Scott,
I had a 20 min call with Mr. Paine, and his general counsel was also on the call. Which surprised me,
but was OK. After going through some history he came to the issue. He only addressed the role of
Jason Webb, who he said has a bad reputation and insulted him for receiving a kickback fee from the
CB. I said I heard no complaints about Jason's behavior and from my position was not able to assess
the situation. I advised him to file a complaint with the Ethics Board. Mr. Paine said he was still
considering what action to take. He also said that WV may be doing business with ACT in the future
and indicated that the issue with Webb could have implications. His counsel said that regulations for
purchase practicing could effect the way they chose vendors and that Jason Webb's behavior may
come close to actual slander. I thought this was a sort of a threat. And I don't like it. I even think such
a threat is illegal practice.
