After accepting a salary of $40,000 per month for his involvement, Maheu brought in Donald Stoecklein to oversee the job.
The same Donald Stoecklein who employed Debbie Amigone? The woman who in April 05 wrote an email that a CMKX shareholder discovered that the new CMKX address was in reality a hot rod shop. She went on to advise:
You might want to call Urban [Casavant] or Michael and have them 'move in' and talk to the owner of the hot rod shop and also tell Andy what to tell shareholders when they call." (Div. Ex. 55.)
Did Mark Faulk inquire about this attempted deception when he interviewed Maheu? Did he inquire about what Maheu did on a daily basis, or if he actually did much work at all that earned him $40,000 a month? If he DID any work, you would think Maheu the super sleuth would have figured out somewhere along the way that this was not a legitimate business. Did Mark ask Maheu in depth questions, or did Mark just listen to Maheu's regurgitated stories of past glory?
Maheu said “I took this one (CMKX) on with the same enthusiasm, I should’ve checked it out a hell of a lot more carefully before I did.”
