I don’t know how to investigate it other than to dig into it, girlene. I do know that buried at the end of on article castigating Bales was a little line about “7 other individuals and companies” being accused of this same crime.
My antennae went up at that info. My sense is that Bales was part of a company that had bad financial methods.
You really have to wonder how a relatively smart person gives one man 1.5 million dollars on a wish and a prayer, and it gets pocketed by that one man. Then you learn that, no, it was 7 different individuals and companies.
Something smells.
BTW, in the army a staff sergeant is abbreviated SSG. That’s different than the Marines. It’s no biggie. Just thought you’d want to know.
SSG? Thanks, xzins, did not know.
I don’t disagree that something smells about the money allegedly owed. About half of the 1.3 - 1.5 Million number the press is throwing around out there is for punative damages. Just found it curious that no explanation has been provided. If there is a halfway reasonable explanation, it would be better to get it out there (outside of FR), sooner rather than later.
Times change. So now it’s SSG. Thank you.
