[edit] True v. USAA

Argument for Delete: An article about a legal case which has barely begun, and about which there is no evidence any newspaper or journal has written, concerning a matter which itself does not appear to be notable or significant. Ordinarilly I'd be reluctant to nominate an article only a day old for AfD, but the submitter's other contributions (particularly those on Unincorporated reciprocal inter-insurance exchange) strongly suggest he intends to use Wikipedia as a vehicle to publicise his ongoing lawsuit. That's not a fit purpose to which Wikipedia should be put. Finlay McWalter | Talk 00:04, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Argument to Keep: True v USAA was commenced (filed) 10 Feb 2004 (Docket # 04 L 79, St. Clare County, IL). Thus, this is hardly a new case: in fact it is almost two years old. True is singularly the most challenging law suit and easily the most significant event presently bearing on USAA's finances. It demands the immediate return of all unallocated surplus surplus. If Col True is granted class action status, and if Col True prevails, USAA will tautologically become insolvent and will then be disolved by the Texas Department of Insurance.

USAA's April 6, 2005 24-page response to interrogatories, in which USAA's lawyers essentially argue that the "members" own nothing, is one of the most revealing documents in USAA's history. This document will soon be available on a server located in Ulan Bator, with simultaneous mirror-service out of Vilnius and Yekatarinburg, and Irkutsk.

True v. USAA focuses on the fundamental issue that USAA lacks any capital structure. USAA exists off of money "borrowed" and then perhaps not faithfully returned to the subscribers. This law suit demands that USAA repatriate money questionably deposited in the Arran Master Trust - and that this money be returned to the subscribers who own it.

If there is some argument which dignifies the improper retention of these funds

(Author note as to argument to keep: I have absolutely no financial interest in how True v. USAA turns out. Will every signatory below please declare his/her "independence" in this matter.)

Critics: listen to this and listen carefully. " . . . and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." John Donne 1623. St. Paul's Cathedral, London. USAA's days are numbered. Look at all of you laid out below, as if you were tree huggers lying in front of a bull-dozer. You'all make a sad sight.
