FarmTrac Troubles

[SESS]

In regards to this statement from the article.........

"the practice of billing the company's dealers for tractors they hadn't ordered "started before (parts) inventory arrived" at the Tarboro plant."

In layman terms-that means the tractors were still on the ship, in the ocean and had NOT even gone through customs on LAND

" a former Farmtrac account manager, about $25 million in wire transfers made to Escorts Group while creditors in the U.S. were still owed money.
Joines said that while she was there, "if you wanted to keep your job, you had to do it," instead of issuing funds elsewhere."

WHERE DID THE MONEY TRANSFER TO?????????


I am very proud of the former Farmtrac employees that had to go through the ordeal in testifying-Those that testified and told the truth have my respect!!!!

Bonus points if you can name the three people behind the roll bar on the 675DTC picture. Adding which companies they represent will get you a star on your report.

Larry, Moe and Shemp.
Whoob, whoob, whoob!

Two thoughts:
1) Glad they gave testimony and it uncovered much of what some knew for the longest of times.

2) What in the mother f*** took them so long?! And why didn't they cooperate earlier?!

IMHO, there are still some *serious* integrity issues here.
Why? Many people lost jobs and dealers lost their businesses and/or lifetimes of labor due to the extended silence and lack of cooperation of a few.

Granted, it could've ended up worse...

Even without "a dog in the hunt" and operating purely from a philosophical position, it is *infuriating.*

This was sent to Senator Bond and Representative Emerson:

Dear _________<
Here is a link to an article in the Daily Southerner Newspaper:

The Daily Southerner, Tarboro, NC - Who gets paid first?

This concerns the wrong doing at Farmtrac, NA that the Federal Trade commission couldn't find. I hope you enjoy it. When your friends up on the hill say that we can't do anything to help protect our industries and businesses from illegal foreign acts because it is "protectionism" I hope that you'll share this article with them. I understand that congress can't do anything to protect it's smaller businesses because it is so important now to bailout crooks in the mega banks and insurance companies (and soon to be bailout mega shopping malls).
Thanks for reading this article to see what the Trade Commission glossed over!

Has our friendly bluetick been able to sniff out where the wire transfers went? Is it possible to do that without a court order?

Every person should do the same for their local and federal officials! If the person support them, offer thanks. If not, then **pile on***. You've suffered through (and most still do!) the lean times and... subsequently EARNED the right to savor the comeupance.

Perhaps one of the book's chapters can be titled "Ignored" and another "The Wrath"? Trust me, it will be annotated!!!!

On a similar note to your letter above, I gained some satisfaction in this...
Tried sending an e-mail to former NC Senator Dole only to have it bounce.

Oh, that's right... *she* got bounced.
I call that karma. Overlooked for months and then to receive a truncated 'spin' e-mail... Being overlooked at the polls seems a fitting outcome.

Like the Mickey D's commercials say... "Lovin' it."
