I killed the Czar and his ministers

PBE is like the Post Office. “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night…” PBE delivers.  Just the other day Doctor Capone asked about the Mercury/Alliance debacle.  This morning, I look in my inbox and POOF!

10-20-09mercury letter

The operative word in the letter is “might”.  Most of the Alliance, Mercury, and Financial folks will remember that David Balter is the attorney for the State of California Labor Commission.  He was on this like a duck on a junebug back in 2007.  Mr. Balter really cares about the folks who got caught in Jerry & Patty’s scheme.  This is about recovering the lost wages, vacation pay stolen by Jerry Hauptman and Patty Hauptman when the companies failed. You know, 10 minutes after they both took their own salaries and skulked off to their mountain home.  Apparently these days Patty Hauptman is billing herself as an “Independent Management Consulting Professional“.  Apparently because she did such a professional job of managing Mercury Companies…nevermind.  You’ll be pleased to know that Jerry Hauptman is a “Management Consultant” at…yep, the Evil Empire.  I’m going to change my LinkedIn profile to simply read “Her Satanic Majesty”.

And remember, don’t buy Bill’s plonk.  The wine industry needs to say “no” to Bill Foley.  Leave it on the shelf.  The title insurance community has learned the hard way why Bill Foley is bad for business, and we all know why he’s bad for the consumer.  Don’t let the Burgermeister do to the wine industry what he did to the title industry.
