Edward Detwiler et al

Columbus, Ohio (Dec. 10, 2009) - The defamation lawsuit filed by Edward B. Detwiler, Benjamin S. Zacks, Esq., and Zacks' law firm Zacks Law Group LLC against Leader Technologies (www.leader.com) includes suing nine (9) individuals who have never met them. Leader alleges in various court filings that these plaintiffs, led by Benjamin Zacks, the former attorney for the company, and his law firm, Zacks Law Group LLC, have breached attorney-client privilege and used that knowledge to harass the company by various means, including filing frivolous lawsuits and abuse of the court system.

In 2001 Detwiler's attorney Zacks attended a conference with Leader Founder and Chairman, Michael T. McKibben, titled "Trade Secret Protection and Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights" in Washington D.C. sponsored the The National Intellectual Property Law Institute where Maynard C. Anderson, a member of the Leader Board of Directors whom Zacks has sued, spoke on the subject of "Electronic Information and the Challenges of Secrecy". Mr. Anderson is Former Acting Deputy Under Secretary for Security Policy, United States Department of Defense.

Other prominent Leader directors that Detwiler has sued (and has never met) include John Mott, former President of EDS Korea and former EDS Director of M&A worldwide, and Riad Yammine, former President of Speedway SuperAmerica and Director Marathon Oil Company. About a month before filing their lawsuit, Detwiler's co-plaintiff Adam J. Steiger ordered his attorney Eric J. Wittenberg (also Zacks' attorney in past matters) to cancel a meeting with Leader representatives to discuss their differences, the morning of the meeting. Wittenberg even threatened to call the police if the Leader representatives appeared at his doorstep.
