\r\n \r\n I feel it is only right that I come on and say something...I no longer get on message forums because I have fallen out of the sport since I\'ve had my beautiful daughter...
\n
\n I do want to start off saying that none of this was right at all�and I am personally giving my apologies�If you want to hear it all this is what I can say�Everything from Start to finish�I don�t know how else to let any of you know without all of the details�
\n
\nI move back to Tampa, and continued my sales job and needed to start a new life as a single mother. I moved into a rental home, and after being at the home for a month I mentioned to the landlord that the magazine I was working for was folding and I had to find something new soon. He offered me a job at his company as a sales rep. So I checked it out and took it. After being with the company for about 3 months the owner had a great idea he wanted to share with me on a more personal side of things. He offered a deal that consist of putting on a huge motorcycle rally and I can own 50% of the company with no financial investment...After hearing the details and getting excited, I said YES as long as it would not interfere with raising my daughter as a single mother...
\n
\nI still continued working as a sales rep for the owner of GearFest and his other company. Money was never an issue for this man, and everything he ever told me became true...I did my part as an organizer of the show, working my @ss off to get vendors, sponsors, hiring sales reps, and layout of the show done. I did all of the ordering of product, taking care of the sales people\'s accounts, hiring the entertainment, and making sure their deposits were met. All checks and monies were handled by Mark, the owner. He set the company up with a P.O. Box and all checks were sent to him at that mailing address. I handled no money nor did I ever know what was in the account. I was not issued on the Bank Account at all. YES! I did ask to be just so that I could check the balances at times but he refused to give me access. So I had to continue to ask every time I ordered something or hired talent I would verbally call him and as if this dollar amount was ok? He would give me the go ahead. So in all honesty I never question the money situation� not one time???
\n
\n After talking to Scott from the Starboyz and asking them to be the HOST of the Stunt portion of GearFest they had many questions including funds. Scott and I ironed out the details for the most part but when it came time to discuss the money, Mark stepped in and agreed with the Starboyz on the amounts to be paid and deposits. He flew Scott down to Tampa to take an overview of things. Listen to Scott�s thoughts, and I believe Scott had a good time while he was here planning the event. Mark and Scott met that week and Scott verified dollar amounts, expenses, etc. At this time, Scott really had a better look at things and everything seemed justifiable.
\n
\n Finally after only 2 months from Showtime, Mark asked me to quit working for his company and he would pay me a small salary and just concentrate on GearFest. I told him that would be fine as long as I would have funds to make sure my daughter would be able to continue in Daycare and my house payment would be made. I don�t really have any other bills�So we agreed.
