I think you all don’t realize the degree to which you are pushing some of us who have been the industry’s friends for a long time. It’s increasingly difficult to continue defending the industry. One of the ways you all can prove your willingness to be a bit adaptable is to try to help us come to a solution for this.

The DOI is not involved because there has never been a complete audit of the books! The accusations of “out of trust” are just that – accusations. A complete audit of the books would take a couple of years, and cost very high hundreds of thousands of dollars. The DOI has taken on this type claim over 60 times, and according to our expert has lost every time!
The person most surprised by this accusation was Herb. He knew that he never missed a payment to any company. There has never been any accusation that Herb or Eric (or anyone for that matter) took money from the trust. That is because no one ever did. Herb wasn’t worried about the trust account. He was worried that he couldn’t pay over a million an a half dollars to Saleigh because Saleigh wouldn’t take payments or make settlement with CMM.
Now there is the truth. Why you (Big Dog) want to muddy the name of a person who only tried to do right by his employees (for almost 50 years) is your sickness. You are so jelous and obsessed that you really should get some help. Maybe if you spent some time WORKING you might make a life for yourself and your family.
I can sit here and type whenever I want because I’m retired :)
Being a business guy myself and knowing the big picture you would have to think that there was way more than 100 million dollars that has run through the company in the last few years. Even if they were one million out of trust, that would be like a one percent margin of error. I am sure if Herb Rothman stole money they would have seen it somewhere in the books. The bank reconciliation itself could be off by dollars a month and it just adds up. Really not a big deal in the big picture. I know the Rothmans and they are good decent hardworking family. I have moved my business to them and I am happy to see that for once they have gotten a fair shake. I am looking forward to seeing them win this new lawsuit.
