Michael W. Lynch - former Chairman of McCook Metals - files legal papers in Chicago Federal Court disclosing the judicial ''Bribery Fund'' uncovered during McCook Metals bankruptcy proceedings.

CHICAGO -- On May 22, 2006, former McCook Metals Chairman Michael W. Lynch filed legal papers disclosing alleged evidence of judicial corruption in Federal and State Court in Chicago.

Additionally, in a written letter to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, Lynch outlines the details of how several Federal and State Court Judges in Chicago control funds allegedly earmarked as payment to judges in exchange for favorable verdicts on behalf of General Electric Commercial Finance (GECC) and law firm Seyfarth Shaw.

Lynch, in his role as Chairman of McCook Metals, was a visible and vocal opponent of the Alcoa and GE monopolies - which, according to Lynch, seek to acquire US manufacturing competitors, downsize operations, and outsource production. GECC - and Lynch's one-time council Seyfarth Shaw - allegedly used bribery tactics to force McCook Metals, an Alcoa competitor and champion of the American worker, into bankruptcy - and to personally persecute Lynch, who is fighting stridently against the judicial corruption in Chicago.

Through the Independent Federal Fund Oversight Committee (IFFOC) of Topeka, Kansas - Lynch hired a Federal Auditor to investigate the McCook Metals bankruptcy records and proceedings. The evidence alleges the following was uncovered:

1)   U.S. Chief Judge Eugene R. Wedoff is personally overseeing a $39
     million "bribery fund" via the McCook Metals bankruptcy estate.

2)   McCook Metals was never sold to French aluminum company Pechiney.

3)   Judge Wedoff admitted he was still receiving residuals from his
     former employer, law firm Jenner & Block.

4)   Jenner & Block represented Pechiney in its contested acquisition
     of McCook Metals - and currently represents General Electric
     Commercial Finance (GECC).

5)   GECC was a lender to McCook Metals and United Airlines.  Judge
     Wedoff was the bankruptcy judge in both matters.

6)   Lynch issued subpoenas to U.S. Trustees Joseph Baldi and David
     Leibowitz for turnover of financial records and tax returns.
     Judge Wedoff blocked the Lynch acquisition of those documents.

7)   Judge Wedoff refused to remove U.S. Trustee David Leibowitz due
     to conflicted representation.  David Leibowitz's daughter, Debra
     Gordon, is a partner at Seyfarth Shaw.

8)   Judge Wedoff refused to recuse himself despite
