You are correct. The default judgment was in favor of Harvey Vechery. Back in January. Halpern did not show for that date either. Did the attorney fail to mention that to Halpern almost four months ago? You were told that Halpern only found out about the court date last week? Even though it doesn’t matter, that’s probably because he no longer has an attorney of record listed. It was not on any of the documents I read. Just Greg Halpern and Max Sound. Therefore, it was Halpern’s responsibility to stay on top of scheduling. In other words, it’s a pretty lame excuse.

My first response is that a CEO in charge of a company should pay more attention to his legal status. In addition, it was certainly the topic of discussion on the boards the last few weeks. I think he would need to pay his attorney to ensure that he stays on top of important scheduling such as this court date. That might have been the “falling out” you are hypothesizing about.

You are saying that Halpern is telling you he gets a “Scooby Doo-over” with the court because he didn’t know about the date? That’s not the way it works. It’s a “dog ate my homework” level excuse. But it does sound like his no-show for the Google hearing which resulted in a judgment against MAXD, Blaisure, and Halpern. It also sounds like the judgment case in Chicago, and then sister judgment case in San Diego where he didn’t show. That was the 8-million-dollar judgment from the Z-Trim shareholders against Halpern.The old saying about “ignorance of the law is no excuse” pertains to Greg Halpern as well.

People have been talking about this date for weeks on the board. You can’t just not show up and then blame it on an attorney who was not even listed. Since Greg Halpern has a “no show” history when it comes to court appearances, I think this is nothing more than an attempt to deflect attention away from the source of the problems.

Upon further review, you stated, “Pandora’s box is now open. The case will most likely go another year or two?” Does anyone seriously believe the court would accept Halpern’s excuse that he had no prior knowledge of the date? Or that his attorney didn’t notify or respond to him. That may have been a reason to request an extension prior to the date, but not to reopen a judgment relief case after it has already been adjudicated. If Hanson was still his attorney, which I have been told he is not, Halpern may have cause to go back against him personally, but not against the judgment itself.

Halpern may well be the majority shareholder, but the default judgment is for debts defaulted upon. In addition, the court would more than likely take into consideration Halpern’s overall lack of respect for the judicial system and his history of “no shows” before allowing any legal consideration for imaginary forgetfulness. By the way, why are you referencing Pandora’s Box?

Funny how Halpern has a "falling out" with so many lawyers, employees, business associates, and girlfriends after ripping them all off.

It's almost as if people get offended when a compulsive con-man takes advantage of them.

Default judgement in favor of HV....
From what I was told
Greg Halpern had just found out about April 28 hearing last week....

He never heard from his attorney, who also never contacted him or wouldn't return GH calls/email's....


There might of been a falling out between the two, however it was mentioned in a text that Greg Halpern is filing back against Harvey Vechery, and
Mr. Hanson....
