Insurance Agent Website Creates Buzz, Concern

FRISCO,TX. August 21, 2009: Multi-state licensed insurance agent Steven S. Goss is seeking an attorney to help him with allegations of many federal and state crimes committed by individuals, including Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Kim Holland and one of her campaign donors, Jo Angela Ables. Mr. Goss created a website, www.myricocase.com which specifically lists his allegations, parties he complains of and includes various information attached as evidence of his allegations. While his motive was to find an attorney to file his proposed legal case, Goss says he is very moved and even surprised by the shear number of website hits and comments he has already received. “I just launched the site last Monday morning and had over one hundred hits and comments the first day.”

Mr. Goss claims Commissioner Holland and some campaign contributors which she is using in the Receivership of Top Flight Insurance Company have been dishonest, unethical and have even been violating numerous state and federal laws themselves. “I have a stack of articles and quotes where Ms. Holland has talked endlessly about how honest she is, about how open and transparent she is, about her moral barometer and frankly I don’t think the evidence speaks to that at all. She has refused any assistance or even responses the past two years and even ignored certified mail requests.”

Goss completely disagrees with Holland when she claims the Department of Insurance was “duped” and that Jimmy W. Wolff and Rodney Alfred Williams had “an elaborate scheme”. Goss contends certain staff at the Department of Insurance had illegally licensed Wolff and William’s operation because their attorney, Jo Angela Ables of Kerr, Irvine, Rhodes and Ables, received special treatment. Goss also claims his evidence proves ODI staff knew all the basics of Williams and Wolff’s schemes as early as 2003 yet did nothing to prevent their eventual insolvency. “The ODI allowing Wolff and Williams to carry 300% to 350% of the legal limit of admitted assets in real estate, and over 430% in cash of legal limits, proves they were allowed, even protected in their operations.”

According to Mr. Goss, Holland hired an out of state person from Arizona, with no contract or audit clause, to help cover up Top Flight’s illegal operations. According to Goss, Wolff and Williams have numerous ties to failed Arizona businesses from the 1970′s to 2002, including interests in and control of formerly publicly traded insurer Pantheon Industries, Inc. Goss claims Wolff and Williams converted duplexes built on what was supposed to be Top Flight land, with Top Flight encumbered cash, into their personal names well after Holland took control of Top Flight. Goss also claims Holland and her donors/employees allowed Wolff and Williams to lease the mineral rights from these properties that were supposed to be Top Flight’s as late as 2007, two years after taking control of the company.

Goss believes Holland has allowed, even helped cover up, former ODI employees and donor’s roles in the failure of Top Flight. Goss, a lifelong and family long democrat, says politics are very much in play. “You got an insurance commissioner who was portrayed on the state Democratic Party’s website with Attorney General Drew Edmondson saying they were going to the max for the party. That’s fine, but I would have appreciated if he and his office had taken action when they had been duly notified of these crimes. Furthermore, Mr. Edmondson, in my opinion, shouldn’t have instead taken campaign money from Ms. Ables, a former employee of that office.” Goss says Edmondson’s handling of the arrest and prosecution of Wolff and Williams, not done until late 2007, is suspicious. Goss also believes Holland is paying well over a million dollars to a former Attorney General’s a law firm who is also the former head of the Democratic Party in Oklahoma, with no contracts or audit clauses. Goss says Holland’s past campaign was assisted by this firm, including writing a cease and desist letter to a local news station. “It is my understanding this was written on corporate stationary, using corporate resources and time. How this is not an illegal corporate donation is beyond me.” Goss does not believe Holland’s campaign ever paid for these types of legal services and is a quid pro quo benefit for the lucrative, no bid, no audit contracts that are referred to by her office as “handshake deals.” Goss claims Holland and two attorneys created a not-for-profit corporation to handle Receiverships, just as Fisher had done previously, in order to cover up certain ODI staff’s involvement and to be able to pay millions of dollars to a few select law firms, especially those whose members donate and support her campaign.

Goss claims not only have hundreds of Oklahoman’s been stuck with unpaid losses because of these crimes, millions of dollars in lost tax revenues as well as the foreclosure losses associated with the duplex scams which have cost the United States.

When asked if he was bitter about Holland’s actions, he replied “Wouldn’t you be? If you had to move from the only state your family has ever known, move your sick mother and get her new doctors and try to make a living in a strange place so her campaign donors, and client’s of theirs, could steal everything you have, all the while going around telling everybody how honest she was, wouldn’t you be?” Goss said skeptics or supporters of Holland are free to read his website and make up their own minds. Goss even included a Sample Evidence and Summary Section to support his allegations.
