Divided US SEC Approves Whistleblower Rule
Mr. Betancourt must be smiling.
interesting how wael al mazeedi keeps reconfiguring his btupower.com website (you can also find it as litigation.btupower.com)toward who knows what end. under the "News" section he's put in a bunch of "filler" comprised of old (going back to 2006) PR releases regarding BTU's Managing Partner (wael, of course).
does he think people actually read those posts?
it is actually very telling that the only "News" for the past 5 yrs or so regarding BTU Power are releases regarding Al Mazeedi's speaking engagements..
TREMENDOUS track record indeed.
No one read those posts. No one cares.
All talk, no results! (TM)
Ms. (Former) BTU/QGEN Energy Manager of Operations Andrea Lyons.
Check out her site.
http://www.bringbackdesire.com/
And why was she hired for BTU/QGEN? Does Mitsue know about this?
Al-Mazeedi Patent Count = 0
Is he an Expert in energy field = 0, I think not.
I heard a rumor that Ms. Christina Stephens is collecting UNEMPLOYMENT! Can anyone confirm?
I wonder how she will pay for lawyer fees now? (Most likely Al-Mazeedi's investors will, or will they?)
Will she ever repay the debts that Mr. Al-Mazeedi paid off her personal credit card debts.
Also heard rumor also about C. Stephens being terminated or fired. Wael is always playing games with the Courts, investors, government agencies, Hayat, etc. to avoid being held accountable and continue control of money for his own use. C. Stephens has always helped him along in all his schemes. Wondering if they are pulling-off another farce since they have upcoming depositions, discovery, etc...
Saw payroll figures and C. Stephens' total compensation was higher than many employees at BTU even though she was an admin assistant with high school education. Likely reason for high pay was all she helped Wael pull-off.

That is all the current and past employees/contractors smiling above!
Our new tag line on this blog should be
"The SHIT will hit the fan soon. Before July 1, 2011"
So, if J. Commodore lied in his affidavit what happens?
Will C. Stephens tell the truth in her deposition or will she tell Wael's version of the truth? Has she been coached by WilmerHale as to what to say? All these years of cooperation and she is out of the company a few weeks before her deposition! What a coincidence. It's just too convenient.
It's hard to believe that Wael would risk having Christina fending for herself (I'm sure he is not worried about her, he is worried about Wael).
Knowing Christina and Wael, WAM's probably convinced her (and she definitely believes) that the best way she can help him is by pretending to be fired and cut loose.
I'm sure there is some good compensation involved. Wael likes the convenience of offshore bank accounts in Monaco and wire transfers. HSBC I believe. The bank that handled a lot of the payments to BTU regarding Meiya.
I'm sure wael thinks he is going to "pull this off" He used to boast that he was bullet-proof. That the schemes that Maples & Calder and WilmerHale came up with made him untouchable.
So far,he is right.
He has, and has always had, people working for him at BTU, QGEn, etc. that have helped him. Sometimes they knew "everything" and pretended not to see, sometimes they didn't know and never bothered to find out.
After all, who doesn't want to work for the Chariman, CEO, President, Managing Partner, Director, etc of the companies that are going to transform the world (and earn a good salary at the same time)?
More BTU and QGEN people need to be willing to say to the court what they know about those companies. If Almazeedi's truth as he tells it to the court and the ACTUAL truth are the same then, NO WORRIES for everybody.
Maybe people know that there will be differences.
I think Mr. Wael Al-Mazeedi's "bullet-proof protection" is gone because of former IT Manager Mr. Murphy being deposed, soon. The "evidence" video in the Massachusetts Federal Court helps Mr. Betancourt claims.
Roll the dice! He "bullet-proof" vest is old!
Murphy is the "Armor Piercing Bullet".
Deposition question for Mr. Murphy.
1. Did Mr. Al-Mazeedi do anything that your would call "illegal or unethical"?
2. Did Ms. Christina Stephens do anything that your would call "illegal or unethical"?
Is it true that Ms. Christina Stephens is having an Al-Mazeedi baby? Was that why she was fired?
What a strange bunch!
Questions for Murphy.
3. Did Mr. Al-Mazeedi ask you to do anything "illegal or against any law"?
4. Did Weal Al-Mazeedi destroy information (Data)?
5. How many cellphones did Mr. Al-Mazeedi, Ms. Stephens own? What kind?
6. Have you seen anyone still working for Wael? since your layoff?
7. What kind of access did Ms. Christina Stephen have? Could she walk out with anything?
8. Who was in charge of the HR Department during your time? Almost 2 years, right?
9. Did Mitsue Oishi access Mr. Betancourt's Office afterhours?
10. Did Ms. Christina Stephens access Mr. Betancourt's Office afterhours?
11. Did Mr. Wael Al-Mazeedi access Mr. Betancourt's Office afterhours?
12. What did you deposit in Federal Court?
13. Please explain in detail.
14. What is the status of your case?
15. What was offered to you when you were given a layoff notice?
16. Who made the offer?
17. Did you have lunch with former employees of BTU?
18. What did you talk about?
19. Do you still keep in touch with any current/former employees?
20. Why do you think BTU hasn't gone "public" as QGEN on the London Stock exchange, as the story is repeated every 2 years?
21. Do you know anything about stocks?
22. Do you own any BTU or QGEN domains?
23. If so, how much did you pay for them? Would you sell them back to Al-Mazeedi?
24. Do you work or contract for the US Federal Government?
25. Do you have TOP SECURITY Clearance?
26. Do you have access to Mr. Al-Mazeedi's current IT systems? email? Firewall? Backup?
27. Is it true that former IT Manager Mr. Cris Thomas, whom quit was called into as a consultant when you work there?
28. Does he still have access?
29. Where does he work? Live?
30. What was he hired to do?
31. (((This list could go on forever)))
I know he owns the qgen domain.
For a few dollars a year, I would too.
ONLY 14 days left for Al-Mazeedi to be deposed. Time is not on his side.
Blogger, you should have a 14 business days count down at least in the Mr. Betancourt case, right?
No more delays is what the Judge said.
No updates? Why is this blog so quiet?
The calm before the storm.
14 business days left.
WAM has been "noticed" to be deposed in US Federal Court before the end of the Betancourt discovery (extended) period (July 1, 2011). Christina Stephens has also been "noticed" to be deposed before Jul 1.
Al-Mazeedi has deposed many people in his efforts to validate his conspiracy theories (anybody even remotely close to BTU/QGEN will know WHO is still in charge and how much weight those shrill conspiracy shrieks carry).
As has been noted elsewhere in this blog, there will be no more "extensions" granted in case somebody has a tummy ache and wants to put-off HIS/HER deposition.
What are the odds that WAM will actually allow himself to be deposed... ANY and ALL questions are FAIR GAME...
I think he will run and let everything close down.
LET US ALL SIGN!

Whoever is deposing Al-Mazeedi should make sure to follow-up on the connections and relationships between Wael Al-Mazeedi and Khaled Al-Muhairy, Aref Kooheji, and Majed Halawi. Blogger has raised some very intriguing possibilities regarding Al-mazeedi's dealings with those people. The true relationship between Khaled Al-Muhairy and Wael Al-Mazeedi would shed light on the veracity of Al-Mazeedi's claims to the court in the Hayat litigation. Kooheji's claims regarding BTU and his sudden departure from DIB should be addressed might be interesting as far as Meiya Power Company is concerned. Probably the more interesting link is Majed Halawi's role in the purchase of Carthage Power Company (working for BTU and Carthage Power Company at the same time while the purchase was being negotiated!!!0
"FOLLOW THE MONEY"
The Al-Mazeedi depositions should ask about the source of the money WAM is spending on QGEN. QGEN does not have any power plants, desalination plants, hybrid solar plants, space-based plants beaming energy to earth, etc... In other words, it has NO sources of revenue.
How does Al-Mazeedi pay for employees, leases, travel(a big portion of monthly expenses when I was at BTU was related to WAM's personal top of the line travel accommodations, computers, etc. etc. for QGEN?
Get WAM to declare "on the record" that QGEN:
1. has no assets
2. has no sources of revenue
3. is spending "XYZ's" money for QGEN
Anybody who's read this blog or done some independent research on the internet will find out the obvious answers: no assets, no revenues, money from somebody else.
Yes. A very straightforward set of questions:
How much money have YOU (the multiple companies that are actually ALL Wael) received from Middle East investors? How much money have you returned to them? How much money have you or your multitu8de of companies spent?
His investors from Qatar, Dubai, Bahrain, Kuwait? Saudi Arabia? would probably want to know all this. They know how much money they sent him and how much money they have (or haven't) received.
so who is Glenn Sampson and why is he seemingly so "close" to Al-Mazeedi? a short time back he was not even listing QGEN as his employer (he is technically a contractor)
according to linkedin he used to work for noble environmental power. is that the same noble that james commodore used to work for?
since james commodore is a good buddy of WAM and has helped wael in his litigation it makes sense that other people that might be associated with noble would also be a bood buddy of wael
People in the office have told me, Mr. Commodore should have been reported to the MA Bar, but he never took the MA bar exam. They told me he will not enjoy what other former employees will say in open court about his actions. Mr. Commodore was an employee and a lawyer for BTU/QGEN.
As the blogger says on this blog "Deposition can sealed" but public State or Federal Courtrooms have reporters and open to the public.
If I were the remaining lawyers for BTU/QGEN, I would be very afraid of what comes out in open court from these 3 peoples mouths.
Mr. Betancourt
Mr. McBreathy
Mr. Murphy
Mr. Hayat was before Mr. Commodore time.
Didn't Glenn Sampson fall off his bike! Isn't he the one they hired to design plants but falls off his bike that he rides to work.
Thank god he works at Dinseyland Waltham!
So where in the world is Ms. Christina Stephens working now?
She must be collecting still. Who would hire HER!? Oh wait, I know someone who did.
What does her resume say?
•Got coffee/tea
•Got dry cleaning
•Got debt paid off
•Got fired
How does that saying go....the shit is going to hit the fan soon. But this case the fan is made of shit!
Today, I heard news that she go knocked up. I try not to listen. My blinders and earplugs are in all the time.
That Husky German is Ms. Christina Stephens. I'm a little slow readying english. To many comments to read.
Her vehicle is being tracked way before her rear bumper issue she had. She will never find it.
It was the one with the "Special Forces" sticker across the back window. Did she drive a tank for them?
Drove vehicle and she had no clue who I was.
Gotta love f*&king with someone who isn't going to enjoy the inside of a courtroom soon.
Yes, she is still unemployed. And some people should never have kids. Can you imagine how much larger she will be. Ain't that a bitch!
The real question, if it is true, who would hit that!?!?!?!? Some pretty BIG BEER GOOGLES!
Is that the old Jeep or did she get a new car???? I remember that Christina and Ian (Al-Mazeedi's principal assistants) had crap cars (Ian drove a Toyota Avalon or Camry) while Wael was driving an Audi before and a Porsche Cayenne now...
Is she still living in Reading, MA?
Status update:
Thought it'd be of interest to people that I'm working on the questions that'll be asked in Wael Al-Mazeedi's as well as Christina Stephens' separate depositions.
There is a tremendous amount of personal and indirect information/knowledge to draw from in order to formulate questions.
In other words, there are MANY, MANY things that can be asked of Al-Mazeedi and Stephens.
: )
Ms. Christina Stephens rented an apartment, I thought it was Belmont MA. Soon we will know, she will be deposed and they will ask her.
Where do you live?
Where do you work, currently? Or not employed?
my guess is that almazeedi's deposition will not be very long. it should take only about a dozen or so questions to show all the contradictions and fatal flaws in almazeedi's statements to courts, investors, etc. this blog has already analyzed a bunch of disconnects on the basis of publicly available info. imagine what's going to happen when people like hayat and betancourt get to ask questions based on their first-hand knowledge.
almazeedi should be jumping at the chance to have the world hear the truth from his mouth. kind of strange that he's put off the chance to do this by rescheduling his deposition numerous times.
Will the details of court hearing be made public?
His time is running out.
So July 1, 2011 is coming too fast. So if a deposition takes place it will be GAME OVER for all of us here in the office.
It does explain the worried look he has on his face.
I bet he walks away to Logan International Airport and just leaves the country.
Can you say UNEMPLOYMENT for the summer? I think everyone is thinking it, but no one has the balls to say it.
I noticed someone in the CEO area, but I didn't want to report it, just kept my head down.
I found a note under my Apple keyboard, but did not report it to anyone. Someone has access inside the office.
I wouldn't dare tell anyone. But here to this blog is easier since they read is all the time.
What did it say?
FBI business card. It said to call a phone number.
LOL. I thought it would have been a QGEN card! LOL
I figured it was the agent MILLI VANILLI.

Listen to the lyrics people is this the Ms. Stephens song to her old boss?
Maybe Al-Mazeedi should watch this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GynEFV4hsA0
I remember that former IT Manager Murphy converted him over to 2 iPhones.
Who is Wael Al-Mazeedi's notary public now that Christina Stephens seems to not be around anymore? She notarized numerous legal documents filed in support of his litigation.
Also, if she's not around anymore and she's being deposed how can Wael make sure she says the "right things"?
Given his bicycle-riding skills its probably a "good thing" that Glenn Sampson has not designed any new "real" power plants (under construction or operational). Just the ones that exist in WAM's dreams and tales. the laws of physics and thermodynamics don't apply in dreamland.
Before reaching any conclusions regarding Glenn everybody should visit the QGEN website to find out about all their world-leading power and desalination plants. By the sounds of everything he must have been critical to building out this portfolio.
There must be directions r3egarding visits to their operational assets... They are, after all, spearheading their way into the future.
Except, that QGEN only has a poorly drawn map of "target markets" Maybe Brad Dillman or Judy "whatever" can draw a powerpoint graphic to represent almazeedi's "property" on the Monopoly board.
Alex U. is his notary public, not sure he would do any for Wael.
Love the "Dreamland" quote above.
Ms. Judy Whipple still there?
Love the funny ass quote: See http://www.qgenenergy.com/careers.htm
"Working at QGEN is a way of life, not simply a job."
I would say it is just a job. I would assume that so many people have flipped thru there, it is a way of life that most don't care for.
6 years ago, we were told that he was going Public and we would all get a % of the public stock. Never going to happen. Same story, same results, just different people working there.
I agree with the "Dreamland" quote too!
I wonder how much time and money Dreamland is spending on lawyers.
No shit. Judy still there. Brad too.
Yes, they both still work here doing Power Pointless presentations.
Don't tell anyone I told you that!
Great graphics, but it is PowerPoint boring.
PATENT UPDATE:
Date: # of patents filed:
June 21, 2011 NONE
Again, when is he being depose? Mr. Al-Mazeedi
I hope it is a video deposition.
Is Ms. Stephens a video deposition too? When is her scheduled?
WAM... in a couple of days.
Unless someone can tell us that he was called away out of the country on an emergency because his dog died in Kuwait or there's a medical emergency cause he ate some spoiled hot dogs.
If Betancourt is smart he will hit Wael with questions focused on Betancourt's sealed affidavit. There's gotta be a reason why Wael and WilmerHale wanted that affidavit sealed about 2 yrs ago
Where there's smoke there is fire
i would bet good money that Wael and Wilmer did not even touch on any of the issues in the sealed affidavit in betancourt's depositions because they didn't want betancourt to state anything on the record about that.
Well, Wael can't escape that now
Mr, Betancourt, the BTU Whistleblower:
My money is on you! You can save some of your money and bring in Commodore and Murphy in Federal Court.
Please let Commodore be questioned first then Murphy.
I worked with them both. Mr. Commodore will get his ass handed to him by real lawyers questions. Then call Murphy to the stand.
Murphy- most likely will be more than willing to answer any and all questions in open court in front of a Jury. I doubt that WAM would want that since he will tell the truth. Save your money deposing Murphy and do it in open court.
Murphy is out about an estimated $80K in legal bills. Wael has made it personal against Murphy but I don't think Wael understand Murphy at all. He will defend himself as most likely with laser focus. And that is why I think open court is the best place to question Murphy. Jury's will love it.
Keep us all up-to-date. I will be there to watch in court.
Good point about Murphy. I would want to hear what he has to say about Mr. Betancourt's case in open court. No filtering by lawyers.
It will be very interesting.
Remind me what exactly Murphy deposited in Federal Courts and why?
http://btuinformation.blogspot.com/2011/01/christina-stephens-and-btu-ventures-btu.html
It is here.
The best line is "[footnote 1] "Mr. Murphy’s preference for securing evidence with the Court is well founded. On November 30, 2009 he notified the plaintiffs’ CEO, Wael Al-Mazeedi by letter of his claims against BTU of unlawful discharge, wage violations and audio surveillance in violation of M.G.L. c. 272, § 99. Mr. Murphy’s counsel later learned from BTU’s counsel (not counsel of record in this action) that digital video captured by BTU’s surveillance system on December 3—video which, Mr. Murphy will testify, shows BTU’s preparations to conduct illegal audio surveillance on Martin Betancourt—had been overwritten and no longer existed on BTU’s computers. Fortunately, Mr. Murphy had prepared a cd backup of the December 3, 2008 video surveillance while he was IT Manager at BTU, with responsibility for the surveillance system. That cd backup, which now appears to be the only surviving video evidence of the events on December 3, 2008, is among the materials Mr. Murphy deposited with the Court January 11, 2010."
Great move by Mr.Murphy and his lawyer to deposit the evidence into Federal Court.
I wonder if Mr. Betancourt or his lawyer has been granted access to this evidence? It appears the Federal Court Judge would share this information.
I bet BTU didn't see that move coming from Murphy.
6 MORE DAYS left! Deadline for depositions of Mr. Weal Al-Mazeedi to take place. Or has it?
The key is "Mr. Murphy will testify".
5 days left! The countdown to the deadline continues.
I would have to agree that the most important thing about these cases is that "Mr. Murphy will testity".
Any person being sued should just call in Mr. Murphy into court to take the stand.
I'm positive within a few questions, they would want to settle all of these cases.
UPDATE: Patents

Why waste all the money and resources on nothing to protect? The smart people are all gone.
Is Faisal Khan still there?
Yes.
Interesting note: new location has access cards listed as Fate Consortium head quarters. But QGEN Energy...
The Anonymous.
What ever happened to the driver of Mrs. Oishi (Mrs. Wael Al-Mazeedi's wife)? Did they fire him too?
She is driving herself now. The babyseat is installed in the backseat too of her car.
The anonymous employee.
This week will be very interesting. Will we all get fired July 1, 2011?
The anonymous employee.
4 Days to go?
Has a date been confirmed yet for Mr. Al-Mazeedi?
Any excuses yet?
Dates have been confirmed... However, dates have been confirmed before...
The judge said no more extensions...
If Al-Mazeedi had a "valid" excuse to delay HIS deposition, he would have filed a Motion to Enlarge the Time for Discovery...
He hasn't filed such a motion.
Our guess is that he's rescheduled his deposition until the last possible day.
If he doesn't show up (due to a tummy-ache, athlete's foot, or some other similar acute medical anomaly), Betancourt's (or any other deponents) lawyers will surely submit a Motion to Compel and a request for sanctions (or something legally similar)...
You can't miss a court date at this stage and bring a note from your Mom as to why you were absent that will make everything OK again...
Speculation should focus on the fact that he would try to settle with Murphy because it's to Al-Mazeedi's advantage to do so... However, Al-Mazeedi may or may not come to a settlement with Murphy. Nevertheless, that is moot.
The fact that Murphy preserved the video that shows C. Stephens placing listening devices is a tremendous accomplishment. Al-Mazeedi will have to acknowledge in court that he TOLD C. Stephens to do that or he will have to figuratively "thrown her under the bus" and say that C. Stephens did all this under her own initiative...
Depending on Al-Mazeedi's decisions, C. Stephens will have to defend them both... Or have to look after her own HIDE...
Please ask Mr. Al-Mazeedi:
1) Did you own any voice-activated recorders or electronic devices that record audio?
2) Did you own cellphone(s)?
3) Did you ever illegally record any current, past, former employees, contractors or anyone without their knowledge with either voice-activated recorders or your cell phone or any device?
4) Did you record any other Public/Private CEO of other companies for any reason?
5) Have you deposed Mr. Murphy, your former IT Manager that submitted the video into Federal Court? Have you watched the video? What does the video show?
6) Did you settle with Murphy? Why or why not?
7) Why did you fire Ms. Christina Stephens?
8) Did you ever employ or hire Ms. Christina Stephens's father, Mr. Michael Stephens for a monthly fee?
9) Isn't it true that he was the "HEAD OF SECURITY for BTU/qgen GROUP" when Betancourt, Murphy, Commodore and other where employed with you?
10) Mr. Michael Stephens told a few people that he "Was an FBI Agent"? Do you know if this is true?
11) Is that why you hired him? Did you do a background check on him? Cori? etc.?
12) Are you aware he was a "Rent-a-cop" head of security at the FBI Academ, NOT an agent, no criminal law degree etc?
13) Did you pay some bloggers to "Call yourself and "EXPERT in the Field" using old 2004-2006 news recently?
14) So it is fair to say the "Mr. Michael Stephens was an EXPERT in his field of security, is that why you hired him? How much did you pay him to allow 3 people to have access under his "BTU Head of Security" title at your companies?
Great questions!
I heard that he told a few people that, but Mr. Murphy checked and he was not an FBI agent.
Ms. Christina Stephens had a "Special Forces" sign on her back window of her vehicle. It was a big joke.
The best best comment recently on this blog is "Murphy will testify."
I will be sitting in the court house reporting on this.
I second that "Murphy will testify"!
The Court House will be filled with local news including NBC Dateline. About "Cayman Island Companies". Found this blog, great source of public information.
Thank God we live in a FREE SPEECH Country.
No more extensions!
I hope that you call in Mr. Perkins, Mr. Murphy's lawyer to ask a few questions.
Mr. Al-Mazeedi had 7 lawyers going after Murphy, and the one/only Lawyer Mr. Perkins had Murphy submit everything into Federal Court. Mr. Perkins has a solid background experience questioning CEO.
Regarding the BETANCOURT litigation.
Discovery to end July 1, 2011, followed by Status Conference July 19, 2011.
from PACER site:
Full docket text:
NOTICE Resetting a Hearing. Status Conference set for 7/19/2011 02:30 PM in Courtroom 25 before Magistrate Judge Marianne B. Bowler. (Garvin, Brendan)
Dateline NBC will be there? Why?
What about the other cases? PACER site?
Dateline?
They must be doing a story on "Cayman Island Companies" and I think they must have found this blog very interesting. I wonder who called them?
Earlier comments from people at QGEN, FateConsortium, BTU Industries, BTU Ventures (you get the picture) mentioned that they were advised/instructed not to put their profile in LinkedIn due to the fact that (in Wael's words) "there are many people out there trying to bring us down"
http://www.linkedin.com/pub/btu-ventures/30/853/9b9
Wael and Mitsue and BTU Ventures, BTU Industries, BTU Group have their own profile in LinkedIn...
Their profile shows 0 (zero) connections, however... Maybe Betancourt, Murphy, McBrearty, Hayat, IFIC should send connection requests to them.
The old maxim "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" comes back in full force...
LinkedIn profile, Twitter account, Blogs all over the web... Al-Mazeedi must sure want that people who search for him, his wife, or his business ventures in the internet wind up in one of his "sites"
I think murphy, betancourt, and mcbrearty requested jury trials. Don't know if hayat did the same. Looks like we might have a summer/fall with 1, 2, 3, or 4 trials starring WAM. They are going to have to figure out some logistics so WAM's not called to testify in all 4 at the same time...
so, was al-PONZIdi deposed or not. when will we know?
I guess Al-Mazeedi thought everybody he's sued would be gone by now, especially with Wilmer Hale helping him in all these lawsuits.
Hayat sued Sep 07: going on for 3 yr 9 mo
Betancourt sued Feb 09: going on for 2 yr 4 mo
McBrearty sued Jul 09: going on for almost 2 yr
Murphy sued Jan 10: going on for 1 yr 6 mo
Guess nobody is going away. Hayat probably has tons of money. The others probably have limited resources but they keep going.
I think Hayat is the only one who can really bring WAM down financially given the nature of the lawsuit.
What do you guys think?

I hear that Murphy's lawyer is working pro bono on the Federal Case.
It would explain the very professional legal services that he has received defending himself in Federal Court.
Is spite of WAM's bluster, the one thing HE can not dictate or control in ANY way, shape, or form is this blog... We are ready to take this forum and message to an even broader audience... To use a "hackneyed" expression: we want to "kick this up a notch"...
This must drive him a little nuts.... We have data (thanks to Google Analytics) to show that he's our most consistent and reliable visitor...
Keep this name in mind: Majed Halawi
Also, based on earlier comments, it's clear Judy Whipple and Brad Dillman ("Graphics" dept for Wael Al-Mazeedi) need a refresher course on copyright infringement.
WE actually have a lot of information showing that they've been doing this since "time eternal"...
BTW... we've made PDF copies of ALL of WAM's QGEN, BTU Ventures, etc. websites... We'll post them shortly. We'll go back an discuss ZAUM. This is the a purveyor of Women's handbags as well as the company he hired to create QGEN's corporate image.

WAM's a popular guy. The last time we published stats from Google there were about 35 countries that had "visited"... now there are 61
/when is Chubby McFattie going to be deposed. Stephens, Commodore???
I want to know when he will be in court.
I is worth a few vacation days to see him and Ms. Christina Stephens.
I would say that 61 countries are reading this awesome blog on PUBLIC INFORMATION from the Internet and organized nicely here.
Nice job!
Who is "Keep this name in mind: Majed Halawi "?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let all of the past employees know when this goes to State or Federal Court. I think we should fill up the courtrooms with all former employees. We can smile at once.
How does that saying go "Karma is a Bitch!"
Mr. Betancourt is under a confidential agreements and protective orders so that CEO Wael Al-Mazeedi deposition cannot be talked about.
FACT: a Video Deposition is submitted to the court
FACT: a transcript will be created for a Jury to read. (PDF)
FACT: Mr. Betancourt will receive that in PDF form he as a right to it. As when Mr. Betancourt's deposition was completed, it was provided to Al-Mazeedi. Only fair, right?
I think Mr. Betancourt should copy it to a USB Pen Drive to keep if off his personal computers.
Just think if that USB Pen drive was lost and found by a local news station. Or if someone breaks into Mr. Betancourt's car while in court and find that pdf.
Just thinking out loud. Nothing is truly PROTECTED NOR CONFIDENTIAL.
Blogger: "BTW... we've made PDF copies of ALL of WAM's QGEN, BTU Ventures, etc. websites... We'll post them shortly."
You should feature the "Patent pending line from QGEN Energy." 0 applied + 0 pending + 0 granted = ZERO 0 NADA. So what is the value of this PRIVATE, DELAWARE/CAYMAN ISLAND/WALTHAM MA company?
I have 1 Billion reasons that it will never be a BILLION Dollar company. To long to list, but WAM BAMM THANK YOU MAN!
Our current office has as many hidden video/audio recorders as a casino. The problem here is that we have all dealers but no people! Hence no new money is coming.
Back to work now before they find out who I am.
Do they still have Friday Office takeout lunches? Man did those suck. Food would get delivered around 11:45 a.m. and it would just still out a get room temperature. Then around 1:00 - 1:20 p.m. we were allowed to start eating. It wasn't healthy meals ever.
WAM deposition or no WAM deposition, it's easy to figure out where the money's coming from to keep all his balloons afloat: QGEN Ltd (Caymans), QGEN USA Inc (Delaware), BTU Industries Ltd (Caymans), BTU Industries Holdings USA Inc (Delaware), BTU Ventures Inc (Delaware), BTU Holdings Company (Caymans), BTU Power Management (Caymans), BTU Islamic Portfolio (Caymans), BTU Power Company (Caymans), FateConsortium (Mars), etc.
Only two power plants generate revenues and dividends, Carthage Power Company and Taweelah Asia Power Company.
These dividends should be going to Dubai Islamic Bank, Qatar National Bank, Qatar Investment Authority.
Only WAM decides whether they go there or NOT.
The dividends could end soon.
Tunisia and UAE could take over them and leave WAM without this endless money supply.
Somewhere on this blog, I heard that WAM can be fired and replaced after 10 years. If true, it will happen soon.
How many kids does Al-Mazeedi have?
The question is there another one coming?
Google it and you will find out.
Google what?
BLOGGER: Deadline was today?
Was Mr. Wael Al-Mazeedi deposoed?
Was Ms. Christina Stephens deposed?
??? Was he deposed?
So the deadline to be deposed happened, now did they or did that not?
Now what happens?
You mean, did they happen or not?
The bloggers should know since they would be there.
So let all of us know.
Almazeedi... deposition... DONE.
Stephens... deposition.. yet to come.
from Wikipedia: "In law, a deposition is the out-of-court oral testimony of a witness that is reduced to writing for later use in court or for discovery purposes. In many countries, depositions are given in courtrooms. In the United States and Canada, they are usually taken elsewhere. A minority of U.S. states, like New York, refer to the deposition as an "examination before trial" (EBT). Deposition is the preferred term in U.S. federal courts and in the majority of U.S. states, like California, because depositions are sometimes taken during trial in a number of unusual situations. For example, in some states, the litigation process may be drastically accelerated if the plaintiff is dying from a terminal illness.
In law, interrogatories (also known as requests for further information) are a formal set of written questions propounded by one litigant and required to be answered by an adversary, in order to clarify matters of fact and help to determine in advance what facts will be presented at any trial in the case."
I'll (actually, WE the bloggers) ask of anybody out there... what do you think the outcome was of Wael Al-Mazeedi's deposition... you can compel Wael to answer but he will answer based on his "version" of the truth...
How many power plants do QGEN and BTU Industries have... If Wael wants to say 97, that is a matter of record but that's all it is... the judge is not going to "benchslap" him now... besides, if he said 97 Judy and Brad will drawn them on a map using PowerPoing... and so, for all intents and porpoises, it becomes reality...
we are just speculating but many of the people that Wael or Wael's HR group eventually end up recruiting are either recently (or not-so-recently) unemployed or H1B dependent... meaning those are very pliable candidates... Wael's offer of employment is the ticket out of uncertainty
Dear McLayton,
Your posted above are right on the money.
Mr. Brad Dillman and Ms. Judy Whipple (contractor), just draw away. They are "Amaerica" slaves as Kawuit slaves that Wael loves.
They never questions because they don't care as long as the check clears.
PowerPointless presentations with no real research. What makes someone an expert in the energy field, if they don't know basics of electricity or basic engineering background.
The real question is after millions of modified presentations being presented. Not one person watched and say "WOW I want to INVEST with _____, NOT!"
How many years can you keep pitching the same boring PowerPointless without one person.
You can just laugh and think the Investors must be watching this:
MONEY FOR NOTHING - Dire Straits!

Dear McLayton,
The "Wael's HR group" is only 1 person!
They call her the HR Manager. Although, they do not manage anyone any more, they keep the appearance that more people work under them.
I know because I'm in the office today.
She will be let go soon like the rest.
HR Managers last at most 2 years, the ave is 8-11 months.
About as long as the lawyers he employed.
Wait until Federal Court in the Betancourt case goes public around here. The deposition of the CEO will clearly be something that will be out in the press when it goes to trial.
My prediction, as a lawyer, Mr. Martin Betancourt wins against his former employer.
Don't tell Wael that I said that since he has outstanding invoices to be paid. The real bills will be coming faster than he can bring it in.
I agree, Mr. Betancourt will win.
As a Lawyer say I think I can say that in cases like this, Mr. Betancourt has a solid case against his former CEO.
As a whistleblower, he will expose evidence in open court that both a jury and any citizens of MA in court including courthouse news reporters will be able to hear and publish anything repeated in the courtroom.
If Mr. Al-Mazeedi wants to stay in business he should learn not waste the time of the courts.
I guess someone should mail him the Cry Wolf book.
If I were one of his lawyers, I would drop all the cases and settle them. It appears living in the past and fighting people of your past are basically going to kick you where it hurts in open court. All the CONFIDENTIAL and PROTECTIVE Orders mean nothing when the trail starts.
Does he need better lawyers? It appears that Mr. Hayat, Mr. Betancourt and Mr. Murphy has solid lawyers working for their clients. They appear to have less resources, but are getting a better return on their investment in defending their clients and defending their rights.
Is it true Mr. Al-Mazeedi is NOT a US CITIZEN? How many years has he been in this country and doesn't have the time to become a US Citizen?
Is that one reason no one bites at his pitch?
Is that why NO money has come in under Mr. Al-Mazeedi's management?
Do investors care? I'm not one, by the way.
This blog quintessential for all lawyers since current and former employees/contractors appear to be posting here, it can dig up any and all issues before heading into a courtroom.
Great job bloggers.
The bloggers on here have very interesting information.
The video has been subpoenaed by Betancourt's lawyer. The video will be part of C. Stephens' deposition. There is no protective order in place regarding C. Stephens' deposition. Wael Al-Mazeedi can't put one in place for her. Additionally, C. Stephens has listed her profession numerous times as "Manager of the Chairman's Office" or something to that effect... Pretty highfalutin title... Means that she wanted to tell the world that she had exclusive and unfettered access to that Chairman of the Board that towers above all others... Mr. Wael Al-Mazeedi... SHE MUST KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT WAEL AL-MAZEEDI, we bet...
the fact that Murphy preserved the video speaks for itself... BTU (Wael Al-Mazeedi) claimed that "it had been overwritten"... HOW CONVENIENT considering that digital storage is so damned cheap and Al-Mazeedi must have tons of it... in the Betancourt litigation he was "able to go back in time" and oversee Betancourt's activities... but when it comes to preserving evidence for forthcoming trials he claims it was just "erased"...
We know that at least one of the persons ensnared in Al-Mazeedi's litigation assault is doing what it takes to make this a trial by jury... no settlements, no anything that allows Al-Mazeedi to stand behind Protective Orders and lawyers when he speaks. As someone has commented in this blog, this will be an UNFILTERED questioning.
This is an early invitation for everybody to show-up sometime in the next few months at the following address:
Boston
1 Courthouse Way
Boston, Massachusetts 02210
(617) 748-9152
We'll provide the PACER updates to let you know which courtroom this will take place in...
McLayton,
Do you know if Murphy will be called into court to explain the video and explain why he preserved it? Or will be be deposed? I would recommend UNFILTERED questioning in open court.
The system that makes these kind of videos have logs files and allow "Evidence" CDs that are prepared for court. Has the system been "ERASED" or did Al-Mazeedi destroy his own system?
Has a Trial Schedule been set? Thanks for the address too.
To reply to McLayton:
FIRED Ms. Christina Stephens's Deposition? When is it scheduled?
FACT: She has a high school graduate? (Not verified, please ask her)
FACT: She was FIRED. Why? She got caught on video!
FACT: She is now a FIRED Manager of the Chairman's Office.
FACT: She is so F...ing screwed with that video evidence.
FACT: Mr. Murphy will testify in open court to save Mr. Betancourt some money and time. He will be UNFILTERED and will not have his word filtered by lawyers or protective orders. A jury will enjoy this case and see the true colors.
If I was Mr. Wael Al-Mazeedi's lawyers, I would settle with both of them, urgently drop both cases( Mr. Betancourt & Mr. Murphy), pay for their legal bills including an additional small settlement and move on to focus on Mr. Hayat.
Mr. Betancourt case will DESTROY both Ms. Stephens and Mr. Al-Mazeedi. Thanks to this blog and the waybackmachine.org it will NEVER go away and live on the Internet as long as the Internet lives. Yippie!
Did Murphy submit more than one video?
Also, with all this Court time, for a company with NO PATENTS, it seems the focus hasn't changed. Live in the past. Post (Paid bloggers) about the past. Sue past employees.
To sum this up, a company that lives in the past has NO FUTURE.
1 Courthouse Way with 2 press reporters.
Please post the Trial schedule as soon as possible.
Thank you Mr./Mrs: McLayton
You mean HUSKY German FIRED Manager of Chairman's Office.
Translated: She was his secretary, she got his coffee, she got his tea, she got his lunch, trained like a good pet. To call her a secretary would insult real secretary workers. She was a tool!
Sorry HUSKY GERMAN TOOL!
I wonder what else Mr. Murphy submitted to Federal Court. How can we find out? At the trial?
Mr. Murphy submitted an affidavit listing everything he deposited in US Federal Court. We have a copy of it and will post it soon.
Dear McLayton,
Have you ever contacted the local newspaper or local TV stations to feature your blog? I'm sure Mr. Al-Mazeedi would love the press. right?
Call Channel 7 news hotline. Or email them.
Or call Boston Globe or even the Waltham MA newspaper.
BTU/Qgen would love the spotlight, wait can he get a PROTECTIVE ORDER against a newspaper? Nope!
Interesting... what else was deposited in US Federal Court. I bet this will be good.
WOW! Read the Main page of this blog! Martin Betancourt post.
When is Ms. Christina Stephens being deposed? Who is her laywer(s)? Is Al-Mazeedi paying her still, please ask? Most likely "under-the-table".
"Follow the money..." A line from the movie "All the President's Men" dealing with Watergate and Richard Nixon.
Nixon, arguably the most powerful person in the world at that time used the FBI, IRS, possibly CIA, to deal with people on his "enemies list" (his own terminology).
However, after the "cat got out of the bag" due to Watergate, they couldn't put the cat back... All because someone "followed the money" (reporters Bernstein and Woodward). Nixon resigned.
"... All because someone "followed the money"
Another poster (cover page article) wondered why the Middle Eastern investors haven't raised a big fuss to get their $$$ back.
Perhaps it is because if someone "followed the money", its source may be less than clean.
One can't swing a cat in that part of the world without hitting "dirty money" (drugs, terrorists, fraud, etc).
It would be interesting to find out how many "degrees of separation" there are between an given investor and "dirty money".
There's good reason to believe that the Dubai ISLAMIC Bank has been the biggest "supporter" of Wael Al-Mazeedi and BTU. A simple internet search will show that Aref Kooheji (from Pakistan - you know what kind of great friends they are) was the principal person in charge of this investment on behalf of Dubai Islamic Bank... He resigned suddenly in late 2007. His name and face were all over the internet prior to his resignation...
Repeating something stated earlier in this blog... Wael Al-Mazeedi does not operate in a vacuum. There have to be other people/companies on the "other end" making sure "things" happen. They have as much at stake making sure nothing ever gets out into the public domain as Wael does...
I remember a former employee making fund of QGEN and was PAID $1,000.00 for coming up with.
"Dirty Country. Clean Energy." QGEN Tagline possiblility #1.
And to "Follow the money"...
the 2nd tagline possibility #2 was "We are not who you think we are." which was making fun of the INVESTORS of the Dubai Islamic Bank like Mr. Aref Kooheji.
Aref Kooheji from Pakistan
http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1202422420623&slreturn=1&hbxlogin=1
Here are the good parts:
"Founded in 1975, DIB is the world's first Islamic bank with an estimated $200 billion in assets. According to its Web site, the bank is the "undisputed leader" in Islamic banking, "setting the standards for others to follow as the trend towards Islamic banking gathers momentum in the Arab world and internationally."
"The lawsuit claims Aref Kooheji, a former employee of a DIB subsidiary, told Usmani, "We will take the skin off your body and throw you in jail forever." Kooheji allegedly warned Usmani the Dubai government could jail anyone without charges or evidence.
Usmani was summoned May 28 to pick up his passport at Dubai's Office of Financial Auditors but was transferred to a detention facility, tortured and held for several hours, the suit said. The complaint offered no details.
Afterward, Usmani "was taken to his home in Dubai where more than one dozen men, all believed to be members of Dubai's secret police (Amn Al Dawla) ransacked his home and, upon information and belief, physically assaulted at least one minor child," the suit said. Usmani has been in custody ever since."
Now I know why Wael doesn't head home to Kawauit since Mitsue, his wife, HATES it here. I bet Mr. Aref Kooheji will visit him there or the UAE.

Has the HUSKY GERMAN been deposed yet?
Murphy may have settled... we'll try to confirm... the court docket in his case has not changed since April 1, 2011. According to the scheduling order from US Federal Court, many thing should have happened by now, but they haven't and there are NO filings in US Federal Court to shed any light...
In our opinion, he and his lawyer had an absolutely "airtight" case.
Someone mentioned in the comments section that Murphy had already spent $80K plus on the litigation... We can only imagine that Betancourt and McBrearty have spent twice as much since they've been ensnared in Almazeedi's net of lawyers for twice as long...
And, by the way, we are pretty sure this is a tremendous sum to them.
Almazeedi has access to the dividends from the BTU Power Company investors (Dubai Islamic Bank, Qatar National Bank, Qatar Investment Authority, etc.)
Anybody else litigating with Almazeedi (other than Hayat) have only rudimentary access to limited sums of money...
...so, Murphy provided support for Almazeedi in order for BTU to get into US Federal and Massachusetts State courts with their litigation... Murphy was subsequently sued by Almazeedi... and now Murphy may have settled with Almazeedi.... there's some logic to all these happenings, but it's not immediately obvious....
makes you wonder if he's really "ready to testify" regarding anything that might be prejudicial to Almazeedi (like the fact that Almazeedi placed illegal listening devices in the offices of his former employees) [words taken almost verbatim from Murphy's court filings]
I known Murphy for years. I was one of his references when he got 3 job offers after being let go from Mr. Al-Mazeedi. Not too bad in this job market!
He landed a perfect job that is truly family oriented and he is SO SO SO HAPPY NOW to be out of BTU/Qgen/MW-Partners/FateConsortium...etc.
He told me he will testify to support Mr. Betancourt case, against Ms. Christina Stephens and Wael Al-Mazeedi for their actions that they "placed illegal listening devices in the offices of his former employees." (from above and what I have read on this blog.)
I'm trying to find out if his case settled, but he said "No comment and that it is pending."
"$80K plus on the litigation..."
He has 80K reason to testify against Mr. Al-Mazeedi.
Mr. Betancourt should be smiling knowing he doesn't have to depose Murphy until he is called into Federal Court as a witness.
Why waste money for a deposition, when you can get him to testify for FREE in front of a jury UNFILTERED, but Wael Al-Mazeedi's legal team with a jury sitting a few feet away is worth $80K+!
See you in Court. I will be with Murphy in the back of the courtroom.
The video is worth more than $80K to Mr. Betancourt thou.
Great move by that former IT Manager to submit it into Federal Court.
I wonder if Mr. Betancourt's lawyer wants to depose Murphy and risk it all be PROTECTIVE ORDER by Mr. Al-Mazeedi's legal team.
A public Federal Court trial is where I would want Mr. Murphy to speak to a jury.
WOW Congrats to Post 800! I bet we go alot higher and faster soon.
What is the status of the deposition of Ms. Christina Stephens? Will her deposition transcript be uploaded/linked here?
Has the BTU vs Mr. Betancourt case been scheduled yet?
When does Mr. Al-Mazeedi get dragged into Court?
When will Ms. Christina Stephens be dragged into Court?
Dear McLayton,
Are you going to depose Mr. James Commodore or call him to the stand?
Dear McLayton,
Do you know if Mr. Murphy will be deposed? And by whom and when? I bet Mr. Al-Mazeedi's lawyers will want to enable a PROTECTIVE ORDER so that no one finds out what he says.
I hope Mr. Betancourt waits until Federal Court to call Murphy so that everyone clearly hears his voice that will not be FILTERED. I don't know BTU would chance this in open Court.

Got the message Ian thanks.

I think this is the SON.
When I worked for Wael he always used to boast that he had ACCESS to the upper echelons of power in Qatar... He always spoke about a Sheik Ali that was willing (illing) to give him billions of dollars at the snap of the fingers...
Maybe the Qataris paused to think about where they put their money... else, we would KNOW about the latest multi-billion (trillion) dollar fund (run with absolute authority by our "dearest" fund manager - WAM).
As has been documented elsewhere in this blog... WAM may get you one, no cents, or negative cents on the dollar worth or RETURNS on your investment... HE'S the ONLY person that can determine where the cash goes (so far, it seems, the cash only goes towards litigation - good luck MIDDLE EAST INVESTORS)
What a bunch to Qatar clowns to invest for 0% returns.
What kind of person gives money for nothing in return?
Why haven't Mr. Al-Mazeedi settled with all parties to save time and money, to focus on him "business", it appears his business is "lawsuits" with no patents to defend.
Patent count = 0
His only focus is him, not his wife, not his daughter from his current wife, not his daughter, not his sons form another wife. (Confused?)
Time is running out before he figures out he lost alot of time and money, not his, going after people for nothing. The courts will see this soon and then we will all see soon enough in open court.
Mr. Wael Al-Mazeedi ONLY CARES about Mr. Wael Al-Mazeedi, is that what you meant to say.
I doubt he will settle with Mr. Betancourt, but it most likely cost him, Al-Mazeedi everything he has when Mr. Betancourt wins!
Clearly his current lawyers are not the best out there that money can buy. I guess he is saving some money after all.
Open Court is coming soon.
Foley Hoag, I hope they got PAID already upfront!
Murphy knows his stocks! He bought a new TV.
He purchased a Bang & Olyfsen BeoVision 4 103" TV like the one Mr. Wael Al-Mazeedi wanted for our office. It costs USD $136,220.00 !
WOW, we couldn't even get one for our office, it is a long story. It looks awesome.
Check out this link:

I call that Mr. Betancourt wins!
