Provide the link showing Pohlman's "excellent reputation". I just don't see how that type of statement can be made.

Yes there were a few Google hits showing his contribution to the Dwight Eisenhower Center (among hunderds of contributors) and a mention of him in the minutes to a public hearing about re-zoning in the city where he lives.

I also did a public record search. There is also a Bert Pohlman that owns a Holiday Inn (franchise) in Ft. Meyers. There is also a "Herbert Pohlman Trust" (not sure if the same person, or a related party trust in which B Pohlman is one of the beneficiaries) that owns Sandpiper Resort in Naples. IMO, I'm pretty certain this is the same Bert Pohlman that invested in CTT.

So apparently he has interest in motels & resort in his locality. He could have just as well inherited the wealth or built it himself. That doesn't make him give him carte blanche "a great reputation".
