People who know Eddie and who have worked with him or (gag) been in business with him will tell you in no uncertain terms what a lying, scamming, conniving pissant of a con-man he really is. The only way a lot of them ever got paid anything was to sue him. Vladimir and he stole pension funds from employees when they ran Intelecon and the DOJ had to sue them. So unless you can live on lies, deception, IOU's, 'pie-in-the-sky' promises, baloney and bullsh*t I think you're all well and truly screwed!
IMO there never ever was any real effort on the part of the Vakser Mafia to build a profitable business --one that that grew in value and paid dividends to shareholders. It seems their intent was simply to put on a good show in order to suck more suckers ito a giant sucking vortex of lies.
I'd call him a miserable bastard but that would be an insult to miiserable bastards!
