O'Keeffe Daily News Article this Morning

[Leon]

Those phone calls would have pissed me off royally.




Jeff should quit pulling punches and just say what he really feels too...


"This is just another example of their fraud," countered Jeffrey Lichtman, one of Forman's attorneys. "It was flat-out thievery."

Jeff- Corey doesn't like to discuss his collection publicly. The legal ramifications of this are a separate issue.

Rich K.- how did Michael O'Keeffe become McKeefe?

[calvindog]

Barry, are you representing Corey? Or just pretending you know what he's thinking? My guess is that Corey is concerned about fraud in the hobby, period, and wants it gone. Like I said, not everyone is terrified of their own shadow; I'm certain Corey is not.

Edited to add: you recognize that there is a bigger picture here, right?

[barrysloate]

I'll speak to Corey shortly and see what he says about it. If he's happy I will retract my statement.

[calvindog]

Good, I won't leave the house until then. I will alert the court as well to the results of your conversation with Corey because, after all, the truth isn't as important as social proprieties.

[barrysloate]

Jeff- when Corey purchased the T210 Jackson he told me about it, with the specific instruction not to discuss it with anyone. I know his position on fraud in the hobby; I am as much in the loop as you are. But unless he orchestrated this and specifically wanted both the card and the price he paid for it made public, I will assume he would have preferred this was not in the paper.

I just got off the phone with Corey, and he said he was not happy that this appeared in the Daily News.

[calvindog]

Barry, I'm sure Doug wasn't happy either.

Let's pull all public litigations out of court which upset witnesses: lawsuits, criminal cases, etc.

[oldjudge]

$300,000 (How much?) for a T210 Jackson--that's the biggest crime of all

The only crime I can see is Jeff wearing that tie with that jacket. I recommend you plead color blindness.

(And, no, I have no idea what Jeff is wearing.)

I have had dealings with both Mastro and SGC over the years. I have no problem if those particular transactions were made public in a court filing. However I would be disappointed if I were named in those filings as I expect a degree of privacy as a client.

[calvindog]

So how does one litigate without mentioning or revealing names after receiving information from said people? Protective order? Invisibility cloak?

PS: just counted: more posts on this thread (not including mine) about Corey's feelings than about Dave Forman's family being terrorized at night by Mastro's controller and about revelations of fraud against Mastro made by an ex-Mastro employee. Combined.
