the dBase programs. The court stated
that although Ashton-Tate knew that its programs were derived from
JPLDIS, a public domain program developed by the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, it had "repeatedly failed" to disclose this fact to the
Copyright Office when it filed its copyright applications for the
programs.

The sanction imposed by the court on Ashton-Tate falls under the
quaintly (but descriptively) named legal doctrine of "unclean hands."
The defense of unclean hands may be raised by the defendant in a
copyright suit when the plaintiff has acted in a highly inequitable
manner with respect to the work in question (e.g., by procuring a
copyright through fraudulent representations made to the Copyright
Office). However, because the copyright owner's transgression must be
of serious proportions, this defense is seldom successful. Judge
Hatter's rare application of the rule indicates that he found Ashton-
Tate's failure to disclose the antecedents of its programs to have
been intentional, rather than negligent or inadvertent.
The consequence of the ruling, if it is upheld on the appeal which
Ashton-Tate is certain to seek, is to strip Ashton-Tate of its
copyright rights in dBase, and permit any company to copy the user
interface of the program.

TLB Comment: The outcome of the Ashton-Tate case shows that a company
may have more to lose than to gain when its sues a competitor for
proprietary rights violations. Although Ashton-Tate may have thought
it was stepping on an ant when it brought its claim against Fox and
SCO, it stumbled instead onto a landmine. Lotus took the same risk
when it brought suit against Paperback Software for infringement of 1-
2-3 (see TLB July 1990), knowing that the defendant would argue that
1-2-3 was derived from VisiCalc. Fortunately for Lotus, this defense
was emphatically rejected by the court.

One lesson to be learned from Ashton-Tate's fall is that before
commencing an aggressive campaign to protect proprietary rights, a
company must consider all possible counter-attacks, and carefully
weigh the benefit of its contemplated action, if successful, against
the risk that the defendant's counteroffensive will succeed, and the
consequences if it does.

The Ashton-Tate decision also is interesting, coming as it does on
the heels of the Lasercomb decision, where a court invalidated
Lasercomb's copyright under another branch of the "unclean hands"
doctrine. In this case, the court held that the owner had "misused"
its copyright by requiring a licensee to agree to a non-compete as a
condition to a copyright license (see TLB, October f1990). The
existence of this single clause in a license led the court to
invalidate the copyright. Although two events usually don't
constitute a trend, invalidation of a copyright is rare, and for two
courts to take such an action so close in time sends a strong message
to the software industry that the doctrine of unclean hands is here
to stay.

I would like to thank the tens of thousands of people from at least
132 countries all over the world who have offered to step forward
with contributions to this list.

All have not posted yet because of their concerns about getting
called at all hours of the night, getting obscenities screamed at
them, and then getting threatened with a lawsuit by the inventor.

As soon as certain protections are put in place, they will be posting
in at most a week or two.

Here are some examples of the emails:

"I sent the money and got nothing in return. I was given promise
after promise but never received anything."

"I installed the device exactly as in the plans and it did not work
at all. I made sure I followed the directions perfectly. Calls to the
inventor did not solve the problems."

"I emailed and asked for names of other kit buyers who were driving
modified cars and could never the company to give me even a single
name."

I would also like to thank the hundreds of university
professors who have emailed just in the last week since this group
was formed also wishing to contribute. All said they will be posting
next week. Thank you!

Here are some examples:

"We did experiments and the results do not match the claims. The
technology is old and well known. So are the limitations and
problems."

"Myself and many of my colleagues are insulted by the false
scientific claims being made. It causes great damage to the publics
perception of the legitimate research."


Look for thousands of emails being posted as soon as they are cleaned
up. Next week!!

As noted in the latest docket info below, the case has been assigned
to the Honorable Judge Ronald N. Boyce. This is extremely bad news
for Pantone and extremely good news for everyone else.

2/9/01 Answer to Complaint by M. Del Christensen (hom)

2/9/01 Clerk's mailing of certificate of acknowledgment of
        alternative dispute resolution option. Mailed or faxed to
        plaintiff Geet Intl, plaintiff Paul Pantone, plaintiff
        Molley Pantone, defendant M. Del Christensen (hom)

2/12/01 Order of Reference pursuant to 636(b)(1)(B) signed by Dee
         Benson 2/12/01. Mag directed to handle case up to and incl
         the R&R on any dispositive matters. cc:attys (kam)

2/13/01 Case referred to Judge Ronald N. Boyce  cc: atty (kam)


We need to give our thanks to Judge Dee Benson for assigning the case
to Judge Boyce. He is a very strict, conservative, no-nonsense jurist
who authored the Utah Prosecutor Handbook and is co-author of
Criminal Law and Criminal Law and Procedure.  I believe Judge Benson,
after reviewing the Christensen counter-suit filing, carefully chose
Judge Boyce to handle this case. To give you an idea of his opinions
regarding the sanctity and honor due the marriage covenant, read the
following AP Newswire:

Associated Press
JUDGE SAYS UTAH HAS RIGHT TO BAN ADULTERY

Adultery is not a victimless crime and
Utah has a right to ban it under an 1887
law that makes marital infidelity a
misdemeanor offense, a federal magistrate
says.

Adultery can bring disease, destruction
of the family, the birth of unwanted children
and state child support. ``The results can
be tragic and the social costs may impact
innocent children and relatives,'' U.S.
Magistrate Ronald Boyce wrote.

``That adultery may occur with some
frequency is no justification for a
constitutional restriction on the
criminalization of adultery any more than
on embezzlement or numerous other
violations of trust which frequently occur,''
he wrote.

Boyce's 52-page recommendation can
be accepted or rejected by U.S. District
Judge David Sam, but Boyce's reports are
almost always adopted by Utah's federal
judges.

The report was prompted by a case
involving West Valley City Police Sgt.
Gary Oliverson, who has spent six years
trying to overturn Utah laws banning
sodomy, fornication and adultery.

Oliverson was accused of violating
those laws by West Valley City and the
state police academy in 1986 after it was
discovered he had sex with at least two
women he met through the
police-sponsored Explorer Post program.
The program was intended to aid in the
development of young people, Boyce said
in his ruling.

Oliverson and other officers in the
department had sex with a 17-year-old
and two women, ages 18 and 20. The city
and the academy disciplined Oliverson for
violating state laws and exhibiting moral
turpitude.

Although the law against adultery is
constitutional, it is rarely used, said Salt
Lake County Attorney David Yocom.

``I don't know of anyone who has been
charged outright with adultery, but I know
of a few people who pleaded to it as a
plea bargain when a more serious sexual
offense was charged,'' Yocom said.

Boyce rejected Oliverson's claim that
the law violated his right to free speech and
privacy.

Extramarital sexual relations are not
within the privacy rights spelled out by the
Constitution. Other courts have ruled that
extramarital sexual activity such as
polygamy, child sexual abuse and
homosexual sodomy are not protected by
the right to privacy, Boyce wrote, and
neither is adultery.

Oliverson also said the law violated his
right to free speech, but Boyce refused to
equate sex with speech.

If Utahns want to legalize adultery,
Boyce wrote, they can vote to rescind the
law, which makes the offense a class A
misdemeanor.

Brian Barnard, Oliverson's attorney,
said Tuesday he wasn't surprised by the
ruling.

End of AP story


Judge Boyce also wrote law article opinions which argued for severely
limiting defendants to use the excuse of being intoxicated as a
mitigating factor in committing crimes. It does not take the IQ of a
genius to know what the Honorable Judge Boyce will think of Paul
Pantone when he hears the testimony and reads the police reports of
Pantone's spousal domestic violence and chronic drinking. Lawyers who
have argued before Judge Boyce know his tolerance for perjury is
ZERO! He is a con man's worst nightmare but is also the best friend
of an honest man.

Rejoice good people!

Thanks Chad!  You're the best.

Well, I think it's time to build this list even bigger that the last
one.  I can submit this list's URL to over 386,000 search engines and
directories using this handy-dandy submitter program.  Do we have a
Web site to support the list?  The "GREED Bullsheet", perhaps?  I can
host a site on my server for free (no annoying pop-ups) if someone
wants to come up with a name and chip in a few bucks for the domain
name.  They are only $9.95 at www.gkg.net.

Anyway, if someone will pay for the domain name, I will host the site
on my server.  If someone here wants to design a site themselves, I
can just set up the account so you have FTP access to it.  Once the
site is set up, perhaps Chad can post a link to it at the bottom of
every post made to the list so it gets traffic and so that people
don't have to search the archives to get the whole Paul Pantone
story.

I was going to do all this and more, much sooner, but Mike Holler
asked me not to attack Paul like that.  Instead, he encouraged me to
find ways to support the distributors, which, at the time, I thought
was the best use of my time.  Yet, I think he may also have just been
partly protecting his own butt, as Paul has definitely been after him
for some reason.  I can't blame Mike, though.  He's been through hell
and high water with Paul and just wants Paul completely out of his
life.

I think word needs to continue to get out about how Paul has hurt so
many people.  So, keep up the good work, all.  I love you people.

Regards,
Peter

Hi Paul,
      Sorry I have been gone so long. I have been very intent on
teaching my students how an engine really works. Like the fact that
the proper fuel mixture is 14.7 (air) to 1 (fuel). I think that the
reason the geet carb and other vapor carbs may not work properly is
because they run so lean any original performance is unatainable. I
am not an expert on the subject but I think if you have been working
on this project for 21 years, of course all the time helping
humanity, it might be time to look for another line of work. Of
course you may have different opinions but this is my story and I am
sticking to it.
      By the way, if anyone needs an ASE Master Certified Technician
and Texas State Certified Teacher for court purposes I am available.
Also, Paul told me I was off of the lawsuit. As to this date I still
see my name on www.geet.com. The truth must prevail!!! By the way
Paul, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ to do no harm. No need
to thank me for the blessing. My address is listed below.

Here are messages from Paul about my coming to test drive the Metro.

One message I lack that was lost with the old geet group is the one where Paul told me to tell everything I saw when I went to do the test. If anyone has that message, I would appreciate a copy.

Dear Jeremiah,

I, Paul Pantone, would like to invite YOU, to Salt Lake City.  I would like
to show you how to follow instructions. You sound like some of my old
employees, that when it worked perfect, lets change it.  If the common
"vortex-carb" persons will accept your word, then I will agree to giving you
proof, but YOU DON"T OWN IT, I will not give out my technology, unless it is
to benefit ALL of mankind.

Hello Bob,

Thanks for keeping me and the list informed of the changes taking place at
GEET. I appreciate it.

The only thing that I may want from GEET is a refund on the plans I bought.
It has been fun experimenting with GEET and I learned a lot, even though the
results have not been what was hoped for.

I wish you the best as you help get things straightened out there.

Jeremiah

*************
Jeremiah,
Not to insult YOU as others have done to me, but if you can't afford the
offer I can accomodate you the proof.  I will find a dealer in Salt Lake
that will supply an identical car, and we will get it State of Utah
analysed.  Then you may assist, at no charge to verify the modification, and
YOU do the test drive, with cameras going.  Then you tell the audience what
you saw, with witnesses.  Not under the conditions that you can't keep your
mouth shut will I disclose all of my knowledge.  You are one who has boasted
that you have had limited success, yet you are also one to ask for a full
refund.  If I get what I paid for I don't complain, and what you have
publicly stated is not "normally" possible.  I rest my case.
Sincerely, GOD is my witness

Dear Paul,

Thanks for the invitation!!

There are some things to consider about this offer I think.

I currently am in a financial tight spot where I cannot afford to purchase
your products. So any training you give me must be free of charge or very
close to it.

I do agree with you that people on the geet-vortex-carb list and even other
places trust me a lot. So much that, your company is possibly endangered by
my having a bad report about your products.

100 MPG is a magic number, I think. You advertise this mileage figure and
people notice.

I could probably benefit from a lesson in following directions.

I think that if you prove to me that GEET works and is for real that it will
help your company's and your own reputation considerably since I have the
amount of influence that I do. I think that probably the VERY BEST proof you
could give me and everyone else is to make my Metro go more than 100 miles
to the gallon.

I understand that I am not to release details of how success is achieved
with your products to people that do not own plans or your fuel processor
unit. However, I may slip sometime, though I do not want to, and this is a
risk you take.

At present I have no desire to steal anything from you. I only would like to
use the technology for my personal vehicle and engines. I do not wish to
sell GEET carbs to anyone, really. I would rather do other things for an
income.

You realize that I am intending to be as honest as possible in reporting my
findings with your products.

To conclude, if you think that it is worth a small investment of your time
and money to produce advertising that people trust, I will do my best to
co-operate and give you a chance to prove your products work. If you do
prove they work to me and all who hear from me about it, I am sure you can
imagine the amount of interest and sales you may reap.

I would be able to be there about the second week of August, though another
time may be able to be arranged.

Jeremiah

Hey J,
I think I can work this out, but give me about one week to get my stuff from
my ranch and relocated to Utah, and locate a GEO? what year what model?  And
I don't expect you to walk on water or keep your lips totally locked, but
teh exacting details are confidential, OK.

Paul,

Sounds like a deal. This way if I ever can afford to work more on my car
then I can eventually do what it takes to make it work.

As for wanting my money back, I DO have a valid reason right now to ask for
it, because the PRIMARY reason I bought the plans was to get more than 100
MPG. It is true that I have achieved results that are not normally possible,
BUT I have not acheived the goal, and what was claimed for the plans.

As soon as I see proof (100 MPG in a Metro) I will not have a reason to ask
for my money back. THEN what I will want is all necessary info to make mine
do 100 MPG. As for not being able to keep my mouth shut, you know very well
that almost eveyone has that problem to some degree, and if you tell anyone
what you want kept secret, you still take a risk. So I am just stating that
it is no different with me.  I am human too.

Dear Paul,

The Metro I have is a 1993 XFI model, the absolute cheapest one. I paid
$375.00 for it from a friend.

I personally think any 3 cylinder, 5 speed, 3 door Metro 1989-1994 will be a
valid test subject. Anything after 1994 is going to cost a lot more and is
heavier so will get less MPG.

If you are lucky you will find one for about $500 but most go for around
$1200-2000 depending on condition and options.

With slight body damage they are very inexpensive, as well as if you buy
directly from an owner.

If you are able to make this work I will do my best to help get it
documented and published and you can get some business from it. We need real
solid evidence and witnesses that are well known. I would like if Eric Krieg
could be a witness or at least some of his friends. If he sees it and
realizes that it works, it will change how the public views GEET, and for
the better, I think.

Jeremiah

Here is something I posted to geet-vortex-carb group before it was deleted. I have pictures to go along with the story if anyone needs them. Poor quality jpegs but they do show Paul's 100 mpg Metro attempt. I also have some of the emails that Paul and I exchanged before I went to test drive the Metro. If you want all this posted just let me know and I will.

******************************************

On the latest GEET sheet it has a picture of GEET's Geo Metro and says

"George Gladic at the Metro. This was the prototype that the GEET mutiny

started over."

I have to wonder if I had a hand in this GEET mutiny... with all that

happened on the list here after I went and actually saw this Metro for

myself. As I remember it, I was going to test drive this car that day, to

prove that 100 miles per gallon was possible with GEET and that I did not

have a good reason to ask for money back for the $650.00 GEET plans that Dad

had paid for for me. Just for the record, here is the report I gave that

day:

I would apologize to Paul for causing him so much trouble, but it seems to

me that I did the right thing. I tried to help others out by showing that

GEET really worked. I hoped that the inventor himself would be able to meet

the 100 miles per gallon challenge.

He couldn't...

> COUNTER CLAIM
> Cross-Complainant M. Del Christensen (Christensen), complains
against plaintiff and each of them as follows:
> BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
> 1. In October 1999, Christensen received information in regards to
the development of an energy saving technology, to which cross-
complainant investigated and met with cross-defendant Paul Pantone
(Pantone).  Christensen was allowed to observe some of the devises
created under the direction of Pantone at the then business location
for GEET Management LLC located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
> 2. Christensen expressed an interest in the technology, and Pantone
requested that Christensen prepare prototype "reaction chambers"
based on specifications provided by Pantone. Christensen
>  3.  Christensen quoted a price to prepare said prototypes for
$1,500.00, which amount was agreed to be acceptable by Pantone.
>  4.  Within 2 weeks of this agreement, on or about the end of
October, Christensen delivered 7 prototype reaction chambers, to
Pantone, which Pantone accepted as satisfactory.  Pantone was only
able to pay $1,000.00 but promised the remainder shortly.
>  5.  Pantone was satisfied with the product, so much so that
Pantone ordered an additional 500 of the units, to be at various
sizes, stating that Pantone needed these to sell at a show in Idaho
that Pantone was to attend. Pantone agreed to an estimated price of
$14,000.00
>  6.  Within 5 weeks of receiving this order, and within the time
frame as required by Pantone, Christensen delivered the 500 units to
Pantone, and provided an invoice for $14,000.00.
>  7.  Pantone had some concerns over some of the units provided, so
Christensen had some of his employees of his make the necessary
revisions, and produced the units to Pantone's satisfaction.
>  8.  These prototypes were specially manufactured, to the
specifications provided by Pantone, and were not useable in any other
application except as to meet Pantone's purposes.
>  9.  Pantone did not have the storage facilities at his residence,
to store all units provided by Christensen.  Pantone took
approximately 230 of the units and requested that Christensen store
the remainder, until Pantone returned from the Idaho show.
>  10.  Pantone promised to pay for the production in full upon his
return from Idaho, claiming that he would be able to sell or take
orders at the show sufficient to pay for the manufactured units.
>  11.  Upon Pantone's return, Pantone explained that he was only
able to sell 4 or 5 of the units, and tried to return them to
Christensen.  Christensen had no use for the units, but offered to
store them until Pantone was able to sell them.
>  12. Commencing in February, 2000, Pantone explained that his
company was undergoing some management changes, and that his wife
Molley had just left him, which made it difficult to concentrate on
his work. Pantone requested that Christensen have patience and
continue to work with Pantone, and that Christensen would be more
then compensated as soon as these problems were resolved.
>  13.  Pantone requested that Christensen continue to store the
reaction chambers all ready manufactured, but also requested other
product and asked that Christensen ship them to designated customers
as provided by Pantone. These products were to be shipped under the
GEET logo, and  Christensen would be paid upon receipt of funds.
>  14.  Christensen complied with Pantone's request, providing
Pantone with invoices for all product produced and shipped.
>  15.  Shortly thereafter Pantone moved his operations to Colorado
to attempt to reconcile with his wife.  Pantone requested that
Christensen continue to manufacture and ship product as ordered.
>  16.  Christensen produced and shipped approximately $50,000.00 in
product of which $15,000.00 has been received.
>  17.  In May of 2000, Christensen received a telephone call from
Pantone claiming that he was at the Exotic Research Conference being
held in Arizona. Pantone explained that the promoter of the
conference had disappeared and was not honoring his guarantee to make
payment to the Hotel causing Pantone and his group to be locked out
of their Hotel rooms and the Exhibit Hall.
>  18.  Pantone requested that Christensen let Pantone use his credit
card in order to get his belongings, and promised repayment within 3
days, and Christensen agreed.
>  19.  Pantone used Christensen's credit card, taking care of his
bill, to which Christensen agreed to, but then Pantone also used the
credit card to pay the bills of several others that were in the same
situation at the conference, but without the permission of
Christensen.
>  20.  Pantone placed about $5,000.00 on the credit card, but has
yet to reimburse Christensen for that amount.
>  21.  During the summer of 2000, Christensen received a telephone
call from Pantone claiming that he was in jail again, in Colorado,
for violating a court order relating to domestic violence charges,
and that he needed assistance in posting the bail of $1,000.00.
>  22.  Pantone promised that if Christensen would post the bail it
would be paid back within 1 week.
>  23.  Christensen used one of his credit cards, and had the bail
posted, but has not been reimbursed.
>  24. A few weeks later, Christensen received another similar
telephone call, Pantone was again in jail, for violating a court
order and needed bail posted in the amount of $1,500.00, and would
reimburse Christensen as soon as possible.
>  25.  Christensen again posted bail, but has not been reimbursed.
>  26.  A few weeks after being arrested, Pantone again contacts
Christensen by way of telephone, and requests that Christensen assist
him to getting out of Colorado, as Pantone claimed he was allowed to
leave the state, but was afraid that the authorities were after him,
and needed to get away. Pantone promised to reimburse Christensen for
all costs incurred to get him out of Colorado.
>  27.  Christensen made the necessary arrangements, renting a moving
van, obtaining and paying the wages of two men to drive to Pantone's
location and return him to Salt Lake. Christensen incurred a cost in
excess of $2,000.00 which remains unpaid.
>  28.  Upon Pantone's return to Utah, Pantone approached Christensen
and offered Christensen the GEET distributorship for Utah as partial
compensation for Christensen's assistance.
>  29.  Christensen subsequently discovered that Pantone had all
ready sold the distributorship rights to Utah to 2 other individuals
whose distributorship rights were never taken away.
>  30.  When Pantone returned he approached Christensen and produced
information that Pantone had received requests from over 250
individuals that wanted training in the GEET technology, and that he
had several that were ready to start immediately, at a suggested
training price of $1,500.00.
>  31.  Pantone suggested that Christensen could run the school to be
called GEET International Institute, and that Christensen would be
reimbursed out of the tuition, so long as a portion would go to
Pantone.  The parties agreed to initially charge $1,200.00 as the
tuition.
>  32.  Pantone stated that he had confirmation of 30 students, but
needed the school ready by August 7, 2000.
>  33. Christensen borrowed the funds necessary to obtain a suitable
place for the school, to obtain the necessary school supplies and
have the needed support staff in order to run the school. Christensen
incurred a debt of approximately $26,000.00 to have the school ready
by August 7, 2000 as demanded by Pantone.
>  34.  On August 7, 2000, no student showed up.
>  35.  Since that date, the GEET International Institute has had 12
students.
>  36.  Of these 12 students only 3 paid tuition, 8 of the remainder
were students that agreed to attend the school as a set off for
monies previously given to Pantone for product that was not received.
>  37. The school was shut down in December 2000, as there were no
students, no monies were raised to support the school, and the
promises of students did not materialize.
> 38.  As part of the instruction, it was the intent to demonstrate
to the students how the GEET technology worked.  Christensen on
several occasions requested that Pantone come to the school to
implement the technology on some of the engines there that would meet
the claims as made by Pantone.
> 39. A demo engine was provided, but did not burn all the fuel as
promised, likewise a genset was provided, but this was not able to
run at full power.
> 40. When asked to remedy the problem, Pantone explained that it had
been sabotaged by previous employees, and recommended that
Christensen make the repairs.
> 41.  While at the school. Pantone made several purchases on behalf
of the school that were charged to Christensen.  These included
without limitation costs for parts and equipment, acquired under the
guise of testing the technology, but did not produce anything
noteworthy.
> 42.  Christensen subsequently was introduced to other individuals
who were in the process of developing energy reduction processes that
were significantly different that that of Pantone, and appears to
have a future. Christensen is presently working with this group.
> 43.  Christensen has since entered into a business relationship
with these other individuals, but has not made any development on the
ineffective GEET technology.

Lessons for company bashing;

Lesson 1: Remember, BASHERS NEVER Bash A BAD Person or Company.
Check the websites for People or companies with no potential. They never
have
any Bashers. Bashers only go after People or companies that are moving up or
have excellent potential to do so. Bashers work to bring the person or
company values down to either increase their position at the expense of
others or help others to steal the identity or company.  Sometimes they bash
because they are jealous of the other persons success.

COUNTER CLAIM
Cross-Complainant M. Del Christensen (Christensen), complains against plaintiff and each of them as follows:
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
1. In October 1999, Christensen received information in regards to the development of an energy saving technology, to which cross-complainant investigated and met with cross-defendant Paul Pantone (Pantone).  Christensen was allowed to observe some of the devises created under the direction of Pantone at the then business location for GEET Management LLC located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
2. Christensen expressed an interest in the technology, and Pantone requested that Christensen prepare prototype "reaction chambers" based on specifications provided by Pantone. Christensen
 3.  Christensen quoted a price to prepare said prototypes for $1,500.00, which amount was agreed to be acceptable by Pantone.
 4.  Within 2 weeks of this agreement, on or about the end of October, Christensen delivered 7 prototype reaction chambers, to Pantone, which Pantone accepted as satisfactory.  Pantone was only able to pay $1,000.00 but promised the remainder shortly.
 5.  Pantone was satisfied with the product, so much so that Pantone ordered an additional 500 of the units, to be at various sizes, stating that Pantone needed these to sell at a show in Idaho that Pantone was to attend. Pantone agreed to an estimated price of $14,000.00
 6.  Within 5 weeks of receiving this order, and within the time frame as required by Pantone, Christensen delivered the 500 units to Pantone, and provided an invoice for $14,000.00.
 7.  Pantone had some concerns over some of the units provided, so Christensen had some of his employees of his make the necessary revisions, and produced the units to Pantone's satisfaction.
 8.  These prototypes were specially manufactured, to the specifications provided by Pantone, and were not useable in any other application except as to meet Pantone's purposes.
 9.  Pantone did not have the storage facilities at his residence, to store all units provided by Christensen.  Pantone took approximately 230 of the units and requested that Christensen store the remainder, until Pantone returned from the Idaho show.
 10.  Pantone promised to pay for the production in full upon his return from Idaho, claiming that he would be able to sell or take orders at the show sufficient to pay for the manufactured units.
 11.  Upon Pantone's return, Pantone explained that he was only able to sell 4 or 5 of the units, and tried to return them to Christensen.  Christensen had no use for the units, but offered to store them until Pantone was able to sell them. 
 12. Commencing in February, 2000, Pantone explained that his company was undergoing some management changes, and that his wife Molley had just left him, which made it difficult to concentrate on his work. Pantone requested that Christensen have patience and continue to work with Pantone, and that Christensen would be more then compensated as soon as these problems were resolved.
 13.  Pantone requested that Christensen continue to store the reaction chambers all ready manufactured, but also requested other product and asked that Christensen ship them to designated customers as provided by Pantone. These products were to be shipped under the GEET logo, and  Christensen would be paid upon receipt of funds.
 14.  Christensen complied with Pantone's request, providing Pantone with invoices for all product produced and shipped.
 15.  Shortly thereafter Pantone moved his operations to Colorado to attempt to reconcile with his wife.  Pantone requested that Christensen continue to manufacture and ship product as ordered.
 16.  Christensen produced and shipped approximately $50,000.00 in product of which $15,000.00 has been received.
 17.  In May of 2000, Christensen received a telephone call from Pantone claiming that he was at the Exotic Research Conference being held in Arizona. Pantone explained that the promoter of the conference had disappeared and was not honoring his guarantee to make payment to the Hotel causing Pantone and his group to be locked out of their Hotel rooms and the Exhibit Hall.
 18.  Pantone requested that Christensen let Pantone use his credit card in order to get his belongings, and promised repayment within 3 days, and Christensen agreed.
 19.  Pantone used Christensen's credit card, taking care of his bill, to which Christensen agreed to, but then Pantone also used the credit card to pay the bills of several others that were in the same situation at the conference, but without the permission of Christensen.
 20.  Pantone placed about $5,000.00 on the credit card, but has yet to reimburse Christensen for that amount.
 21.  During the summer of 2000, Christensen received a telephone call from Pantone claiming that he was in jail again, in Colorado, for violating a court order relating to domestic violence charges, and that he needed assistance in posting the bail of $1,000.00.
 22.  Pantone promised that if Christensen would post the bail it would be paid back within 1 week.
 23.  Christensen used one of his credit cards, and had the bail posted, but has not been reimbursed.
 24. A few weeks later, Christensen received another similar telephone call, Pantone was again in jail, for violating a court order and needed bail posted in the amount of $1,500.00, and would reimburse Christensen as soon as possible.
 25.  Christensen again posted bail, but has not been reimbursed.
 26.  A few weeks after being arrested, Pantone again contacts Christensen by way of telephone, and requests that Christensen assist him to getting out of Colorado, as Pantone claimed he was allowed to leave the state, but was afraid that the authorities were after him, and needed to get away. Pantone promised to reimburse Christensen for all costs incurred to get him out of Colorado.
 27.  Christensen made the necessary arrangements, renting a moving van, obtaining and paying the wages of two men to drive to Pantone's location and return him to Salt Lake. Christensen incurred a cost in excess of $2,000.00 which remains unpaid.
 28.  Upon Pantone's return to Utah, Pantone approached Christensen and offered Christensen the GEET distributorship for Utah as partial compensation for Christensen's assistance.
 29.  Christensen subsequently discovered that Pantone had all ready sold the distributorship rights to Utah to 2 other individuals whose distributorship rights were never taken away.
 30.  When Pantone returned he approached Christensen and produced information that Pantone had received requests from over 250 individuals that wanted training in the GEET technology, and that he had several that were ready to start immediately, at a suggested training price of $1,500.00.
 31.  Pantone suggested that Christensen could run the school to be called GEET International Institute, and that Christensen would be reimbursed out of the tuition, so long as a portion would go to Pantone.  The parties agreed to initially charge $1,200.00 as the tuition.
 32.  Pantone stated that he had confirmation of 30 students, but needed the school ready by August 7, 2000.
 33. Christensen borrowed the funds necessary to obtain a suitable place for the school, to obtain the necessary school supplies and have the needed support staff in order to run the school. Christensen incurred a debt of approximately $26,000.00 to have the school ready by August 7, 2000 as demanded by Pantone.
 34.  On August 7, 2000, no student showed up.
 35.  Since that date, the GEET International Institute has had 12 students.
 36.  Of these 12 students only 3 paid tuition, 8 of the remainder were students that agreed to attend the school as a set off for monies previously given to Pantone for product that was not received.
 37. The school was shut down in December 2000, as there were no students, no monies were raised to support the school, and the promises of students did not materialize.
38.  As part of the instruction, it was the intent to demonstrate to the students how the GEET technology worked.  Christensen on several occasions requested that Pantone come to the school to implement the technology on some of the engines there that would meet the claims as made by Pantone.
39. A demo engine was provided, but did not burn all the fuel as promised, likewise a genset was provided, but this was not able to run at full power.
40. When asked to remedy the problem, Pantone explained that it had been sabotaged by previous employees, and recommended that Christensen make the repairs. 
41.  While at the school. Pantone made several purchases on behalf of the school that were charged to Christensen.  These included without limitation costs for parts and equipment, acquired under the guise of testing the technology, but did not produce anything noteworthy.
42.  Christensen subsequently was introduced to other individuals who were in the process of developing energy reduction processes that were significantly different that that of Pantone, and appears to have a future. Christensen is presently working with this group.   
43.  Christensen has since entered into a business relationship with these other individuals, but has not made any development on the ineffective GEET technology.

Dear Mr. Pantone,

I went to www.geet.com and clicked on the letters link and saw no copy of
the Federal Filing.  Perhaps I overlooked it.  Can you send me the fully
qualified URL to this page for our review?

We are a ethical organization and in no way endorse "slanderous, hate
crimes, defamation of character" of ANY individual or organization; however,
Mr. Colvin has the right to choose what information he shares on his web
page without ever having to consult with Friendly Network, so long as it is
not pornographic in nature.  Furthermore, Friendly Network took no part in
the creation of any of these pages and have provided no such information to
our subscriber.

I have no way of knowing what is truth or fact in this situation; this is a
conflict between your organization and Mr. Colvin.  We have sent Mr. Colvin
an e-mail encouraging him to resolve this issue with you; however, as we
have written to you, our subscribers are free to post any information they
wish under their web space so long as it is not pornographic in nature.
Friendly Network is not responsible for the data posted by our subscribers.
If there is a court order, that will of course override our agreement with
our subscriber.  Anything less than that, then we must honor our agreement
with Mr. Colvin.
