I just spoke to Rob. He doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. His status with GenesisIntermedia and his ongoing role as a witness for the prosecution in the investigations by the SEC and FBI were all disclosed to GTE before he came on board. In fact, several of you seemed to make an issue of this back then and the company stood behind Rob because he's a good man. Globeatle-- you are right, he still is not sure how the company found him and his main focus is private equity and mezzanine stage debt, and he says if you truly have his home phone number, call him on it. If you feel he's not being upfront with you, or disingenious, call him and tell him like a man, not like a coward hiding behind the anonymity of a firewall.
Then, he did some freelance for US EURO Securities, which was founded by his mentor, writing the web site copy and press releases about the firm being retained by different companies and people joining the firm, never about the clients' themselves, and then he helped out Aidan Capital, apparently the CEO is a friend of his, for a few months when they acquired New Morning and made it Window Rock. He said he has the stock certificate for the 100k shares he was paid (about $600) sitting in his bottom desk drawer in his home office. He doesn't get you people... you'll crawl on any bandwagon that's already headed downhill just to place blame somewhere. He also questioned the identity of the poster.
I'm sure this post will get pulled off quickly because the only ones that are staying on today are the ones bashing him.
