The parties should be able to develop a mechanism where claimants can "opt-out" of a home mailing.  Might make some attorneys actually speak to their clients.

 

I have been getting mail from OMNI regarding the status of the BK to my home address for a while. I think the cat may be out of bag if a claimant was trying to conceal their involvement in the BSA BK. Has any survivor on here received snail from OMNI to their home address?

If you vote yes, I can buy that vacation home in Cabo and you can afford a partial year of therapy.  If you vote no, I'll have to work more on this project and my wall street backers may increase my interest rate.  Please vote yes.  I think I heard a yes.  Ok, then, we agree ... yes.  Thanks!

Yeah ... good luck controlling the vote if the Coalition lawyers get the ballots.  As much as I love the BSA and I think this deal works out well for them, I really dislike the Coalition lawyers.  Those few hours I spent listening to court was enough to see who they represent.  BSA lawyers are great ... they represent BSA well.  The insurance lawyers are great defenders of their employer (one reminds me a a mob lawyer, but that's fine.)  The TCC lawyers ... also well spoken, clearly defending their position.  The claimant lawyers who are sex abuse lawyers have been stellar ... frequently objecting, telling us why it doesn't represent their client interests.  The one time I heard from the Coalition lawyer it was about themselves more than their clients.  It made me sick thinking that there is a group of people in this process so poorly represented.  It also makes me concerned, as a BSA supporter, that this could end bad ... because a group is so poorly represented.  I would rather have all sides represented well as the outcome is less likely to be appealed and when the plan is approved we are done.  I'm not convinced we are headed to that resolution.

Yes, and this is the reason I terminated my relationship with the Coalition. It took me a little while to figure out why they got involved...FOR THEMSELVES. They are using the BSA BK to make a quick buck. I hope Justice Silverstein again denies their outrageous attorney fees. 

I have been following this thread and others similar to it for some time. Let me tell you "some" of my story...

1. My perpetrator is in the BSA IV Files and was barred from BSA.
2. There are multiple victims (not including myself) spread amongst multiple BSA troops.
3. My CO, LC and BSA were aware of the "propensity" of my perpetrator to victimize young boys but each turned a blind which is why # 1 & 2  above conditions exist.
4. Law enforcement got involved 2 decades ago. Hopefully, in the near future when I am in state court (NO SOL), the judge will explore why my CO and LC did not disclose material information (i.e. IV File) regarding my perpetrator to the exploitation of children police task force assigned to that case at that time. 
5. My sexual abuse lasted years as other victims.
6. Our perpetrator was not only our scout master but a full-time teacher at our CO.
7. I "was" a member of the Coalition but recently terminated my relationship with them. I am not going to watch them ride off into the sunset with a $10 million plus payout while survivors like myself are sold off for cheap scrap metal under this 5.0 amended plan.
8. My LC is not even contributing 10% of its available resources. Divided evenly amongst all claimants for my particular LC, we are talking barely $4k/survivor. And this is before before attorney fees. 
9. On top of #8, the proposed TDP will mitigate my claim valuation because my perpetrator had access to me outside of scouting. Adding insult to injury is a huge understatement here. 
10. I will be voting "NO" on the current 5.0 plan unless vast changes are made to it. I am not going to reward my CO, LC or BSA for their self-serving behavior based on my past experiences and current encounters with them in this BK.
11. The current Plain English summary is a farce. Reminds me of a peddler trying to scam people into purchasing some cure all snake-oil. Funny how they don't mention one word about the active appeal filed by the US Trustee/DOJ over the Purdue Pharma releases. Aren't we supposed to be made aware of risk factors???And that is just for starters...
12. If you are survivor and your abuse occurred in a state without SOL, then I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO VOTE NO on the current 5.0 railroad job. And if you are a survivor in a time barred state, then I encourage you to see how little your LC is contributing and maybe even your CO.
13. My CO is MIA....shocking! No, not really that is par for the course for them.

 We may lose this battle but I can assuredly tell you I will go down swinging. And my story will be told both in public and in the courtroom.
