I'm confused by what you wrote. His signature was on funds barry sent from the company to his private business? Barry did that. There's no way for either one of us to know exactly what was transferred and why? Everything Grushkin has said that can be verified has turned out to be true. Everything Barry has said that can verified has turned out to be a lie. And that's the bottom line.imo
The SEC isn't going to care what a contract says. The SEC is going to hold Barry ultimately responsible. There is no getting round that. Ever. If any kind of punishment/penalties ever come out of it, Barry's will be a whole lot worse than Eric's.
IMO, I seriously would not doubt that B&L may some time get barred from being associated with any public company.
I heard from David Williams, the VP Finance and Administration, (who wouldn't take the CFO title because of all the litigation and IRS issues the company had) has contacted Eric to lend any support he could lend to support Eric's allegations.
David said, it took exactly 1 week on the job to learn that everything Eric said was true.
Not only that. There are enough Messages from him on this board which leave or better said left the Impression to those who believed him, that he was in Charge.
And the Employment Agreement with AAPT is very clear to the Point. The judge will tear him apart.
