I, Gary J. Leidy, do hereby solemnly affirm that the statements herein are
true and correct in substance and in fact, to wit:
I recently requested copies of various publications published by several
branches of the Federal Reserve Bank. The quotes reproduced below are taken
verbatim from several of these publications. They explain that the customer of a
bank is the depositor when he obtains a loan and that he is entitled to the return
of his deposit. The explanations you will read below admit that banks or
depository institutions within the Federal Reserve System do not loan money
from their own assets but rather, they create money by simply entering the
amount created or crediting it in an accounting ledger.

Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia

P. O. Box 66
Philadelphia, PA 19105-0066
215-574-6115
Page 6, Paragraph 3:
"Money for loans comes from two sources: 1) people who have saved and are
willing to lend their savings; and 2) institutions such as banks, which have the
power, within limits, to create money in checking-type accounts when they make
loans."
Page 8, Paragraph 3:
"Federal Reserve notes are the only kind of paper money issued today."

P. O. Box 834
Chicago, IL 60690-0834
312-322-5111
Page 3, Second Column, Paragraph 1:
"Who Creates Money? ... The actual process of money creation takes place
primarily in banks .... checkable liabilities of banks are money. These liabilities
are customers' accounts. They increase when customers deposit currency and
checks and when the proceeds of loans made by the banks are credited to
borrowers' accounts .... Then, bankers discovered that they could make loans
merely by giving their promises to pay, or bank notes, to borrowers. In this way,
banks began to create money .... Transaction deposits are the modern
counterpart of bank notes.
Page 7, Example 3, Expansion-Stage 1:
"Expansion takes place only if the banks that hold these excess reserves
increase their loans or investments. Loans are made by crediting the borrower's
deposit account, i.e., by creating additional deposit money."
"Stage 7: Expansion continues as the banks that have excess reserves increase
their loans by that amount, crediting borrowers' deposit accounts in the process,
thus creating still more money."
Points of Interest
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago
Public Information Center
P. O. Box 834
Chicago, IL 60690-0834
312-322-5111
Page 6-7, Paragraphs 7-10:
"Banks and Deposit Creation
Depository institutions, which for simplicity we will call banks, are different from
other financial institutions because they offer checking accounts and make loans
by lending checkbook deposits. The deposit creation activity, essentially creating
money, affects interest rates because these deposits are part of savings, the
source of the supply of credit. Banks create deposits by making loans. Rather
than handing cash to borrowers, banks simply increase balances in borrowers'
checking accounts. Borrowers can then draw checks to pay for goods and
services. This creation of checking accounts through loans is just as much a
deposit as one we might make by pushing a ten-dollar bill through the teller's
window. With all of the nation's banks able to increase the supply of credit in this
fashion, credit could conceivably expand without limit .... When banks create
checkbook deposits, they create money as well as credit since these deposits
are part of the money supply."
Two Faces of Debt

Public Information Center
P. O. Box 834
Chicago, IL 60690-0834

Page 19, Paragraphs 3-5:
"For an individual institution, they arise typically when a depositor brings in
currency or checks drawn on other institutions. The depositor's balance rises,
but the currency he or she holds or the deposits someone else holds are reduced
a corresponding amount. The public's total money supply is not changed.
But a depositor's balance also rises when the depository institution extends
credit-either by granting a loan to or buying securities from the depositor. In
exchange for the note or security, the lending or investing institution credits the
depositor's account or gives a check that can be deposited at yet another
depository institution. In this case, no one else loses a deposit. The total of
currency and checkable deposits-the money supply-is increased. New money
has been brought into existence by expansion of depository institution credit.
Such newly created funds are in addition to funds that all financial institutions
provide in their operations as intermediaries between savers and users of
savings.
But individual depository institutions cannot expand credit and create deposits
without limit. Furthermore, most of the deposits they create are soon transferred
to other institutions. A deposit created through lending is a debt that has to be
paid on demand of the depositor, just the same as the debt arising from a
customer's deposit of checks or currency in a bank."
On 10/2/01, I deposited $11,972.67 with NCMIC Finance Corp..
I provided the funds for this account with my deposit.
The account number was 5455 8912 0000 2906.
I paid fees and interest for this service.
NCMIC Finance Corp. paid me nothing for my deposit.

At no cost to the plaintiff, plaintiff obtained defendant's money by deceptive business

lend money to the defendant upon credit approval. Defendant's application for credit was
used to originate the money for the purported credit account and plaintiff lent none of this
money to the defendant. Defendant was not aware of the manner in which plaintiff originated
6
the money for the purported credit account and had been deceived into believing that the
plaintiff would lend the money in the origination of the account. Defendant's deposit has
never been returned and plaintiff has consistently taken measures to conceal the accounting
records involving the transaction so as to avoid detection.
17. Counter plaintiff demands a jury trial.

DEFENDANT'S VERIFIED MOTION TO STRIKE COMPLAINT
Comes now the defendant and requests an order striking plaintiff's complaint for the
reason that the pleading is a sham and is intended solely to misrepresent material facts to the
court.
The complaint implies that money was lent to the defendant; however, no money was
debited from the plaintiff's assets at the time defendant's account was credited or opened.
No assets within the control or ownership of the plaintiff were lent to the defendant. The
complaint fails to sufficiently allege that money was provided by the plaintiff to the defendant
because the source of such money is not identified and the complaint fails to allege that any
money was lent.
WHEREFORE defendant requests an order striking plaintiffs complaint.
