 REVERSE FRAUD
Christian Patriot radio program in February, 1996. The parties
referenced are attorneys Erik Moebius (E) and David Parker (D), and radio
talk show hosts Michael Ellis (M) and Alfred Adask (A).
TAPE 1 SIDE 2 - Erik Moebius, etc.
"That you have integrity internal integrity........
but we've most noticed that most
of the folks in the bar that are not sole
practitioners seem to have a non-motivation
to follow truth or follow their noses.
We would like to work or join forces
with the sole practitioners. Perhaps the idea
has come to pass that maybe we could
form an association with people that are out
here on our own and sole practitioners
like yourself to maybe get together and
expose this type of fraud.
