How To Tell 

http://www.goliathboards.com/users5/gerryduffett/index.cgi

From Austin Indy Medias web site

http://austin.indymedia.org/otherpress/display/439

Original Publisher:

When the president of this corporation or his wife, 

the director of human resources, 

decides that they wish to get rid of you, 

you will notice the following and find yourself in denial about the true source of the harassment:

(1) You may receive anonymous emails threatening you. 

The emails may mention threats to your job.

(2) If you post online in forums and other open venues, 

you may notice a pattern of online stalking, threats, etc. 

Past threats from this source have included 

libelous statements about the spouses of targets, 

threats against children, 

comments about having access to the credit records of targets, 

and many other strange and ominous postings.

(3) Other employees will assist the president of the corporation. 

The most likely to assist in this unethical behavior are those who have worked with him for many years and those who feel insecure in their jobs. 

Their assistance will include information gathering for use against you, 

putting foreign substances in food offered to you, 

stalking you at your place of residence 

including peering into your windows.............

(4) Statements will be made, 

seemingly off the cuff, 

............................to induce paranoia. 

If many such statements are made which alude to private matters in your life 

e.g. the harassment you&#039;ve been receiving by anonymous email and anonymous online postings, 

you will try to convince yourself that it you are reading something into it, 

but you will be wrong. 

....................It is intentional.

(5) Your online activities at work will be monitored with the assistance of those people you stupidly trust who work in the server room. 

They will gather any passwords you use on web-based forms from work 

e.g. your private email accounts, 

your cell-phone account if you check your bills online, and so on. 

This information will be used to read your personal emails on your personal email account, 

gather information about who you call on your cell-phone, etc.

(6) The president of this corporation&#039;s favorite technique for terrorizing and silencing employees is to 

........................interfer with their family. 

They will attempt to make you believe that your family is involved in the harassment or they will seek something about your or your family to expose 

..................................in order to silence you.

(7) They will contact law enforcement to assist in the harassment.

(8) They have contacted the IRS to have ex-employees haressed.

(9) If you try to find another job, 

they will interfer with the process.

Things to keep in mind. 

No one who has worked for them has ever become successful. 

This is true for those who have stayed at the corporation and those who have left the corporation. 

Those who stay are paid low wages. 

Those who leave are interfered with.

They had you sign a contract taking away your right to ever name them or the corporation in any of your writings in order to make it difficult for you to fight back against their harassment.

When their corporation started as a project of another company, 

a whole car load of family members of an employee was 

wiped out in a mysterious accident when returning from the annual Christmas party 

........................including the children of that employee.

They have admitted in management meetings that they 

............................&quot;have taken care of&quot; 

in the mafia sense of the phrase

ex-employees who have turned them in for various legal violations.

If you are working for them, 

I suggest you quietly ......................look for another job and leave. 

When you leave, 

do not tell them where you have gone. 

If you have been using any web-based interfaces into personal accounts 

e.g. banks, cell-phone, email, 

change your password ....................from home, 

...............................not from work, 

and never access those accounts again from the office.

		<description>Access Capital Funding is being accused of making false promises to customers to drive sales.

Access Capital Funding Group’s consumers were intentionally misled due to false advertising and deceptive business practices, including offering misleading information to obtain financing; Access Capital Funding falsely advertised on the Internet that consumers could use their credit repair program to remove negative, but accurate and up-to-date, information from their business credit reports to obtain loans without a personal guarantee. In addition, the suit alleges that Access Capital Funding Group bills customers for canceled services; breaches of contract by failing to deliver goods and contraventions …by failing to reimburse consumers who had exercised a right to cancel.

The amended complaint also extends the responsibility of Access Capital Funding Group’s credit department several of the firm&#039;s international entities and affiliates.</description>

		<description>Carel,
While your opinion on Al is altruistic, please don&#039;t rationalize his purposely criminal actions on the statement that &quot;Sumbeam was already in an awkward position,&quot; and that all Poor Little Al just &quot;wanted success too soon.&quot;  You seem to assert that Al was just sitting in his &quot;visionary&quot; tower, completely unaware of the several atrocities he was commiting on the company, its people, its shareholders and its trade partners.  Wrong - he knew exactly what he was doing, which was exclusively fueled by his abnormal ego and greed.  He transformed a once great company into a shell operation, financed it with his pre-emptory credit reveolver, flooded the trade, and artificially pumped up the street price.  His next step was to sell the bitch at a major profit to all the insiders. Al knew exactly what he was doing... he just didn&#039;t know that their is a big difference between blenders and toilet paper.  He got less than he deserved from the SEC.  
Do your research next time-
Kind Regards,
Roy</description>

		<description>@tracy, deregulation is one thing but I believe it helped to allow Enron to keep messing about. I do think it played a big part in it. Although, perhaps the political structure of the US, ie, federalisation, helps to. 

I think the Enron scandal could have happened anywhere in the world that espouses a strong attitude towards deregulation but perhaps the irony was laid thick due to the fact that the US has a position in the world as being seen as this beacon of economic individuality when in fact Enron just proved that economic individuality can contribute to fraud. 

good post.</description>

		<description>@tracy, do you think that the case of enron was also about the failure of the US capitalist obsession with deregulation ? it definitely highlighted its flaws.

the senate hearings with skilling looking like a wild goose illuminate that, imo.</description>

		<description>Hmm, I think fraud is not the correct word here. The visionary capabilities of Dunlap are quite astonishing. At Sunbeam he was apparently overconfident because of the success at Scott Paper. And I don&#039;t like his methods but Sunbeam was already in an awkward position and his start was certainly good but he wanted success to soon and overdid it. Calling him a criminal is a little bit shortsighted by my opinion.

Nevertheless, kind regards,
Carel</description>

		<description>I do feel that our auditors are doing more work than they used to, but the cost increase has not been proportionate. We are being charged way more for this little bit of extra work!</description>
