in the circuit court of jackson county, missouri, at independence

simple escrow so that we had a place to put our
certification program candidates until they receive the
weeks worth of training and we were able to identify
whether or not they were going to be part of our
organization or not. That is all we asked you people to do,
instead, you guys have carried this thing farther, in other
words, you want to know more information about the company,
or you want to know about our background, or you want to
know whose involved in this because there is a conflict of
interest and that is the only reason you guys wouldn't
provide these services. You would provide them for anyone
else that walked in off of the street, but you have a
conflict. So admit you have a conflict and let's move on.
If you don't have a conflict, then set the escrow up.”
Lars Anderson US Bancorp; “Sam, this is Lars, Brian and I
have talked about this since he bounced the transaction off
of me to find out if we should do the deal and I couldn't
see good reason to do the deal, but we have never talked
about any kind of conflict of interest. I don't even know
where you are coming from that standpoint.”
Brian Kabbes US BANCORP; “I don't have any idea what he is
talking about.”
Bret Landrith MSCI; “I understand you are not admitting it
yet, but you have not come up with a plausible nonprotectoral
reason to not set up escrow accounts. We are
going to be looking at...”
Brian Kabbes US BANCORP; “we have to know our customers I
have to have complete information and to know our customers
and to know who we are doing business with.”
Bret Landrith MSCI; “I don't think a US Bank knows too much
about US Bank, but in terms of, we filled out credit
application you got business plan, you got all that
information, and once you got all that information then we
are surprised you are not accepting the account.”
Lars Anderson US Bancorp; “we take on a trust business
stand alone, and we have our own acceptance criteria and
it's got nothing to do with what someone else got your
financials or whatever....”
Bret Landrith MSCI; “like I said, I don't think US Bank is
a coherent entity and I am really alarmed at some of the
laissez-faire lack of control of practices that you have
and I am sure we are going to see a lot of disturbing
things, unless you are here are calling us to set up some
trust accounts we will probably do our next communications
in correspondence.”
