Quote from LincolnArmy:
Well I am ashamed to admit that I will probably cave-in and sign the letter.
I don't want to miss out on any potential future pay outs.
I think the letter stinks and have nothing but contempt for Giddens in this whole affair, but what are the other options? I don't see any info or support for not signing and we are stuck with this fucked up system full of liars and thieves. It obviously need changing, but missing out on having my stolen money returned will only result in me missing out on having my stolen money returned. Nothing else.
The judge said that you don't have to sign the letter to be entitled to future payouts. He is saying God-darns has no authority to not return money to people who don't sign if he returns it to people who do sign.
See early post in bold (page 2 on my screen).

As I get older I come to realize how important it is to establish our principles and then stand by them.
Using an example most people will not understand:
A few years back I watched a documentary on how Google was providing the technology to the Chinese govt to help them track down and jail those in China pushing for freedom of information or for democracy.
China is a brutal totalitarian regime (Tamenin square, murdering of Tibetan priests etc). Google was doing business with evil people for money.
And more recently Apple has been found to be using sweat-shop slave labor wages and armed guards to save a $1 on an iphone sold for $800.
I won't use gmail. I won't use Paypal (owned by Google). I won't use Chrome. I don't use "google" as a search engine.
I won't buy an ipod or iphone.
I won't buy Apple stock.
Perhaps inconvenient, perhaps different than the crowd.

When you bend your ethics an associate with bad people, your consciousness gets engaged with their consciousness - even if your association is only to do mental battle with them.
The lure (which is false I believe) of getting my stolen money back by dealing with bad people and signing - no not signing -
swearing with an oath (which Jesus forbade) - is not even an consideration for me.
If the mafia had stolen my money and then made me take an oath that they are nice people and if I did they might return some of my stolen money --- well no, not even an consideration for me.
I have been stolen from and cheated before.
It is part of being on the earth plane with many bad people around.
For myself the is no pressure and therefore nothing to "cave-in" to.
I have let it go.
-------
I will make money my clearing my head and focusing on my trading.
And doing this requires being free of running into the past mentally and hating bad people.
To be in touch with the force of Universal Good and Love one must remain in a positive loving vibration (state of mind). With God all is possible. ( With goodness and faith all is possible)
I hope this is of help to you - not just for this situation - but for others.
All the best and Happy trading!
