Your efforts.
On the defendants behalf.
Will be welcomed and appreciated by many.
However, they won't resolve the matter finally or settle the bees.
Not until the honey is all back in the beehive, and the beekeeper is fully satisfied.
I'm afraid this Fora truly is the nearest thing to a genuine, Recording Industry Discussion Platform.
It's always been a tight knit field, but the dissipation of Large Studio's and the rise of Independent Producer Studios.
Mean this gathering of Professional Expertise, is an unparalleled resource, where members have an interdependently supportive relationship.
An act against one, is thus potentially, an act against everyone who posts here, that enjoy relationships, characterised by mutual respect and overriding trust.
Personally, I greatly value your intervention, and hope you can fully reconcile all the outstanding issues involved. That you have chosen to do this in your own time, speaks well of you.
But I am afraid it may be seen as a forlorn attempt to head off a direct legal confrontation over International Boundaries that will not be in the best interests of your client, in any way, shape or form.
You are attempting to act in the best interests of your client aren't you?
However.
That will obviously.
Not necessarily be in the automatic best interest of the Victims.
Who may well feel that in addition to the restoration of what was stolen or its true equal value today.
Very substantial compensation should be promptly forthcoming, to redress the lost time and money involved, for them.
In Recording Studio work, time equates to money very directly, quite apart from the emotional turmoil in dealing with all these matters.
I appreciate your post and all you are doing on your clients behalf, however if you believe that this is likely to make the Victims here, back right off.
I have to tell you, that their track record of dealing with miscreants, is to publicly crucify them, and be relentless in applying that pressure on a continuing basis.
You may have to rethink your stratagem.
Provided that's what it is.
Professionally.
Your client.
Is finished.
Quote : "This is not an anonymous forum."
Quite!
With respect to the individual involved.
As a trained and experienced representative of the legal profession.
It would have behoved him to have taken the elementary step of familiarising himself with the prerequisite Fora rules.
This lamentably appalling lack of respect for detail, does not bode well for his defendant, who will no doubt be fully relying on his Professional assiduity.
I write this.
Because although the plaintiff.
Will be severely distressed at the crime to his business.
David Kulka is known to be an 'Oak of Quality', both as a Man, and at his Profession.
We know what he stands for, what he is about, his Values, and Highly Regard Him by Hard Won Reputation.
Like us, he will be no doubt be distressed, but not perhaps surprised, to read of the defendants undeniable health problems.
However, it does remain to be seen whether surgery, that involves slicing away a section of Brain, will in fact, ever be finally enacted at all.
As a Conductor, I once gave the Pianist job, to a similarly afflicted individual for two Concerts at The Royal Albert Hall, he acquitted himself very well.
Furthermore the U.S. police force, like the British police force, do a very difficult job, and have at times to handle some extremely difficult to deal with people indeed.
If you feel that there is so strong a case against them, you will no doubt be handing your brief to a Barrister of International Law, and escalating the matter to a Higher Court altogether.
Rest assured, everyone hereabouts, will welcome the advancement and relish the looming confrontation. All Victims, naturally want to draw such matters, to a equitable, just and finally satisfactory conclusion.
But!
If you don't.
Then this is all obfuscation.
Designed to discombobulate opposition.
Preparation for a plea of Mitigating Circumstance.
What you haven't revealed to us, is what actions the defendant enacted.
To need to be met by such a tremendously robust response, from LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS!
Their job is to serve and protect the public, from those who for whatever reason, indulge in and inflict, CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.
So there are obviously.
Further crimes of which we were not previously cognisant.
That have been enacted by, and that the defendant, is clearly believed to be, personally responsible for.
I also note that Dan Schwartz another valued member of PSW also claims to have been stolen from by the defendant.
Thank you, for the helpful additional notification of these further crimes, that continue to strengthen the case, against your client.
They greatly assist in building the case for the prosecution, should these matters ultimately be brought to trial, as the plaintiff would obviously wish.
May I write that the concern and alarm, that I expressed earlier for the good of the defendant, is now far, far greater than ever before, as a result of your revealing letter.
But chiefly, because, YOU, it appears, will be acting on his behalf.
He truly is misfortunate!
Clearly, sorry as we are.
And deeply sympathetic as we might be, to anyone that suffers illness of any kind.
This in itself, is not adequate defence, nor absolves the individual concerned for the responsibility of restitution and recompensation, to those they have wronged.
Let alone, directly facing up to the dire consequences, the law demands of any successfully convicted criminal. Something according to your letter, the defendant is very earnest to do.
The fact that he has fled the Country in which he was liable to face up to those consequences, all mitigating circumstance aside, flies in the face of the sincerity, of that easy to make claim across an Oceans Depth.
To most of the people.
Involved in The Music Industry, their High Class Audio Equipment is something akin to a profoundly deep relationship, they treasure, covert and cherish, sometimes more so, than even human ones, if the truth be told.
The unassailable fact is, the reputation of the defendant is now so severely damaged in the Professional Audio Arena that short of an 'Angel', or 'Changing His Identity', it will be difficult for him to ever work successfully, in this field, ever again.
When you write "This would be of no concern to me as it is merely the internet. It is not real life." it is vituperating, disingenuous, hyperbole. Why would a Legal Representative bother to write such a lengthy defence of his Client, in a place of no genuine consequence?
The many thousands of Hit's perhaps?
Many individuals.
That work in The Music Industry, have some form of debilitating illness. Often this is most readily exhibited in difficult to comprehend and control, complexes and incredibly disturbing personality disorders, which those of us highly experienced in dealing with Powerful Artistic Temperaments, have observed, and robustly dealt with for years.
But they do not steal from their employers and their clients, nor flee countries to escape the consequences.
The absolute truth is, some of them seem to be far more trouble altogether!
I believe.
Everyone here will wish the defendant, a speedy full recovery, from all his many ills.
Not least because, he may be able to face the full consequences of his crime, all the sooner.
Something your letter suggests, he is ardently passionate about, thus I'm sure, will not want to resist!
We look forward, to hearing confirmation, this is so.
