"Fidelity takes cover behind FEMA's payment of it's legal defenses as proof that that federal funds are at risk and preemption therefore applies"

Federal Tax Dollars used to defend Insurance Companies Accused of Wrongdoing [Published MyFox Houston - May 23 2013]

"Unbeknownst to the public and contrary to the improper unqualified audit opinions issued by the auditor defendant, the director defendants' ambitious plans to diversify DDMG quickly outpaced the company's ability to generate revenue and obtain new financing to pay for the transformation. Their flawed business plan left DDMG with grave and continually worsening liquidity issues. The undisclosed purpose of the IPO and of other fundraising efforts undertaken in 2012 by the director defendants and the Palm Beach Capital Defendants, major holders of DDMG equity and DDMG insiders, was to generate cash to alleviate their concerns regarding DDMG's liquidity. By June 7, 2012, when plaintiffs participated in the PIPE Offering and entered into the Call Option Agreements with DDMG and the Palm Beach Capital defendants, all defendants knew or should have known that DDMG's liquidity crisis was more serious than had been disclosed to the public and plaintiffs. Defendants knew or should have known that the liquidity problem was likely to worsen and destabilize DDMG. Defendants knew or should have known that DDMG faced an imminent threat of a total liquidity failure that could lead to the demise of the entire company. Yet, defendants failed to correct the false and misleading statements concerning the ability of DDMG to fund its operations into 2013."
