Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Sally W.):

Everyone must read the AG response that tonya420 so brilliantly advised us of on Aug 20. It's not full of legal jargon and is very easy to read. I can only say BRAVO Mr. Farooq (the Asst AG who's handling this case). This is just one of my favorite sentences from his brief to the court: "However, NYAG was concerned that Respondents were violating the spirit, if not the plain terms of the first three stipulations by paying consultants, in addition to employees, and reimbursing Respondent Lager for a $560 dinner, a $250 lunch, $281 for maintenance of a Porsche, and the $2,500 annual membership fee for his American Express Centurion Card bill." He also describes the expenditure of almost $400,000 illegally withdrawn from one of the frozen accounts to pay, among other things, health insurance for the Eichner family. Bottom line is, AG's office (via Mr. Farooq) is advising the judge not to release funds. After reading his reasoning, seems like she'll have to agree with him. Thanks Tonya!!
