"This lawsuit is a direct result to an improperly written news article and hastily filed and then withdrawn landlord lawsuit. Our company, which has been regularly inconvenienced during the past year of landlord construction, had not missed its monthly rents for over 6 years of our lease. That one day landlord lawsuit was mean spirited and untruthful, but it was an attempt to ingratiate the landlord with interfering and meddling SEC agents," stated Richard A. Altomare, Chairman and CEO of Universal Express, Inc.
"The SEC overstepped once again its role by attempting to interfere with the Company's business activities, as it has many times in the past. The Company's whistle blower posture on the national scandal of naked shorting seems to be causing the SEC undo concern," stated Mr. Chris Gunderson, Universal Express General Counsel.
"Universal Express is involved in a historical Naked Short Selling constitutional legal issue against the SEC. Any further SEC corporate interference will be met rigorously and presented to the appellate court, as well as the United States Court of Claims," concluded Mr. Gunderson.
"Universal Express has not interfered in the hasty departures, early retirements and denials of the naked shorting scandal by SEC employees during our courageous stand against the SEC. The SEC has repeatedly attempted to interfere with acquisitions and the day to day operation of our Company. This recent tortuous interference with our landlord speaks volumes regarding the SEC's concerns at our obtaining our constitutionally guaranteed jury trial on naked shorting. Our immediate corporate efforts will concentrate on confronting the SEC's claims against our Company which are a smokescreen to the real issues of this case. We remain confident that an objective appellate court will allow the issue of naked short selling and the SEC's unchecked abuse of power to be tried by a Jury of American Citizens," concluded Mr. Altomare
