Announcement on Ullja Kuntze's Official Website

Yet another badly written post, pathetically casting herself as the victim in this drama. It's funny as hell when one considers that Ullja Kuntze was the one "posting and telling hundreds of defamatory and disparaging statements about" about the 200 people listed on her handmadeartisanfraud.blogspot.com site "with the sole intent to FULLY destroy" them. Not so funny that she's gearing up for revenge, not justice, and wants to play this farce out in a courtroom in the good State of Texas.

Onward to Ullja Kuntze's post:

After 2 years of harassment, abuse and damages to my businesses and my name, i have finally filed in Waco McLennan County, Texas my Tortious Interference lawsuit with 4 claims including civil conspiracy claim against an initial number of 30 defendants in 19 States. To clearify the confusion, my lawsuit is NOT a defamation lawsuit, eventhough defamatory statements are used by defendants. The lawsuit i have filed is so much more serious than just a defamation lawsuit.

The goal of my lawsuit is to teach a lesson to this group of people, the defendants, who thought and still think that being behind a PC "anonymously" they can conspire and get away with posting and telling hundreds of defamatory and disparaging statements about me and my businesses online as well as offline to as many people as possible with the sole intent to FULLY destroy my name and all of my businesses. Now, they will see what the consequences are in choosing to conspire like this as a group.

My Grandfather always said :

"Never interrupt your enemies when they are making a mistake"....and that is what i have been doing for the past 2 years.

Proof of Ullja's Defamation Obtained; Plaintiffs Withdraw From Case

June 17, 2010 Announcement (permission to repost granted):

The Plaintiffs in the defamation case Liz Putnam et al v. Ullja Kuntze have filed to withdraw their motion seeking relief against Ullja Kuntze for defamation (libel and slander per se) and fraud.

The Plaintiffs arrived at the decision to withdraw after Ullja Kuntze, with much delay, finally complied with court-ordered disclosure and provided documents confirming that she publishes the blog "handmadeartisonfraud.blogspot.com" and has made false tax evasion reports specifically naming the Plaintiffs and many others to the IRS and state revenue offices around the country.

During the legal proceedings, the Plaintiffs attempted settlement with Ullja Kuntze and requested that she remove the blog, but Ms. Kuntze refused. The high cost of pursuing the case to completion has been weighed against the satisfaction of her admission that she is the publisher of the blog and the person behind the spurious reports to local authorities against artisans around the country. The investment to date resulted in obtaining evidence of her acts, an ample and welcome reward.

However, to pursue the case to completion and obtain an injunction against Ullja Kuntze ordering her to take the blog offline would be very expensive, given her lack of cooperation to date. With proof of her wrongdoing, the Plaintiffs and others targeted by Ms. Kuntze have the needed evidence to protect their professional and personal reputations individually.

The Plaintiffs wish to thank everyone who contributed to the legal costs and to assure their supporters that with proof of Ullja Kuntze's guilt, a win in civil court is not necessary. Thanks to the support of the artisan community, the evidence of Ms. Kuntze's acts is now a matter of public record for all to see.

Case information is available online at the Harris County Clerk's website. The case number is 200966253 and can also be located searching for Defendant name "Kuntze, Ullja".

Legal Action: Artisans v Ullja Kuntze

It appears that some of the artisans featured on Ullja Kuntze's Online Fraud Investigation web site will be meeting with Ullja in a Texas court room at some point in the future. Sources indicate that "some artisans" is more than a handful, and that filings are being prepared.

Debbie of Pierce's Designs has been valiantly organizing the legal fund for these efforts. She and many other artists have given time and money, and dedicated the proceeds of their creative works to the ever-growing fund.

Why do these people, many of whom have not been named on Ullja Kuntze's blogs, give of their time and resources like this?

When asked, the resounding answer is "I hate bullies".

You can donate on this page set up especially to gather funds, or follow the links on the page to items on various venues being sold specifically to support this cause.

P.S. apparently curiosity is killing the cat... Ullja made a donation to the fund as well, presumably to figure out who to report for this outrageous activity.
