1. Who is Jeff Williams? Jeffrey A. Williams, <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>, has claimed in postings to various lists: -- to have been the Chief Executive Officer and is the Co-Founder of the 2.2 billion dollar privately held employee owned INEG. INC -- to be the Director of Internet Network Engineering and Senior Java/CORBA Engineer for the Information Network Engineering Group, INEG INC. -- to be an ex-IBM Fellow, -- to have a law degree from SMU Law School -- to have degrees in business management and electronic engineering -- to have served as a judge for 7 years, -- to be a member of the IETF -- to serve on several medium sized business boards and on the boards of several banks -- to be the author of two books and is working on a third -- to own 3 ISPs, including Frisco net and Wiltel, with 1.6 million users -- to have been a fighter pilot with USMC, flying missions in Chile and for the DEA, as a reserve pilot in the USMC, stationed out of Grand Prairie air station just south of Dallas. -- to have spent several years in NIS (Naval Investigative Service) However, -- Jeff's 'INEG. INC' does not exist except as a fantasy in Jeff Williams' mind. -- Jeff changed the name of the company in his .sig, in Jan 1998, from 'Information Eng. Group' to Information Network Eng. Group. INEG. INC., when the real Information Engineering Group <http://www.ieg-america.com/>, became aware of Jeff's use of their name. -- SMU Law School Registrar's office, (214) 768-2618, disclaims all knowledge of Jeff. Jeffrey A. Williams is a fake and an imposter. -- 2. Why should I take care in sending private email to Jeff Williams? He may post it to the list. Ironically, in his postings of others' private email so far the content has been counter-productive to his reputation and credibility. You should presume any email to him will posted to the list. -- 3. Is there other material available on Jeff Williams? http://www.gtld-mou.org/gtld-discuss/mail-archive/03504.html http://www.gtld-mou.org/gtld-discuss/mail-archive/05347.html http://www.gtld-mou.org/gtld-discuss/mail-archive/05398.html http://www.gtld-mou.org/gtld-discuss/mail-archive/05525.html -- Darrell Greenwood mailto:Darrell_Greenwood@mindlink.net Vancouver, BC http://www.nyx.net/~dgreenw/Jim Dixon's observations:
Comparing his statements in public and private email, I noted at one point that Jeff Williams was flying combat missions over Laos at the age of two. He was at the time a Lieutenant Colonel in the Marines commanding a squadron based at Tan Son Nhut, near Saigon. These aircraft must certainly have been exceedingly well camouflaged, as I never noticed them on my visits there. Describing Darell's FAQ as obscene is absurd. He is doing a public service. -- Jim Dixon Managing Director VBCnet GB Ltd http://www.vbc.net tel +44 117 929 1316The Mysterious Individual known as "Frank Rizzo" (frizzo@BERNIE-KOSAR.COM -- check out www.bernie-kosar.com) supports Jeff Williams. However, Mr Rizzo is himself almost certainly a spoof of Williams:
> Sure was. VMF 214. Black Sheep. Colonel Jeff Williams, I knew I recognized you. I served under you from '65 to '67 in Laos. Wow, those were some crazy times. Great to hear from you again. Folks, we all should thanks that this list is graced by so great a mna os Colonel Jeff Williams. He flew supply missions in V2.1 Apache Heliocpters, as well as many other great events. I distictly remember Jess servijng pancakes to over 200 homeless civilians, out of his own good will and his own pocket.But "Jeff Williams" says:
> Colonel Jeff Williams, I knew I recognized you. I served under you from '65 > to '67 in Laos. This couldn't be. As I was not in Vietnam durring that time.
[The Apache helicopter is an attack craft, not a supply craft, and the US military took delivery of the first one in 1984 -- kc]
Some further research on the part of Michael Dillon, from an email dated Thu, 6 Aug 1998:

We seem to have a company with 24,000 employees named INEG Inc. that
leaves no trace of its existence beyond the email messages written by one
jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com. I just searched Altavista using
INEG and "Information Network"
and was not able to find a trace of such a company. I suspect that this
company does not exist beyond Jeff Williams and that it will decline to
broadcast the CPSR meeting in San Francisco via the MBONE. The phone
number that Jeff gave, (972) 447-1894, leads to a residential hotel in
Dallas, TX, named Homestead Village at 17425 Dallas Parkway, not to a
large corporation.
