"Universal Express, its subsidiaries and its programs, are much more than a massive total of $525,000,000 in judgments.

"With special appreciation to our General Counsel, his staff and our outside legal firms and collection teams, I know as you do, that now it's our turn to get back what was wrongfully stolen from us," concluded Mr. Altomare.
