One of the biggest lead generation scandals of the year is going to continue into 2010, but it is not going to leave 2009 without one more big break in the case.

A brief review of the case can be found here and here.

If you are familiar with the case you will remember that in Shin’s deceleration he claimed payment of $150,000, that mysteriously ended up in his bank account from LeadPoint, back to LG Technologies. According to new documents made public by the court, Shin is now being charged with Perjury and Contempt. According to bank statements provided by US Bank, the cashiers checks Shin claimed were made out to LG Technologies were actually made out to the Wynn Hotel. That is correct. Shin’s copy and paste skills were not enough to keep this lie out of the courts and could possibly destroy his whole defense.

This is a huge break for LG Technologies and clearly shows that Shin has lied at least once with details of is claims.

You can view the two court documents and the bad checks here and here.

In May of this year I revealed an interesting case between a lead generation company and a few of its key employees. The case, which you can read about here in my original post, included allegations of fraud, embezzlement and contract infringement, now has a few new updates to mention.

Today the Riverside County Sheriffs department has released information on their website (Case #TE092660124) that they have taken Edward Shin into custody. Shin has been given a $575,000 bail. Details below:

I am not an attorney nor have I ever studied the Law, but according to the court documents listed here (Once you log in you can search LG Technologies and the case info will come up) it would appear as though LeadPoint has also filed a cross complaint against Shin on 9/11/09. The details of this complaint are unknown, but I will keep you posted as the case proceeds and try to provide details when they are available.
