U-T Seeking to Rent Part of Headquarters Space
Is the U-T Library large? Does it have reference materials and books of historical significance worth saving? I assume the librarians were among the first to be let go.— July 2, 2009 7 p.m.
San Diego's Hotel Business among Nation's Worst
Tamara Rand was the woman who was shot in the head in the movie "Casino". She was murdered at her Mission Hills estate in San Diego.— June 30, 2009 10:32 p.m.
San Diego's Hotel Business among Nation's Worst
I didn't know Goodman defended Hedgecock in the J David scandal...wow, that's cool. ========== And if you don't know who Allen Glick and Tamara Rand are, you don't know Jack.— June 30, 2009 10:25 p.m.
San Diego Lead Indicators Rise for Second Month
The U-T has a searchable online database of all city employees and what they earn per year. There are 1,350 Police Officers holding the rank of Police Officer II earning an average salary of $92,000 per year. Pay for Police Officer II tops out at $148,500 per year. I searched the database for the salaries of the firefighters who filed the gay pride parade lawsuit, and they are raking it in.— June 28, 2009 9 p.m.
Generation Y Likes San Diego for Job Prospects
When Cheney was Secretary of Defense during the Persian Gulf War, he refused the Saudi Royal family's offer to pay the families of fallen US soldiers $1 million each for their sacrifice. Later, Cheney went to Halliburton and used his connections in Saudi Arabia to enrich Halliburton and himself. Cheney is a parasite who's never earned an honest dollar in his life and denied the families of fallen soldiers money that he later took himself.— June 12, 2009 8:44 a.m.
Posh W Hotel to Default, Go Back to Lenders
From the perspective of its lenders, Sunstone should change its name to "Pound Sand". REITs should not be allowed to borrow money or buy real estate with debt. REITs should raise money from investors and purchase real estate for cash, without using debt or leverage. I wonder how the Indians are faring with their purchase of the US Grant Hotel. They put millions into its renovation.— June 7, 2009 10:04 p.m.
Let’s Toast to Banning Booze
I wouldn't flush out the radiator in my car with Chateau Margaux, whatever that is.— June 5, 2009 6:18 p.m.
Countrywide's Ex-Chief Mozilo Charged with Fraud
Many news sources are reporting that Mozilo is under criminal investigation. Reuters is on top of this story with inside sources and is reporting that while Mozilo is under criminal investigation, investigators have found no evidence thus far that he committed crimes. A legal expert on one of the business channels said the Justice Department has 60 days to file criminal charges once the SEC brings a civil action against an executive. If no crimes have been identified thus far, and the Justice Department has only 60 days to file charges, I do not see how Mozilo will face criminal charges. I am not a lawyer, but I also do not see how criminal and civil charges could be pursued against Mozilo at the same time. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090602/us_nm/us_mozi…— June 5, 2009 12:51 p.m.
Countrywide's Ex-Chief Mozilo Charged with Fraud
It is my understanding that the SEC must suspend its investigation of Mozilo until the Justice Department makes a decision on whether to charge him with crimes. If the SEC requires Mozilo to provide records and testimony to investigators or in an administrative hearing, his right against self-incrimination would be violated and jeopardize any future criminal charges. Gary Aguirre would likley be able to describe what is going on behind the scenes.— June 4, 2009 10:44 p.m.
Countrywide's Ex-Chief Mozilo Charged with Fraud
John Moore's Peregrine stock sales were scheduled out in advance in an SEC filing two years before the first documented instance of fraud at Peregrine. He identified both the number of shares he would sell and the date he would sell the shares in the SEC filing. Because of this fact, it has been impossible to prove that his decision to sell his shares was based on insider information. I have followed this case closely because I lost money from the Peregrine fraud and have read several of the court filings. There is no evidence whatever that I have read that connects Moores to the Peregrine fraud. There are no E-Mails, no memos, nothing. He may well have been involved in the fraud, but there is no evidence of it.— June 4, 2009 10:26 p.m.
