AN OPEN LETTER TO
ALEX FLEMING
Since Facebook postings are your ONLY method of
communicating, Alex Fleming, as ugly and ineffective as that is, I am responding to your unfounded, baseless, malicious,
deceitful, fabricated, specious and spurious postings, with this writing, using this detailed report.
If you were the
responsible, mature and level headed adult that we all had expected, you would
have contacted me personally, before ranting around this FB world. You did
nothing to reach out to me. You know where I live – you have been in my home at
least 10 times! And you never knocked on my front door, or even left a note! This
is very sad. But that does explain your mental instability, and your desperation,
as you tried to cover up the conniving, scheming and stealing that you and your
cronies have been carrying out, from day one.
I am
no longer prepared to be associated with you, Alex, nor any organization where
you are in a leadership position. I cannot ignore nor condone the theft of “recovered”
bikes and cash, by you and your associates, from a legitimate, established,
501©3 Corporation. You and your corrupt associates have been caught with your
hands in the proverbial cookie jar, Alex!
These
recovered bikes do NOT belong to SBN – they are the property of the bicycle
owner, and it was always our mission to locate these owners and give them back
their duly owned bicycles. Until then, it was our mission to be “custodians” of
these recovered bikes, and to keep them safe and secure until the rightful
owner could be located, a responsibility that you loved to boast about, but
have violated.
Alex,
no one has the authorization to lend, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any
bikes in our custody – you and your associates just did it! These bikes are
still missing, in actual numbers yet to be determined. Alex, you stole thousands
of dollars in used bikes and money from your own organization. Since you also
personally sold these already recovered bikes for money, then you “double”
stole from your own organization, and from a legitimate not-for-profit
Corporation.
This
“heroic” bike recovery program, which we all fervently believed in, has all
just been a sham, as it is now evident,
from the git-go. You, and your friends, and associates, have not only stolen
bikes and money from this organization, you schemed to create a side business,
using this not-for-profit. Your continued ranting, your hate postings, your
hate speech, the personal vitriol against me, the lies, the endless negative
claims and continued hostile actions undertaken by you are all designed as a diversion - a big cover up – in order to hide these thefts, and to
attempt to enhance your position in the cycling community.
THE STORY:
So let’s begin at the beginning. A little over a year ago, I
ran across your unaffiliated and
disorganized group, primarily working to resolve the bike thefts in the French
Quarter/Marigny/Bywater area, This haphazard leaderless group included you,
Alex, Dean, Thomas, Quentin, Shannon, Heidi, JP, and some others who faded in
and out. This unstructured group was targeting the rash of bicycle thefts that
were plaguing the City. These thefts were largely ignored by NOPD, all other
officials, and various agencies. As I recall, the thefts numbered at least 5 bike
thefts a day, 7 days a week (or perhaps more)!
As an avid bicyclist myself, I was also concerned about the
bike theft epidemic, and focusing on the “root of the problem”: I concluded
were in large part, the crappy cable locks that were in use all over the City,
which locks petty thieves easily and quickly can cut, making the theoretically
“locked” bikes incredibly vulnerable. You told me that these thieves were
actually doing quite well – they would steal any bike locked with a crappy cable
lock in seconds, and then sell it, sometimes within mere minutes, to anyone
they could find, for a quick $10 or $20. You believed that the thief used this
money to buy a drug fix. (We agreed that there is a high correlation
between bike theft and serious addiction.) These bike thieves are generally
not violent- they are mostly men – they are often homeless, living under the
Expressway and in tents around the City; and often crashing in vacant and
abandoned houses. Dean Gray led the extremely effective recovery “team” by
locating and entering these vacant houses, where anywhere from 1 to 10 bikes
were often found – and we later determined that they were always all stolen.
Remember I told you that I had formed a not-for-profit
Corporation that had never been activated? So, at my invitation Alex, you and
your band of merry lily-white men and I affiliated – I initiated the process to
legitimately add you and your band to membership on the Board of the Corporation. This created a formal identity
for SBN, an image of legitimacy (even
though your actions are all still vigilante), as well as the ability to
accept donated funds to pay for bike recovery activities, to store unclaimed
bikes in inventory, and otherwise move from a “band of outlaws” to an established
legitimate organization – which mission was to help everyone in the cycling
community – a commendable mission, and one that I was (once) proud to be a part
of.
THE 501©3 NOT-FOR-PROFIT
CORPORATION
For years, I had a 501©3 Corporation with IRS EIN and accreditation,
an operating bank account at a local Credit Union (with only me as the authorized
signer). Therefore, using appropriate and legal procedures, modifying the Corporation
to work with the Stolen Bikes organization was easy. I drafted Corporation
membership procedures and we carried out proper organizational meetings to have
members duly elected to Board membership as well as nominated and elected Board
officers, just like any not-for profit or other Corporation. Neither you, Alex,
nor any other members purchased stock in the Corporation; you were given no
shares; you had no legal “ownership”, nor any entitlements to this existing Corporation,
whatsoever. [You always understood this –
one of the most recent txts you sent me was an offer to “buy my Corporation”,
remember Alex? Why did you not ever mention this little detail in your rants?]
When you were elected President of the Corporation, Alex, you
knew nothing about the complexities of a 501©3; you did not know how to run a Board
meeting; how to use Robert’s Rules (which you had never even heard of); how to
set an agenda; the necessity to draft By-Laws for the organization. [Which, even after I drafted a full set of
By-Laws, and repeatedly put them on the agenda, and then distributed them via
email in advance and also during 3 different meetings, you just blew them off –
now I know why!] You never bothered to get signature power on the checking
account either, even after being reminded repeatedly that it was a part of your
responsibilities [Thank heavens for this item
of ignorance!] Rather, the Corporation and the organization just operated as
you, Alex, felt at any particular time, on a willy-nilly, disorganized,
disjointed and highly unprofessional and improper basis. [This has always caused me real concern; I attributed it all to “growing
pains”; I gave you the benefit, again and again – my big mistake!]
FACE TO FACE MEETING
Do you remember the ONE (and only) face-to-face meeting about
2 months ago between us, that I was finally able to arrange, where we chatted
about how to work on your management style, as well as the image of the
organization? I recommend that since you were a “public figure”, perhaps you could
temper some of your contentious negative and hate-filled blasts that you
continually posted all over Facebook.
[Alex, why do you hate middle class people? Why hate tourists? Why hate
the Marigny 5? Why hate government? Hate gentrification? Hate Airbnb? Hate
landlords? Hate inner city redevelopment? Hate infill housing? Hate New Orleans
City Council? Hate NOPD? And recently you also decided to hate me – this is
just a short list of the “Alex Hates” that I can quickly recall.]
During that private meeting, you never raised any issues or
concerns you had with me or my actions. You simply never understood, nor were
able to follow, proper board meeting procedures either – you never got it. Even
after our 2 hour affable meeting, you never quite figured out that you too can
invite someone, anyone, to sit down for a reasonable, adult conversation, or
how to make a phone call in order to discuss something you believe is
important, or to send a simple, not insulting, email or message. And your
methods of communication are to just blast horrible, insulting, untruthful and
derogatory remarks and paste them all over Facebook. [Alex, how is this choice of communication working for you?]
We all now know is that the
entire SBN project and everything to do with it was designed as a money making
venture to benefit only you and your selected associates, so working together
with me was inconsistent with these secret goals and objectives.
MANAGING THE ORGANIZATION
As the year passed, things progressed amazingly well with
the bike location and recovery work – Tom Schneider, the self-appointed “keeper
of the inventory”, through his amazing proprietary complex computer based
application he brilliantly designed and launched, proudly reports and posts “over
600 bikes recovered” and “over 500 bikes returned to their owners” – all carried
out at no cost to the victims – obviously a commendable accomplishment. Something
we were all proud of, and rightly so.
Even better, also through the efforts of this cadre of men, at
least 6 bike thieves were identified, and cases made about their thievery. They
were located, actually arrested and jailed! NOPD personnel had to do nothing
but use the facts and the evidence provided by Dean and the crew to make the
cases and jail these perps! Another unique, commendable and successful undertaking
for which the group is to be congratulated. Again, we were all very proud,
weren’t we?
But you had a secret, didn’t you
Alex. You planned to hijack my not-for-profit Corporation, as well as the
Stolen Bikes organization, and use them for your personal benefit, in order to
secretly give away or sell recovered bikes, as well as to go into business as a
build-a-bike and repair company, without the knowledge, nor the approval, of
the organization itself nor Board of Directors. Everything you have done
confirms this plan. A number of your associates also knew about this scam. This
is called a “conspiracy”!
THE FUND RAISING EVENT
As the first anniversary of the organization approached, and
the need for operating funds grew (to pay for gas to transport recovered bikes;
to pay for group T-shirts; to pay the fees for the next level of 501©3 filing;
to buy, what the police define as, “burglary tools”, used to cut locks, also to
pay rent on a bike storage facility, etc.) [In
turn, I and several other members fronted the costs of doing this fund raising Event
out of our pockets – you and your “personal” group did not contribute even one
penny.]
I recruited a new member to spearhead this major fund
raiser/anniversary Event. [recruited Kerri
Becker, an avid cyclist too, who is also an incredibly skilled and widely
recognized Event planner/organizer], and I invited l several other new members,
who brought needed skills to the Board, aside from being people of color. [Alex, the blazing whiteness of your group
has always made me uncomfortable, and runs counter to the widely held philosophy
of inclusion within the cycling community.]
Alex, you bragged that the silent auction was a huge success
– we were counting on 100, planning for 200, and over 350 attended. Every
aspect of the Event from donations of valuable items to be auctioned, locating
the venue (for free), preparing and cooking 250 burgers, 100 hotdogs and 50
lbs. of French fries; selling over 300 soft drinks and water; transporting dozens
of recovered and unclaimed bikes from the warehouse to the venue; Event
security; free bike tune-ups; instruction on properly locking up a bike,
educational slide shows and the actual auction with 14 stations, were all organized
and carried out by the folks I recruited and brought into the group. Your
people were welcome to participate, and actually did little or nothing! [That is a sad aside – but was a good
demonstration of what Alex’s people are all about.]
THEN ALEX WENT THOUGH
YOUR “CHANGE of LIFE”
So – what went wrong? At the time, I was really did not know
– which I place on my own naiveté. When I look back, it seems that it all began
about 3 weeks before the scheduled June fund raising Event. It was then that I
began to focus on the inventory of bikes available for the auction. (Obviously
we had to list, describe and promote the specific number, brand, model and
types of bikes we were going to sell, right? So these inquiries were reasonable
at that time.) It was then that you
started to target me, personally, and post rants all over the place vaguely complaining
about me and complaining about what I was doing. I had no answers to these
vague attacks which were actually quite amusing - one of your postings read: “You are so regal, Mr. Opert.” (What the
hell does that mean?)
I was baffled. I asked repeatedly for you to explain what you
were talking about. You not only failed to provide any reasonable or even sane responses,
you chose to go into hiding, while carrying on more bizarre personal attacks [all of which I had blocked]. This one-sided,
unjustified, horrible, abusive and insulting behavior on your part continued incessantly
for the next 2 weeks, before the scheduled Event. Doubts about your mental stability
were thereby confirmed! Add your totally unacceptable public attack at a City
Council meeting - something “fuck’ and “yourselves” – really Alex? (Sadly, your
mental condition can also be evaluated by anyone who just reads your rants,
Alex.) Meanwhile, nothing other than many people’s continuing efforts to organize
the Event was going on – while, aside from being both unavailable and
invisible, Alex, it became evident that you were indeed losing your mind.
BICYCLE INVENTORY
We had bikes, bike frames, bike parts, bike wheels, bike
tires – all stored in the locked warehouse. I did not do an inventory at that
time; the inventory was not my assignment and I didn’t think more about it. I
was organizing vehicles and transporting- loading and unloading and moving the
stuff.
This “recovered” stuff, had been initially stored, and then
collected by me, from the rear of Deans’ yard (about 50 bikes, more than a
dozen bike frames, and about 20 bicycle wheels – 4 pickup truck loads) a dozen
bikes and a couple of frames from my yard (2 truckloads); 5 bikes from
Shannon’s apartment; and 5 really nice bikes from Tom’s apartment. [You were never there Alex – you never
participated - you never showed up – you never helped at all Alex, during any
of these scheduled moves. Rather, you chose to stay away while ranting
endlessly with your ugly posts – so very weird! I concluded you were just
nuts.]
Tom was the self-appointed official “keeper of the recovered
bicycle inventory”. I drove Tom to the bike storage facility 3 different times
over the 2 week period before the Event, in an effort to pin down the bike
inventory. [That’s right, you never
showed up to any of these work sessions, Alex. You’d rather let me, Tom and
another member, in over 90 degree heat, haul over 100 bikes, frames and parts
all around the warehouse while we categorized them. These openly scheduled
visits would have been an ideal time for a reasonable discussion, between us right
Alex? You were the leader of this organization Alex.]
In retrospect, for over a year, notwithstanding all kinds of
efforts and inquiries, we never had an actual count of bikes on hand. Beginning
with Dean’s “in-his-head” numbers that changed almost daily, to Tom’s
computerized detailed schedule, which also changed daily. Didn’t you publish a computerized
list of recovered bikes, frames and parts? Didn’t you post a list of bikes and
frames that had been returned to their rightful owners? How could we not have
an accurate count? Day by day, moment by moment, even though bikes were being
recovered/added and returned/deducted, almost daily? It is simple arithmetic,
isn't it? Well, not so with Alex and your crooked cronies!
AT LEAST 60 BIKES ARE
MISSING, AS WELL AS MONEY
Let’s examine the inventory [from SBN published numbers]:
Recovered: 600+
Re-united: 500+
Difference: 100+
By simple subtraction, there should be at least 100+
bikes (excluding frames and parts) in our custody, and in storage, right? Well, there NEVER was. During each of
these visits, I personally counted bikes in inventory. The count went from about
70 on hand the first day, to about 50 the second day, to 47 and then to 38. These
were the 38 bikes that were brought to the auction Event. Based on Tom’s
“rules” these were the only bikes on hand that were labelled “ready” for sale –
in inventory for over 90 days and not identified by any rightful owners. That
left 32 bikes in storage, right? Well, there were far less left in storage, as
several bikes that I had seen previously, just disappeared.
Even with rounding, today we are about 50+ bikes short –
they were unquestionably recovered and recorded, but are missing. If we place a
value of say $50 per used recovered bike –that is at least $2,500 worth of
bikes unaccounted for – between recovery and included in inventory, they are just
plain missing!
Looking further into the missing bikes, every time I went
to the storage unit, I noticed that the very nice bikes (meaning a quality
brand name, new or a year or 2 old, a nice original paint job, all parts still
attached, and in good working condition, worth well over $500 and even up to
$3,000 which I personally saw), were there on one visit and gone the next. When
I asked about this, I was quickly advised that the nice bikes had all been
re-united with their owners..
I also know that they were NOT reunited with many owners.
In several cases, particularly for bikes valued at over $1,000, the rightful
owners reported that they had sought reimbursement from their insurance
company, and no longer wanted the bike! So, they should have been in our
inventory, ready to be auctioned. But, they had ALL just disappeared. I am
estimating 10 to 20 such nice bikes just “went away” during the 3 weeks leading
up to the auction – at an average used value of say $500 each, that’s $10,000
of top quality used and missing bikes!
In addition, Tom’s inventory that was produced specifically for the Event, reports 9
more bikes (with photos and serial numbers etc.) that were on the “approved for
sale” inventory, that never showed up at the Event! We asked where they
were – walking around with the printed sheets trying to find the subject bikes.
No answers were given. At an average of say $100 per used “decent” bike, that
is another $900 in bikes that went missing.
Tom is skilled at flimflamming answers, so no one could
understand what was actually going on – including myself and others who were
present at the warehouse.

[This is the core of the issue, Alex, right? Your animosities began at
the same time I started questioning the accuracy of the bicycle inventory, and you
suspected that I had figured out your crooked scheme. Well, I admit that had
NOT figured it out Alex. I always gave you the benefit of the doubt and thought
you were just loonie. Now I know you are, and always have been, just an incompetent
crook.]
ALEX’S PERSONAL
“BIKE LOANER” PROGRAM
After repeatedly pressing you about this, Alex, you
revealed that you had “given” several bikes to your friends and associates (you
called them “loaned”). You claimed that these were loaned to people you believed
were “deserving of a new bike, for free”. You claimed: “Their bike was stolen
and they have no other means of transportation, so it’s only right that we loan
them a bike until they can get a new one.” However, we never had a count of how
many bikes were involved in your personal bike “loaner” program, nor who received
the bikes, or when, or for how long, if for free, or if you actually sold them.
We still have no idea!
You didn’t think it was your responsibility to inform the
other members of the organization of these (secret) goings on. I know that your
close friend Angie has several of our recovered bikes – that’s all I was able
to get you to divulge, Alex. Which bikes she has, where they came from, when
they were donated/loaned/given/sold to her, for how long, we have no idea. These
decisions were made by you personally and unilaterally, with no consultation,
and clearly in violation of the stated mission of the Organization. The duly
elected members of the Board of the Corporation that you presided over, has no
idea of any of this.
Since you never brought this policy
of yours to the Board, I conclude that you have been trying to cover up that it
even existed, by creating this nonsense drama between you and me –you expected
that the diversion would take the pressure off you and your unqualified illegal
and unacceptable self-serving scheme.
And now to your cohort Dean: Even though requested well
in advance, Dean’s bike count also always changed at, and even during, Board
meetings; they changed every week, and also when reported, every month. Dean
could not get the numbers to ever add up – as reported in the meeting’s minutes!
Then, finally, after also being challenged, Dean acknowledged that he too had
been “giving” bikes to his friends, as follows: if it involved a woman, who was
the victim of a bike theft, and she was cute, Dean decided to “loan” her a recovered
bike! (That is how Dean detailed the transactions when he discussed them with
me – along with a wink-wink and an elbow jab).
Regardless, we never had a count of how many bikes were involved
in Dean’s personal bike “loaner” program, nor who has the bikes nor for how
long, if any money changed hands, etc. Dean also never brought this personal bike
loaner policy to the Board; never reported that it even existed.
Dean had no authorization to
lend, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any bikes in our custody – Dean just
did it. These bikes are still missing, in numbers yet to be determined. It will
be impossible to convince me that you were unaware of Dean’s personal mission
It is now apparent that
Dean and Alex conspired together to dispose of many recovered bikes in any way
they chose.
ALEX UNLOADS TRUCKLOADS
OF BIKES GOING TO AUCTION
On the day before the Event, when we were at the
warehouse loading the 40 bikes, 20 bike frames, and about 20 bike wheels, onto
5 trucks and a trailer, you showed up. I was pleased to see that you would be
lending a hand! I was wrong, again!
You said to no one in general, “There have been some
changes.” Then you proceeded to remove one black mean’s road bike in good
condition from my truck, and mumbling something as you took it back into the
warehouse, never to be seen again. When you eyed the 20 bike frames already
loaded onto the flatbed trailer, you instructed everyone to return all of the
frames to the warehouse. You stated: “I have other plans for these.” No details
nor other explanation was offered. And then you also said, “Dean told me these
20 bike wheels are his. Put them back in to the warehouse.” You the suggested I
was trying to steal them! So we returned all of the used bike wheels to the
warehouse – no explanations offered.
I know that these wheels “belonged” to SBN and were to be
auctioned. When we were at his house, I specifically asked if the wheels in his
yard were also going to the warehouse, he clearly confirmed that indeed they
“belonged” to SBN and should also go to the warehouse. The day of the move,
Dean suddenly remembered that 20 wheels, that had been in warehouse storage for
over 3 weeks already, suddenly were actually his personal property. No one had
anything personal store din the warehouse at the time. Then why did he pay no rent
for storing his personal property?
Now I GOT it – the frames, the wheels, the warehouse, the involvement
in the cycling community….Alex is going into the bike rebuilding program and is
opening a store! That’s what this is all about!
ALEX HAS A HISSY
FIT!
On a side note, and to add a little, but sad, humor: at
the last Board meeting before the Event (which meeting I missed), it was
reported to me that during a discussion about the donations, Dean said that among
the bikes in the warehouse to be auctioned was one for a female with a small
frame, and he said “it would be great for Kerri”. Kerri replied that she might bid on it. That
is when Alex went off his rocker about Kerri’s “lack of ethics” (his words)
about spending her own money on bidding on a bike at a public auction. Alex, you
had a mental breakdown and screamed that “…it is illegal for a Board member to
bid on a donated item being auctioned…”, and then you stormed out of the
meeting. You then resigned your position
as President, which you emailed in writing and posted (following your usual procedure), along with posting a whole
lot more rants. What a laugh! - but keep reading…
Alex, you made such a huge issue about any Board member
bidding that Dean contacted me to let me know that he had “hired a licensed auctioneer
to take over the auction!” While Heidi ran to her legal library and printed
pages of law that she reported deals with non-for-profits and running auctions.
Heidi insisted that every public and private school/agency/organization/club/krewe
in this City, from the beginning of time, have all been breaking the law! (So much for Heidi’s legal opinions - just sayin'!)
And remember this one Alex: at about 9:10 pm, while the auction Event was
well underway, you came to me (and Kerri individually) and stated that “you had
decided that it was now okay for Board members to bid on items to be auctioned”,
and to “…please go to the auction and bid!” Kerri later reported that Dean also
came up to her (as he did me) saying that he went around and “got Board
approval from everyone during the Event” that Kerri could bid if she wanted to.
[You actually said this Alex. And you were
serious! You have indeed lost your mind.]
FRAUDULENT
GO-FUND-ME-ACCOUNT
A couple of other issues that never seemed to trouble you
Alex, are also problem. Dean’s personal “go-fund-me account”. You know, and you
were always aware, that Dean created a personal go-fund-me account, implying it
was in the name of the organization, to raise money exclusively for his own benefit.
It was not a fund that went into the not-for-profit Corporation’s bank account;
the money he collected never flowed through the Corporation; Dean never
accounted to the Board for the money either – raised/used/balance, etc. When I
found out about this, I tried to set up a new, separate, legitimate “go-fund-me”
account that was to be linked to the not-for-profit bank account, didn’t I
Alex? And what happened? It was blocked, and the plan died. Meanwhile Dean has
since re-activated his own personal “go-fund-me” account and continued to raise
money, falsely, still implying it is a SBN account.
[Bottom line here, Alex – Dean
has posted a fund raiser falsely claiming it is to benefit, and is in
conjunction with, a legitimate not-for-profit Corporation. This is fraudulent.
Or, on the other hand, raising money linked to the not-for profit, and not
turning over the money or even bothering to report it, is theft. Once way or
another, this is all wrong. You knew all
about this Alex, and once again, you did nothing. This is “co-conspirator” and
“accessory” stuff Alex.]
CONFLICT OF
INTEREST
Alex, we agreed that SBN would sublet bike storage space from your associate, Grim, the same 3
weeks before the Event, to store recovered bikes. A few of us Board members contributed
our own money to pay the first and last month rent – not all – just the same
few. The procedures we used were as follows: a cash or check donation was made
to the Corporation, deposited into the 501©3 bank account, and then a check was
drawn for the rent. [That’s how it is
supposed to work, right Alex? Except only you and your associates always do
things very differently.] Now I am told that Grim was added to the Board. So now you expect not-for-profit Corporate funds
are to be paid to a Board member? Alex, this also does not pass the smell test.
This, also, is just not acceptable
practice. And on it goes….
THE FUNDS THAT WERE
RAISED
Alex, as to the raised funds, which totaled less than
$5,000, they were, and still are in the same bank account, “owned” by, in the
custody of, and in the name of, the 501©3 Corporation. The Treasurer reported
that everyone who submitted an invoice for all monies due them for
all-out-of-pockets, and for purchases that were made specifically for both the Event
itself (like food, signage, tables, etc.) and on behalf of the organization
(like T-shirts, flyers, business cards, etc.) plus the warehouse rent, have ALL
been paid, in full, from the proceeds of the fund raiser. All these expenses
totaled less than $3,000.
To my knowledge no one, who fronted
any money for the SBN organization, as well as for the fund raising event, is
owed any money at this time.
The remaining funds will stay
right where they are – safe and secure, not in anyone’s personal account, and
not to be used by anyone for personal gain, in the name of the not-for-profit
Corporation which was the vehicle used for the fund raiser. As founder and
organizer, and as the registered Agent, that is my fiduciary obligation.
ALEX’S DIVERSION
GAME
You have gone nuts, Alex, and now that I
know about the massive cover up you have orchestrated, I understand the need
for your “diversion game.” It is all a massive, but childish, conspiracy.
To illustrate further:
The day after the fund raiser, my computer started
chirping as notices came in advising that I was being removed from every page
of every internet-based site that the organization had – and we had several. This
was completely unexpected. Just a dinging computer that went on for about 10
minutes – I guessed that the organization’s pages were being hacked!
Then it was brought to my attention that same day that
Alex had removed me and everyone associated with me from the Board. Without
notice. Unilaterally. Independently. Really? The people who actually staged and
managed the successful fund raiser were kicked off the Board, by the same President
who had already resigned from the Board himself! It is my conclusion that you,
Alex, and your associates, march to the tune of an enormously different
drummer!
It
is now evident that you, Alex, Dean, and Tom (and possibly other members of the
group) conspired to run your own bike loaner/sale program, for personal gain,
prestige and money, and then also stole recovered bike parts as well, all in
order to start your own bike repair business; and you have attempted to use my
bone fide 501©3 Corporation which mission was to legitimately recover and
return bikes, but you then stole them again and secretly disposed of them.
Alex, you and your group of associates have been stealing
from your own organization!
As
the originator and founder of this legal 501©3 Corporation, I am officially
registered on all State and Federal filings and documents, which are only in my
name, and for which I am the sole Registered Agent. Accordingly I have a
fiduciary obligation to operate this Corporation legally and legitimately. I
will not allow these secretive and illegal bike thefts to take place when
related in any way to this Corporation. This is a huge violation of trust.
Accordingly, the bike recovery project, as affiliated
with this Corporation, has been shut down. This is where the story ends.
