It was related to Pileum.

Related in what way? I was not aware that Pileum played any role at USM during that era.

I believe there was a Pileum/WorldCom connection, but I can't remember exactly. Any other old-timer out there remember what was posted on the FS board?

There were posts on the old website that might have insinuated the "cross-training" of executives.

I have heard, but have not ever confirmed, that Jill Beneke (blonde lady in light blue suit on the front row of the Stringer/Glamser hearings), currently a highlevel employee of Pileum, was employed by World Com.

I've also heard that Ms. Beneke has been seen round campus a lot recently . . .

These are both rumors, as far as my own knowledge goes. But maybe some dogged research buff out there can trace the Pileum-Beneke-WorldCom connections?

NO QUARTER.

From the June 22, 2004 Liberty & Power: Group Blog: "President of Pileum, Jill Beneke, sat close by as Thames read aloud from intercepted emails during the hearing last week."

Why was she on the front row? SFT orchestrated where she sat, but why did he think it was beneficial to have her there up front?

Looking back into this website's historical postings - look what I found, unrelated to any discussions of recent days.

educator,

Why was Jill Beneke in the front row, near Thames? A couple of those who reported from the April 28 hearing assumed she might be able to prompt him about additional intercepted emails. since Pileum had been brought in to do that kind of dirty work.

As for possible connections between Beneke and WorldCom, I take it that nothing else has turned up.
