Bergamo Acquisition Corp. (BGMO)

Rather than trying to find a guy who knows a guy who heard about the event, I thought I would try calling or emailing the people who were there. Many of the names previously reported now have unlisted numbers or they have moved away. For those that I did get in touch with, virtually all just don’t want to talk about Bergamo or the Caraquet ground breaking.

I did speak with Mr. Swire briefly about 5 PM yesterday. I told him what was reported on the I-Hub website. He said that he does not regularly look at the blogs unless someone lets him know. Swire said he and his team is very busy.

He did provide some new insights to the Caraquet event. He chuckled with the limo pickup. Swire said the Town of Caraquet (not GreenSafe) rented a van (not a limo) from a firm in Tracadie. One of the former GreenSafe officers drove the van to the Bathurst airport late on the afternoon of 8 December and picked up Hillard Herzog and Hal Wolfe. Mr. Kennedy and Swire were also in the van.
They went directly to the Hotel Paulin. Mr. Swire said that the old Victorian Inn is a real gem. The Town hosted an elaborate dinner in HH’s honour. Mr. Swire offered to forward a copy of a photo of Mayor Landry presenting HH with a painting. Swire commented that you can also see through the windows that it was an evening event.

Mr. Swire told me that the ground breaking went well with the local media. The big cheque was prepared locally and all of the bank encoding on it was from a real BGMO cheque faxed by Herzog to the then GreenSafe offices. Swire remarked that the BGMO even had the cheque up on its website for a day when they realized it had the encoding on it. It was taken down and photo-shopped with only 9’s printed. I asked if that bill was paid and Swire said yes over 3 years ago. Swire recalled GreenSafe reimbursing the Town for the rental van in 2010 as well. The bill for the rooms was paid shortly after his return to Ontario. He said that all of those invoices and cancelled cheques are currently with Kennedy. Swire offered to provide me with Kennedy’s contacts.

Mr. Swire did say that Herzog unexpectedly paid for the dinner on the 9th with the town leaders and the GreenSafe team in attendance.

I wanted to learn more of the Caraquet event but Swire got called away to another call.
