<br>Dear Christopher and ARIN community:<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>For the record I will now respond to the allegations made against me by Mr. Mettin.<br>
<br>1) I am not an "Internet terrorist". This claim by Mr. Mettin below is not only false but seriously libelous, slanderous and defamatory.<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br><br>As a result of my actions fewer people ended up loosing their money in this scam which was my intention.<br>
<br>7) Mr. Mettin's claims that I lie are also false, libelous, slanderous and defamatory.<br><br>regards<br>joe baptista<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Nov 28, 2009 at 8:55 PM, Christopher Mettin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cmettin@gqbc-online.com" target="_blank">cmettin@gqbc-online.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
A few months ago my school has been attacked by this guy. He did already<br>
make an entire company shut down. His best weapons are lies.<br>
<br>
All that started when he was fired by the Public Root in 2005. We have been<br>
assigned a domain by a company affiliated with the Public Root Ltd. and so<br>
we became a major target to him. He sends his emails from a domain<br>
publishing a website of a "PublicRoot Consortium" which does not exist. The<br>
contact address of this consortium is a private home in an Ontarian suburb.<br>
Sending emails using this domain he tries to make people believe he is an<br>
official employee of the Public Root.<br>
<br>
The IP addresses shall be in no way used with any root system.<br>
