Louisiana A.G. charges bank tied to Newark telecom with fraud

The corporation charged is Liberty Bank, FSB.

Louisiana's attorney general has filed criminal charges against an
Iowa bank, the first criminal action tied to scandal-plagued
NorVergence, a Newark-based telecommunications company that went out
of business four years ago.
In a case filed in Caddo Parish District Court in Shreveport,
Assistant Attorney General James Caldwell charged Iowa-based Liberty
Bank of defrauding investors and filing false reports on its
activities as part of a telemarketing scheme by NorVergence that cost
small business owners throughout the nation millions of dollars.
One complaint from one individual who got nothing for his $120,000
investment was enough to get his office involved, Campbell said
The investigation is continuing and additional criminal charges will
likely be filed, Caldwell said by phone. "We're getting ready to roll."
He encouraged anyone who dealt with Liberty or other institutions –
"anybody who has a story to share about their experiences" – to
contact his office at (225) 326-6120 or by email at agbuddycaldwell.com.
"We would like to talk with them," Caldwell said. » more
Criminal charges filed in telecom case
Tuesday, September 23, 2008 BY GREG SAITZ, Star-Ledger Staff
The attorney general in Louisiana is accusing an Iowa bank of theft
in what appears to be the first criminal charges tied to a failed
Newark telecommunications firm alleged to have bilked thousands of
small businesses.
Liberty Bank of West Des Moines also has been charged with filing a
false public record related to its dealings with NorVergence. The New
Jersey company promised small businesses, nonprofits and religious
groups low rates on telephone, cellular and internet services...
"The bank knew what was going on," Caldwell said yesterday. "They
knew what NorVergence was doing and you can't intentionally stick
your head in the sand and say you didn't know." » more

"An arraignment today in Caddo District Court of a Missouri-based
bank will have far-reaching consequences across the state and nation,
involving a number of small business owners that have been defrauded
out of thousands or perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars,
Attorney General James D. "Buddy" Caldwell said.
"The Louisiana attorney general's office is the first to file
criminal charges against Liberty Bank in a reported lease flipping
scam that reaches to New Jersey and points in between and could total
$200 million to $300 million in losses... » more |

Kicking lease company butt...by Scott
Mackenzie
One of the early and most important battles in the Norvergence
scam has been the issue of prior filed litigation in distant
forums.
I have now fought my second successful battle against a lease
company that had filed suit in Ohio prior to my filing suit here
in Texas. In both cases the opposing lease firm has filed a
Motion to Stay or a Motion to Abate my Texas lawsuit in favor of
their earlier filed out-of-state suit.
As a general rule, a court will honor the prior filed litigation
and stay or abate a subsequent filed action. Nothing about
Norvergence adheres to the general rule. Both attempts by
opposition to halt our Texas proceedings have failed.
The floating forum selection clause (the portion of the
Norvergence rental agreement which purports to allow suit in the
state of the assignee) is a done deal in Texas. We have beat it
at the trial court and at the appellate court and now even in
the face of prior filed litigation.
Texans take note that our courts are being proactive in this
battle. Bring the fight home to Texas where you have a chance a
a fair shake. Those still making payment should stop paying and
start fighting. Those who are stuck fighting in a distant forum
should make their attorney aware of the developments here in
Texas. Those already in the fight in Texas, contact me so we can
share pleadings, discovery and other useful materials.
Good luck to all those fighting the Norvergence injustice. Do
not hesitate to contact me at
