Susan Polgar & Paul Truong Expelled from US Chess Federation
MrVidmar
Susan Polgar and Paul Truong had their memberships revoked for just
cause. She was represented by counsel at the Executive Board hearing on
revocation on Friday evening and again during her appeal that was heard
the following day by the full USCF House of Delegates. Also on Saturday,
the USCF House of Delegates ratified all Executive Board actions taken
during the past year. With great specificity, the Delegates ratified the
commencement of legal actions against Polgar and Truong in California
Texas and Illinois.
Ms. Polgar's chessdiscussion.com webmaster, Gregory Alexander, was
indicted on 34 counts of email hacking and one count of aggravated
identity theft. Mr. Alexander was arrested last month by the US Secret
Service during the second day of court ordered mediation in San
Francisco at which Polgar and Truong were present. He was arraigned and
released on $100,000 bail.
Ms. Polgar has charged 14 defendants in her Texas law suit with
defaming her, and yet, at her deposition taken under oath at the end of
June, she could not produce even one false statement made about her by
any of the defendants despite being given two days to produce same. Her
litigation is nothing more than a sham designed to silence her USCF
critics. The delegates saw through all of Polgar and Truong's posturing
and acted properly in revoking their memberships for just cause.
