Sarraf Gentile LLP hires a bouncer:
Today I visited Sarraf Gentile twice. The first time was about 11:45am. Their door was locked (they occupy 2-3 back offices of the larger law firm Shalov Stone & Bonner), and no one answered when I knocked on their door (they have no bell), so I left.
Later on in the afternoon I went back, and this time their door was open, so I went in, and in the same office I was in yesterday, was the same guy at his desk, and another younger guy sitting on another desk. I asked "Is Joseph Gentile here?", upon which the younger guy hopped off his desk and walked toward me, saying "Come here". So I followed him out of the room into the hallway and out the exit, thinking he was leading me to Joseph Gentile in another office across the hall at Shalov Stone & Bonner.
He proceeded to go back in, locking the door behind him, rudely saying "Make an appointment, like a normal person!", and walked out of sight, leaving me by the elevators.
At the bottom of the lawsuit press release it reads (my bold):
"If you would like to participate in this action or would like additional information about the lawsuit, please contact Joseph Gentile at Sarraf Gentile LLP, 485 Seventh Avenue, Suite 1005, New York, New York 10018 (telephone: 212-868-3610; e-mail: joseph@sarrafgentile.com).
I don't see where it says one must make an appointment first!
I then proceeded to call Joseph Gentile on my cell phone, and with no answer, left this message:
"Hi Joseph. My name is xxx xxxxx, and I'm a GTE shareholder looking for additional information about the lawsuit, and I was just rudely escorted out of your offices and told to make an appointment like a normal person. From your press release, it doesn't state that an appointment is necessary, and as I was in the neighborhood, I thought I'd drop by
to get the information I seek...and speaking of seeking information, you might try calling David Leinwand at Cleary Gottlieb to verify the existance of InterNafta. He is the one who is delivering the default notice to InterNafta, and if they don't exist, as you allege, who will he deliver the notice to, a ghost? I think you can take his word for it on their existance. Oh, and by the way, not GlobeTel, but a group of GlobeTel shareholders/investors will be filing a lawsuit against your firm, and considering how I was rudely treated today by personnel at your offices, I'm all for it. Just thought I should give you fair warning, and I hope you're prepared to lose big-time! Bye!" (I also left him my phone number, but no reply from him as of yet).
And so concluded today's adventure at Sarraf Gentile.
