Update Message sent to Solid Investment Victims – 8/18/06



Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:



Thank you all once again for your many e-mail messages and telephone calls regarding the massive Solid Investment Ponzi scam. We are sending you this e-mail to give you a brief interim update regarding our efforts to recover on your behalf.



We have continued to press forward with the lawsuit we filed against Solid Investment and its operators. We anticipate having further developments in the lawsuit to report in early September.



As we have explained before, our goal is to obtain a recovery for every victim of this scam. We do need to move forward with the lawsuit, however, and cannot leave the registration process open indefinitely. Therefore, if you have not sent it already, we need to receive your accepted Power of Attorney on or before September 1, 2006. After that date, we will not be able to accept any new clients in this matter, and we will proceed to the next stages on behalf of our existing clients. (If you have sent your Power of Attorney, you do not need to do so again.)



Once again, if you know anyone who was swindled by this scam and has not yet contacted us, you may feel free to give them our contact information so that their claims may be included as well.



Thank you and best regards,
Scott Michael Hare
