The fact is that although the response from the USPS would have been very weak even if the package containing my brief to the court was delivered late or even lost altogether, the response from the USPS here regarding the event in question is even much weaker. That is because the event in question does not even allow interpretations based on mistakes and less than expected performance from the USPS. The only interpretation that event allows is that of an intentional action because it is not in line in any way with how the USPS does its delivery business and clearly required more instead of less effort and attention to be carried out. If delivering the package within the normal business hours was not feasible, the path of waiting for the next day is not only the normal and better and closer to mind path than attempting delivery of the package after 10:30 in the night but also the one that requires less effort and less special attention.
The level of corruption the like of this hedge fund guy enjoy in this country made him act within the luxury of choosing a very unusual and for which it is the hardest to come up with an excuse plan and made the USPS do it for him. By delivering the package late so the court wont receive it at the delivery time and leaving a note the event would represent a situation for the package to be stuck in neither received nor not received. The brief was mailed on the last filing day allowed (date of filing for an appeal brief is the date of mailing it) so it wouldn't have been without complications had I tried to send substitute copies. In addition, there is the possibility that could be argued as being a failure to timely file the brief by the opposing party. A lawyer experienced in dealing with such technicalities of the courts probably could have found his way through such situation easily but the same cannot be said about a layman like me and the hedge fund guy knows that.
It is very clear that the delivery attempt for my brief to that court at 10:30 in the night was part of a plan arranged with the USPS.It is a very low probability, if any, that event was not part of that conspiracy plan. And if one wonder if there could have been some kind of special events or incidents that led to that delivery attempt, the response from the USPS significantly cancelled even that unsupported assumed probability. The most significant way with which the response from the USPS had cancelled such possibility was when it mentioned that "we cannot state with certainty what actually happened after that time and the carrier cannot recall". That is because by stating that he/she cant recall what happened, the carrier is indirectly suggesting through his own admission the absence of any other significant event or incident that could have led to a delivery attempt to the court at 10:30 in the night. In addition, although any claim that the delivery attempt at 10:30 PM did not really happen, is weak and can be refuted through various elements of the whole picture, that statement from the carrier proves more that the event really happened. That is because only someone who is trying to avoid the possibility of facts revealing things different from what he is saying would claim that he cannot recall such an unusual event. Otherwise he should have responded that he did not attempt to deliver any package to the court after 10:30 in the night.
