INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
On November 15, 2002, I filed a lawsuit against several individuals and two companies in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. In the Writ of Summons, I outlined my major grievances (See Appendix 1-2):
“The plaintiff’s claims are that defendants Stephens, Lockhart, Bhattacharya, Li, Raz or Sullivan produced or spread untruthful comments, or comments of a sexual nature, about the plaintiff; exposed the plaintiff to hatred or contempt; hired agents to stalk, harass and threaten the plaintiff; illegally wiretapped the plaintiff’s private wireless and internet communications; conspired with co-defendants International Securities Exchange and Interactive Brokers, LLC to illegally alter the securities positions in the plaintiff’s on-line trading account.”
This is a legal matter between private parties. As such, it was supposed to take its due legal course. However, the federal government has become intricately involved in it since at least early 2001 when I initiated a privacy request to obtain my personal file with Citizenship and Immigration Canada. In fact, not only did the federal government engage in a cover-up for the defendant by withholding my personal information from me, it also actively collaborated with the defendant in bullying and harassing me. At times, local police or RCMP was also involved. Lately, I suspected that some politicians were also involved and there was a connection with Cecilia Zhang case.
All these happened while my efforts to seek legal representation were made fruitless by the defendant. I am left with no choice but to write this report to seek public support1.
WHO’S WHO
In order to understand how the government collaborated with certain private individuals in bullying and harassing me, I will have to introduce those individuals first.
These individuals are collectively called “defendant” in this report, which is defined as one or several of the following seven individuals named or to be named2 in my lawsuit.
Mr. Michael A. Stephens, a retired professor of statistics at Simon Fraser University (“SFU”).
Mr. Richard Lockhart, a professor of statistics at SFU, my former Supervisor.
Mr. K. Laurence Weldon, an associate professor of statistics at SFU, my former Senior Supervisor.
Mr. Mihir Bhattacharya, a former professor at the University of Michigan; graduated from the same university as Mr. Lockhart; worked in a number of Wall Street firms.
Mr. Yanxiu (Matthew) Li, a former subordinate to Mr. Bhattacharya at Merrill Lynch; currently with TD Securities (USA) in New York.
Mr. Daniel Raz, of Analytic Recruiting, Inc. in New York, a personnel agency assisting Wall Street firms with recruitment.
Mr. Jim Sullivan, of Galaxy Management Group, Inc. in New York, another personnel agency assisting Wall Street firms with recruitment.
The two companies listed in my lawsuit, namely, International Securities Exchange (“ISE”) and Interactive Brokers, LLC (“IAB”), were specifically involved in the securities incident described in Chapter 5.
REPORT OUTLINE
This report is organized as follows. Chapter 2 provides a timeline of major events and partially summarizes defendant’s bullying and harassment tactics and key incidents. Chapters 3 through 6 are descriptions of major incidents, with emphasis on more recent ones involving federal government and local police/RCMP in Chapter 6. Chapter 7 describes events after the release of my open letters to the government on December 12, 2003.
1 I found it extremely distasteful and unpleasant to have to write a report like this.
2 The Writ of Summons will be renewed and amended once I am able to obtain legal representation.
