In business, if someone gives two weeks notice, I don't want to stand in the way of them moving on, so I would let them go IMMEDIATELY! Not Fired. They Quit. Get moving on. No sense in sticking around dicking the dog on my dime.
Kim did exactly what I would have done. Let em go.
Look at the filing dated 11/28/2016, the 65 page "Response to Motion." Look at "Exhibit C" on page 50. You'll find Berio's "Notice of Resignation." It is dated April 29th, and provides the required 30 days notice. The resignation is "effective as of May 31st, 2016."
The Longoria and Ochoa notices say the same. "Effective May 31st, 2016." They're all right there in the filing, for anyone who wishes to do the research.
The dates are important, because they show the summons against NGCG was properly served.
Now, here's where things get really sleazy....
Six weeks after that motion was filed, NGCG filed their response. In it, they included a document they hadn't produced before. It is titled "Amended Minutes of the Directors of New Generation Consumer Group Inc." I've provided an image below.
Now, read that again. No notice was given, and no copies of that supposed waiver are included in the filing. Only Tom Kim was present, it (supposedly) took place at 9:30 AM on the same day the letters of resignation were composed. Oh yea - the "Amended Minutes" weren't created until January 4th - over 8 months AFTER the meeting supposedly took place, and only 6 days before they were filed in a court proceeding where the sudden (and long missing) minutes became useful to their defense.
Sorry, it's pretty obvious what's going on. The only question is, will it work?
Here are the images from the filings, first Berio's resignation letter, effective May 31st, 2016, then the January 4th 2017 "Amended" minutes:
