Global Resources ripoff cheated liars How can they still be in business if so many are complaining and the lawsuits and the government prosecuting them? Miami Florida

You're pretty close, Rebecca, but not quite accurate. First, I've never heard of the corporate veil being "lifted," corporate veils are "pierced." But "lifted" does make alot more sense, doesn't it?

The owners of a corporation will enjoy the protection of the status until a court decides to pierce the veil. They do not automatically lose the status as a result of fraudulent dealings.

Two things have to happen before the owners will be held personally liable. First, the veil must be pierced. To do this a plaintiff must show that the owner incorporated for the purpose of shielding himself from foreseen liability. In other words, if the owner planned on defrauding people from the outset then the veil should be pierced. If the owners had good intentions from the outset, and later recognized the benefit of the corporate shield and began defrauding people, they could probably be held personally liable as well.

If, however, the owners intended to run a legitimate business that ended up defrauding people through the acts of rogue sales agents or other parties, the veil will probably NOT be pierced because liability rightly falls on the corporation, not its owners.

After the veil is pierced there will be further proceedings to determine whether or not the acts of the individuals merit judgment against them. If the first part works (piercing the veil), the second part will probably be a slam dunk.

You must remember, however, that the DOJ is not there to help you get your money back. They may get an award for restitution but, ultimately, it is in your best interest to get YOUR OWN lawyer to ensure that everything is done right for you as an individual plaintiff. Hopefully the DOJ will get them shut down, but that is probably the most you should hope for from them.

Good luck!

The corporate veil is lifted in cfases involving fraud. The principals are not protected once they commit mail fraud, TV or phone fraud. Let's bug the heck out of the Dept of Justice. I left the name aned number yesterday. I am out $26,000

I believe the reason they continue in business is because there are legal protections that shield individuals when a company is incorporated. I asked the Attorney for the DOJ why they are still able to advertise? The response was they are working on it. Keep in mind that the first indictment against someone at Global Resources was just filed February 18 2005. There should come a point when they can get an injuction against the company. Hopefully soon,I too get angry everytime I see one of those ads
