Universal Express Requests Hearing With SEC in Florida
24 March 2004, 2:51pm ET
NEW YORK, March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Express, Inc. (BB:USXP), today requested that the long-sought hearing and lawsuit with the agency empowered to protect thousands of companies from naked short-selling, stand before a Florida judge.
"I welcome the hearing that is long overdue. Ever since USXP received $590,000,000 of 'short-selling' judgments that demonstrated inefficiency on the part of the SEC, they have retaliated against our Company, which has grown to over $200,000,000 in sales from no revenues and $54,000,000 in debt paid- off," stated, Richard A. Altomare, President & CEO of Universal Express.
Mr. Altomare continued, "At a time when America is prioritizing jobs, this fine Company has grown to over 6,500 employees from only 3 -- and that's the Company our appointed regulators have decided to question. This one they will lose. They owe the stockholders of USXP $590,000,000 -- they know it, and a jury trial will prove it.
"There has been nothing but integrity and hard-working American efforts with complete compliance on the part of this Company during our 14 years of development, with never a question from the SEC for 14 years.
"As Al Capone infiltrated the Chicago Police Department, I contend that the organized crime efforts of naked short sellers are not above influencing SEC lower-paid employees. Should Universal Express experience any financial damages from bureaucrats gone awry, our proactive lawsuit, which we filed on March 2, will seek additional damages.
"If the SEC wishes to intimidate, eliminate or frighten companies that are the core of America's future capitalist system, they picked the wrong company, wrong CEO and wrong issue to think we'll blink.
