Keep pluggin away.

As soon as my username and password is approved I'm on it.

But, I'll address it here as well.

I was hoping Ernie wasn't going to do this to himself. But, since Greg's passing (a very good friend of mine as well) Ernie has had a rough go and I know he has some knowledge in the industry. Alternative Modeling was coming upon a merger with a publicly traded company (Amore TV), where I would also be an executive heading up production. I saw a need for someone like him in this company...but the timing wasn't right. Ernie needed help fast, he was broke and living in week by week rental with a friend, he didn't have a car and the mother of his child was screaming for money too. I felt sincerely bad for him. I thought if I could get him in to started helping me pedal some of our content, we could pay him for that.

Sounds good from the outside.

Ernie shows up to the office and asks me if it's okay if he also sells some of his own content. I said, sure no problem. I asked to see what he had for content because AmoreTV might be in a position to purchase content in the coming months.

As he showed me the content, I realized it was Greg Gregorys content and I know that in the settlement that a different company got the sole rights to re-sell the content. Ernie said that he had a re-seller agreement in place. So, I asked him to provide the agreement to me. Repeatedly for 2 weeks. All the while he spent his entire time selling content that was not allegedly legal for him to sell. He wasn't even doing the job I hired him to do at my office at all. I'm not going to get into the details because it's embarrassing that I let it go so long.

I can not be associated with someone who is conducted illegal acts in my building. Sorry, Ernie. Your a good guy and you may deserve the right to resell the content. But, the law is the law. I wish you the best.
