Emails Show Snapdragon Deal Left Key Financial Official in the Dark
9.What happened to City Hall's refusal to deal with The Reader? Did Matt Potter send cupcakes over there? Where is the record of the Reader's thank-you note for this windfall of public information about how business is really done in San Diego? ======= Under the California Public Records Act Tubby Sanders is required to provide this information to the Reader. He could be taken to court and fined and held in contempt if he refuses to comply with the Readers'request.— February 2, 2012 9:32 p.m.
Emails Show Snapdragon Deal Left Key Financial Official in the Dark
The Unites States is a nation of laws, not of men or women. The fact that Mayor Sanders willfully and knowingly violated a law is a very big deal.— February 2, 2012 9:27 p.m.
Broker Banned for Churning Teenager's Account
If Evans took $128,000 from his client's account without authorization to pay his bills, then the DA should look into the matter to see if there was a defalcation. If Evans is innocent he should welcome the opportunity to talk to DA investigators and clear his name.— January 31, 2012 9:37 p.m.
Former SD Lawyer Charged with Stashing Funds Offshore
And I also hope that if Christopher Rusch and his cohorts are in fact guilty and sentenced to prison, that they be gang raped by the other prisoners. They should get what's coming to them in spades.— January 30, 2012 9:51 p.m.
Former SD Lawyer Charged with Stashing Funds Offshore
I don't approve of offshore tax avoidance either. Voters should be aware that Congress enacted the laws that enable Mitt Romney, Gerald Parsky and many other wealthy speculators to dodge their taxes while placing the full burden of supporting the government on the rest of us. Then the wealthly turn around and claim they are being taxed to death. We can see from Mitt's tax returns that he paid $3 million in tax on $22 million in income. This is truly pathetic. Romney and his ilk are writing the rules for themselves through their control of Congress and screwing the rest of us.— January 30, 2012 9:50 p.m.
Former SD Lawyer Charged with Stashing Funds Offshore
Offshore accounts are legal, as long as you disclose the existence of the account on your tax filing. For example, Don could organize a corporation in the Cayman Islands or the Netherland Antilles which he would own. He could transfer $1 million to the corporation and start trading stocks. U.S. tax law states that foreign corporations owned by U.S. citizens are not taxed on capital gains earned in the U.S. Don could make as much money as he wants trading stocks through his offshore corporation and he would not owe a penny of U.S. tax. Don would only pay U.S. tax if he took money out of the corporation. He would pay the 15% dividend tax on any funds he removed from the corporation, to the extent the corporation had profits. This is legal. Congress set it up this way.— January 30, 2012 7:20 p.m.
Gambling Addicts Aren't Necessarily Smoking Addicts
Skimming is rampant among executives at public corporations. Many executives take kickbacks from Chinese vendors who manufacture their employer's products. The Chinese always offer kickbacks as a courtesy. The Chinese also provide exotic women to executives who travel to China on company business.— January 27, 2012 10:05 p.m.
Carlsbad Attorney Admits Taking Clients’ Funds for Personal Use
I don't think Dumanis was trying to protect Gregory. I suspect Gregory blew the money gambling in Indian casinos. The Indians probably pressured Dumanis to leave Gregory alone because they didn't want the negative publicity. Dumanis only moved against Gregory when the public became fully aware of Gregory's theft and she was forced to act.— January 26, 2012 11:02 p.m.
Save Our Heritage Wins Battle: Plaza de Panama Plan
Putting the Jacobs name on a garden variety downtown library certainly isn't going to do it for him. A man with his ego would want something world class.— January 23, 2012 10:10 p.m.
Save Our Heritage Wins Battle: Plaza de Panama Plan
In my opinion, Jacobs wants to build the parking lot as a first step toward constructing a large art museum in the center of the park as a monument to himself when he expires. The parking lot he intends to build appears to be part of the foundation for his art museum. Once Jacobs builds the parking lot it will be difficult to stop construction of his museum. I believe that he intends to turn Balboa Park into a monument to himself, much like the Pharoahs who built pyramids in ancient Egypt.— January 23, 2012 8:12 p.m.
