Crossroads has a person on the Board of Directors that works for the Law Firm Mayer Brown. Jennifer Rakstad. This Law Firm could possibly be the most corrupt Business Entity in the World..No Exaggeration..They teach major corporations how to decieve and then puncture civilization with manipulated outcomes to suit the Fortune 100..

Look at the link that I attached.

The link you attached says nothing at all about corrupt practices by Meyer Brown. It is a boilerplate "About" page that simply states that this law firm specializes in Corporate Law. There's nothing on this link you posted to indicate anything particularly sinister beyond what is done by every law firm in the world whose primary area of expertise is Corporate Law.

Please do a bit more research and post something more informative than the law firm's "about" page. Thanks.

Hey Fallean

I saw this other topic. The link you posted didn't say or prove anything. Just being a law firm does not necessarily make someone evil. BUT let me tell you. There are other things which may make these people bad business partners. check this out.

"Our attorneys are well known for “legendary toxic tort defense work.” (Chambers 2008). We also draw on our network of many of the world’s leading experts in fields relevant to environmental law, including geologists, hydrologists, toxicologists, pathologists, microbiologists and engineers in order to better identify and attack “junk science” claims to counter plaintiffs who seek to take advantage of gaps in the scientific literature."


Toxic Tort defence work is the amount of money a client can claim from suing an entity for waste hazards. I think. And when they say that they identify and attack junk science claims. Well we need to find out how they go about doing this. Because based on experience with Midwest Generations so called experts they claim it is junk science that those two coal plants are causing health risks.

So there may be something sinister or some bad dealings which they have done. But it will take more research to discover this. you don't have the goods yet. The link you posted says nothing. Just being an law firm that has done work for many banks doesn't mean they are evil. Especially if it is ecology re mediation work. I'm sure no one else is going to put in the effort which I will in trying to vet this group to see if they have been involved with any dealings which is in conflict to Occupy Chicago's goals and interests. If you can come up with more please do so. I'll get back to this later. I have some reading to do.
