Subject: [arin-ppml] Apology requested from Christopher Mettin and
theGymnasium Querfurt High School

 


Dear Christopher and ARIN community:

I am requesting a public apology from you Christopher Mettin and your
organization the Gymnasium Querfurt High School for calling me an Internet
terrorist, a liar and other libelous, slanderous and defamatory statements
made by you in a public forum against me.

Also Christopher please do not jump the gun and make this decision on your
own. Kindly consult your supervisor and principle with respect to my request
and take the time to show them my request as well as the statements made by
you on behalf of your school against me.

For the record I will now respond to the allegations made against me by Mr.
Mettin.

1) I am not an "Internet terrorist". This claim by Mr. Mettin below is not
only false but seriously libelous, slanderous and defamatory.

2) I was never an employee of the Public-Root. I was a consultant since
2003. And I was not fired. I walked out along with other consultants because
of the criminal activity uncovered by me - being mainly the embezzlement of
funds, money laundering and tax evasion by senior executive staff.

3) I never attacked Christopher's Gymnasium Querfurt High School. This claim
is also false, libelous, slanderous and defamatory. I did attempt to email
senior staff and also called by phone but was unable to get in touch with
anyone except Mr. Mettin. I therefore have no idea if school staff know what
Mr. Mettin is up to as I have been unable to contact a responsible adult at
the school.

4) Mr. Mettin's claims that the PublicRoot Consortium does not exist are
false. The PublicRoot Consortium is organized as an unincorporated trust in
Canada.

5) Mr. Mettin's claims below that his schools only involvement with the
people who run the INAIC.com web site was to be "assigned a (top-level)
domain by a company affiliated with the Public Root Ltd." is false. The
top-level domain the Gymnasium Querfurt High School purchased from them is
GQNET - a copy of the whois for this domain is attached at the end of this
message as Appendix A.

But as members here have pointed out Mr. Mettin's forgot to mention that the
Gymnasium Querfurt High School also sells TLDs for these shell companies and
non existent organizations.

6) Mr. Mettin's claims that my actions resulted in the shut down of a
company are partially true. My actions resulted in the business failure of
at least three companies and the investigation of a number of individuals
for criminal acts being tax evasion and money laundering. Some individuals
involved in these investigations have settled with the Dutch tax
authorities.

We also had the full support of the Turkish Government and SITA, as well as
a number of other influential people, organization and countries. That
support evaporated when I when public and blew the whistle.

As a result of my actions fewer people ended up loosing their money in this
scam which was my intention.

7) Mr. Mettin's claims that I lie are also false, libelous, slanderous and
defamatory.

A few months ago my school has been attacked by this guy. He did already
make an entire company shut down. His best weapons are lies.

All that started when he was fired by the Public Root in 2005. We have been
assigned a domain by a company affiliated with the Public Root Ltd. and so
we became a major target to him. He sends his emails from a domain
publishing a website of a "PublicRoot Consortium" which does not exist. The
contact address of this consortium is a private home in an Ontarian suburb.
Sending emails using this domain he tries to make people believe he is an
official employee of the Public Root.

The IP addresses shall be in no way used with any root system.

Christopher Mettin
