To BKLYN8567 you mentioned you just found this chat area after Jeff died, and seem so passionate.  Did you know him or any of the "Chicago" people?  

For me, I admit I didn't know his name except as a name in a Playbill.  I feel so sad to know his name only because of this tragedy.  I hope if the facts are near to what's been conveyed, his survivors  get money, to potentially  set up a scholarship or anything they

HogansHero said: "@FJL2 Not sure where you got the idea anyone was talking about a criminal case: it's a far fetched notion.

It looks like the moderators had to delete one of my posts, so maybe some logic may have been lost, HogansHero.  

Yes, I agree with what you say quoted above, that I don't see anything that looks criminal in what I've seen so far.  I only mentioned that because it feels like people are thinking that no 

To Hoganshero, those are fascinating points.

I've always seen that if people have nothing to hide, they behave as if they have nothing to hide.  They don't wait until an investigation is done before saying what they already know.  They just say it.  

You may be thinking of a right to remain silent to avoid incriminating yourself.  Can anyone imagine criminal charges from what we've seen so far - I can;'t, but maybe I've missed somethi

My point is that the shaming process is clear:  Keep shaming, even escalate it, keep it going on, but once you find out it's not getting the "voluntary" leaving that is your goal - you can always get rid of the person then. (in my own personal situation, it's just a public accommodation rather than employment).

tag, I'm just saying the chocolate shop info likely doesn't make a difference.  Some people seem today to be treating that chocolate shop matter as something that cuts in favor of "Chicago" - that it means they have less responsibility.  They knew their purpose was to shame him into quitting, to specifically avoid paying $30,000 to $40,000 by shaming him into quitting rather than be fired.  I wouldn't think it's criminal at all

I'm not so sure the other factors like the chocolate shop cut in favor of the "Chicago" company.

Are we to believe the people at "Chicago" knew nothing about his partner having lost his income, and lots of all these factors mentioned?  Even if not that:  Are we to believe that no one in management knew they were taking away his and his partner's only source of income, whether they knew about the chocolate shop or not?

Alan Scott, I assume you've already thought of this - but If you have copies of your posts over the years, they'd probably make for a terrific book. They might need some editing here and there, which you could do yourself of course, but the
