That the Government of 5 the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (Republica de Venezuela) 6 extends and grants full ownership to Conversion Solution, Inc., 7 125 Tow Park, Suite 300, Kennesaw, Georgia, 30144, ofthe 8 following Global Bonds here below stated. 9 Q. And, then, of course below that, is there details provided as 10 to the specific bond? 11 A. Yes. 12 Q. With a code known as a CUSIP; is that right? 13 A. That's correct. 14 Q. Do you know what that is? 15 A. I don't recall. I did look it up during the time I was doing 16 the audit, but I can't tell you right now what that stands for. 17 Q. And amount of value of half - is that half a billion 18 dollars? 19 A. Yes. 20 Q. With 13.625 percent fixed semiannually; is that right? 21 A. That's correct. 22 Q. What's /our understanding of 13.625 percent semiannually? 23 A. That means that interest on that bond will be paid out twice 24 a year. 25 Q. So, twice a year 13 percent or half of that? Let me maybe ELISE SMITH EVANS, RMR, CRR 600 1 clarify. 13.625, did you understand, was that the annual 2 interest rate? 3 A. I don't recall. 4 Q. Okay. Okay.. But some amount would be paid every six months? 5 A. Yes. 6 Q. Okay, in the bottom ofthe page, is there an individual 7 who's the individual whose name is listed on the right-hand side 8 of the page for the Banco Central de Venezuela? 9 A. Looks like a Eddy Reyes Torres. 10 Q. And what's - what's his position? 11 A. A Second Vice President at the Bank Central of Venezuela. 12 Q. Okay. And is there a date on this document? 13 A.. The date right there says the certificate is issued this day 14 March 15th of 2006. 15 Q. Okay. And the other individual on the page, I'm not even 16 going to try to pronounce the name, but what's the title, the 17 person's title? 18 A. Treasury Manager. 19 Q. Okay. Let me ask you 20 MR. ANAND: Ms. Goldring, can we turn to the next page? 21 Q. (BY MR. ANAND): So, that document we just looked at was 22 called Certificate of Ownership. This one's entitled 23 Declaration. Did you have an understanding ofthe difference 24 between these documents? 25 A. I don't recall. ELISE SMITH EVANS, RMR, CRR 9
5 the same thing? 6 MS. GOL DRING: We don't have a 346. 7 MR. HARRIS: Electronically you don't have a 346? 8 MS. GOLDRING: No, sir. 9 MR. HARRIS: Exhibit 302, please, ma'am. Next tab. 10 Item 1, Deposit 11 Q. (BY MR. HARRIS); Mr. Benson, I believe you stated earlier 12 that when being questioned by the Government, that you didn't 13 understand why someone ~ was the words you didn't understand why 14 someone could obtain a bond ofthis type without paying for it or 15 how they could obtain it without paying for it? 16 A. I thought that was pretty unusual. 17 Q. Could you please read item 1? 18 A. Deposit. Conversion Solutions, Inc., agrees to accept, and 19 the Agreement Holder agrees to pay or cause to be paid to 20 Conversion Solutions, Inc., for value on the effective day 21 date, the net deposit (as specified in the Annex). All funds 22 received by Conversion Solutions, Inc., under this agreement 23 shall become the exclusive property of Conversion Solutions, 24 Inc., and remit ~ and remain a part of Conversion Solutions, 25 Inc.'s general account without any duty or requirement of ELISE SMITH EVANS, RMR, CRR 682 1 segregation or separate investment. This agreement shall become 2 effective only upon the receipt by Conversion Solutions, inc., or 3 its designee of the net deposit. 4 Q. As the auditor that audited this document, as the outside 5 independent auditor for Conversion Solutions, the publicly traded 6 company under CS ~ symbol CSHD, what does that mean to you? 7 A. I asked that question several times to - when I reviewed 8 this docunnent. I ' m sure 1 asked that question to Mr. Horton. I 9 was not quite sure what the net deposit meant. 10 MR. HARRIS: Can we go down to page 5, item 6, please? 11 Q. (BY MR. HARRIS): I believe we ~ you referred to this in 12 your notes, was brought up earlier, ofthe $400,000. Could you 13 please read the very first line? 14 A. Conversion Solution, Inc., shall pay upon receipt and 15 validation of the instruments by the banking institution; fees of 16 $400,000. 17 Q. You stated that the $400,000 wasn't paid and - in your audit 18 and whatever it was. What does that first line mean to you, sir? 19 A. it means that what ~ basically what it says, upon the 20 receipt of the validation of the instruments by the banking 21 institution, the fees should be ~ 400,000 be paid. 22 Q. So ~ 23 A. I think I'd take that document in total in terms of looking 24 at that is what the agreement holder ~ one ofthe things the 25 agreement holder was going to be doing is executing these ~ ELISE SMITH EVANS, RMR, CRR 683 1 getting these instruments out there, and upon that these fees 2 were going to be paid to that agreement holder. 3 Q. Does it not mean that once the instrument is receipt ~ 4 received and validated by the bank, the fees are due? 5 A. Yeah, I agree with that. I agree. 6 Q. Okay. 7 A. Yes. 8 Q. In your opinion as the auditor, did that happen? 9 A. I ' m not sure. ,n
10 Q. Did you ever see any documentation from a banl<ing institution 11 that liad received and validated that instrument? 12 A. No, I didn't. 13 Q. Okay. 14 MR. HARRIS: Gould we please go to Exhibit 341 now, 15 TB 259? Next tab. TB 259 at the bottom. Next tab. Please zoom 16 into item 6 . 17 Q. (BY MR. HARRIS): Is that your handwriting, sir? 18 A. No, it isn't. 19 Q. Do yoo know whose handwriting that is? You claim this was 20 your working document. 21 A. I believe that is Mr. Horton's handwriting. 22 Q. Okay. 23 MR. HARRIS: Please zoom out. 24 Q. (BY MR. HARRIS): 1 through 5 ofthis document, do you 25 recognize it? ELISE SMITH EVANS, RMR, CRR 684 1 MR. HARRIS: Could you please zoom in on 1 through 5? 2 MS. GOLDRING: I ' m sorry? 3 MR. HARRIS: Could you please zoom in on 1 through 5 at 4 the top of the page? 5 Q. (BY MR. HARRIS): Do you recognize this? 6 A. Oh, I recognize the document, but that document isn't a 7 document that I generated. 8 Q. Where did it come from? 9 A. Mr. Horton. 10 Q. This is Mr. Horton's notes of what needs to be? 11 A. Yes.. 12 Q. Okay. 13 MR. HARRIS: Exhibit 344, please. 14 Q. (BY MR. HARRIS): Do you recognize this document, sir? 15 A. Yes. 16 Q. What is this document? 17 A. Just questions that I posed that I wanted to have answered 18 about the bond verification. 19 Q. So, in other words, you asked who is the issuer, the ~ you 20 asked this of who? 21 A. Those were questions I was going to ask of Mr. Horton and 22 of ~ 23 Q. Conversions? 24 A. Conversions, yes. 25 Q. This is what you asked of us? ELISE SMITH EVANS, RMR, CRR 685 1 Did you receive - well, huh. I take it that you 2 received everything requested to satisfy your curiosity and the 3 requirements of the Public Accounting Oversight Board or you 4 wouldn't have signed the audited financials for the corporation? 5 A. The best of my knowledge, yes. 6 Q. Did you interview anyone in relationship to the bond outside 7 of the company? 8 A. No. 9 Q. Did you attempt to interview anyone? 10 A. I tried to make a phone call down to Venezuela, but I didn't 11 get through to anybody. I made one or two attempts and that was 12 IL 13 Q. Did you attempt or prepare a document of this type for the 14 UCC-1, also? You stated this is an internal working document.
TRULINCS
10 Q. Okay, So, the company acquired full ownership of Global 11 Bonds throygh the Republic of Venezuela on March 15th, 2006. Was 12 that your understanding? 13 A. Yes. 14 Q. And theprincipal amount of those bonds, 500,000,000, 15 interest rate of 13.6 percent, and certain codes identifying what 16 the bonds were, is that all your understanding? 17 A. That's correct. 18 Q. Okay. Wlnat is interest ~ what do you understand that to 19 mean? 20 A. That's th9 rate that's paid out on the bonds. If I was ~ 21 for instance, if 1 bought some bonds on the open market, there's 22 usually a coupon or interest rate on that bond. And that tells 23 me the interest that will be paid to me over certain periods of 24 time. 25 Q. Is that similar to like a CD at a bank? ELISE SMITH EVANS, RMR, CRR 597 1 A. CD at a bank, that's ~ that's pretty simplified version of 2 it. 3 Q. Okay. The next paragraph talks about the applicable 4 declaration ownership documentation specifies the transfer of 5 full ownership to the company. Do you see that? 6 A. Yes. 7 Q. What are you referring to, what documents are you referring 8 to there? 9 A.. There was some documents provided to me that ~ between 10 Conversion Solutions and Venezuela that purported to transfer the 11 ownership of the bonds from them to the company. 12 Q. And who gave you those documents? 13 A. Mr. Horton. 14 Q. Let me ask you to look at what's been marked for 15 identification purposes as Government's Exhibit No. 302, which 16 should be among the pile of stuff you have. Do you see that? 17 A. Yes. 18 Q. And let me ask you to look through it. My question will be 19 whether you've seen this document before. 20 A. (Witness reviewing exhibit.) 21 Yes. 22 Q. Okay. I mean, is it more than one document or is this a 23 collection of documents? 24 A. A collection of documents. 25 Q. But was this all presented to you by Mr. Horton relating to ELISE SMITH EVANS, RMR, CRR 598 1 these bonds? 2 A. Yes. 3 MR. ANAND: Your Honor, move to admit Government 4 Exhibit No. 302. 5 MR. WALDROP: No objection. 6 THE COURT: It's admitted. 7 Q. (BY MR. ANAND): Now, I want to ~ 1 want to skip to the back 8 for a minute. Do you recognize this document? 9 A. Yes. 10 Q. And what is it? 11 A. Let me ~ 12 Q. 1 mean, to your understanding, what did you understand this 13 to be? 14 A. It was a certificate of ownership which detailed a 12
15 transferring the ownership ofthat bond from Venezuela to the 16 company Conversion Solutions. 17 Q. Okay. And who told you that's what this meant? 18 A. Well, based on what I read and discussions with IVIr. Horton. 19 Q. And when you say based on what you read, are you saying 20 actually just 21 A. Read, yes. 22 Q. From the document itself? 23 A. Yes. 24 Q. Okay. There's nothing else that you read about this document 25 other than the document itself?
13
10 Q. Is this a financial ~ is this a financial for the company? 11 A. It's an agreement between the company and the agreement 12 holder. 13 Q. But it's not a financial document? 14 A. It's an agreement. 15 Q. It's a giobai ~ a global fund agreement. 16 MR. HARRIS: Next tab, please. Yes. Item 1 again. 17 Q. (BY MR. HARRIS): So, in this document, looking at item 1 of 18 the deposit, and not ~ we've established it's not a financial, 19 how did you derive as an independent outside auditor that this 20 $500,000,000 was an asset of Conversion Solutions Holdings Corp? 21 A. Because that was the information that I was provided by your 22 company, one. And documentation supported the fact that there's 23 a transfer of bonds from Venezuela to your company. You have an 24 agreement like this that has some financial implications in it in 25 terms of executing that bond and doing some things in the private ELISE SMITH EVANS, RMR, CRR 703 1 market. So, there was documentation that supported the fact 2 that, you know, you ~ 3 Q.. The agreement; is that what you're saying? The agreement is 4 the documentation that supported it? 5 MR. ANAND: Objection, Your Honor. We're starting to 6 ask and answer here. We're also starting to talk over each 7 other. He was in the middle of answering a question and Mr. 8 Harris interposed something else. 9 MR. HARRIS: All right. Withdrawn. 10 MR. ANAND: And I think we've plowed through this 11 ground already. 12 THE COURT: I think you've already covered this 13 territory, sir. 14 MR. HARRIS: Sir? 15 THE COURT: I think you've already covered most ofthis 16 territory. 17 MR. HARRIS: Okay. I'd like to flip through this 18 agreement, please. Next page. 19 MS. GOLDRING; The exhibit number, please? 20 MR. HARRIS: 302. 21 MS. GOLDRING: What page would you like? 22 MR. HARRIS; Can you bring it up and we go to the next 23 tab? Tab 3. Let's start with tab 3. Next tab. Next one, 24 please. I ' m sorry. There we go. Next page.. 25 Q. (BY MR. HARRIS); Off of a instrument of this type, you book ELISE SMITH EVANS, RMR, CRR 704 1 the interest into the financials ofthe company as a receivable; 2 correct, the coupon as we established? it-3 A. Your - your CFO booked that as a receivable, and 1 confirmed 4 that. 5 Q, So, you didn't complete an independent outside audit? 6 A. Yes. 7 MR. ANAND: Objection, Your Honor. Asked and answered. 8 He's explained the concept ~ 9 THE COURT: I ' m going to sustain that. Move on. 10 MR.. HARRIS: All right. No further questions. 11 THE COURT; Ms. King? 12 MS. KING: Thank you. Your Honor 13 CROSS EXAMINATION 14 BY MS. KING: 14
15 Q. Good afternoon, Mr. Benson. 16 A. Good afternoon. 17 Q. I just have a couple of questions for you about, I guess, the 18 business expense portion of your testimony on Direct. I think 19 we've already established or you've testified that you've been 20 doing this for a very long time, at least auditing private 21 companies; is that correct, and government entities? 22 A. I've audited some private companies and government entities. 23 Not ~ I did more government work ~ 24 Q.. Okay. 25 A. - versus private entities connected with government.

Histories of the two companies disclose that Waatle Holding was a company owned by Shareholders Duwayne Woods and Rufus Harris, Board members. Waatle hired Petitioner Stanley by contract. The other officers were also hired by contract. Waatle was a privately held corporation merging with Conversion Solutions surviving the merger and all Waatle shareholders became Conversion Solution share holders. Conversion Solution (Private corporation) was a SEC reporting company in the process of going public through SEC
filings as disclosed by the testimony of Don Maddalon pages TT1027 to TT1150. Share activity or events is recorded by the company itself. The company manages its own records. Likewise, but with substantial differences, Furia and Fronthaul Group, Inc. merged with Fronthaul Group, Inc. surviving the merger. Furia and Fronthaul stock were merged as well. The major differences between Fronthaul and Conversion Solutions are that Fronthaul is a publicly trading company and Conversion Solutions is a private company. Fronthaul's operations are controlled by the SEC rules and regulations. Every event involving shares must be reported to the SEC by public companies. Common to the mergers of Conversion Solution and Fronthaul are Don Maddalon, David Hawkins, Mike Alexander and Dave Perley. TT1028:1-25 It was revealed that David Hawkins had former knowledge ofthe merger before any party was encountered from Pacific Beach Mortgage Company. He owned shares of Furia pre-merger. The Furia/ Fronthaul premerger. This same David Hawkins placed UCC Note assets of over $300,006,000 to Waatle prior to its merger with Conversion Solutions. Michael Alexander, in his deposition to the SEC, testified that Dave Perley is a Consultant and that he paid him with shares. Don Maddalon, the Transfer Agent was hired to merger Furia/Fronthaul with Fronthaul surviving so a public trading company could sun/ive. Alexander testified that he was ready to close Fronthaul but he was in contact with Sabra Dabbs, CEO Powerhouse seeking funding for Fronthaul projects. Dabbs was hired by Conversion Solutions as Vice President Global Funding when she discussed $9 billion in assets and Conversion Solution, the new company she was currently working with would be able to fund his project after going public. Alexander suggested a merger since Fronthaul was on the verge of closing. 9

FROM; 61491019 TO; Chapin, Don; Gordon, Shawnette; Samuel, Don; Stanley, Lesia; Stanley, Shawketha; Stanley, Shrina SUBJECT; Contracts DATE; 04/16/2013 03; 17:30 PM
Contracts and Obligations of Contracts Petitioner Stanley is speaking to the facts of prior released public announcements by Sabra Dabbs, Michael Alexander and Rufus Paul Harris inferences to bind contracts and merger agreements. All are protected by Contractural clauses. The provisions in Article I of the United States Constitution states that no State may pass a law abolishing contracts or denying them legal effect. All statements and action was overbreadth if it attempts to punish speech or conduct that is protected by the Constitutional law without invalidating the whole law. Oran's Dictionary ofthe Law, 2nd ed. The most fundamental law of all human law incorporates survival which is a Universal Principal. Fundamental laws have to do with human interactions of all kinds. They are based on treating and dealing with others in the way that you would like to be treated or dealt with. This is the Law of Commerce which has been operational many thousands of years through the Sumerian/Babylonian era where it was codified and enforced over 6,000 years ago. The category of law dealing with proprietary rights in personam-namely, the relations between obligors and obligees. It is one of the three departments into which civil law was traditionally divided. Blacks Sth Ed, 736. An agreement between two or more parties creating obligations that are enforceable or otherwise recognizable at law - a binding contract, p. 24. The civil obligations, the binding efficacy, the coercive power, the legal duty of performing the contract, refers to the legal requirement binding the contracting parties to the performance of their undertaking and not the duties arising out of the contract itself. 71 P 301. Except where specific performance is available as a remedy, one cannot be compelled to actually perform a contract obligation; rather, he merely subjects himself to liability in damages if he fails to honor the obligation of a contract. Impair the obligation of a contract "to weaken [the contract], or lessen its value, or make it worse in any respect or in any degree....Any law which changes the intention and legal effect ofthe original parties, giving to one a greater and to the other a less interest or benefit in the contract, impairs its obligations." 115 A. 484, 486. "The extent of the change is immaterial. Any deviation from its terms by hastening or postponing the time of performance which it prescribes, or imposing conditions not included in the contract, or dispensing with the performance of those that are included...impairs the obligation of a contract." Id. Impairment is also said to exist where the right to enforce a contract is eliminated or substantially lessened. See 185 A. 401. State statutes which do so are prohibited by Article 1, Section 10 ofthe United States Constitution. Everyone has the freedom of contract which is the doctrine that people have the right to bind themselves legally, it is a judicial concept that contracts are based on mutual aareement, free choice, and thus should not be hampered by
extemal control such as governmental interference. This is the principle that people are able to fashion their relations by private agreements, esp. as opposed to the assigned roles ofthe feudal system. Blacks Law, Sth ed. An agreement that affects or creates legal relationships between two or more persons. To be a contract, an agreement must involve; at -least a promise, consideration (something of value promised or given), persons legally capable of making binding agreements, and a reasonable certainty about the meaning of the terms. Uniform Commercial Code defines contract is the "total legal obligation which results from the parties' agreement," and according to the Restatement of Law of Contracts, it is "a promise or set of promises for the breach of which the law in some way recognizes a duty." UCC, Chapter 25. Society and business have become complex. Such complexity has caused the creation and usage of contracts in all areas of the business community such as with this Waatle to Conversion Solutions to Fronthaul merger and its marriage/ partnership/contractural obligations to each other and other companies offering a specific contractural service to promote the company. Contractural employment is an excellent example. Many different types of contracts were utilized to transgress from Waatle Holding Inc to Conversion Solutions, Inc to Fronthaul, Inc. With those contracts came many individuals who are classified as parties to the contracts. When any one contract is breached, a party to the appropriate contract that entered an agreement with the other party must negotiate their current standing. This is the only recognized method for resolding issues with a contract unless done so in a court of law. Herein lies problems that resulted in wrongful conviction of Petitioner Stanley. Instead of bring an actual party to the appropriate contracts, third party interlopers, not a party to the contracts, were called to testify on the authenticity of the contracts. Such testimony was and is flawed. Contracting parties that are not made available for examination in a court proceeding are classified as "indispensable parties." It is trickery and deceit not to have a party to the contract in dispute available for examination. It is Estoppel when one party to the contract/agreement is not available to promote or defend his rights. Petitioner Stanley informs the importance of contractural obligations cannot be over emphasized. As the law vividly manifest, the rules governing relationships among people have existed for centuries becoming complicated based upon societal conditions and willingness to hormoniously enteract for the benefit of human kind. The liberty or ability to enter into agreements with others, freedom of contract is a "basic and fundamental right resen/ed to the people" by the fifth and fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution ofthe United States which prohibits "the deprivation of liberty without due process of law. "32 F. Supp. 964, 987. "Freedom of Contract is subject to legislative regulatios in the interest of public health, safety, morals or welfare." 57 A.2d 421, 423. Barron's Law Dictionary, 6th Ed. 14

C A S E SUIWi\flARY PROCEDURAL POSTURE:^Petitioner conditionally pleaded guilty in district court under 18 U.S.C.S. 229 to unlawful possession or use of a chemical. The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit found that petitioner lacked standing to assert that^ 229 v/as invalid under the Tenth Amendment. The Supreme Court granted certiorari.Petitioner had standing to challenge her statute of conviction, 18 U.S.C.S. 229, on Tenth Amendment grounds as an infringement upon the powers reserved to the states, Petitioner could assert her own injury resulting from disregard ofthe federal structure; federalisrn's limitations were not a matter of rights belonging oniy to the states. OVERVIEW: Petitioner challenged 229 based on the premise that Congress ..exceeded its powers by enacting the statute in contravention of basic federalism principl.es. The Third Circuit held that, absent a state's participation in the proceedings, petitioner had no standing to assert a Tenth Amendment challenge. The Supreme Court held that petitioner did have standing to challenge 229 as an infringement upon the powers reserved to the states. The U.S. Const, art. Ill standing requirement had no bearing on petitioner's capacity to assert defenses in her cnminal case, and her appeal met constitutional standing prerequisites. Petitioner could assert her own injury resulting from governmental action that exceeded the authority that federalism defined; federalisrn's limitations were not a matter of rights belonging only to the states. Petitioner also was not precluded from arguing that 229 interfered lecases 1 Counsel

One who seeks to initiate or continue proceedings in federal court must demonstrate, among other requirements, both standing to obtain the relief requested and, in addition, an ongoing interest in the dispute on the part of the opposing party that is sufficient to establish "concrete adverseness." When those conditions are met, U.S. Const art. Ill does not restrict the opposing party's ability to object to relief being sought at its expense. The requirement of U.S, Const art. III standing thus has no bearing upon a criminal defendant's capacity to assert defenses in a district court.

A defendant's challenge to a conviction and sentence satisfies the case-or-controversy requirement, because incarceration constitutes a concrete injury, caused by the conviction and redressable by invalidation of the conviction.

State
if a person alleging injury is remote from the zone of interests a statute protects, whether there is a legal injury at all and whether the particuiar litigant is one who may assert it can involve similar inquiries. Statutory standing and the existence of a cause of action are closely connected and sometimes identical questions. Still, the question whether a plaintiff states a claim for relief goes to the merits in the typical case, not the justiciability of a dispute, and conflation of the two concepts can cause confusion.

To the extent that it was the intention of the United States Supreme Court in Tennessee Elec. Power Co. V, TVA, 306 U.S, 118 (1939), to refer to standing in the sense of whether plaintiffs are the proper litigants to raise a Tenth Amendment issue, it is inconsistent with the Supreme Court's later precedents. The statement under Tennessee Electric that parties, absent the states or their officers, have no standing to raise any question under the Tenth Amendment should be deemed neither controlling nor instructive on

Federalism has more than one dynamic. It is true that the federal structure serves to grant and delimit the prerogatives and responsibilities of the states and the national government vis-a-vis one another. "Tiie allocation of powers in the federal system preser\/es the integrity, dignity, and residual sovereignty ofthe states, The federal balance is, in part, an end in itself, to ensure that states function as political entities in their own right. But that is not its exclusive sphere of operation. Federalism is more than an exercise in setting the boundary between different institutions of government for their own integrity. State sovereignty is not just an end in itself: Rather, federalism secures to citizens the liberties that derive from the diffusion of sovereign power. Some of these liberties are of a political character.

The federal structure allows local, policies more sensitive to the diverse needs of a heterogeneous society, permits innovation and experimentation, enables greater citizen involvement in democratic processes, and,makes government more responsive by putting the states in competition for a mobile citizenry. Federalism secures the freedom ofthe individual. It allov/s states to respond, through the enactment of positive law, to the initiative of those who seek a voice in shaping the destiny of their own times without having to rely solely upon the political processes that control a remote central power. True, of course, these objects cannot be vindicated by the Judiciary in the absence of a proper case or , controversy; but the individual liberty secured by federalism is not simply derivative of the rights of the states.
Constitutional Constitutional Constitutional Law > Congressional Duties & Powers > Reserved Law > Relations Among Governments > General Law > State Autonomy > General Overview Powers Overview
Federalism protects thefibsiiy of all persons within a state by ensuring that laws enacted in excess of delegated governmental power cannot direct or control their actions. By denying any one .government complete jurisdiction over all the concerns of public life, federalism protects the liberty of the individual from arbitrary power. When government acts in excess of its lawful powers, that liberty is at stake.

The limitations ti'iat federalism entails are not a matter of rights belonging only to the states, States are tiot the sole intended beneficiaries of federalism. An individual has a direct interest in objecting to laws -that upset the constitutional balance between the national government and the states when the jSiiforcement of those laws causes injury that is concrete, particular, and redressable. Fidelity to principles of federalism is not for the states alone to vindicate.

Just as it is appropriate for an individual, in a proper case, to invol<e separation-of-powers or cliecks-and-balances constraints, so too may a litigant, in a proper case, challenge a, law as enacted in contravention of constitutional principles of federalism. That claim need not depend on the vicarious assertion of a state's constitutional interests, even if a state's constitutional interests are also implicated.
Constitutional Constitutional Law > Congressional Law> State Autonomy Duties & Powers > Reserved > General Overview Powers
Tlig principles of limited national powers and state sovereignty are intertvvined. While neither originates Jnjhe Tenth Ajnendmient, both are expressed by it. Impermissible interference with state sovereignty is rlo^within the enumerated powers of the national government, and action that exceedsrthe national 'jovernment's enumerated powers undermines the sovereign interests of states.

You know, I mean, his favorite line was buy the crap out of 19 it and, you know, not to sell and it was going to be good. And 20 it was $15 a share, and it was going to - that was common stock. 21 He was always talking about common stock. He never talked about 22 the preferred stock on SubPenny Radio. And that, you know, he 23 talked about the joint ventures. He talked about where fhe 24 business was going and the money and the bonds and the funds and, 25 you know, endlessly said it was going to be 6 to 1 and $15 a ELISE SMITH E V A N S , R M R , C R R 1274 1 share for common stock. 2 Q. And did you - now, you've mentioned that you bought 3 preferred stock in the company? 4 A. Yes, ma'am. _ , 5 r ^ . ^ 5'Q:"Did you in fact buy common stock in the company? i I 6 A. Yes, I did. I bought common stock in early July, like maybe 7 about the 1 2 t h ~ 11th, 12th. In about a week's time, I bought a 8 substantial amount of common stock. 9 Q. Do you happen to remember the price the shares were trading 10 at at that time? 11 A. Yes. When I bought, the first ones I bought, I think it was 12 about 9 cents a share, Some when I bought a little bit later, 13 maybe 17th or 18th of July, it was a little bit more, even up as 14 high as like 43 cents. I know I averaged out at like, 1 think, 15 24 cents was my average. 16 Q. Okay. Did you foiiow the stock price between the time you 17 bought, well, for the next 12 months? 18 A. Yes. 19 Q. And did you see the stock actually increase in price? 20 A. Yes, I did. 21 Q. Okay. And did you sell at that time? 22 A. No, I did not. 23 0 , Why not? 7 24 A. Well, I didn't sell because Rufus told us not to sell. He 25 said to ~ he said we should have it in hard copies. 1 actually ELISE SMITH E V A N S , R M R , C R R 1275 1 put mine in October in a hard copy, in a stock. 1 actually even 2 moved my stock portfolio from - with Conversion Solutions from 3 Ameritrade to Scott Trade, because he said that Ameritrade had__ 4 said or did inappropriate things or was doing something that was 5 wrong and they were, I don't know, lacking in integrity or 6 something. 1 don't even remember exactly what. But I do know 43b
TRULINCS 61491019 - S T A N L E Y , BENJAMIN - Unit: BUF-V-B 7 that I believed that, too, and I moved my stock from one trading 8 company to another. 9 When the stock went up in price, I didn't sell because 10 he had said don't sell, that it was a long-term investment. In 11 fact, his comments were always that like people that sold were 12 like traitors or ~ I don't know, was like contrary or like doing 13 something wrong to sell it. 14 Q. Did ~ was there a time where you did in fact sell the common 15 shares that you had? 16 A. I sold my common shares after the stock was halted in late 17 October. And 1 didn't even have mine in my stock portfolio at 18 the brokerage house because I had it in a hard copy. So, I took. 19 my hard copy and forwarded it to Ameritrade. And when the stock 20 traded again, I sold it. 21 Q. How much ~ do you recall how much ~ 22 A. It was around 30 - it was on its way down. And I think I 23 sold it - I can't tell you exactly, but around 32 cents, 24 something like that, 35, 32, you know. And it was dropping as I 25 was selling. ELISE SMITH EVANS, R M R , C R R 1276 1 0 . So, anywhere from 6 to 10 cents more than what you had bought 2 it for? 3 A. Yes. I did make a little money on it. 4 Q. Now, I'd like to talk about this preferred stock. 5 A. Yes, ma'am. 6 Q. Okay. What exactly was explained to you about preferred 7 shares? And I guess second to that question, who explained that 8 to you? 9 A. The person who explained it to me was Sabra Dabbs. And what 10 she told me and what ended up happening was different. And what 11 I did was I gave ~ I wrote checks as the money came available to .12 me, because sometimes you have to access it, you know. And I 13 she had told me at the - at the beginning when I first actually 14 wrote checks that the stock was going to be around a d o l l a r - a 15 dollar a share and that it was guaranteed in six months to be $50 16 a share. 17 0.1 just want to clarify. The stock that you would be buying, 18 you would be buying something at a dollar a share? 19 A. Yes. That's what she told me originally. 20 Q. Separate and apart from whatever it was trading on the open 21 market? 22 A. It wasn't even - this was the preferred shares and they 23 weren't even apparently on the open market. I was writing the 24 check directly to the principals or the company itself. And, so, 25 that's what she talked about. And she said she had gotten that ELISE SMITH EVANS, R M R , C R R 1277 1 information as it transpired, as it - later on. 2 I wrote $500,000 worth of checks directly to Conversion 3 Solutions and I did it with - on word of mouth. Not on ~ not 4 using good business sense of sorts. 1 didn't have the contract, 5 I didn't have shares. I just had canceled checks. 6 0 . Okay. Well, we'll get to that, Ms. Nelkin. And I just 7 want - we're going to take our time. Okay? 8 A . Okay. 9 0 . Okay. Now, you said that you wrote the checks prior to 10 having a contract? 11 A. Yes. 12 0 . Okay. 13 A. Because it was different when 1 got the contract. It didn't 43c

On July 10, 2006, Don Maddalon did unlawfully solicit the public's purchase of securities before the Securities Exchange Commission approved a registration statement. The making of offers after the filing of a registration statement, but
before its effective date, when such offers violate the securities act; also termed conditioning the market is considered 18 U S C section 1348 Securities and Commodities fraud. Knowing he was violating the Act and the Blue Sky Laws, nevertheless President of Integrity Stock Transfer, Don Maddalon, Transfer Agent located at 2920 North Green Valley Parkway, Bldg 5, Suite 527, Henderson, NV 89014 did cause to be released legal shares, restrictive shares, and illegal shaf-es to be traded on the open market without approval from the Securities Exchange Commission. Don Maddalon's violation of the S E C Act of 1934 caused the untimely trading of illegal and restrictive shares from July 10, 2006 to September 20, 2006. Therefore, Defendant /Petitioner Stanley cannot be held liable for Don Maddalon's actions because he is incapacitated to perform the functions of that job and he is Res inter alios acta.
Sabra D. Dabbs, Executive Vice President - Giobai Operations, C S H C on September 15, 200 notified Don Maddalon, President, Integrity Stock Transfer by letter stated that "passing a resolution requiring all Fronthaul Groups restricted shares to be held, halted, and recalled." And in paragraph three of the same leter, Ms Dabbs advises Mr. Maddalon "Additionally we are demanding a hold, halt and immediate recall of all Fronthaul restricted shares. W e have attached a copy ofthe letter to N A S D A Q , ofthis stoppage and recall." The letter can be read in its entirety. Following that letter is an email from Ms. Dabbs to C E O Harris dated October 20, 2006 information copy to defendant Stanley and
46
and Mitch
Transfer Agent, Doh Maddalon along with ongoing procedures for filing. The next two documents are evidence that Integrity Stock Transfer "transfer restricted Waatle restricted shares and Reissue with Legend Removal Rule 144(K)," and a cancelled stock certificate to Vice President Duwayne Woods, Vice President Waatle for two million shares of Waatle Holdings Corporation stock authorized by Intergity Stock Transfer. This page follows also. Lastly is a letter from Don Maddalon to Rufus Paul Harris dated October 17, 2006 giving notice of Transfer Agent termination as C S H C representative. The totality of these documents and the Transfer Agent's admission of commiting a S E C violation when he allowed restricted shares to be traded ( T T 1 0 4 2 - T T 1 0 5 7 ) a n d the fact that Defendant Stanley was not a party to the official actions of Dabbs, Harris and Maddalon and that's Maddalon's actual admission of violation of S E C Rules clearly discharges Defendant/Petitioner from the actions of the prosecutors. Besides the facts above, the office of General Counsel for Merrill Lynch presented the newly discovered evidence impeaches the "critical evidence" and testimony and brings to rise that Mr. Maddalon (the Fronthaul Transfer Agent) made an error in the issuance of the freely tradable shares to the defendant's/Petitioner's family member (See Affidavit of Rufus Paul Harris, Evidence #2). Following is Securities and commodities fraud section #1348, Conversion Solution letter dated September 15, 2006 by Sabra Dabbs to Don Maddalon, email from Dabbs to C E O Harris, Subj: Transfer Agent/Board Resolutions, Invoice to Duwayne Woods (Transfer restricted Waatle Restricted shares and reissue with legend removal rule 144(k)., Cancelled Shares Certificate, and Letter from Integrity Stock Transfer dated October 17, 2006 confirming the information provided herein.

Affidavit of Benjamin Stanley regarding Don Maddalon, Transfer Agent Benjamin Stanley's examination of the testimony by Don Maddalon, Transfer Agent for both the Furia/Fronthaul and Fronthaul/Conversion Solutions mergers, and President of integrity Stock Transfer located at 2920 N. Green Valley Parkway, Bldg 5, Suite 527, Henderson, N V 89014 with twenty to twenty-one years experience in the accounting and management of various forms of stock in public companies hiring him for his expertise, reveals his schemes to compromise the integrity of Conversion Solutions by conspiring with agencies and individuals not a party to contractural obligations. The compromises are revealed through questions by C E O Rufus Paul Harris; Attorney Ashmoah; Attorney Hawker and Attorney Hall. The completeness ofthe examination of Don Maddalon, under oath, revealed startling facts and events as recorded under the specific areas of testimony. Foremost to these events which lead to trial is the United States of America v. Rufus Paul Harris, Benjamin Stanley and Darryl Horton, violation of petitioner rights under Amendment 10 are overwhelming. The rights reserved and protected by Amendment 10 were completely stampeded by the prosecutors and investigators for unspoken reasons because based upon the lack of evidence in this trial and the unremarkable appearances and illusions of Petitioner's involvement are only overshadowed by his innocense. At the very onset of the investigation, Don Maddalon, Transfer Agent did provide false and fraudulent information to government officials. Specifically, Don Maddalon testified in his Deposition to the S E C that he prepared the Share List for Conversion Solutions ( S E C Deposition March 28 2007) and during cross examination and redirect examination, TT1027 to TT1150 it was he (Don Maddalon) who filed various S E C filings on behalf of Conversion Solutions and Fronthaul. It was he, (Don Maddalon) who violated S E C rules most substantially releasing restrictive shares in the market. As the examinations by Mr. Harris, Ms. Ashmoah, Mr. Hawker, and Ms. Hall clearly exposed the fraudulent antics of Don Maddalon. Ready, if ever, was there a mention of this Petitioner's involvement in wrongdoings. Petitioner believes, based upon the actions of the prosecutor and the court, that he is a victim of selective prosecution due to Federalism first because there is no evidence, direct or circumstantial to tie him to defrauding any clients of Waatle Holdings, Conversion Solutions Holdings or Fronthaul, Inc. Third, there is no evidence, direct or indirect, which proves that he is liable for obtaining U C C Notes and Bonds. Fourth, that he is not liable to Ms. Nelkin because she relied totally upon and she depended absolutely upon and that she unequivocably trusted Sabra Dabbs, an Indispensable party to prepare share contracts which she signed without any reservations whatsoever prior to investing over $500,000 in common and preferred stock of Fronthaul prior
to any aerger. F i f t h that Petitioner cannot be held l i a b l e f o r the actions of Don Maddalon, Transfer Agent and non-charged party, for authorizing the unlawful release of common shares and ...i preferred shares therein v i o l a t i n g SEG laws and regulations. (TT987:12 ~ TT1019:1-19) Sixth that P e t i t i o n e r Stanley cannot be held l i a b l e for the contractural obligations of other company o f f i c i a l s (Rufus Paul Harris, Duwayne Woods, Sabra Dabbs, Don Maddalon, MichaeX Alexander, Ann Nelkin, e t . a l . . . or SEC o f f i c i a l s and share holders because; he was not a party to their contractural obligations. Sei?enth, that P e t i t i o n e r cannot be held l i a b l e for the actions of Don Maddalon, Transfer Agent and non-charged party for his unlawfully releasing r e s t r i c t i v e shares as
coimHon
stock thereby v i o l a t i n g SEC laws and regulations because Petitioner was As evident by TT786:22-23, E r i c Deneault t e s t i f i e d that
he i n i t i a t e d contact with Leisa Stanley and that i t was he who mailed the hard copy share c e r t i f i c a t e to Don Maddalon. That Don Maddalon released the 1,000,000 shares
f o r trading and n o t i f i e d Deneault's agency by electronic means. Further that upon r e c e i p t of the,, Deneault contact Ms. Stanley to determine the quantity she wanted traded. Again, P e t i t i o n e r Stanley i s Res i n t e r a l i o s acta to the events between
the p a r t i e s , he lacks NEXUS, he lacks mens rea, and i s a victim of selective prosecut i o n f o r the crime of others and the crimes alleged against him. I t i s clear to this
P e t i t i o n e r that absent the negligence of investigatory individuals, these gross mistakes against P e t i t i o n e r would not exist, Eigth that Petitioner Stanley cannot
be held l i a b l e for Don Maddalon!s unlawful reslease of l e g a l shares, i l l e g a l shares, and fraudulent reports to the market place and SEC v i o l a t i n g the laws and rules pertaining thereto to include the Merger Agreement. Ninth, that Petitioner Stanley cannot be
held l i a b l e for the actions of Duwayne Woods, O f f i c e r , Director and indispensable party of Waatle Holdings, Inc and David Hawkins, Owner-Pacific Beach Mortgage and a UCC Note t o t a l i n g #3000 m i l l i o n which was presented to Waatle Holdings, Inc. f o r c a p i t a l
infusion; who have r i g h t s under A r t i c l e 1, Section 10, Clause 1 of the Constitution of the United States to contract without interference; and Tenth, that Petitioner cannot be held l i a l e f o r the contractural obligations of Ann Nelkin, Investor and indispensable party, regarding investments i n Fronthaul and her purchase of Fronthaul shares because she too has rights provided by the Constitution of the United States, A r t i c l e 1, Section 10, Clause 1 to enter into any type contract she so desires. P e t i t i o n e r Stanley was not a party to Ann Nelkins's contractural obligations.
Eleventh, that Petitioner Stanley cannot be held l i a b l e for the contractural o b l i gations o f Sabra Dabbs (company o f f i c e r , indispensable party, and recruiter of Ann Nelkin, indispensable party and Ismet Paez, indispensable party and owner of Venezuelan Bonds of $9 b i l l i o n ) because under the Constitution of the United States, A r t i c l e 1, Section 10, Clause 1, a l l including Ms. Dabbs have the rights to enter into any types of contracts they so chose. P e t i t i o n e r was not a party to their contracts,

INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL The two-pronged S t r i c k l a n t Test i s incorporated herein to j u s t i f y P e t i t i o n e r Benjamin F. Stanley's claims for i n e f f e c t i v e assistance of counsel. The f i r s t
prong of the Stricklant Test i s deficient performance which requires a showing that counsel's performance f e l l below an objective standard of reasonableness. Strickland, 466 U.S. at 687-88. The Constitution does not guarantee flawless U.S. v.
Gronic, 466 U.S. 648, 656 (1984) recognizing that the f a c t that coimsel may have made demonstrable errors does not necessarily mean coimsel was i n e f f e c t i v e ) . Objectively reasonable performance i s performance that i s reasonable under p r e v a i l i n g professional norms. Strickland, 466 at 688 and make[s] the adverStrickland 466 U.S. 690.
The United States Supreme Court has recognized that no set of rules "can s a t i s f a c t o r i l y take account of the variety of circumstances faced by defense cousel or the range of legitimate decisions regarding how best to represent a c r i m i n a l defendants" (200). Id= at 689-90., see also Roe v. Flores-Ortega, 528 U.S. 470, 477
Thus the deciding court must evaluate the reasonableness of defense coun-
s e l ' s conduct on a case-by-case basis and must consider a l l of the circumstances. The court has expressly rejected the adoption of per se rules regarding d e f i c i e n t performance. See Roe, 528 U.S. at 478. Additionally, when judging reasonableness, the court must not engage i n hind
sight rather, i t must consider counsel's conduct as of the time of the alleged d e f i c i e n t performance. See Strickland, 466 U.S. a t 689. Because of the
d i f f i c u l t i e s inherent i n making the evaluation, a court must indulge a strong presemption that cotmsel's conduct f a l l s within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance. Strickland, 466 U.S. at 689; Roe, 528 U.S. a t 477;
Wien analyzing claims under t h i s prong of the Strickland test, courts oc^casionally l a b e l counsel's decision or action "strategic" or " t a c t i c a l " and i n d i c a t e that they w i l l not second-guess such a decision. ^ n j s t r a t e g i c or tactical decision unassailable. with the language of the Strickland decision. Such a view renders then
" s t r a t e g i c choices made after thorough investigation of law and facts relevant t o plausible options are v i r t u a l l y unchallengeable Strickland, 466, U.S. at 690. r .
i t ; i s also recognized that s t r a t e g i c choices made after "less than complete imvestigation are reasonable only "to the extent that reasonable professional judgments support the l i m i t a t i o n s on investigation. Id. at 690-691. a Thus when
strategic or t a c t i c a l decision i s challenged, the court must determine whether was made after thorough investigation of the relevant law and
I f so, the decision i s , i n the words of Strickland, " v i r t u a l l y I f not, the court must inquire whether the l i m i t a t i o n on invest Of course, the defendant bears the burden of rebutting reasonable.
unchallengeable." i g a t i o n was
reasonable.
Under the second prong of the Strickland test, the defendant must show that the d e f i c i e n t performance prejudiced When an I n e f f e c t i v e Assistance the defense. Strickland, 466 U.S. at 687, 692,
requires the defendant to show that 'counsel's errors were so serious as to deprive the defendant, of a f a i r t r i a l , a t r i a l whose result i s r e l i a b l e . Id. at 687 This
means that an error does not warrant reversal of a conviction unless there i s a "reasonable probability that, but for counsel's ...errors, the r e s u l t of the ceeding would have been d i f f e r e n t . Id. at 694" A reasonable probability " i s a Strickland, 466 pro-
whether "there i s a reasonable probability that absent the errors, the factfinder "89
If
ttie challenge i s to a death sentence, the inquiry focuses on "whether there i s a reasonable probability that, absent the errors, the sentence would have concluded
ttaat the balance of aggravating and mitigating circumstances did not warrant death. 14. That i s not the case here. This i n e f f e c t i v e assistance of coimsel case i s
raised a f t e r a not g u i l t y plea and focuses on whether "there i s a reasonable prob a b i l i t y that, but f o r counsel's errors, [the defendant] would have been found not g u i l t y p r i o r to t r i a l thereby mitigating the need f o r a t r i a l and saving valtiable tax d o l l a r s . Further, i f not f o r counsel's d e f i c i e n t performance, there Id.
A defendant can r a i s e the claim...in one of three ways: (1) i n a motion f o r a new t r i a l based on anything other than newly discovered evidence; (2) on d i r e c t appeal i f and only i f i t conclusively appears from the record that h i s counsel d i d not provide e f f e c t i v e assistance; or (3) by a c o l l a t e r a l challenge pursuant to 28 USC 2255. United States v. Martinez, 136 F.3d 972, 979-80
On the second point ( i n e f f e c t i v e assistance claims may not be raised on d i r e c t appeal unless record i s conclusive), see also U.S. v. A l l e n , 491 F3.d 178, 191-192 (4th Cir. 2007) Defendant claims i n e f f e c t i v e assistance of counsel i n the following (2) f a i l u r e to study or understand
