<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Matthew:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In case you aren't aware, let me fill you in. Joe
Baptista attempted to extort shares</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of stock in a company called UNIDT back in 2005 and
when they wouldn't give in to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>his extortion attempts, he launched a campaign of
slander and lies against the operators</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of that company. The German student is a
businessperson who is operating a business </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that is an affiliate of a company (INAIC - <A
href="http://www.inaic.com">www.inaic.com</A>) that is associated with
UNIDT</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the victim of this extortion attempt. Joe is using
this poor student as a pawn in his</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>insane vendetta against the operators of INAIC,
many of which were involved in the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>company UNIDT that was a victim of Joe.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Joe Baptista is a known internet predator who has a
long history of psychopathic behavior</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>on the internet, dating back to the days of the old
BBS systems. He started out by fax-bombing</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the Toronto police department in the early 90's and
it has continued on from there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He has been tossed out of almost all online forums
and organizations to which he once belonged,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>including the Top Level Domain Association lists. I
can speak from experience as I am a member</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of the TLDA Board of Directors and the former
chairperson of that same board.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The "story" that Joe has posted on his website
regarding the student at Gymnasium Querfurt</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is a fabrication entirely of Joe's making. It is
written by him to sound as if it is from an</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>authoritative journalistic source, but is actually
entirely created by him as part of a carefully</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>crafted campaign of slander to discredit the people
associated with the former UNIDT who would</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>not give in to his extortion attempts. He is now
dragging this student through the mud in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>his slander attempts, not caring that he is an
innocent bystander who did nothing to Joe</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and did not even know of him prior to this
time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Joe misrepresented himself to the principal of
Gymnasium Querfurt and make false</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>accusations that the student was involved in some
wrong-doing. As he often does, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Joe takes on an air of authority, authority that he
DOES NOT POSSES AND NEVER<BR>DID POSSES, in an attempt to scare people into
believing his lies. He managed</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to convince the principal to sanction this innocent
student for some nebulous </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"wrongdoing" on nothing more that Joe's word.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

various accounts of his exploits over the years:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Be careful of anything that Joe says since most of
it is false or misleading and is</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>nothing more than a furtherance of his attempts to
destroy the parties involved</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in UNIDT because they would not allow themselves to
be extorted.</FONT></DIV>

thanks for taking the time to verify this. Unfortunately you didn't do a
good job of it. </BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV><BR>I'm not going to forward the email that I received to a public list,
that would be rather rude. I have to say that the advice "if you think
you have been defrauded go to the (relevant) police" isn't particularly
startling, nor is it indicative that the MEP or their office consider that
there has actually been a fraud. I'll stick to my original statement
that I know nothing about the facts of the case.<BR><BR></DIV>
