Waco Tribune Announces Ullja Kuntze's Defamation Suit

This Waco Tribune article announces and outlines the defamation case Ullja Kuntze recently filed against 30 defendants. I feel compelled to point out a few of the errors in the article.

1. The defendants are not all women. There is one male defendant.
2. No one accused Ullja Kuntze of stealing their beads and using them in her jewelry. That's what beads are for, DUH! The issues of fraud stem from Ullja Kuntze purchasing beads from several well-known lampworkers and claiming to have made them herself in Italy as she resold them on Etsy. Documentation available on ulljas.com.
3. The former defamation case against Ullja Kuntze for publishing the "handmadeartisanfraud.blogspot.com" website was NOT DISMISSED. It was withdrawn by the plaintiffs after Ullja Kuntze admitted to filing tax evasion reports and publishing the blog. The plaintiffs withdrew their suit because it is prohibitively expensive to litigate and they felt that even though they had Ullja Kuntze's confession of guilt, the high cost of getting the case to court wasn't feasible. It was enough justice to have Ullja's admission in public records and they wanted to move on with their lives.
   

And Yet Another Revision on Ullja Kuntze's Blog

Good God, Ullja, make up your mind! Another revision to yesterday's post by Ullja Kuntze. Now she's claiming the Plaintiffs couldn't show any proof of their allegations. Really, Ullja? It's in the Harris County, Texas public records.

54 against 1 is a straw man, by the way. The number of Plaintiffs doesn't dictate the feasibility of pursuing a case, regardless of the facts on record. The Plaintiffs obtained the admission that Ullja Kuntze wrote the defamatory blog posts in an attempt to smear their good names. Time to move on.

Have a nice life, Ullja Kuntze.

Oh, yeah, here's her latest revision:

Handmadeartisanfraud and the TRUTH

Purpose of this blog and posting all these tax evaders
After coming across this alarming amount of tax evader group posted here, who are hiding behind a pc at the comfort of their homes thinking no one can catch them in their immoral, law-breaking acts, the awareness had to be made to the government as well as the consumers.

Honest, hard-working business owners are doing everything possible to stay in business in these today's hard economic times and they are paying taxes, getting licenses and permits to run a legal business, which is the right way of doing business.
There are laws to abide and if you decide to be law-breakers, you will pay the consequences eventually.

These law-breakers are now mad that they are caught in their unlawful acts and 54 of them even tried to take down this blog with a defamation lawsuit while having UNCLEAN HANDS...only to realize after many months that justice always prevails!
When it came to the point during the lawsuit when all 54 plaintiffs were going to be ordered by the court to produce all their licenses and tax reports, 54 plaintiffs, and i repeat 54 of them, realizing that they will be busted, ran like Speedy Gonzales and 54 plaintiffs dismissed ASAP their very own lawsuit against the owner of this blog ....

During 8 months, 54 plaintiffs and not a single one of them could prove with any single TRUE FACT the TRUTH nor could they show proof of any of the false accusations made against the defendant in their own lawsuit nor was neither of the 54 plaintiffs defending their so-called allegation that they are honest, law-and-tax-abiding, legal business owners by showing the court any, i repeat ANY, proof during the whole long 8 months!

Now, why would anyone who claims to be a tax and law-abiding honest business owner not show proof of this fact??

Wouldnt you be ready and eager to show proof of your legitimate business instead of running away just before the court orders you to do it?

And remember, we are talking about 54 plaintiffs vs 1 defendant. With such a huge group slapping only one defendant with such a powerful lawsuit for defamation, fraud, emotional distress and torturious interference with business, it should have been a piece-a-cake to win if they are so-called "innocent victims". Yet, they decide to run as soon as they realized that they will be busted. Now, why would 54 brains not think of this possibility of being busted ahead of time..what is worse, as of today, they dont even realize the consequences of this ridiculous lawsuit at all.

What a group of human beings with UNCLEAN HANDS who desparately attempted to try to win with lies even in the court system ...what a sadness to see group of people like these exist.

How low can you go??

We are still here and you cant take down this blog because statements here are TRUE and nothing but the TRUTH otherwise we wouldnt be here :-)

Update: We are proud of this blog. Eversince we have posted the law-breakers here, many others decided to be legal and do business the right way. We will continue to watch and report to the agencies any suspected tax evader or illegal business.

handmadeartisanfraud and the TRUTH, Part Deux.

Ullja Kuntze made some revisions to yesterday's post on her "handmadeartisanfraud.blogspot.com" site, the so-called "fraud blog" in which she is the self-styled "Concerned Citizen" reporting alleged tax evasion and business fraud (in her dreams) against law-abiding small business people, apparently motivated only by a lust for revenge.

Her updated post has been rewritten slightly. Predictably enough, it is still full of inaccuracies (as well as being very badly written). For instance, the Plaintiffs did not object to producing licenses and tax reports, they objected to handing personal information over to someone who is known to publish personal information about other people online, including a rape victim whose life was endangered when Ullja Kuntze published her address in an open forum. Nobody ran like "Speedy Gonzales". The Plaintiffs do not have "unclean hands". Justice did not prevail, but the Truth was revealed and recorded in the open records of Harris County, Texas when Ullja Kuntze admitted to owning "handmadeartisanfraud.blogspot.com" and turned over some of the dozens of "tax evasion" reports she'd sent to the IRS and local authorities.

I, for one, can't see why she bothered to edit this, but here's the revision:

Ullja Kuntze Plans to Teach Plaintiffs a Lesson

Whatever could Ullja Kuntze mean? Are her words (posted below) a veiled threat? She posted them on her blog the day before the Plaintiffs publicly announced their withdrawal from the defamation case against Ullja Kuntze. The next day Ullja made the same allusion to the "54 plaintiffs dismissed ASAP their very own lawsuit against the owner of this blog" on the handmadeartisanfraud.blogspot.com "fraud blog".

Looks like it's official. Ullja Kuntze is the so-called "Concerned Citizen" publishing the handmadeartisanfraud.blogspot.com website. Apparently Ullja Kuntze doesn't feel a need to hide behind the "Concerned Citizen" persona any more since the Plaintiffs decided, for reasons they made very clear, to drop the case. Continuing to hide would be particularly silly anyway, given that Harris County has copies of the dozens of IRS tax evasion reports Ullja Kuntze made against the Plaintiffs and others, as well as her admission that she owns the the blog.

The Plaintiffs decision had nothing to do with Ullja Kuntze's guilt, which is established in the documents in the Harris County public records. It had everything to do with feeling that Ullja Kuntze is a waste of money, now that her admission is on record, and choosing not to continue the lawsuit once that goal was reached. The donations of hundreds of artisans made it possible, but enough is enough. Her guilt is on record. She defamed her competition and those who spoke out against her for committing fraud. The Plaintiffs are moving on.

Still, I really can't wait to see what the "special lesson" she has planned for the Plaintiffs might be. More defamatory vitriol? If so, she's right, it should be entertaining (hey Ullja, remember when you said "Google is forever?" You were so right.)

Anyway, here's her "warning" or whatever she thinks it is from her personal blog:

Ullja Kuntze's Response to Plaintiff's Withdrawal from Case

Well, we expected it. Within days of announcing their withdrawal from the case, Ullja Kuntze has put on her "investigator" hat again and is feebly attempting to denigrate the Plaintiffs in the case, who have stated very clearly why they made the decision to withdraw. Folks, Ullja Kuntze is not licensed as an investigator and she is not privy to the tax records of the people she has called FRAUDS and TAX EVADERS on her blog. Her statements constitute defamation, and her "investigation" involved fraud. As far as her comments on the "right way of doing business", she would know since she got caught selling cookies out of her kitchen in Woodway, Texas with no licenses, permits or inspections, which is what started her off on this ridiculous vendetta in the first place.

Without further ado, this is what Ullja Kuntze posted this morning:

Why is Ullja Kuntze so Vindictive?

In late 2007 and into Summer 2008, Ullja Kuntze claimed to make cookies in her central Texas bakery while simultaneously selling lampwork beads from Milan, Italy. Since it's physically impossible to make beads in Italy while operating a bakery in Texas, it was suspected that Ullja was not actually operating a bakery as her Etsy cookie site claimed.

Texas authorities confirmed that Ullja did not have a licensed or inspected bakery in Texas. Authorities were denied access to the address (a residence) from which the baked goods were being shipped. Etsy subsequently terminated her cookie shop account. At this point, approximately 150 Etsy transactions have been found for cookies make in an undisclosed, uninspected, unlicensed kitchen.

During this time, Ullja was also being investigated for fraud by a group of lampwork glass beadmakers. Ullja was found to be purchasing beads from these beadmakers (see Proof of Fraud), then listing them on Etsy as her own work. This is a clear violation of Etsy's terms of service so Ullja's Etsy bead shop was terminated on June 15, 2008.

About the Handmade Artisan Fraud web sites

Online Fraud Investigation are two websites written by Ullja Kuntze. They are located at http://handmadeartisanfraud.blogspot.com and at http://www.onlinefraudinvestigation.com.

The purpose of the Online Fraud Investigation website is to harass online sellers who either 1) have spoken out against Ullja Kuntze's fraudulent activities, or 2) are small online sellers in direct competition with her.

Ullja's accusatons of fraud are, in fact, fabrications against online sellers who have spoken out against Ullja's own fraudulent business practices, practices that resulted in the termination of both her Etsy seller accounts in 2008. She is also making accusations of fraud against those who have questioned her online smear campaigns in 2009.
