Peter,
Within your blog reply you have chosen to shift the focus of not paying the staff as agreed. You offer no explanation as to why staff wasn't paid as agreed. Instead you make it known to your colleagues (some who already had prior awareness) that Nile has a conviction record. Then you falsely accuse me of being a cyber stalker, and frame yourself as “the latest victim of cyber extortion”. Oily tactics designed to salvage your eroding reputation. You further continue this nonsense by injecting race into an issue that is completely race neutral by characterizing yourself as the benefactor of a down trodden African American, paaalease.
Regretfully this exposes you as the true racist that you must be. Sleeping with women of color does not acquit you from being a racist. During American slavery just about every plantation had bi-racial children running around in abundance, care to guess who fathered all of those bi-racial children?
If your guess was “non racist slavemasters” then you are on to something. :-) A recommended movie for you since you enjoy movies: Jefferson in Paris. Not the best movie but it proves my point.
Further you state that I bombarded your innocent friends and colleagues with emails and extortion letters etc. Most interesting is that you present incomplete snippets of a letter that you received on my behalf which you present as a random extortion demand for $30,000. Presenting the letter in it's entirety and not in a self serving edited manner would have been even handed. However we both know you will never present the letter in it's entirety since it reveals the truth behind the falsehood that you continue to present. Moreover, evenhandedness and fair dealing is not your style which of course all of your former Ocean Vineyard partners and perhaps even your law enforcement friends are now fully aware of.
The truth as you well know it is:
Ocean Vineyard owes back base compensation pay to several former executive staff members.
Before, during and after the company ceased operations you and your wife agreed to reconcile your obligation to your staff, to date and almost 2 years later the obligations remain unpaid. This proves you are deadbeat employers and unprincipled human beings, and the universe will punish you for your conduct. As your wife is fond of hypocritically saying “God don't like ugly”.
All reasonable people would agree that vigorously pursuing an entrepreneurial endeavor and failing to achieve the original intended result does not make you a villain or a failure. How you handle the team around you who were all dedicated, steadfast, loyal and entrenched beside you before, during, and after the end of business operations is a clear reflection of your true character. This is where Ocean Vineyard dropped the ball and failed miserably. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote, "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
Within your blog you complain that your friends and colleagues were bombarded with emails, the word bombarded is a mischaracterization of facts. The fact is many good faith attempts at civil communications were made to you directly, which you ignored. Subsequently your lawyer was contacted and immediately you replied and expressed a desire to pay what you owe. After you were provided with banking coordinates to pay, along with a reasonable deadline, you continued to ignore future attempts at proper reconciliation. Previously you even agreed to pay installments to Sam of 500.00 per month for his $21,000 arrears base compensation.
When you chose to become unreachable and to ignore extended patience and reason, people who were close to you or had direct access to you were contacted in an effort to forward a message to you, although perhaps embarrassing, the approach was successful in conveying the message. Besides whats good for the goose is also good for the gander; your law enforcement friend decided to "bombard" my colleagues with emails in an effort to cause reputation harm. In all honesty the people who matter the most were supportive of me despite his efforts, because they already had prior awareness of your arrears compensation.
This open letter is intended as a caution for those who may be inclined to fall victim to your semantic traps of deception.
Though painful to admit, it is now my belief that despite prior repeated assurances and for whatever the reason, Ocean Vineyard never intended to pay what it owed me. Your wife constantly expressed to me that you were a “user” I ignored her and considered her overly emotional as you know, yet she was correct in the end. Although encouraging you to do the right thing by simply paying what you owe has failed, I have succeeded in making available the true nature of your character to anyone who decides to enter “Peter K. Lobnig” into a search engine and pressing the search button.
Given the proper circumstances I'm confident that all information adverse to your reputation can be removed from search engines, however the longer it remains within the search engine indexes, the more difficult it will be to remove.
