Yang (YEI) Employee Henry Nee Responds to Clint Curtis Charges, and Curtis Fires Back!

Full article at: The BRAD BLOG

Remember Clinton Curtis' zinger at the end of his testimony charging YEI employee Hai Lin Nee (a/k/a/ Henry Nee) of placing wiretapping modules into software written for NASA?

Court documents show that Nee plead guilty, in October of 2004, to one of the charges related to attempted shipments of Hellfire Anti-Tank missile parts to China for which he was indicted last March after a four-year sting operation by the U.S. Immigration & Customs Encorcement (ICE) agency.

Nee was allowed to go free with only 3 years probation and a $100 fine.

At the time, Feeney was a corporate attorney (and partner of Fowler, Barice, Feeney & Quinn) and a registered lobbyist for YEI. While serving as counsel and lobbyist for YEI, Feeney was also a Florida state Legislator who would shortly thereafter become Speaker of the Florida House. In 1994, Feeney was Jeb Bush's running-mate in his original failed bid for Florida Governor.

As "outside general counsel" for YEI, Feeney's law partner Michael A. O'Quinn suggested that Curtis was "a disgruntled employee." Not only has evidence shown that Curtis was NOT "a disgruntled employee," but he was kept on another 6 weeks after he resigned and given a "farewall party" [sic].

And yesterday, YEI's "official [unsigned and unattributed] statement" was finally posted on their website.

[NOTE: Clinton Curtis' claims have been scrutinized by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, Florida Senator Bill Nelson (member of committee that oversees NASA), watchdog organization CREW (Citizens for Ethics & Responsibility in Washington), live interviews on Air America Radio, Thom Harmann and Ed Schultz shows. To date, NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DISCREDIT HIM! ALL DOCUMENTATION SUPPORTS HIS CLAIM!]

Here is a claim from YEI's statement, and documents refuting that claim:

ONE OF YEI'S CLAIMS:
"6. YEI is not under investigation by the FBI, and no YEI owners, officers or employees have been arrested. In fact, the officers, including owners, of YEI possess Top Secret Clearances that require thorough investigation of an individual and his/her background."

Mr. Curtis,

I am a Special Agent assigned to the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force in Orlando, Florida.

The matter referred to in your email dated 11/17/2004 is under investigation by another Division of the FBI. If you could provide me with your telephone number and address, I will pass it to the office responsible for the investigation, so they may contact you directly.

Thank You,
SA Thomas Yowell

I am a past employee of Yang Enterprises in Oveido Florida. I believe that this company is spying for China. There were several odd occurances and in fact one of their illegal employees was recently arrested for attempting to send missile guidance chips to China. I have reported this before but the company still maintains a high security clearance as well as access to NASA and other governmental installations. They are also still on the limited list of the approved vendors for state government.

We did a "quick" change for Fernando today—added a couple of date boxes to one screen—took 2 hours! I don't know how long I can put up with this snail's pace; really frustrating. Because Fernando
needed, I stood over Henry's shoulder and talked him through the changes. I wanted to grab the mouse and do it myself. Damn, he's slow!
