Dear Tom and Lester,
Back the spring of 1989 while visiting Hong Kong on my way
to China I ran into a white South African gentleman by the name of Jonathan
Beare a pretty well known figure in the international investment community
although I would be surprised if you have heard of him, principally his
reluctance to engage in “hostile” situations which is something
your firm not only specialize in but I think it would be fair to say you folks
are possibly the very best in the world, ipsofacto why the most rapacious
leverage buyout group in the world, Citicorp Ventures aka Citicorp Venture
Capital Ltd. [CVC] have u running interference, not tu suggest for a solitary
second, lest I end up in a jail cell with the too of u, that either of u have
allowed your formal education to interfere with your learning.
Earlier this morning at 11:15 AM PST to be precise I spoke
with Jonathan Beare’s nephew, Derrick Beare, who informed me that tonight
is the first night of Succoth where Jewish families who fight with one another
all year round now suck up to one another as they chow down on their fruits,
many thinking that if they eat a lot of bran
it would help all the indigestion they are “currantly” [sic] getting,
from my emails, that I can assure you are reaching the 4 corners of the planet
in less time than it takes either of you to hear the other one fart.
And of course I know that as much as the two of u like one
another your firm can afford to have you both in private offices with G-D only
knows how many more secretaries you have floating around, possibly even more
than Mr. Jeffrey R. Krinsk Esq, his wife, Campbell Soup, I don’t believe
related to James Campbell who according to Note 16. Litigation, page F-25 in
the NOTES TO [STRATOS LIGHT WAVE
INC’S] CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, BLAH BLAH, states,
“In August
2002, James Campbell filed a lawsuit… Tsunami…”
CVC not tu be confused with CVS pharmacy
the drug chain who conspired with Revlon Corporation aka Ronald “The Finagle King” Perelman to deceive
shareholders although to the best of my knowledge neither Revlon nor CVS or any
of its officers-directors have yet to be charged with criminal misconduct, Mr.
Perelman though within a picosecond or too after this
deposition was taken by a “skilled &
experienced” attorney decided to call it quits perhaps, thinking the time
would come when The Rattlesnake would slip
up.
Now if u r thinking that maybe Mr. Newell
Starks may be able to pin the Tiananmen Square massacre on me, me no donkey,
the fact that just a week or too prior I had spoken with a group of students at
the top of the Beijing Hotel overlooking this rather famous square, I say you
should have Mr. Starks now take his very best shot but be4 he does anything at
this time including showing up at the 2003 annual meeting of Stratos
shareholders tu be held his coming,
November 6th,
located at
he may decide to have the captain of his private jet look
for an alternative spot to hide, perhaps even seeking refuge in
And of course u know by know that this unbelievable
gentleman who gave me so much of his time along with David “Crazy”
Altman back in 1995 as he sold his electorate “down the drain”
found it within himself to autograph an identical photo to this
one.
Now of course this is all my opinion although water going
down a drain in the southern hemisphere is known to twist
a little differently, agree?
I can just sense the two of you are ready to “rock and roll” so here
goes.
And because I am under the gun to get a number of things out
of the way be4 calling it quits today I will only check this email on Monday,
perhaps Tuesday when I could be in Belgium, anything is possible, even King
Cong showing up, better yet how about a revival of the Gong Show, not tu be
confused with Ken Blanchard’s Gung Ho, and u of
course have a copy somewhere of his One Minute Manager,
agree?
Your time and my time is precious but I cannot say the same
about Newell Starks who has gone AWOL [Absent With Out Leave] 4 quite sum time,
my thinking at one point that he had in fact followed through on his
protestations and joined the missionary as everything he touched over the past
decade or so imploded to mention little of AME, the one time not-so-little post
production company located in Hollywood once headed up by Buster Starks’
more recent partner Mr. Dennis
Stanfill, the former CEO and Chairman of MGM +++.
Both of u and I have spoken on and off, perhaps no more than
10X over the past several years but I don’t think we ever got into
exactly what caused the AME deal that would have been quite a coup for the Steinhardt
Partners Divestiture Fund [SPDF] tu blow up, acquiring the assets for less than
10 cents on the dollar within just a couple of years of Newell getting CVC and
its banking partners to put up sum $130 million and of course this amount of
money is chomp change to a group like Citicorp so geared toward as Newell would
so self-righteously say, “management friendly”,
SPDF headed up by the reckless Michael Steinhardt who had “Mr. Good Guy”
in the form of Professor Doctor Rabbi Weiss show up, presiding over the
nuptials of his daughter to a kid who went to the same school as
me.
No doubt a lot of folks would call what happened earlier
this afternoon around 3PM PST just another coincidence which of course it was
but without getting into how many coincidences does it take be4 it is no longer a
coincidence let me just say that I was about halfway thru this email when I
noticed an email from Richard
Cooper the son of Irving Cooper who is now deceased which caused me to take
a break and head to the beach.
Suffice to say Irving “Irv” Cooper was one of
the founding partners of Steinhardt Partners who played as active a role as
anyone his age could have been expected to do in trying to facilitate the deal
involving AME, not that he felt the need to make more money but at the time he
was very eager to c me succeed playing in the big leagues with mostly boys who
don’t know the first thing about sharing, being fair, and of course it
should come as no surprise that Ms. Martha “Pitch Fork” Stewart got
her teeth cut when pleasing the likes of Michael Steinhardt, who over my dead
body, should be allowed to be buried on any place on this planet, the entire
place being sacred not just Jerusalem; I say when his time comes he be fed to
the fishes, an insult tu bottom fishes were he tu return as one, the more I
think about his next “shot at bat” probably a baseball, cap,
at best.
Gentlemen, that last hyperlink takes u to a rather important
document one that the Wetherly Capital Group folks including their attorneys
would prefer simply didn’t exist and lets assume u haven’t been
following any of my other emails may I suggest u hang in there so as tu be more
enlightened on matters so important, nothing quite like a discussion of
“Church & State” for another time as the church bells next to
The Cave now ring.
It is exactly 6PM PST and my plan is still not tu review
this email until perhaps next week, maybe never, considering the other more
stimulating things I have on my plate at this time, i.e. better use of my time,
not tu be confused with “use of proceeds.”
Let me know though, if u have trouble accessing my email to
Rich Cooper or any of the other emails.
And of course there is nothing “tongue in cheek”
about the “management friendly” statement of Mr. Starks and I can
assure you he was not high on drugs at the time, although I couldn’t be
certain, “proof”, not that I need remind you both is a function of
evidence, the better the evidence the better the proof, the greatest respect
thou 4 u both.
Naturally, I like u both a great deal as well even though we
have yet tu meet, at least not in this lifetime although there cannot be the
certainty that we haven’t run into one another at one or more airports
over the years, both of you showing, at a minimum, tu be giving generously of
your time, no doubt tu someone who may be on to a good thing, agree?
Newell Starks is unquestionably one of the smartest
financial engineers walking the planet although I don’t see anything on
page 69 of the merger proposal between Stratos Lightware and the Sterling
Holding Company that refers to his foray with Texas Instruments [TI] where I
would think at least a handful of folks would credit him with having invented
the notebook computer certainly at least one of the too top dogs who left TI to
form Compaq Computer had good reason for wanting Mr. Starks as the 3rd
leg of the stool.
Unless of course that individual-s thought they could end up
with the short end of the stick to stir
their vodka which brings me to the promissory note
I received from Mr. Starks in the spring of 2001, on or around May 18th,
2001 which was just over 12 years since Jonathan Beare and I met at I think it
was the Regent Hotel as my bathwater overflowed on the top floor bringing out
what I later heard was nothing short of the entire Hong Kong fire department,
road works crews, I couldn’t tell the difference, they all looked the
same.
Wouldn’t it be sumthing if for every second one of us
living in the
But incredibly, I had left the water running thinking I
would be kibitzing with Jonathan for just a minute or too, smart enough though
to keep the water flowing at a moderately low pace, u know about Chinese water
treatment facilities, my simply not being able to get Vivendi’s US
Filter holdings here in the United States out of my mind for more than a
nanosecond or too.
When, however, Jonathan started to mention something along
the lines of my “mad”
step-father, Alan Zulman, I sat back in the rather comfortable setting
overlooking Hong Kong bay, knocked back a scotch or too, the first and only
time I have actually drunk close to a glass of hard liquor and by the time my 3rd
glass was finished dosed down of course with a couple of handfuls of peanuts, u
know the expression u pay peanuts u end up with chimpanzees, followed by
humans, who in their right mind would dare now to call me monkey, I was oblivious
to the pandemonium that had begun about 2 hours prior.
4 sum incredible reason that I had simply put down to the
ingenious construction methods of the Chinese not sum hocus pocus angled theory
that keeps a whole lot of Chinese fortune tellers off welfare there was not a
single penny of water damage the water running along the edge of the hallway,
the carpet subcontractor possibly trying to shave a penny or too, and then down
the elevator and according to the assistant hotel manager who didn’t
speak very good French it took sum umpteen hours to not only pump out the water
but in calming down the other quests psychologists and psychiatrists had to be
flown in from the mainland along with aqua puncture artists with needles
targeting the culprit behind the chaos, I don’t remember anyone using,
however, foul language, which is not to say that I had anything to do with the
Pandas here in the San Diego Zoo recently giving birth.
Nor will I digress very far talking about Penny Coelen, my
mother’s model who won the Miss World in 1958
or how a pudgy guy like Sol Kersner ends up with another South African Miss
World which is not the main reason I am ticked off with this man who should
know better.
I am no longer using the “pi..ed off” word since
there are a number of firewalls looking out 4 such vulgarities, soon though,
perhaps a generation or too will simply look tu my Guidance tTOo
communicating only with numbers and of course an updated English dictionary.
I never thought to let the manager of this rather exclusive
hotel know that although my last name may sound French I could barely speak
more than a few words, about the same level of proficiency as I have today
after being with a women whose first language is French 4 going on a decade,
nor did I think it important to let him know that I didn’t believe in
Santa Clause as I profusely expounded, “Sante, Sante, Sante, blah
blah” buying several rounds of drinks 4 the entire gathering although
I cannot remember if I corrected the barmen when he said, “U with Mr.
Jonathan Beare, very good man, etcetera etcetera.”
Now Thomas, I seem to recall me copying you on an email or
too tu Derrick Beare who at one time had shown an interest in Chase Brass
Industries [CSI] and although I think it is fair to say that neither Derrick
nor Jonathan consider me to be a nincompoop, certainly like any South African
born person with a particle of brain matter remaining in our heads despite the
horrific conditioning coming from such a dysfunctional environment I have of
course invested with both Beares and
like with every deal I do always managing to leave a buck or too on the table,
greed the quickest way to hell, something I thought Mr. Starks who has spent so
much time around me would have figured out by now.
And why I don’t plan to give him any more than another
72 hours to at least respond to my entreaties letting me know how much money I
can look forward to receiving as a result of this merger between Sterling
Holding Company and Stratos Lightwave [STLW] that is nothing short of the one
of the most hostile takeovers I have yet to encounter, agree?
Interesting that Newell Starks is chairman of the board of
Sterling Holding Company although I don’t recall reading what standing he
would have after the merger with STLW
which is not tu suggest that he should have disclosed in footnote 5, pages 54 of
the merger document his stock deal arrangement with me signed also by his wife,
Ms. Nancy Starks, at the time, and of course I have no idea whether Newell and
Nancy remain married or “wether”
[soc] 4 certain the monies I loaned Newell out of my Bank of America credit
line were used to pay for the umpteen psychologists-psychiatrists seemingly
residing at Kennan Road, around the clock, agree?
It has been raining here in Del Mar “on &
off” most of the day and of course u have both come across previously
that “wether” hyperlink that talks to the “smoking gun
evidence” in my possession of corruption at the highest levels of the
Democratic Party here in the United States, my need to spell things out ever so
clearly given my expanding audience, and of course I include Jeff Rabin of the
Los Angeles Times on this email as well; hi Jeff!
At one time I seem to recall too psychiatrists teaming up
against Mr. Starks who given the head trips he appeared to be getting from
Nancy and her biological children resulted in him going out, getting drunk not
realizing the business model of many professionals such as these folks, i.e. in
the business of, “practicing
medicine.
And of course we all know that practice makes perfect,
“Caching Ching Ching.”
Being so very smart fellows, not tu suggest that either of u
are in way more closely related to George Fellows the former president of Revlon
Corporation than say my dog, u recognize there is a very big difference between
IQ and Emotional Intelligence and so you must at least be wondering how in
G-D’s name I happened to come across these documents in what is
essentially a private merger proposal document 4 all intent and purposes
especially when one considers the very limited number of players involved in
this game of “musical chairs”, the CVC group controlling with Mr.
Stark’s rather miniscule share sum 82% odd of the deal to mention little of
the $2.3 million in “transaction costs” and “up to $1 million
in legal fees on behalf of Sterling” to be incurred by Stratos to mention
just in passing coming across the following, “Sterling did
not retain a financial advisor…”
And then there is Stratos’ incredibly pitiful history
of pulling off mergers one I seem to recall involving a whopping $700 [seven
hundred United States Dollars] not even enough money tu feed my dog, Pypeetoe,
4 a month and remember there are no additional costs for his board, to mention
little of how this document was so incredibly boring as I simply tossed it from one end of the house through
the vaulted ceilings, along the rims of all 3 toilets before dunking it into
the Jacuzzi bath the instant bubbles began forming
thinking that with the sound waves coming off the ocean the movement would be
enhanced by bubbles eventually putting not just my wife to sleep be4 she even
got to the bed, not that I am thinking of a “slip & fall”
lawsuit against Newell et al but my poor dog had placed his paws over his ears
as if telling me,
“Enough is Enough, I also need my
beauty sleep, its bad enough you got me fixed
without having to hear more nightmares, blah blah.”
So what exactly in heaven’s name contributed to these
$3.3 million odd costs besides for my reading sumthing about,
“Starting in
January 2003, Sterling has paid consulting fees in the amount of $12,000 per
month to an entity affiliated with, and 100% owned by, Mr. Starks, as
compensation for consulting services rendered by Mr. Starks to Sterling in
connection with the negotiation and consummation of the merger and related
transactions. Sterling intends to continue making these payments, which will
increase to $20,833 per month after
Further proof of Newell’s desperation that he would be
selling himself so incredibly cheap, I just want tu vomit.
And I would assume on the page be4, page 66, the “Value of Cancelled Indebtedness, Return of Funds and Estimated Tax
Gross-up Payments Offered in Loan-Forgiveness Program” sum
$356,063 is not included in these sums paid to Mr. Starks or any other type of
“quid pro quo” such as in the event Mr. Starks were to totally lose
his mind and take a seat on the board of the merged entity knowing that my wife
who on occasion particularly as it relates to my investment advice will be
watching every single last move of this merged entity to c for herself exactly
what Mr. Starks has referred to in the past as CVC’s “management
friendly” style of doing business, agree?
I doubt that either of u have played the card game Klobbios
but the last trick brings with it ten additional points, and so how much would
either of u be willing to pay for say 10 more IQ points bearing in mind that
the only reason I got Pypeetoe was because he was “1 inch to big at
birth” and please when u respond don’t feel the need to let me know
if u r circumcised.
So fricken “management friendly” that it took
me, The Rattlesnake, to write, with sum assistance of course from Mr. Newell
Starks himself, Perfect Storm II, which can not only be accessed at the www.footsak.com website but through
Citicorp’s own website.
Perhaps if you have kept copies of my postings on the CSI
Yahoo message board before action was taken very shortly after Perfect Storm II
hit the airwaves, within a short space of time the stock more than doubling
resulting in Chase Brass Industries [CSI] eventually being sold, you would be
so gracious as to forward those posts on to me so that I can offer them as an
addendum tu my book Manager Minute One soon nearing completion.
Success comes in a variety of forms much in the same way
there can be no prescribed methodology for reaching “G-D” other
than to pay attention to the things that matter most, keeping one’s
choices simply, i.e. good or evil.
And of course having a fascination with numbers from the earliest
of age does help and as much as sum folks like to shout out that I need HELP particularly those
who know me sumwhat and see the noose around their neck growing tighter with
each tick of the clock, not that I wish anyone harm, on the contrary I wish
they would fricken stop wasting my time and that of my very busy colleague Mr.
Jeffrey R. Krinsk and go out and get themselves a real life, join the Peace
Corp, change their name if necessary, but just not tu bother me unless willing
to make a sizable contribution to my efforts.
Which is not tu suggest that I am in fact the greatest lover
in the world, my dog just starting choking.
Butt if I
hear so much as single fart coming in my direction I say, “Watch out!” even if it
happens to be my dog catching his breath, my wife, quite the logical problem
solver, but still somewhat perplexed as to why Pypeetoe who chomps down on $1
“breath enhancement” cookies every hour fed to him though only on
those days when he devours raw T-Bone steak and were it not for him being
kosher make no mistake Mr. Krinsk would be having to fork over, no to be
confused with Ms. Martha “Porky” Stewart, a whole lot more than $40
every time my dog joins Jeffrey and I for our weekly “Chicken Pot Pie”
lunch down at Rainwaters.
Should either or both of u be down in our neck of the woods
next Wednesday may I suggest you come and join us at Rainwaters and should u
also happen to have a check in your possession I don’t c any reason why
Mr. Krinsk or even Mr. Standard
won’t pick up your tab, and don’t worry about me possibly leaving
the bathwater running
since I will in all likelihood have showered down by the beach using taxpayer
provided services.
Now that last hyperlink, gentlemen, is the
“lynchpin” in the business plan
drew up a week ago this past Wednesday by Mr. Jeffrey R. Krinsk.
There is going to be chapter in Manager Minute One about how
one can live both peacefully and happy on $1 a day anywhere in the world,
particularly in affluent areas such as Del Mar, California, all that one needs
is tu secure a good looking dog like Pypeetoe, be kind to supermarket folk,
particularly waitresses at fancy restaurants who u make certain are tipped
extremely well when your companion is paying so that when u show up hungry,
looking somewhat disheveled, not even able to afford a razor, u get nothing
short of the “sympathy vote.”
Naturally, it goes without saying that u would need, on
occasion, tu show a little bit of “drive” to someone like Marie Dion
Gevisser who is still not convinced I can hold down a job and that gentlemen is
the extent to which I am allowed to discuss my sex life.
More to the point, if Marie were to ever read this email she
may have to start thinking about after reaching age 240, unless I actually
begin selling Manager Minute One or “allow” her tu sell any more of
her paintings, thereby creating a taxable event, she might have to go out and
hoc one of our
paintings and G-D only help her if she were to ever sell one of the
masterpieces, each day as she unwinds on her former husband, Dr. JBS, while
keeping a lid on me as well as the too kids, she seems to be getting younger
and more beautiful as I get uglier and possibly wiser.
In good conscience, given my intimate knowledge of the inner
workings of the markets, insurance and stock markets which dovetail the real
estate industry, I have suggested to my wife that she vote against the merger
of Sterling Holding Company and Stratos Lightwave, the only shares I seem to
recall of any worth left in her entire investment portfolio, and of course she
wouldn’t need me to tell her how dumb it would be to own a single bond at
this time.
Perhaps, in addition to the matters mentioned above other
shareholders should take a look not only at the Shareholder Class Action
Lawsuits pending at this time against Stratos recognizing that the numbers in
the end not only all add up but never lie to mention little of how some SCALs
are in fact frivolous having SCAL organizations like Milberg Weiss Bershad
Hynes and Lerach coming in with wrecking balls, irons fists to boot, while
making off with everything short of the kitchen
sink, to mention even less of the increasingly slow responses to my postings on
eRaider.com’s The
Buck Stops Here as well as the “Shareholder
Writes” message board, could it be that Professor Aaron
“BrownNose” Brown is still feasting Yom “Farce-Fast”
Kippur to the best of my knowledge ending this past Monday evening or could he
be waiting for me to copy him on an email or too which when forwarded to his
handlers may give him bullet proof action?
Most likely he is simply hoping that his wife can continue
to put on the front that she is simply bored with our “back &
forth” motion, but I wouldn’t bet on it if I were in his shoes,
yes, I think it goes almost without saying it but just in case his wife is
thinking about buying sum alligator shoes to compete with Mr. Krinsk’s
wife, my prediction, at least if my vote is worth anything with G-D is that
Professor Aaron “BrownNose” Brown will come back as an alligator
that is used on those movies where the guy from “down under” first
ties up the animals, then beats the crap out of them before turning on very
bright lights and the director shouts “action blah blah”, and of
course I thought about the fact that alligator’s seem to have little fat.
Marie Dion Gevisser at this moment in time continues,
believe it or not, to follow many of my suggestions, now more than ever my
following in the footsteps of Mr. Nicholas Johnson, the chairman of the FCC
during the Johnson Administration who a few years back commented tu a group of
us, “I never once saw merger I liked, blah blah.”
U will notice though that this Professor Brown of the
Yeshiva University in New York City who operates a rather sophisticated website
catering exactly to who other than his out of control ego, the idiot that he
is, has found it within himself to place a posting or too on the Shareholder
Rights message board, not however, commenting on my post 1161
which reads in the event u r having trouble with the hyperlinks,
Does any else on this
board find it sumwhat strange that we haven't heard from Melvyn Weiss other
than posts #26 & 27?
Just in case sum of you didn’t know but "Melvin Weiss" [sic] a
named partner in the 1,000 pound gorilla law firm of Milberg Weiss Bershad
Hynes and Lerach is the moderator of this board.
What does anyone think the odds of either Professor Aaron "BrownNose"
Brown or Melvyn Weiss passing a polygraph test with the key question, "Do
u have any idea what wiseass out there would dare to use the handle 'mweissman'
knowing that there was nothing short of a 'bulldog' frothing at the mouth for
the chance to rip apart a would be impersonator."
Just thought I would let you know the elementary school soccer team I am
helping coach is called "Frost Byte" [sic].
THE MEEK WITH TEETH SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH
Hang Ten!
The Rattlesnake
aka Gary S. Gevisser
I seem to recall the last time I spoke with Lester as he was
out the door to wage war in Seattle with “Microsoft-belly” [sic];
so how much would either of you wager that posts 26
and 27
were posted up on this “lookout
post” by none other than Melvyn Weiss of Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes
and Lerach, the moderator of the Shareholder Rights message board to mention
little of my first coming across this pitiful Professor looking for a “quickie”
who does those of us Jewish people with sumwhat of a brain and a conscience to
boot, a great deal of harm, agree?
Would either of u happen to know anything about too possible
Grand Juries
conducting a criminal investigation into the illegal practices of
“Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes and Leroach”
[sic], more importantly would u agree with Howard Finkelstein Esq. of
Finkelstein & Krinsk, “… if you couldn’t get an indictment out of a grand jury you
just hung your spurs and dissolved into a puddle of tears”?
I have yet to c Howard
put
in a full day’s work which no doubt is exactly how this incredibly
gifted, to good tu be true, unbelievably good looking man thinks about me; what
I hate the most about this incredible specimen, worse than the fact that he has
a shorter nose or an ability to attract the best looking secretaries in the
world not tu suggest that Dr. JBS’
girlfriend, “Dawn Killicat [sic] who works
Milberg Weiss across the street wouldn’t win a Miss
Universe competition, is the very distinct possibility Howard Finkelstein is
younger than me with the wisdom of King
Solomon, best described in the “Grand Jury” hyperlink, taking u tu
post 496+- on The Buck Stops Here message board that reads in part,
“…, there
is talk about your buddies Milberg Weis Bershad Hynes and Lerach being the
subject of two Grand Jury criminal investigations that have gone on for some
time. In other words what is taking so long?
I am told that in the
old days when old men like Howard Finkelstein of Finkelstein and Krinsk was
Assistant US Attorney if you couldn’t get an indictment out of a grand
jury you just hung your spurs and dissolved into a puddle of tears; because it
is your evidence going over to the other side, much like playing checkers
against yourself, i.e. you cannot lose. So maybe things have changed since the
rise of the most rapacious out of control law firm in the world having usurped
their powers, wouldn’t you agree?
Mr. Krinsk has maintained from the very start that although
I might have got away with playing the fool with brain dead professors who
taught at the University of Natal, South Africa, the chances of me getting the
“sympathy vote” from any judge or jury in the northern hemisphere,
tu be “slim and none” which only tells u exactly what about our
incredible victory in court against Dr. JBS et al last October 24th
where my attorney, who is now, “hospitalized”, put, initially, the odds of us
winning at, “1 in a million” but of course we had truth, one form
of G-D, in our backpockets, G-D only help someone who attempts to take
something from any one of us, who do the right thing, willing to stand tall,
not only when the odds r stacked in our favor.
This past Wednesday in preparation 4 making the most of the
hour or too lunch down at Rainwaters, I brought along my university diploma
that was only fairly recently unpackaged from the cardboard barrel shaped wrapping which my Dad sent
tu me by airmail arriving into Chicago on May 17th 1978 too months
to the day after I arrived in this country,
The only way it seemed I could convince Mr. Krinsk of its
authenticity was while he excused himself to go to the bathroom I had my dog
stick his paws into the greasy but very few French fries left on my plate, then
having TippyToe make his imprint.
By the way that is Gray “Ho Chi Min”
My initial inclination was to give Mr. Krinsk this diploma
as a souvenir but for sum reason, perhaps greed, I have decided to hold on to
it perhaps gifting this nonsensical document to one of my wife’s too kids
or if someone is willing to pay me say a million dollars right now, like in the
next 72 hours, then perhaps I will part with it sooner.
Never to forget how to Mr. Stark’s chagrin I chose to
walk away from an investment which Mr. Starks believed was worth upwards of
$500 million only because Ms. MaryRose Cusimano of Sunmed
had played it “fast & loose” fudging the numbers just a few
thousand dollars in her desperation to get one of the most rapacious players in
the world, Fred DeLuca of Subway
fame tu follow through on his commitment to fund the 2nd or 3rd
traunch of an investment totaling sum $750,000, my estimating that Mr. Deluca
et al spent the same of amount of money throwing up “road blocks” in his quest tu subvert justice,
having Sunmed pay back monies that were used to keep the ship afloat, willing
to scuttle everything unless he could have it all tu himself.
I have yet to hear back from attorney Jerome Kurtenbach who
along with a statistically valid sample representative of the world’s
population is copied on this email, but I am not done with either Mr.
Kurtenbach or his client or 4that matter MaryRose Cusimano, as u know I am
tenacious when it comes to folks who think nothing of “blindsiding”
others, nothing quite like being MOBBED
Moved
Off
Balance
By
Educated
I am constantly looking for minute particles of change,
nothing quite like an ability to count ones change and never to forget
one’s blessings which don’t have to be said out aloud, just like a
fart can be ever so quiet, there can be, however, no fooling G-D, who I assume
measures up pretty good, has quite sophisticated machinery, along with the
“write weaponry” [sic] to wreck havoc with those who do wrong, using
waves that penetrate deep into the fabric of each one of us, i.e. deafening
silences so incredibly meaningful to those of us in tune, agree?
Folks like u and I understand the way of the world a little
better than the average Joe Blows who mostly just want to chill out, tired of
being “tossed and turned” by a handful of folks who have an
extraordinary level of skill of co-opting others to do their “dirty
work”, agree?
The masses though thanks tu yours truly et al fast getting
up to speed in terms of how the rich get richer, the poor get poorer as the
folks who don suits get away with nothing short of “murder”, agree?
And there I was thinking when Newell called “my
Marie” a year or too ago perhaps as long ago as 3, asking her,
“So Marie
what do you think about me paying
my thinking that Newell was simply a little ticked off that
I would not set aside an ownership interest 4 him in any of my 100 odd websites
not even a single point of “non voting” stock, in addition tu him
believing I had suddenly gone besides for deaf, dumb and blind a change of pace
simply disappearing into the woodwork, moreover that somehow Marie who is
capable of running circles around both Newell and me had instead of buying her
jet invested in her own frontal lobotomy,
Cum to think of it may I suggest you take a close look at
the stock trading of Stratos Lightware and then see if you can connect up the
dots when Mr. Starks first began providing consulting services to this
“target company” as described in page 28,
“During the
fall of 2001, James W. McGinley, the Chief Executive Officer of Stratos, and
Newell V. Starks, currently the chairman of
C this hyperlink 4 a more
complete rundown of this meltdown, be4 turning your attention to the trading of
Stratos Lightware stock in October 2001 the share price reaching a low of $3.40
per share and a high of $6.30, in November, the low was $4.00, the high $6.85,
December, a low of $4.91, a high of $6.56, just now, the last trade today was
completed at $5.79, perhaps more importantly is the volume of
shares traded these days versus the “topsy turvy” period of the
past 24 odd months, where the stock went from a high of $12
odd in July 2001 to a low of 24 cents a share in October of 2002 and now as one
goes through the “Background of the Merger” page 28:
“Commencing in August 2002… Stratos’ management and board
considered certain potential business combinations.”
Note the volume of shares traded
on just one day
Continuing with the
“Background of the Merger”
“In January 2003, as
part of this strategic and business review, Mr. McGinely requested that a
mutual acquaintance contact Reginald W. Barrett, a member of
Wouldn’t u agree quite a
significant dropoff in the trading volume of shares in recent X compared to
what was taking place prior tu this fukukta “mutual confidentiality agreement”?
And of course nothing like having
Ernest & Young LLP conduct “certain financial due
diligence on Stratos at
Sterling’s request” as if tu suggest a pal of mine, Jeffrey Malatskey,
who I believe works for Ernest and Young in Sidney Australia and growing older
by the second, hopefully wising up that it pays now tu team up with the likes
of me et al, would be more capable than a financial guru like Newell Starks who
initially had me to consult with, wouldn’t you agree?
But for sum reason I don’t
recall Newell ever telling
me that he was Chairman of the Board of Sterling Holding Company let alone
under any fiduciary, again the only mention that I came across was this “mutual confidentiality agreement” occurring later in
January 2003, although I seem to remember something about a “Standstill Agreement” so perhaps u could enlighten me somewhat
on these particulars, my spending in total not more than 10 minutes breezing
thru the stuff while a lady friend visited with Marie.
Had I been more with the program,
quite laid back after an exhilarating sprinting session earlier with Pypeetoe
on the beach I would have offered Nancy her own bottle of wine, to mention
little of my suggesting in the fall of 2001, getting Newell’s
concurrence, that I approach the Wetherly Capital Group [WCG] to see if they
were interested in acquiring Stratos without though disclosing the name of this
“target company” who I believe may have been suiting up to be
acquired by IBM which may or may not have anything to do with the current
string of class action lawsuits circulating these days around Stratos
Lightware.
Which is not to say that a very
“skilled & experienced” attorney like Mr. Jeffrey R. Krinsk who
although spending most if not all of yesterday in another fukukta deposition,
nothing quite like “shooting fish in a barrel”, won’t by the
time I am done pestering him this weekend to assist in completing my
wife’s and mine latest “masterpiece”
will have recovered sufficiently from Yom Kippur tu focus on sum of these aspects,
not that I would waste any of our precious time talking about Newell Starks at
our traditional Wednesday “Chicken Pot Pie” lunch.
By the way have u heard of Poli Pollak other than what
u may have come across in one or more of my emails; more importantly have u
seen him on TV, and to cut to the chase, is he really that incredibly good
looking, not that I would suggest that our 14-year-old consider for one moment
someone who depends on Wall Street to make ends meet although Poli may very
well have more than simply a “gift of the gab”,
please let me no?
Now would either one of u consider
investing in GrubbyGrub
or GirlieGarb.com, surely u would see it as a better investment than say a
Hollywood venture, not tu suggest that Mr. Starks should have disclosed the
amount of debt he rung up when he was “hell bent” on buying his
first jet that would allow him and Dennis Stanfil and whoever else was involved
in that misadventure tu criss-cross the planet, agree?
At this time the business plan
consists of nothing more than what Mr. Krinsk drew up but given the fact that I
am all but certain you would be “accredited investors” how does
this sound, a $2 million investment 4 5% of GrubbyGrub and GirlieGarb.com as
well as a 1% interest in my book Manager Minute One, all of course in the form
of preferred “non voting” shares subject to regulatory approval?
Come to think “moore”
[sic] about Mr. Starks disappearance, one of the reasons Mr. Starks gave me for
wanting $40K so urgently was sum sort of insurance policy that would allow him
through a series of “generation skipping” insurance techniques
available to the quasi rich who like Mr. Starks is simply not very worldly,
unfamiliar with really how easy it is to never pay more than a miniscule
percentage of what u earn in taxes, a subject matter that someone like my one
buddy Cliff Benn could explain to a nincompoop like Newell, remember, in my
opinion Newell has the emotional IQ of a gnat.
Be4 I forget take a look at page 4 of the Stratos’
Annual Report provided to stockholders bearing in mind that u both know as well
as I do that there r in fact very few people on this planet who would have the
slightest clue about how tu even begin reading such gibberish contained in most
if not all prospectii let alone able as Mr. Starks knows I am to begin
connecting the dots to mention little of how insightful Mr. Starks must have
been in the fall of 2001 “tu no” [sic] that for the fiscal year
2002 Stratos would go from showing a profit of sum $9 million to a loss of $72
odd million or to put it another way from a profit of $1.47 per share to a loss
of $11.06 per share, upping the loss in fiscal year 2003 tu a whopping $14.12 a
share, i.e. in a period of 24 months, the company which during the previous 36
months had shown increasing profits to now incurring, “on the
books”, a loss of sum $192
million, sum 60.4% of Shareholders’ equity evaporating intu nothing short
of “thin air.”
In other words, “Who knew what and when did they
know?” becomes rather important at this time as you all prepare 4
Stratos’ AGM, agree?
Did I tell u that I think I may have stopped losing my hair,
which is not tu suggest that just because I have taken on the name, The
Rattlesnake, that I have snake oil to sell, but should u have an interest in
“Brownfields”
and r willing to pay my hourly rate of $300,000 per hour, payment in advance, I
will give u my pennies worth of advice.
Which is not tu suggest that Mr. Starks would have been dumb
enough to engage in insider trading, Christ Almighty, he is not altogether
stupid, remember he is the quintessential rocket scientist, probably a better
grasp of Quantum Mechanics than a physicist like Jonathan Beare who really
knows about operating clandestinely not tu suggest by any stretch of the
imagination that either Jonathan or Newell would do anything, short of getting
caught, that would violate the playing field rules, but there is a whole lot to
be said for making very simple things look incredibly complicated and why our
great president George W. Bush mustn’t wait a moment longer in calling
for the suspension of trading of all public companies which is where this email
should really begin.
My hope was to get at least too more emails out today
including one to an attorney friend now living in
This past Wednesday Raymond Oshry
who lives in London, no longer practicing criminal law choosing instead tu specialize
in property, which as u both know is “far more lucrative” advised me that his equally bright
brother Ivan, is now living in the country “down under” the last
spot on this planet I have yet tu visit.
Rest assured it will be sumwhat less than 20,000 plus words
and of course both of u like Newell Starks fully understand that when need be I
can be both precise and not very wordy as illustrated in this hyperlink,
although I must say I like this one,
equally, and of course I still love Mr. Starks I just think he should after
paying me my “fair share” tu then go ahead and join a missionary
giving serious consideration to a spot like Timbuktu, agree?
It is just a matter of few more emails be4 I will be down to
just one hyperlink that of course will contain the “guts”
of my mission that will have me beating Mr. Starks et al to the post, dying the
richest person in the grave, mindful of a number of things, that in G-D we
should trust, man made up mostly of greedy people who say one thing and do
quite the opposite especially the more educated and why my command of a number
of things perhaps nothing more than an innate understanding of mathematics with
a good dose of humanity to boot will assuming I don’t get run over by a
train, worse yet become arrogant, show folks how very easy it is not only to
measure our words every so carefully but bring trust back into all our lives
beginning though with holding the most out of control within each of our
households accountable while those of us with sum time on our hands entrusted
to knock to “hell and gone” those like Warren “BO”
Buffet who r just hours away from imploding, Part 8 of my 8 Part Mini series to
Diana Henriques of the New York X.
Just a matter of time be4 showing up in the form of a catchy
headliner such as “Heads I win, tails u lose” a phrase I first
picked up from Jonathan Beare after his nephew, Derrick Beare and I unloaded in
his office on Westwood Blvd “smoking gun evidence” of corruption
within one his holding companies.
Despite a limited wave of euphoria blowing around these
days, specifically in southern
Please let me know whether either or both of u would be
interested in joining me et al on our next trip to South Africa and of course
you cannot forget how were it not for the fact that Mr. Starks turned down my
“double or quits” bet, not owing me a nickel in the event my wife,
Marie, chose not tu acquire her own Lear Jet, her deciding instead, so it may
seem to the rest of the world, to make me now pay “thru the nose.”
Last night the Gevisser-Dion household celebrated dinner for
the first time in well over a decade on the mahogany
table that has not only stood the test of time but thanks to a lot
of elbow grease as well as oil
is now looking better than ever.
And of course I expect not only the rest of the Gevisser
clan to begin making contributions to my efforts to “level the playing
field” but folks like Jonathan Beare and a whole number of other folks
who are not only very generous with their money, living well below their means
but most importantly exceedingly generous with their time despite knowing I, 4
1, could never be bought, although as Jeffrey R. Krinsk found out for the very first
time this past Wednesday I don’t always have to order the most expensive
item on the menu.
Take care,
