There can be no getting away from the lackluster performance
of Sunmed’s
technology not yet having reached the masses and as you know when things get
out of hand and litigation becomes a viable option then it all comes down to
pointing fingers and ultimately the apportionment of blame.
So what do you think of Michelangelo’s Last Judgment
of Moses “pointing” at God?
Do you know if during the Nuremberg Trials after WWII the
defense attorneys ever used the “poor house”
routine including attributing some level of responsibility on the folks who
manufactured mustard gas [during WWI]
that may have set Hitler on a track leading to more than a series of train smashes for
many of my Jewish brothers and sisters who despite strong self-esteem, lovely homes filled with love, Judaism,
joy and miles and miles of smiles, yachts
to boot et al chose to follow the spectrum put forth by the likes of Ghandi who
I take my hat off to but not if it means allowing the sun to burn right through
my brain emptying my mind of things I happen to hold sacrosanct as in, The Meek
WITH TEETH shall inherit the earth.
It is my vision that GrubbyGrub.com will pass quickly
through the phases of “fad” and “fashion” to become in
short order a “fact”
of everyday life where a person’s worth is based on them being both
interesting, different and of course any copycats better be equally as
charitable to mention little of them all being transparent, masks
to boot all the way to Timbuktu.
This past Sunday Marie’s kids returned with their
biological father from Australia and we celebrated their return from “Downunder”
where “nearly everyone is related to a criminal”
by going up to the cabin where we engaged in the most out of control mud fight
I have ever been a part of and of course with all the mudslinging going on not
even speedy Pypeetoe who more than a handful of folks have suggested is on steroids,
could escape the barrage.
There was some criticism leveled by Dr. John Ben Stewart
[JBS] about the kids not being welcomed back to the Gevisser-Dion
household with an “egg
hunt”
but Marie disposed of the candy rush, sugarcoating out the window, by letting
JBS know in her mild mannered way that the mud energy release did a whole lot
of good to splatter the backbiting
we customarily inherit
after the kids no doubt feel compelled to compete for his attention.
Last night Marie finished Jonathan’s book titled Holes
and she assures me that it is not only easy reading but it should hold my
attention long enough to go “cover tTOo
cover” [sic].
We have a great photo of Jonathan and me who clearly won
this full-on-war that left no one including Marie and Danielle untouched but since
JBS objects to the kids’
photo being displayed on The Internet as a substitute I m
George “Hearst”
[sic] and I know each other pretty well these days and I am all butt
certain he is thinking more than twice about ever again attempting to pull off
the type of stunt he and/or his client engineered outside the courtroom
immediately after our first hearing before Judge Hendrix where his actions
resulted in Marie Dion Gevisser all but taking his lights out permanently as
she tossed him lefts and rights without so much as having to raise her very
sexy voice, flexing though enough muscle to let this wimp of an attorney know
that he had not only stepped over the line in attempting to buy her off but he
was better off taking on someone of his own midget size.
And consequently he decided to take me on. And the rest will
soon appear in the history books or at least in M
I wasn’t sure if during JBS’ monologue which had
Marie continuing to work away at a rapid pace putting the finishing touches to
another bloc-buster.com t-shirt design that she was able to throw in a word let
alone a question sideways JBS’ take on Jonathan’s rationale for why
his father lets him use a neighbor’s paint gun, “prevents him from
having to spend the money to mention little of the inordinate amount of time to
go out and buy one for me” [sic].
As you may have read in one of my earlier emails Jonathan is
very much like his mother in his ability to be both precise and concise as in
they both don’t always paint bright, are very precise and in my opinion
think very Jewish, different and apart from what makes Chagall so attractive to
Jewish people, “paints bright, isn’t very precise but is
Jewish.”
JBS wanted to let Marie know what an incredible time the
kids had despite Jonathan not seeing a single crocodile although maybe he
simply mentioned to me that he didn’t bump in Crocodile Dundee. As you
know I am losing my hearing as my hair starts to grow back.
Having Jonathan with Marie and I as we went through the
marriage vows two days ago was nothing short of awe-inspiring to mention little
of the multi-faceted discounted services he provided including functioning as the
“ring provider”,
photographer and most importantly he served as our “witness” quite
different from when his biological father took him in tow down to the San Diego
Courthouse just up the street from where we were married on that very mournful
day, September 11th 2002 in follow up to his vow 3 days prior,
“You will never be their stepfather. I will hound
you the rest of your life.”
One of these days I hope to take Jonathan step-by-step
through the 10
Commandments and I doubt I will have to explain much about what it means to
“bear
false witness” [sic].
I indicated in my last communication with Laurie Black that
I am working on an updated reading of the 10 Commandments and in the event I
get run over by a truck before it is complete I know I can leave it up to the
likes of you, Mr. Krinsk, Mr. Standard et al to complete the task without much
fanfare and little commentary. And if you can get Amos Wright off the golf
fairways you can be all but certain the proceeds will make it in to the bank.
Tomorrow is the 33rd anniversary of my Barmitzvah
and I will use that special occasion to respond to an E-mail I
received back on Monday, April 14, 2003 8:02 PM from Laurie who at a minimum
must feel somewhat comforted that I am still around to help explain to her why,
“Frankly, I am stunned to
find myself so angry Gary”.
As you know I am about to collect on a
double or quits bet I took with
I chose a Passover Special dinner coming
in at a very reasonable “$36 double chai” which Marie interpreted
as nothing short of increasing the cholesterol level for folks like
Mr. Krinsk had a quite a problem removing
all the dung that had accumulated during the previous owner’s stay
although it was really his wife who undoubtedly suffered the most while
orchestrating the removal of such air particles by men clad from toe-to-head in
spacesuits that made them look like they came from Mars.
Earlier today I got cut off in the middle
of a phone conversation with Jerome Kurtenbach Esq. who represents a Dr.
Mitzsos who like anyone else involved with MaryRose Cusimano was sending me an
SOS and the tune although so familiar rings hollow with me for the simple
reason that Mr. Kurtenbach’s client obviously failed to do his due
diligence before investing both his time and possibly monies into
Sunmed-SunDynamics-SunDiagnostics.
The problem appeared to be the batteries
on my cell phone having dried up but I think we covered the important bullet
points, never to forget the mistake I made in one of the back and forth email
communications “sum 7 years ago” to Fred DeLuca where I mixed up Caesar with Nero as the world started the long track toward the ashes burning
witches at the “steak” [sic] until they came for the Jews and while
a few gentile folk stood tall all the kuk my recent ancestors had built up over
the years deadened their sensitivities butt now seems as
good a time as any for me to make the call to Penthouse Magazine.
Even though I know Hustler Magazine would
grab hold of the “smoking gun evidence”
I have of political corruption at the highest levels of the Californian State
Government by the Democratic Party Chiefs and God only knows how many
Republican grunts
got caught up in this rather round about loop, I just have a hard time being
allied with folks who make so much fun out of a donkey’s butt hole.
On the other hand how can one fault
someone like Larry Flynnt who while paralyzed is the envy no doubt of folks
like JW
August, the ABC Network affiliate in San Diego, Ms.
Kimberly Hunt’s former boss who lacks the courage to do the right
thing. But of course these pathetic wimps constitute the overwhelming majority
of media people who know that it is much easier to butter the bread of some 100
odd
Have you heard of a Senator Davis? Have I
missed something recently? Could it be that Governor Davis has already worked
out a plea bargain with the Attorney General of the
By the way the husband of the Deputy Marriage Commissioner
who married Marie and I designs computerized “war games” for the
United States Navy. Evelyn Hunnewell seemed to confirm the notion that if
Jonathan wanted to join up and fight for his country only his biological
parents could object. I didn’t bother asking her whether a
“step-father” might be able to exert less power of persuasion than
say a “significant other” or possibly a “travel
companion”? And as Evelyn so correctly pointed out if our government is
forced to reintroduce the draft it would be the beginning of the end for our
so-called “Democracy.”
And of course those of us in the know understand perfectly
well that although we talk a lot about our democracy being supreme it is
anything but perfect although it is whole lot better than living in dictatorial
regimes dotted all over our planet.
One has to be so careful when giving information to kids who
are so trusting of adults and so Marie and I spent several minutes on the way
up to the cabin pointing out that as we go back in time, not necessary to have
to go all the way back to Adam and Eve, it will turn out that we are all
related to one or tTOo
criminals who often get a designation by virtue of others usurping their
limited authority.
This whole thing about some parents objecting to putting
their kids photos up on The Internet raising some interesting questions
including what I suspect is the need to have someone watching over the kids as
they play in the street to the point that should a stranger show up the au-pair
in a mad dash to cover the child’s face with a mask slips and falls, ends
up in the gutter, cut to ribbons, lawsuits galore and then when the rains come
their feces get washed into the surf where folks like JBS who have this penchant
to constantly say, “Let me
show you how” digest what was originally contaminated sushi. It is
endless this blame game, wouldn’t you agree?
Now why Michael Jackson hasn’t used this sort of
defense when his bizarre behavior remains unchecked is anyone’s guess. It
may be because he is Black and the media keep forgetting their responsibility for
the outbreak of superficiality than plastic surgeon’s getting kickbacks
on automobile accidents which reminds me of something the property m
Now the question you must surely be asking is why anyone who
lives the “high life” in a place like
I hope Dr. Mitzsos gets the message that whereas he may have
possible claims against Sunmed et al any future actions are night and day
difference between what I am about to have delivered to me, i.e. a recorded
judgment issued, I assume, by a judge in good standing.
The day of judgment is drawing closer for a number of folks
who have played it “fast and loose” and I am hoping that everyone
will soon get with the program that there is little place for anyone to hide
given two very important factors that make today different than at any time in
history.
Not only do we have The Internet to doggedly track down
wrongdoers but with weapons of mass destruction small enough to fit into a
suitcase not even those with 200ft walls surrounding their compounds are safe
and of course there isn’t enough cushioning in safety deposit boxes
although those confined to padded cells might see jail time one method to
protect themselves against the rising tide as the masses get not only more
informed but in being armed to the teeth with knowledge and skill they might
for the very first time in history feel equipped to take their rightful place
in the mess halls of the rich and famous.
There are no winners in any war, certainly not in the long
term as we are seeing today with the collapse of the business plans of public
corporations and my hope is that calm minds will prevail particularly in those
areas where I might be able to “bear”
some influence.
Your dogged pursuit of trying to get all the parties to do
the right thing has finally got to the point where all roads intersect and I am
not suggesting that the United States embark right now in all an all out war
with Syria although according to a segment on 60 Minutes this past Sunday night
the president of Lebanon seems to have given the green light to Hezbollah being
granted “first rights of refusal” to destroy the State of Israel
before unleashing their operatives here in the United States.
Deciding who is “friend and who is “foe”
has plagued man from the beginning of time and it is so easy to get caught up
in intellectual debates especially when one is dealing with “light
heads” such as Polie Pollak, who
appears to have taken over from King Golden as the Democratic Party’s
“poster boy” to mention little once again of the old saying,
“My enemy’s enemy is my friend” and why old Polie might feel
it pays to stay close to Mr. Devin Standard who is a conservative but light
footed and very much on the ball.
It is my understanding that Polie called
There was another interesting segment on 60 Minutes dealing
with this software company in north Carolina that goes by the name SAS which
adds immeasurably in terms of the Digital Age bringing the have-nots closer
together with the haves.
When I first heard the words “
Now understand my step-father got his first break from his
uncle Haimy Zulman who founded Beacon Sweets and so I suspect if anyone from
the Zulman family or related to them gets to read this far into the email they
will first direct their rage toward Alan Zulman and my mom who are “holed out”
[sic] in one of their several castle like
strongholds spotted all over the world.
I know you have yet to meet my mother or my step-father and
although you are very good looking, white, and very successful, working for the
top Jewish don in the entire world you probably won’t make as good an
impression on my elitist English folks as say someone like
Now this is not to say you won’t be treated well,
served scones and tea by none other than my mother although given the tips +++
I have bestowed upon them in recent times they may in fact employ a host of butlers.
And I assume by now my mother is cracking the whip laboring over my step-father
as he slaves over the “Kampf”
[sic] sowing machine producing incredible GrubbyGrub.com samples in the hope to
win the British National Competition soon to be underway as soon as I can make
it over to our Ccrest
abode.
By the way, SAS’s CEO has not let Wall Street throw
him off his game plan in attracting the best and the brightest including
artists galore, smart enough to recognize that his most important assets leave
each day and that he sees it as his primary responsibility to entice them back
the next day without so much as a mention of fukukta stock options.
Most interesting to me was that some overweight Stanford
business school professor is now teaching a course at Stanford having m
So can you believe I am finally given the CBS “gerryatrick”
[sic] folks who are owned by Westinghouse who once tried unsuccessfully to
steal a small company’s laser technology, a break?
I read an article in the latest Reader’s Digest which
should become compulsory reading for those individuals throughout the world who
believed that the Kennedy Administration represented the age of Camelot, all
Kings to boot including those wanting to promote the resurrection of another
King Arthur.
President John Kennedy’s sex life is the least
tantalizing aspects of this rather poorly schooled president who perhaps
started lying from the age of two although at that tender age his Nazi-sympathizer
father is probably the most to blame for why this “shoe in”
President who got break after break throughout his life failed to take to task
the likes of J. Edgar Hoover and Senator “Evil”
McCarthy.
For folks more in the know about the makeup of the liberal
elite it comes as no surprise to hear of the Kennedy family’s friendship
with a Senator reared in the politics, strategies and tactics of a communist
state which is no different to what we have here in the State of California
considering that the Democratic Party bigwigs aided and abetted Governor
“HO Chi Min” Davis’ “highway
robbery.”
I am copying Polie as well as King Golden on this email as
well as couple or tTOo
other folks who might want to give “poor” Polie a
hand. Now all he needs to do before calling me is learn how to measure all the
bullshit he has been spewing forth ever since he allowed his “open
mindedness” to get the better of him, so much so that his brains have all
butt fallen out.
I put in a call to
No doubt my marriage to Marie must please a number of people
but it is the deadly silent reactions that are most telling. I plan to drop a personal
note to Judge Hendrix that will begin with so many words, “If it so
pleases the court…”
The other evening Symbolist
White Walls was loaded on to page 16 of the NextraTerrestrial website. This
is a very sweet song. You may have to wait for Symbolistic White Walls to
download. When the PLAY icon appears just click on
it. The album is titled Last Of The Ghetto
Astronauts which may very well become the cry of the next
generation, “tTOo
take the world
and make it yours
again”
[sic].
By the way it was Marie who came up with the expression,
“When the dialogue becomes two monologues it is the beginning of the end
of the relationship” i.e. nothing worse than to die of boredom or simply
put, “trust is like a wild magnificent red wild bed to have sex
in.”
The matthew good band
are apparently out of
It is time for us all to stop kissing butt and take back
that which has been stolen by the rapacious. The road to
“friendship” as in “amicus” perhaps with lineage to
During the court proceeding back on October 24th
of last year when Marie ran the risk of losing both her children by telling the
truth and siding with me, either the Judge or JBS or his attorney “Hearst” [sic] described the relationship between Marie
and her ex-husband as “amicable” which was the only time throughout
the proceedings when I saw Marie freeze in her seat although I was the one who
was boiling up making anything I touched seem like ice.
Marie was at war and there was much more than ice flowing
through her veins, rather vengeance galore, as in vengeance is sweet to the heart of
an Indian. Marie has 1/64th
Indian blood running through her thick but incredible sensitive skin. Never
assume that just because someone can compute at light speed, logical thought
processing up the kazoo doesn’t mean the emotion is not there, much like
our whole is made up of both physical and metaphysical and I for one would
argue that the physical doesn’t constitute more than 42% of our
makeup. One just needs to be patient while digging, never be in a hurry much
like waiting for the right wave.
My “If it so pleases the court” will in fact be
quite brief but like everything worth pursuing there are going to be sacrifices
made but we have in the makings what I believe to be a perfect business model
that can be applied by anyone anywhere in the world with little or no barriers
to entry and it will begin taking the wind out of the sail of those who have
stolen the most.
The 3 biggest industries in the world are now about to feel
the effects of our wrath, namely governments, charities and the clothing game.
And once folks see how easy it is to get handle on these 3 out of control
businesses everything else should fall into place. There is though ongoing
business which each one of us needs to address in order that everything
doesn’t come tumbling down with the Kings and Queen bees who have it all
to nothing.
The dollars involved in this judgment against Sunmed may not
amount to a whole lot of beans in the scheme of things but once you understand
the nature of
And of course I can’t blame him for pushing for more.
If I would have been in his shoes I probably would have done the same although
the tactics I would have employed might have been different but not necessarily
better.
I happen to believe in my heart of hearts that Fred DeLuca
was hoodwinked not only by
Certainly by the time we spent New Years Day 1997 floating
up and down the Intercoastal on his motor launch having me on board would prove
far too much competition. Now please understand not only is Fred much better
looking than me he was certainly at the time far richer than me. I though, still
have this somewhat English accent.
I have no idea what in fact has happened to Fed Deluca in
the past 7 years. For all I know he could also be dead. Certainly he has yet to
respond to any of my emails nor for that matter has he asked to be placed on the
“delete list.”
What it all adds up to is not just the opportunity to
finally unleash this incredible technology to the masses, addressing the pent
up demand that is sucking folks like AIG into an abyss from which there is no
escape but it is also begins to help heal the incredible pain and suffering
Derrick and I have gone through over the past 6 years for he and I were
primarily responsible for digging Sunmed out of the ashes.
By the time you arrived on the scene just a couple of months
before I came on board, an incredible amount of clean up had already taken
place including meeting face-to-face with Fred DeLuca where I placed him and
his “hangeroners” [sic] on notice not to mess anymore with MaryRose
“Kissmyass” [sic] Cusimano.
So when I found out many months later that
I don’t think I have ever once referred to her or
anyone else as a “bitch” but as you can tell although I am very
much about wanting to “love” everyone, peace, however, comes at a
price which is something the Polie “holier than thou” bullshitters
of the world are only now coming to terms with thanks in no small measure than
yours truly although I happen to believe that God plays a hand in me constantly
wanting to view the bright side of things which is why I just cannot wait for
Polie to send me his very best picture or newspaper clipping.
Testosterone is not only found in folks like JBS which seems
to only come to bare when caught with his pants down outside of the bedroom but
we must not forget that there really is very little that distinguishes men from
women. King Golden once described an oral sexual encounter between a friend of
his who was supposedly heterosexual with a gay man where his friend after a
while didn’t notice any difference between a woman going down on him
versus a man. This attorney friend of Kings once performed quite admirably
before the Supreme Court of the
As I once mentioned in one of my writings, King Golden was
adamant that James Baker, the bigwig in several Republican Administrations who
many believe was the key factor in getting the United States Supreme Court to
intervene in the last Presidential election, was the most “dangerous man
in the world.” According to JBS who tried to bait me into a fist fight
outside Marie’s house on
I was listening to Howard Stern last Friday morning and I
heard him recommend the movie Holes which again is the book that Jonathan has been trying
to get both Marie and I to read for a while. I am still on page 12. I keep
starting at the beginning never quite able to get over the back and forth
spelling of the names that seemed to have captivated the young kid in the book
who ends up doing time for a crime he apparently didn’t commit.
No doubt King Golden Jr,
Perhaps the most honest thing that ever came out of the
mouth of former president
There is no one I know of tougher than me out there when it
comes to doing due diligence which of course Mr. Golden knows perfectly well, a
not so inconsequential factor that perhaps has him more squirming right now
than anything else I have to say for the simple reason that it goes to the
heart of my credibility to mention little of my logical mind that functions
very much like the way computers function, forwards, backwards and in reverse, unlike
particle accelerators which are geared toward shooting subatomic particles
getting closer and closer to “light speed.”
Nothing though is quite perfect but with an ability to
measure things, small movements quickly, action-reaction, one moves closer and
closer to being in the “pound seats”
thus getting your opponent to play to your advantage, again much like the game
of chess.
Although it helps to be able to think 15 to 18 moves ahead it
is, however, much more important to focus on the moment and compute the
permutations associated with looking at a board that begins with 64 black and
white spaces, less of course the 32 spaces taken up by the pieces placed at the
beginning. As the number of “open” or “negative” spaces
increase so does one have to concentrate just a wee bit more baring in mind
that the most important thing is to have fun and not let one’s neurons
misfire the result of stress and adrenalin to mention little once again of testosterone
getting in the way. Why there aren’t more women champion chess players is
beyond me, perhaps though it has to do with the fact that after a while this
game gets incredibly boring, i.e. dialogue tTOo monologues.
Even after twisting the board around in order to make it
somewhat interesting and of course different after a while it all begins to
look the same and why I much prefer to focus on deciphering things like
figuring out the “$64,000” question which led me to the

Right now I am playing with different color schemes to see
which ones folks like best.
A few nights ago I first met with Marius who is just perfect
to assist us spread Grubbygrub.com globally. Not only can he think outside of
the box but he happens to love to sail which I hate almost as much as baseball
which reminds me that I need to get some rather important feedback from
Once I get into the “loop” of
something I just don’t know how to let go. I wasn’t sure if I told
you the story of my friend and former client Irving Cooper who is now deceased.
Irv once acquired the rights to a patent that would have knocked the socks off
the folks that produced Velcro. Suffice to say the new business model we will
be unleashing to the masses incorporates all the things I have learned over the
years about business, particularly licensing and franchising and how to keep
those in the loop continuously stimulated as they go about perfecting their own
perpetual motion machines.
In a nutshell Mr. Golden knows that he and his left wing
buddies hold on the reins of power, i.e. the media networks and their
bosom-buddy crooked politicians, are numbered.
Mr. Golden who is once again copied on this email along with
MaryRose Cusimano et al knows full well that I am “on fire” and
their hope and many prayers of me imploding are now dissipating into thin air,
but of course we know there is no such thing in a non-vacuum environment of
their really being such a thing as “thin air,” that for every
action there is in fact an equal and opposite reaction and of course we should
stick with the fundamental principal that the speed of light, C, remains a
constant, with M, Mass, and E, Energy being the variables until such time as we
have “proof” to the contrary.
But as Mr. Golden who may at one time have had as many
neurons firing as
It is time to realize that Quantum Mechanics, the forerunner
of the Digital Age is going to be sufficient proof to most people who can
understand evidence which is the vast majority of the world’s population
that there is already a large body of evidence supportive of God’s existence.
Of course I could easily make the claim that I am just
another “smart alec” no different to
All that was needed was for everyone to play it straight and
my biggest battle was with Fred DeLuca who having finally realized the
incredible potential of the company decided that he wanted it all for himself
and placed hurdle after hurdle in front of the company perhaps hoping it would
disintegrate and then he would pick it up for cents on the dollar. His thinking
may make little sense to folks like you and me who look for a win-win but when
you consider that Fred DeLuca is not exactly the sharing type despite his
enormous wealth and good looks then you realize why I was the best guy to take
him on being willing to take it on the chin and then some.
Just a little bit of background on Mr. Deluca. You have to
remember that the Federal Government were investigating Fred-Subway back in
the mid to late 1990s before Bill Clinton’s buddy, Mr. Hubble out of The
Rose Law firm in Little Rock Arkansas, chose to let things slide and the
investigation came to a quick halt and the investigator for the House of
Representatives who was originally assigned to the case and having uncovered a
considerable amount of “ammunition”, was reassigned.
That last hyperlink shows a picture of Fed DeLuca on the
cover of the March 1998 edition of
It's hard not to like DeLuca, at least at first.
His IQ is so high that he's a member of Mensa. He is handsome, gentle, and
casual, and he drips honey when he wants to charm. During a recent dinner at
Subway's 'franchise school' in
DeLuca's failure to deal with conflict is
what leads to so much litigation. 'Fred feels that if he gives in on one thing,
everything else is gonna come in the same way,' says Ralph Slivka, who left in
1995 after six years as Subway's controller and tax m
The Jannotta case also shed light on DeLuca's
encroachment practices. The lease had a clause, unusual for the company, that
prevented any Subways from being placed within approximately two miles of the
store. Subway went ahead and put six stores in the zone anyway, helping to
cause two different franchisees to fail at the Jannotta location. Under oath,
the company's top lawyer, Leonard Axelrod--architect of Subway's contracts,
nicknamed Lenny the Ax, who keeps a collection of shark figurines on his
desk--said he saw no problem since the Jannotta lease was signed by a different
entity from the ones that handled the new stores.
Thanks in part to Axelrod's testimony, an Illinois
appeals court concluded last September that there was 'overwhelming' proof that
Subway had committed 'far-reaching fraud' in the Jannotta case and that DeLuca
'had a policy of using shell leasing companies' to avoid rental obligations.
But because of a technicality involving jury instructions, the court ordered a
new trial on the punitive damages. Separately, one of the judges stated that
'the real losers here are the subtenants who opened a Subway business only to
be subjected to inevitable failure because of the unwarranted competition--not
from other fast-food chains, but from their own.' Two days after the court's
decision, DeLuca wired the following E-mail to FORTUNE: 'We got good news on
the Jannotta case. Our appeal was successful and the decision was reversed.'
Not exactly: The decision stands, but he doesn't have to dig deeply into his
pockets yet.

At a meeting with agents and department heads in
Looking ahead--and beyond Subway--DeLuca says he
wants to launch a micro-lending movement. He hopes to recruit 'missionaries' to
open 1,000 chapters across the U.S. that will make tiny loans to
'disadvantaged' people so that they can launch businesses, just as he did with
Peter Buck's $1,000. 'In a sense, it's charity,' he says. 'The best thing that
will happen is you'll get your money back and you'll feel good.'
DeLuca is also putting his accomplishments on tape.
He's starring in educational videos that will be distributed to 500 colleges
this summer. 'Once students hear Fred's story, they really get excited,' says
Jennifer Kushell, whose Young Entrepreneurs Network is coordinating the project.
'He was reluctant at first. He really had never looked at himself as a role
model. I don't think he realizes what effect he can have on a lot of lives.'
