It just so happens I live in Nevada and I've received the same email. Here's a quick background of myself; I live in Las Vegas and was one of the operators of dreamcastfun.com -a website which was devoted to getting Sega gamers online via FISPs. Anyway, I'll try to keep track of this service and I'll check out the legitimacy of the program. (Through means I will not mention here.) That is, if I receive the beta. Cat, you probably don't know me, but I'm a big fan of yours! icon_biggrin.gif (Bah! Is he still around? Ok, nevermind.)

PostPosted: Fri Jan 03, 2003 1:34 am    Post subject: to cook or not to cook, that is the question!! Reply with quote

The events of the past few years have certainly diminished our ability to trust Corporations. Did anybody see Dot1Web’s CEO, Bob Demaio in the paper recently? Was anyone suckered in by those claims of assets and valuation? Christ, even former Enron CEO, Kenneth Lay was at home screaming "bull$%@#!"

Over the past year, our confidence in the basic institutions of society has suffered blow after blow. The dotcom collapse taught us we can't trust the stock market. Dot1Web taught us we can't trust the regulators who are supposed to supervise it.

The one I really want to see in the hot seat is Bob Demaio, the guy who apparently pulled all those financial deals, with Freedom Motorcycles, that read like Chinese pig Latin. Forget the judicial system, I want to see this guy worked over by a gauntlet of laid-off Dot1Web employees armed with barbed clubs and junior high anatomy manuals. Demaio should be walking like the guy in the Levis Super Bowl commercial.

Magical commodity that is difficult to earn and easy to lose, and a healthy skepticism will always be needed to help you avoid getting conned, because people like Demaio will always produce more crap than a herd of Holsteins grazing in a prune field. I believe it is not enough to point fingers, we must learn from Mr. Demaio as well.

With Dot1web execs hiding losses like they were frozen Three Musketeer bars in Anna Nicole Smith's house, to their CFO shredding paper like Captain Hook rolling a joint, Nevadans are finally putting Demaio under the microscope and they still can't see their investments. Hey, if you were pulling in ten figures a year, and you started to see your dynasty crumble like a Ritz cracker in Jiminy Glick's back pocket, wouldn't you cook the books at 451 degrees Fahrenheit, but you really don’t even have to cook the books anymore, you just have to simmer them, because in the present-day looking glass, Dot1web’s accounting practices read, “Red is the new black”.

Throughout the 80's and 90's, CEO's were treated like rock stars. Unfortunately, we've now reached the point on Behind The Music where the ominous voice says, "But just then, Dot1Web CEO, Bob Demaio, decided they needed to go out for more beer..."

I don't want to see Mr. Demaio going to jail for three years a minimum-security prison that doubles as a Country Club during the day. I want Demaio and his clan to witness the damage that they caused up close. I think they should be sentenced to community service sorting the shoe bin at the local Salvation Army in a low-income neighborhood to get a sense of how real people have to get by. Make Mr. Demaio work the drive-thru at Jack In The Box so I can literally hear that lying bastard's voice coming out of a clown's mouth. Just don't drive away without checking that you got everything you ordered because you will probably get screwed in the drive through.

What I'd actually like to see is these guys do hard time in hard prison. See how they like it when we let the warden get creative with the books keeping their sentences. You want to make sure this doesn't happen again, put these losers in with the general population who are doing 10-20 for stealing a scintilla of what these guys did. Then make sure there is a live "Big Brother" shower-cam feed into every CEO's office in the country. Executives are going to think twice about cheating the numbers as well as your employees and investors, when they spot their CFO all lathered up with a windchime hangin' from his rear end.

That’s just the way I see it.

That was certainly well written, ghostwriter. Could you please provide a link to the "Bob Demaio in the paper recently" reference that you made? Thanks.

PostPosted: Fri Jan 03, 2003 16:33 pm    Post subject: "disgruntled employees" Reply with quote

I saw a comment on this Board from a "Dot1web" employee or officer of the company, stating that with the lay off's there will always be a few disgruntled employees.

Good Lord, what do you expect when you lay off employees after bouncing their checks and offering the crap stock in return of actual cash, expecially during the Christmas season. When most parents are able to buy presents for their children, these people had to figure out how they were going to keep a roof over their head and food in their mouths??????


Shame on you, Bob Demaio!!
