LEO STOLLER TRUTH SERUM BLOG

The Leo Stoller Truth Serum Blog has been inundated with questions from its readers, so out of gratitude for the feedback it has received, the Truth Serum will do its best to provide you with some answers. It would be impossible for the Truth Serum Blog to answer all your questions and respond to all your comments but, with that being said, here we go: 

Question:    How is it that someone who lost 47 out of 49 trademark cases can hold themself out as “the nation’s leading trademark expert?” Thanks for doing this.

Truth Serum:    You are welcome. You must be referring to the Executive Committee Order signed by the Honorable James F. Holderman who, prior to entering the order restraining Leo Stoller from further filings, noted that 47 of 49 cases filed by Leo Stoller in his district involved trademark infringement, yet no court found any trademark infringement as alleged by Leo Stoller or his related companies.

Well, that’s the flip side of the Freedom of Speech. Other than a few defined parameters, anyone can say whatever they want or hold themselves out to be whatever they say they are. All you can do is be vigilant and try to cut through the rhetoric to find your own answers.

The Truth Serum would love to hold itself out as an expert on what women are thinking and what makes them tick, but that wouldn’t make it true– the Truth Serum would rather just say that women are the superior sex and leave it at that. And just because Leo Stoller represents himself as the “Nation’s Leading Trademark Expert” doesn’t make it true– the Leo Stoller Truth Serum Blog hopes that people will take the time to investigate such boisterous claims and come to their own conclusions.

Question:    Is Leo Stoller being investigated by the United State’s Attorney’s Office for all of his shenanigans in the court system?

Truth Serum:    Whoa. The Leo Truth Serum Blog never suggested anything of the sort and has no knowledge of any such investigation. Leo Stoller is known for hurling accusations of investigations, corruption and criminal acts at people, and quite frankly, the Leo Truth Serum Blog has no interest in lowering itself to Leo Stoller’s level. The Truth Serum– although admittedly sarcastic, sardonic and satirical at times– likes to think that it holds itself to a degree of credibility that Leo Stoller is incapable of, or has no interest in, understanding. This blog is based on facts, not innuendo. Besides, even if the Leo Stoller Truth Serum Blog had knowledge of such an investigation, it would not comment one way or another.

Question:    Who are you?

Truth Serum:    Assuming this is not a philosophical question in the vein of that great rock band known as “The Who,” the Leo Stoller Truth Serum Blog, as alluded to in one of its previous posts, is a small but tenacious band of truth-seekers who are, to be perfectly honest, repulsed by Leo Stoller and his record of filing frivolous lawsuits, viciously and without provocation attacking individuals and businesses with false accusations and outright falsehoods, and in general, attempting to coerce anyone and anybody as long as he thinks it serves his own agenda.

Question:    Thank you for bringing this stuff to light. A while back, I got one of those letters from Leo Stoller saying that I was infringing on something but he would give me rights to use it for a few thousand dollars. I just ignored it. Was that a trademark thing?

Truth Serum: You are welcome. It’s hard to say what Leo Stoller’s claim was in the letter, but the courts are on record as stating that part of his modus operandi (method of doing things) is to send out hundreds of letters asserting frivolous claims and seeking money in order to “settle” the “claim” and make him go away. Welcome to the world of “nuisance lawsuits.” Think about it– if Leo Stoller sends out hundreds of letters seeking a few thousand dollars for him to “settle” and go away, and if a certain percentage of unwitting people give him some money to do so, then he makes a certain amount of money. It’s a matter of simple arithmetic. Well, the courts and everyone else finally caught on– although it probably took too long– and now his “industry of vexatious litigation” is collapsing around him. 
 
Question:    I’ve been riding these ripping waves lately, but have gotten in the habit of getting crushed before I hit the rip. What’s the deal?

Truth Serum:    Get a grip, girl. The Truth Serum admires your ambition, but try catching the wave before it turns C on you and water starts shooting forward. If you keep trying to jump a C, you are going to go over the falls, babe.

Question:   Is it true Leo Stoller got into trouble for misconduct in one of his personal bankruptcies?

Truth Serum:  The Truth Serum assumes you are talking about In re Stoller, Case No. 05 B 64075, in the Northern District of Illinois (Eastern Division), which was one of Leo Stoller’s personal bankruptcies.  The judge in that case– the Honorable Jack B. Schmetterer– had some extremely sharp words for Leo Stoller in a decision dated September 26, 2006. The Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law entered by Judge Schmetterer on that date is particularly illuminating as to Leo Stoller’s lack of credibility and his brand of “legal ethics.”

Thanks for your questions. The Leo Stoller Truth Serum Blog, as always, reminds everyone that Leo Stoller, just like everyone else, is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The Truth Serum also encourages its audience not to blindly accept the opinions and representations within, and encourages each and all to do their own research and to form their own independent opinions and conclusions about Leo Stoller and his public record of judicial misconduct and ethical misconduct.
