John--Yes, $15,000 would settle this. Do you expect that you will have money to pay that after the Aug 20 auction you refer to? Thanks.

Howdy Mike,

Actually your timing is great. Searching is going up to auction this month on the 20th.

What was the amount we needed to close the deal? $15,000?

Thanks and hello Heather and Sven.

Searching went through a lawsuit last year that all but leveled the company. This created quite a few liabilities that needed to be cleaned up before we can proceed. At the same time I'm starting Searching I am now a consultant and have taken an interest in two side projects while I'm about to launch an online news channel and all of this while I am now running for Congress.... a crazy schedule to be certain.

I am interested in finishing the original deal and am now putting together a venture round for Searching that would cover your domain.

I will do what I can to speed this process and as I am turning over my companies to VC while I run for Congress and after if I win, this is occurring right now as I write this email.

Thanks and please hold tight as I see this finishing sooner than later and probably within the next sixty days or less.

Best regards,

John

John--Thanks for your April 16

email, which I am sharing with my client by means of including them in this response to you.

You end your April 16 by saying that you will contact me when you are ready to proceed.

Could you let me know when that may be. Thanks for your cooperation.

Certainly, Currently Searching, Inc., a WA Corporation is being closed.

There are bad people in the world and we met some of them. They convinced us to take the company offshore, a lawsuit ensued when I was not given proof of any ownership in this new entity as promised and when it became questionable howlegitimate it was to take it offshore. As Searching had also become deeply involved in the bittorrent space it seemed important to cut all ties to this old company now that the lawsuit is behind us and settled to our favor as of June last year and as we are no longer working in the torrent space. Searching and BitZip.com are being closed now and a new company is taking over assets.

GottsMedia, Corp., which is now being formed, and does not yet even have a bank account, will be the purchaser of the domain, not myself. I expect that we will have that together in short order and then it is just a matter of putting something together through an escrow, I suppose you would fill that purpose since you are billing your client's anyhow.

GottsMedia won't be using the domain as a destination site once acquired as we will do what google and others do with de.searching.com or searching.com/de and this is simply being acquired for re-direct traffic to whatever eventually becomes the German site. Also, with .EU being pushed and .ASIA it makes owning individual countries less not more attractive.

That said I will contact you again when we are ready to proceed.

Regards,

John

John--I've found over the years of doing what I do that it's best to be open and honest with people. That's all I was doing with my earlier email to you. I don't read it as a threatening email. My client wants me to get this resolved so I told you what I would have to do if I didn't hear from you.

Actually I tried to call you but the only number have is 503-961-xxxx but your tape there says to call you at the office. I don't know what your office number is.

Let me know what you want to do.

Mike,

Please don't EVER threaten me. The only thing you will find when coming after me is that I have nothing that actually "belongs" to me.

I.e., after many years of people trying to attach themselves to my money I don't have any that you can reach so if you choose to spend your client's money in that way you will turn me off more than you just have, I WON'T be buying the domain, and your client will be stuck with court costs that I certainly will never pay.

Ok? I will be in touch, I said I wanted the domain, I have an incredible schedule and you won't push yourself to the front of it with threats.

Comprende? I told you to talk to me like a person, not a defendant once. I won't tell you again.

John--I sent you the April 8 email, below, and thought that we would have this matter settled. Now I haven't heard from you. I need to hear from you right away.

If I don't, I will recommend to my client that we start suit. Please reply.
