In November 2013 (Minnesota v. Prenda apparently shell AF Holdings was ordered to reimburse the settlements obtained from four alleged downloaders, in a judgment that concluded that there was no evidence that the allegations were true, that the copyright described was held, authentically or legally assigned by a correct signature, and that “the copyright assignment agreements [for] any claim in each of these five cases are not that, what they claim to be. Alan Cooper denies signing either of the two agreements and also denies giving anyone else the power to sign them on his behalf. AF Holdings was unable to provide credible evidence of the authenticity of the divestitures.
The court was the victim of fraud committed by AF Holdings. The court, as in other cases, referred the misconduct issues to “federal and state law enforcement agencies at the request of the U.S. Attorney General, the Minnesota Attorney General, and the Professional Liability Boards”[11] and noted that “the court expressly does not believe Steele`s testimony” to explain its use of Cooper`s signature. [82] The refund was set aside on appeal in March 2014 because the trial judge had exceeded the “inherent authority of the court” and the signatures had not been essential to the outcome.

After filing the lawsuit, the defendant`s lawyer then agreed with Prenda that Prenda could issue subpoenas to the defendant`s alleged “co-conspirators.” The defendant`s lawyer and Prenda`s lawyer then submitted an “agreed order” to the judge, which she immediately signed. TechDirt commented that “underfunded district court judges are happy when defendants and plaintiffs agree on something and (often) approve such agreements,”[100] and that this has allowed Prenda and its affiliates to issue subpoenas seeking the identities of countless hundreds or thousands of ISP subscribers, allowing Prenda to send hundreds or thousands of new “settlement” claims.

Hansmeier`s application for admission to the Ninth District Bar was also provisionally rejected by a court commissioner, citing his referral to professional legal and disciplinary committees, based on Judge Wright`s finding of “moral reprehensibility.” Hansmeier had applied to be admitted to the Ninth District bar to represent his wife in her class action lawsuit appeal, but was told he was not authorized to do so. [63] Meanwhile, Prenda`s main requirements for becoming a “learning module guide” are previous paid or volunteer experience working with children (or homeschooling your own children) and the ability to recruit students from at least two different families to start a micro-school.

Prenda is a multi-marketing school privatization program that requires its hired group leaders to recruit more students to enroll in its program, but has no requirement that these leaders have education training or teacher certification. It is shameful that Sununu gave this company a no-bid contract using federal COVID-19 assistance last year and agreed to pay them $5,000 per student – which is more than the average matching payment of $3,800 per student base granted to school districts – and now supports the renewal of Prenda, even if the initial results of the company do not get its first results. delivered. Even more egregiously, this program is sold by Commissioner Frank Edelblut to address potential learning losses for some of our most vulnerable students, but instead placed in environments with pod ladders that may not have an education.
