Arthur Charchian was Vicken's attorney, along with several others who took his case against Oracle on contingency, starting February 2008. Arthur promised Vicken to be his protector from the other shark lawyers, but by the Summer of 2009, Arthur left Vicken's legal team, when Vicken continued with others, and had meetings with the high ranking Special Agent of DoD Inspector General's office. In late February 2011, Bill Guffey filed Vicken's wrongful termination complaint against Oracle, and Vicken's allegations about Oracle's fraud with the context related coverup were stated there.

Arthur called Vicken out of the blue within a week after Bill's complaint, and told him there is a company that is having a horrible time with their Oracle implementation. Arthur promised Vicken that if Vicken manages to succeed on turning the company's failure around, then Arthur was going to take Vicken's story and the company's story to large law firms, and that was going to be Vicken's break to big law firms. For over a year, Arthur had carefully studied Vicken's 100% success rate on the toughest cases at Oracle Database Support. Vicken eventually concluded that this was a gimmick to destroy his credibility, it is Vicken's conclusion that Arthur was in on it, but Vicken prevailed.

The company's name is Southwest Traders, and the first 8 links in the Acknowledgements link in this website provide proof. Vicken's crazy 12-page resume also has more detail. Vicken turned the tables on Oracle, but Arthur had demoted Vicken from his client to his contractor, and this email below is from when Vicken first visited Southwest Traders, and in 10 minutes solved a catastrophic system freeze problem and contacted Oracle Support. Arthur was trying to control events as tightly as possible. He did not like the fact that Vicken is talking to Oracle directly.

Vicken's work stabilized the system, and the famous Los Angeles lawyer Tom Girardi and his law firm Girardi & Keese took Vicken's material, called it "Attorney work product", filed a $400 million lawsuit for Southwest Traders, and fired Vicken. Girardi & Keese has the lawyer's version of Vicken's story. Had, they no longer are around.
