Court filing: David Wallace denies everything

In a response filed Friday in U. S. District Court, former Joplin master developer David Wallace denies all allegations against him in the lawsuit filed by court-appointed receiver Thomas Taylor.

Taylor claims that Wallace failed to pay the $1.2 million the Securities and Exchange Commission ordered him to repay to the investors who were cheated in the BizRadio scheme.

"Defendant denies each and every allegation," the document says. Though Wallace lists a prominent Houston attorney as his lawyer, he filed the papers himself. In the document, he says the receiver, Thomas Taylor, shouldn't get anything, and that Wallace's costs and attorney fees should be covered.

The entire $1.2 million was supposed to be repaid by December 31, 2012, but Wallace kept pushing the deadline back, all the way to December 31, 2014, by feeding court-appointed receiver Thomas Taylor III a series of stories about the money Wallace-Bajjali was going to make on its projects in Joplin and Amarillo and the millions the firm would make when it went public.

When the December 31 deadline passed, Taylor sent letters to Wallace and Bajjali January 5 letting them know that the game was over and action was going to be taken against them and they had only 10 business days to repay the debt in full.


By the end of those 10 days, Wallace and Bajjali had both resigned from all of the companies that owed the money, in what appears to be an effort to avoid paying what they owe.

The following letter was sent to both Wallace and Bajjali:
Reference is made to certain replacement promissory notes payable to the order of Thomas L. Taylor III, as Receiver for Kaleta Capital Management, LP, a Texas Limited Partnership as detailed below:

- Replacement Promissory Note dated as of May 6, 2006:

When Taylor received no response, he filed the legal action against Wallace and Bajjali.

Wallace is no longer being represented by Porter Hedges. Bajjali has a lawyer, not them. Surely they didn't pay Porter Hedges so the law firm dumped them. They cheat whomever they can.
