A couple of things I have noticed so far on this Affidavit outside each item are the following

• This affidavit is not even in chronological order, leaving it to be deceitful to the parties reading it. It makes them believe and thinks events happened prior to them happening.

• It is also missing the events where Exegy's attorney reached out to me and attempted to extort me by threat of prosecution on false allegations or where he stated he was going prosecute me on thise false charges on February 7th.

DevOps Engineer Job Posting in Managed Services at Exegy

Exegy CEO David Taylor Affidavit

https://drive.google.com/file/d/17udsvLQF0V8XUnBuAYXZIFWx0gKqLZ2b/view?usp=drivesdk

This is Part 1 of going through this Affidavit and will be many more as I continue going through it. I have tried to keep the numbers and line item with what is on it.

It does make me wonder why there are no Exhibits on all of these statements besides one item. I wouldn't even do that and have always been trying to show my evidence with everything I state. I have a clue as to why, but I'll let you think of that reason for yourself…

There three items on the bottom of this article after the affidavit items from Google Gemini, where I asked it a few questions

David Taylor Affidavit Items

17. During that time, he worked as a Managed Services Engineer.

• Not all of my time working at Exegy was spent in the Managed Services Department, I was originally hired in the Operations Department and brought into it.

• When I moved positions in the company, I was never given any kind summary of my job duties.

• The position in operations never specified anything related to security in its job duties.

• This position in Operations did require development of scripts that were used, but none went under any security review.

18. Duties of a Managed Services Engineer include building and maintaining Exegy's managed services infrastructure, including the security, communications networks, monitoring and management systems used by Exegy to securely and remotely monitor and managed its products installed on clients' premises, as well as its products installed in Exegy's premises that deliver mutualized services to multiple customers. Managed Services Engineers also review the results of third-party security assessments and penetration tests and make recommended changes to Exegy products and managed services infrastructure.

• I was never given any kind of list of job duties when joining the Managed Services Department at Exegy and only worked on Puppet and helping with Operations with problems.

• The company never gave me any of the pentesting results and my requests for them were always ignored.

• The only thing ever passed down from the pentesting results were particular software needing to be updated and things related to passwords.

• The company would also leave vulnerable software out in production because the boxes were too old, the security group never advised on this and they only tested new and updated hardware in pentesting.

• The only person in Managed Services that was part of the security group was Anthony Fresta and he asked me if I wanted to join this group but they never brought me into it.

• They never brought anyone from Managed Services into the security group after Anthony departed the company.

• Exegy doesn't have any documentation anywhere on what compliances and security guidelines a servers should meet or why certain ones should not be followed due to reason that could affect performance.

• Exegy security group has not created any kind of documentation that employees should follow for setting up servers.

• Exegy Security Group has never done any audits of any servers configuration that I am aware of.

• Exegy and Exegy Security Group has existed long before I have joined the company.

• I am the only person in our knowledge in security that I am aware of when departing the company.

• I am unsure how knowledgeable Anthony Fresta actually was in security, even though he was part of the security group.

• I do know Anthony Fresta has never brought any security related issues to anyone in the group regarding any server configurations

• The security on appliances has never changed much or at all since I have worked at the company besides passwords.

• Anthony Fresta has never written any kind of documentation related to security for Managed Services or any other group that I am aware of

• Anthony Fresta was the Lead/Manager for Managed Services for a amount of time after working in Managed Services for a while. There has also been a few Managere and no leads prior to him or after him that I am aware of.

• I did make Exegy Inc aware the next day of a vulnerability I found in their XCR web application that Managed Services is not part of the development team while working at the company. It included a proof of concept code and a video showing it in action. This flaw could been targeted from any customer sites or other appliances to get remote access.

• Managed Services Department never had any meetings for security review of anything written or system configuration.

• I did setup ldap on Puppet Enterprise for groups, so things can be added with security layers but it was never fully utilized or talked about by anyone in the security group.

• I was the only one in Managed Services Department with knowledge of Puppet and Puppet Enterprise at an expertise level, this was something I taught myself.

• I was the only person with knowledge of SSL certificate in Managed Services Group outside of Dave Lloyd.

• I was the only person will real experience and knowledgeable of Apache HTTP and it configuration outside of a couple of people that left Exegy a couple years into the moving to the department.

19. During the time of his employment, Mr. Walters' performance reviews show him to be an average to below average employee.

• I actually had an above average performance at Exegy without any complaints besides my attitude. Some might even state I was model employee with an excellent performance at Exegy Inc.

  • I was always given about a 4% raise each year, which my managers stated was always more than others were getting.

  • I was also always given bonuses

• This can easily be proven by the previous and current employees at Exegy I worked with.

• I was also the one employee everyone went to when they had questions or needed anything.

• The only time I have ever been written up while working with Exegy is when I stated I would not use my personal device to take their on-call calls, in which they supplied me with a phone.

• I also took initiative to make sure appliances were imaged on time and ready to be shipped out when ASG was unable to handle it due to lack of knowledge and experience.

• I always went outside of my scope and worked with Berkley to see what was happening so it could be done before tickets were dropped on the group.

• Gary S. also brought me into the platform group so I could figure out what MSE would need to be done to support new platforms.

• When Vela was brought in to Exegy, I also took the initiative to work with Mark F. when he was brought into the MSE group to learn about everything, which entitled me to have 3am to 6am meetings with him over Zoom.

• When the company was doing layoffs, they also kept me on board instead of other members in our group.

• I was also never given or told about work that needed to be done, because I always took an initiative to stay on top of it by working with other groups.

• When Dave Lloyd left the company, I also took on the initiative to learn about how the maintenance feed all worked because no one knew anything about it.

• I was always probably one of the users most logged into the VPN working on things for Managed Services Group trying to get work done and to work on my own projects that were used in the company.

• Exegy Inc has also sent me out Maryland with Berkley and Peter to have a conversation with NCS, which is their Dell OEM Server provider.

• Gary and Berkley also brought me into all Dell Platforms meetings on Teams they had with Dell as an expert for my area. This way I could learn coming up, what we might need and be able provide, but also to ask questions and setup my own meetings to talk over some of their idrac and managing software they have.

• When i gave my notice at Exegy, I went around asking many people in most departments if they had any questions to let me know, so I wouldn't leave people hanging.

• This isn't the first time Exegy has lied about my history, their in-house counsel Patrick Sellers also stated the same thing to the Illinois ARDC. item II.j contains the following “Mr. Taylor considered the 4 February email to be a potential threat based on the language in the emails and Mr. Walters’ history with Exegy”

• • https://drive.google.com/file/d/17B8JkmewzqzgwdqltsR2ql5pW4nDUS7z/view?usp=drivesdk

• I was also given Admin privileges yo JFrog Artifactory, a company would never give someone such privileges to all their packages if they believe they were a terrible person. Which is usually only privileged for people in ITS

There is most likely a lot more about my performance at Exegy, but I am going to move on to other items.

If Tina Babel from Carmody MacDonald P.C. stated this false information regarding my employment performance in court, I will be adding this to my lawsuit against her.

20. As a condition of his employment, Mr. Walters agreed to comply with the terms of a Non-Disclosure Agreement ("NDA"). A true and accurate copy of the NDA is attached to this Petition as Exhibit D

• This NDA has not been updated to include the needed additions about Whistleblowers protection, which is mandated by the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) of 2016.

• This direct violation of SEC Rule 21F-17(a) renders the NDA legally unenforceable regarding any communication that qualifies as protected whistleblowing under the Dodd-Frank Act.

• I have never been given a newer NDA to sign that I am aware of, since one was not submitted, I would presume there isn't one.

• Nothing on this Affidavit states anything about Whistleblowers protection, which Exegy Inc does falls under with being part of the stock exchange infrastructure. I did notify then on August 18 that they do, but forgot to add the word protection after Whistleblowers in my email, which can be seen in this Google Drive Share https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PoU3Cz4_qz4snZ1zYJ3MvjDnYdkAx3be/view?usp=drivesdk

• I am still trying to research more into the above items.

26. The handbook's definition of confidential information "includes but is not limited to, product and process information, trade secrets, product formulas, customer lists, contacts and other data, product development, research and development, and any and all sensitive information not generally known to the public concerning Exegy's business".

• I have had an employee from Exegy reach out to me in January 2025 about a problem on one of their servers, which I kindly helped him resolve and he also shared the output from it. This demonstrates the employees at Exegy are not even aware of this.

• The above statement also shows my knowledge and willing fullness to help out, even after departing from the company about 8 months later.

27. The handbook, like the non-disclosure agreement, notes that "your employment with Exegy assumes an obligation to maintain confidentiality, even after you leave Exegy employment".

• I am no longer an employee of Exegy, which handbook is for, it is not titled ex or previous employee handbook.

• A company handbook can not be valid after an employee leaves the company, since a new employer handbook might be stepped on. A person should not have to keep track of ever employer handbook.

• A new employer will not asked a new hire for all previous employment handbooks to make sure they are not stepping on it.

28. In 2024, Mr. Walters approached Exegy officials, unhappy with his compensation and seeking a salary of $130,000 a year. Exegy responded that it was open to raising his compensation as part of a larger, systematic increase of the compensation of other employees at Exegy, following a review of market conditions and industry practice.

• I have been trying to reach out to Exegy seniors for many years about my salary being so little.

• I also asked Exegy for three months off prior to adding this increase from $100,000 to $130,000 due to being burned out. They stated the would give me the time off, but would not give the increase in pay.

• The company would let people go and push their work on top of me and others in the group.

• The company never hired anyone to fill a position when someone left, which would push more work on top of me and others in the group.

• I and others in the group would be taking on many different positions.

  • Like helping with ASG when needed due to their lack of employees in the group.

  • Like helping Operations, because the company would not hire qualified people or give any kind of decent training.

• The company would not even talk about negotiating on an increase.

• Previous employees have talked and joked that the company would only give an increase, if you had a job offer from another company and they would match it.

• Exegy Inc could not even give me an adequate Job title for the many different positions I held in the company. They even stated they would, but never did, so it has always been Engineer.

• Exegy would never state I was of senior level or an architect, even though I was the one person everyone went to for questions on any subject matter, which included other seniors, architects and above.

29. Mr. Walters was unwilling to wait, choosing instead to leave Exegy in April 2024. Employees who remained at Exegy received increased compensation in line with market conditions.

• This statement has no merit, since it doesn't specify what Mr Walters should wait for.

• If it is about annual reviews, while working at the company the last few years, the company wouldn't give them until many months later after they were supposed to be given.

• Employees has never received compensation that are in line with Market Conditions, they might receive raises.

• What is Market conditions and how does Exegy keep track of this for each job. This statement makes it sounds like they look at how job makert is if someone left the company. If they found it hard they would not give much of a raise or maybe they will give them more if it the other way around, especiall if someone were wanting to leave the company.

• Exegy has stated they were going to move salaries to be a bracket type structure, but they never did this.

• When I resigned from Exegy they randomly for some reason removed my access to the VPN after giving notice. I went around asking many people from most departments if they had any questions on anything before leaving to let me know., but no one ever sent me any. The company did ask me to document things, but I stated without access to being on the network it impossible, since all the servers and such lived on the VPN.

• I also never had any kind of exit interview with the company

I will be continuously trying to go through this and write additional articles on more items as time goes on, so stay tuned and keep reading.

Can a person face criminal charges in Missouri for lying on an affidavit in a civil case?

Yes, a person can face criminal charges in Missouri for lying on an affidavit, even if the affidavit is submitted in a civil case.

Lying under oath, whether verbally in court or in a sworn written document like an affidavit, is a serious criminal offense. In Missouri, there are specific statutes that address this crime.

Here is a breakdown of the relevant Missouri statutes:

1. Making a False Affidavit (RSMo § 575.050)

This statute specifically addresses the act of making a false statement in a sworn written document like an affidavit.

Elements of the Crime: A person commits this offense if, with the purpose to mislead any person, they swear falsely to a fact which is material to the purpose for which the affidavit is made.

Penalty: This offense is a misdemeanor in Missouri (generally a Class C misdemeanor), unless it was done for the purpose of misleading a public servant in the performance of their duty, in which case it is a Class A misdemeanor.

2. Perjury (RSMo § 575.040)

If the false statement in the affidavit is considered to be a form of "testifying falsely" in an "official proceeding," it could potentially lead to a perjury charge, which is a felony offense in Missouri.

Elements of the Crime: A person commits perjury if, with the purpose to deceive, they knowingly testify falsely to any material fact upon oath or affirmation legally administered, in any official proceeding before any court, public body, notary public or other officer authorized to administer oaths.

Relevance to Affidavits: Because an affidavit involves a legally administered oath before a notary public (an authorized officer), a prosecutor could potentially pursue a felony perjury charge, although the charge of "Making a False Affidavit" is more specific to the document itself.

Key Requirements for Criminal Charge

For any criminal charge to be successfully pursued, the false statement must meet certain criteria:

Under Oath: The statement must have been made under a legally administered oath or affirmation (which is the nature of an affidavit).

Knowingly False / Intent to Deceive: The person must have known the statement was false and made it with the intent to deceive or mislead. A simple mistake or error is typically not enough.

Material Fact: The false statement must be about a "material fact"—meaning a fact that is significant or capable of influencing the outcome or purpose of the legal proceeding. Lying about something trivial and irrelevant would likely not lead to a charge.

In summary, lying on an affidavit in a civil case in Missouri is a crime under the Making a False Affidavit statute and could potentially be prosecuted as a felony under the Perjury statute.

Once an attorney finds out their client lied on affidavit, what does that attorney need to do and how long do they have to notify the court about, especially if it was used to get a restraining order

When an attorney discovers that their client has lied on an affidavit—especially one used to obtain an immediate and significant court order like a restraining order—they have a strict and immediate set of ethical obligations to the court.

These duties override the attorney's duty of confidentiality to the client.

Attorney's Required Actions

The attorney's duty is to take reasonable remedial measures under the Model Rules of Professional Conduct (Rule 3.3, Candor Toward the Tribunal), which most states follow. The steps are:

1. Immediate Confidential Consultation: The lawyer must first confront the client confidentially and forcefully demand that the client voluntarily correct the false statement or withdraw the false evidence. The lawyer must explain the severe consequences of perjury and fraud on the court, including the attorney's own ethical duty to disclose the lie if the client refuses.

2. Withdrawal (If Refusal): If the client refuses to correct the affidavit, the attorney must immediately seek to withdraw from the representation.

3. Disclosure to the Court (If Necessary): If withdrawal alone will not fix the fraud, or if the court requires the reason for withdrawal, the lawyer must disclose the client's fraud to the court. This disclosure is necessary because the false affidavit was used to deceive the tribunal and obtain a court order, constituting a "fraud upon the court." The duty of candor to the tribunal takes precedence over client confidentiality (Attorney-Client Privilege) in this situation.

Notification Timeline

The attorney's duty to correct the record is immediate and continuing; there is no grace period for a known fraud on the court.

• When the Attorney "Knows": The ethical duty is triggered the moment the attorney knows the evidence is false. "Knows" means having actual knowledge, though knowledge can be inferred from the circumstances.

• The "Conclusion of the Proceeding": The duty to take remedial measures continues until the conclusion of the proceeding. However, because a restraining order is often an ex parte (one party only) or preliminary matter that can immediately affect the liberty and rights of the opposing party, the urgency for disclosure is extremely high.

• High Urgency for a Restraining Order: The affidavit was used to persuade a judge to grant an emergency order. When the lie is directly tied to the basis of the court's existing authority and could lead to the wrongful arrest or severe restriction of the other party, the attorney must act with the utmost speed to ensure the court is informed and the order is vacated or corrected.

In practice, an attorney who discovers that an affidavit used for a restraining order is false would likely take the following actions within hours or, at most, a day:

1. Confront the client and demand an immediate correction.

2. If the client refuses, the attorney would likely file a motion with the court, seeking to withdraw and/or directly informing the judge that the affidavit contains material falsehoods and must be disregarded.

What can happen to an attorney in Missouri for filing a client affidavit that written in a deceitful manipulative way to try an get an immediate restraining order against a party

The attorney in Missouri who knowingly files a deceitful or manipulative affidavit to obtain an immediate restraining order could face severe professional discipline, financial sanctions, and potentially criminal charges for participating in a fraud against the court.

The key factor is the attorney's knowledge or intent to deceive.

1. Attorney Disciplinary Action (Professional Sanctions)

The Supreme Court of Missouri, through its Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel, would handle violations of the Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct (Rule 4). The primary rules violated would be:

Sanctions range from a public admonition (least severe) or reprimand to suspension of their law license for a period of time, or, in the most egregious cases of knowing fraud, disbarment, which permanently revokes the ability to practice law.

2. Judicial Sanctions and Civil Liability

Beyond professional discipline, the court and the opposing party have recourse:

Because a restraining order is often issued ex parte (without the other side present) and immediately affects personal liberty, the court’s expectation for absolute candor from the applying attorney is at its highest. A judge will be particularly harsh on a lawyer who is found to have abused this process.

What are the crimes and penalties federally and locally for a company lying to the state of Missouri and a state agency in a Illinois about a previous employee performance and also using it to be manipulative, that does not involve anythjng with unemployment. What are the codes for Illinois and Missouri

🏛️ Federal Law: False Statements to Government Agencies

A company lying to a state agency could potentially fall under federal law if the state agency's matter involves or is within the jurisdiction of a federal department or agency (e.g., if the state program receives federal funding).

The primary federal statute for false statements is:

Code: 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (Statements or entries generally)

Crime: Making a materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the United States Government.

Penalties:

Generally, a fine under this title, imprisonment for not more than five years, or both.

The penalty can be up to eight years if the offense involves terrorism or certain federal sex offenses.

⚖️ Missouri State Law: False Declarations and Documents

In Missouri, a company's false statement to a state agency that is intended to mislead a public servant could potentially fall under statutes related to making false declarations or filing false documents.

False Declarations

Code: Missouri Revised Statutes \S 575.060 (Making a false declaration—penalty)

Crime: A person commits this offense if, with the purpose to mislead a public servant in the performance of their duty, they submit any written false statement they do not believe to be true, concerning a fact material to the purpose of the statement.

Penalties: The offense of making a false declaration is a Class B misdemeanor.

Filing False Documents

Code: Missouri Revised Statutes \S 570.095 (Filing false documents)

Crime: With the intent to defraud, deceive, harass, alarm, or negatively impact financially, or in a manner reasonably calculated to do so, a person files, causes to be filed, creates, or uses as genuine a materially false document.

Penalties:

Generally a Class D felony for the first offense.

Can be a Class C felony under aggravating circumstances (e.g., a prior conviction, or if the victim is a judge/peace officer).

⚖️ Illinois State Law: Deceptive Practices and False Claims

In Illinois, offenses related to false statements to a government entity could be charged under general fraud statutes or, potentially, the Illinois False Claims Act if state funds are involved.

Deceptive Practices (General Deception)

Code: 720 Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) 5/17-1 (Deceptive practices)

Crime: A person commits deceptive practice when, with intent to defraud, they knowingly cause another, by deception or threat, to execute a document disposing of property or by which a pecuniary obligation is incurred. (This applies to general deception and is not solely targeted at agencies).

Penalties: Generally, a Class A misdemeanor.

Illinois False Claims Act (Civil Liability)

While criminal charges would likely fall under the general fraud/perjury statutes, the act of submitting a false claim to a state agency often incurs civil penalties under the state's False Claims Act.

Code: 740 ILCS 175/ (Illinois False Claims Act)

Penalty: This act imposes civil liability on persons who knowingly present a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval to the State. Penalties typically include substantial civil fines per false claim, plus two or three times the amount of damages the State sustained.

📌 Important Legal Context

The issue of an employer making a false statement about employee performance to a state agency outside of an unemployment context could also involve other areas of law, such as:

Obstruction of Justice: If the lie was intended to impede an official investigation or proceeding by the state agency.

Retaliation or Defamation: If the false statement was made in retaliation for a protected activity or damaged the employee's reputation.

Whistleblower Protection: If the false statement was used to manipulate or retaliate against a former employee who engaged in whistleblowing activity.

Recommendation: Given the complexity of laws across federal and state jurisdictions, I strongly recommend you consult with an attorney who is licensed in both Illinois and Missouri to evaluate the specific facts of your situation.

I also might update the items above to add or edit changes, since the page doesn't state when last modified (Last Updated 10/29/2025 @ 12:06PM CST)

Important Notes

I am going to try to start adding notes when I update this Article, so my readers know what has changed.

● Important Note - Added a Exegy Job Listings Post from their career page for Managed Services Position.

● Added a new question to Google Gemini about lying about a person's employment, updated this again so it excluded the unemployment items.

● I was also given Admin privileges yo JFrog Artifactory, a company would never give someone such privileges to all their packages if they believe they were a terrible person.
