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>

<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>
<br>
