Additional Facts
As a matter of public record, by mid-October 1990, in just under 90 days of the State of Florida’s erroneous actions and baseless charges, a federal bankruptcy judge refused to order the removal of the beleaguered company’s current management. “There has been a lack of proof to sustain the appointment of a trustee at this stage of the case,” said U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James N. Barr in Santa Ana. “I have no indications that current management is doing anything illegal or anything that is to the detriment of the estate.” Additionally, Florida was the only state to file criminal charges against the company, and California Attorney General John Van de Kamp stepped forward to assure citizens of his state that he “found that FundAmerica’s business model and membership did not violate any state law.”
And, ironically, the Florida comptroller who was responsible for the false charges being brought against the company and Edwards, would be disgraced in 2003 through an impeachment resolution for accepting campaign cash to overlook problems at failing Florida financial institutions under his direct oversight.

Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or facts:
“The world will never be long without some good reason to hate the unhappy; their real faults are immediately detected, and if those are not sufficient to sink them into infamy, an additional weight of calumny will be superadded.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
