IOS Coupon Fraud Federal Case / POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL INDICTMENTS TO COME!!!

BREAKING NEWS

IOS FEDERAL CASE
POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL INDICTMENTS TO COME!!!

On June 14, 2007 the U.S. Justice Department summarized their case in the matter of United States v. Balsiger, et al, Case # 07-Cr-57, which details the ongoing follow-up investigation and the volume of documents being examined by FBI agents and U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The summary letter details the granting of the governments motion to dismiss the indictment against International Outsourcing Services. They report that the agreement, “as part of an Agreement for full cooperation by the corporation, including full government access to all IOS files.”

As part of the agreement, IOS secured promises from its attorneys including law firms of Scott Hulse, Matrshall, Feuille Finger & Thurmond,P.C., of El Paso, ?Greenberg Trauig LLP of Chicago and Mallor Clendening Grodner & Bohrer, LLP of Bloomington, In. to make their case and coupon related files available to the government for review.
A question on “Privileged Communication” and probable privileged litigation may exist.

The U.S. Attorney asserts that “the ongoing investigation has shown that at least some attorneys for IOS were used, perhaps unwittingly in most of all cases, to pass along false information to the government in an attempt to obstruct justice.” The U.S. Attorney further suggests that “some attorneys were also deployed to harass one or more government witnesses for the same purpose.”

The U. S Attorney also suggests that “still other witnesses were subject to coaching before they were interviewed in the government’s investigation.”

An ongoing investigation seeks to determine precisely which individuals were responsible for this apparent additional criminal conduct. The U.S, Attorney went on to suggest that “when that is determined, we expect to seek superseding indictments.”

The documents of the law firms are “highly relevant” to the inquiry into possible obstruction. The need for the U.S, Attorney’s office to seek further information will; require a court approval that the information they seek is not privileged attorney client documents. A future hearing will settle this question,
