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:

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 they were going to be ordered by the court to produce all their licenses and tax reports, they ran like Speedy Gonzales and 54 plaintiffs dismissed ASAP their very own lawsuit against the owner of this blog ....

How low can you go?? hahahahahahahaha

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 since 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.

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.
