This is just down the road from the former AIM headquarters, so I am sure it is the right district:

SAN FERNANDO VALLEY
United States Bankruptcy Court – Central District of California
21041 Burbank Boulevard
Woodland Hills, California 91367

Hours: M-F 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

General Information: (818) 587-2900
Job Hotline: (213) 894-3129
VCIS: (213) 894-4111
(866) 522-6053

Here is the access site, costs are eight cents per page. A whole case would cost less than $50 in my experience. Michael as an attorney can easily get access by signing up (I am not an attorney and no longer work in the credit union industry, so I doubt they will give me access without a fight as it said for official business only even though this is supposed to be public info).

https://ecf.cacb.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/login.pl

Here is the Trustee’s consolidated website:

http://www.justice.gov/ust/r16/woodland_hills/index.htm

This is enough info for either an attorney or credit union/bank collector to get what is needed to shut the AIM database down.

That person could fax the necessary papers to the internet provider and have it down in minutes. Anyone know the name of the Trustee and the case number (or even what federal court it is filed in, I would bet that LA is in more than one court district due to sheer size)? Bankruptcy information is public information but not living in LA I don’t even know what court to have someone contact. In business there isn’t a shred of exempt property in a liquidation bankruptcy (unlike a personal bankruptcy where most of a person’s property is exempt in practice).

I will attempt to get the website of the bankruptcy court districts in LA so Michael Whiteacre can get on it for you.

The fact remains that someone who derives his/her views from reading your site is seeing the world through your prism. It’s the difference between watching Fox News or msnbc or CNN. ALL of them present news and commentary. Nothing wrong with that, but it is what it is.

I have no idea of what is required to take down the info from the server, or how quick they’d be to respond with action (you say they get a legal request and “its done”, but I see no way you can GUARANTEE immediate action by them), and you and I both have no idea of whether or not Jeffrey Douglas has actually contacted them yet. You are speculating. Does it look great? — no. Could there be a very reasonable explanation? — yes. Are you right to have pointed out that it should have been done by AIM or representatives of the now-defunct AIM months ago? — absolutely.

You say that FSC has done nothing to change the performers’ perception of it and I say you are mistaken. I invite you and your readers to watch the news these next two weeks — I think you’ll find that lots has been going on behind the scenes of which you, Brenda and the rest have not been aware. At that point, performers and everyone else can judge FSC on the merits and not on speculations and assumptions. I think that’s fair, and smart.

I ask legitimate questions, the FSC doesn’t respond or help or change anything and people see that.

If you guys think Brenda has a bad impression of the FSC ask around the talent pool that the FSC is trying now to represent.

Whether the perception of the FSC is right or wrong is IS the Reality and the FSC has done nothing to change that

Case in point, had Jeffery Douglas contacted the hosting company of the AIM database server he’d have gotten the same response I did.

Essentially, they need a legal request to take it down and it’s done…Gee Imagine that a LEGAL request….say maybe from an attorney who represented AIM?

That’s the kind of thing I am talking about, there hasn’t been a valid test on that server for MONTHS, Jeffery was notified a week before I posted that it was still up and here it is almost another week and it is still up.

There is NO excuse for it, Jeffery could have made ONE phone call, sent ONE email and it would be down already.

Why hasn’t that happened?

And y’all think Brenda has the wrong idea about AIM and the FSC? Come on…I’m square with her on that.

Give me the authority to fire Jeffery Douglas and watch how fast he gets that database down….I dare you!

And yes, I’m certain that Jeffrey Douglas knows who to call — the question is how available the person or persons he called made themselves, and how responsive they were.

The apparent carelessness vis-a-vis the AIM site/server reflects poorly upon AIM, and, under your construction, Me. Douglas too. But Jeffrey Douglas is not FSC. He sits on FSC’s board, and he represents many clients besides FSC and the now-defunct AIM.

Yet it is still there. That doesn’t strike you as a little odd or careless? I’d think any responsible person who either had access to the data base or knows someone who does, would have had it removed by now. What’s the hold up on making some phone calls?

Perhaps he’s using Joanne’s “official channels” and they are working on it, but it will take a long time.

Meanwhile, back in the real world… Please, someone just hack it and take it down. It’s no longer needed and those who can take it down are obviously no more competent to remove a website than they were to check someone for hepatitis.
