When I first heard of this, I thought that I had misunderstood what I had been told which is why I had not mentioned this before. Over the past few days, however, It seems what I have heard is true based on a complaint filed in the state of Texas.
Most of you might not realize is that Websleuths.com is a for profit corporation. It makes the bulk of its revenue by selling ad free subscriptions to the forum, and I understand that there are other income venues.
This is the filing made in Texas:
Websleuths lawsuit (1)
In reading the complaint I got the impression that Trica Griffith is accused to diverting Websleuths.com income to her personal finances. If this is true, I am surprised that she has not found herself in criminal court as this would be an accusation of Embezzlement.
Under Texas law, embezzlement is essentially employee theft.
Whether you work the register at a store in the mall or oversee the accounts of a large corporation, you are put in a position of trust to handle your employer’s money and goods. When an employer suspects you are taking advantage of this trust, they may investigate you.
If the allegations of financial theft are shown to be likely, you could face charges of embezzlement.
Technically, the charge of embezzlement involves the appropriation of property with the intent to defraud or deprive.
Hows the weather out west? Don’t brag too much, you’ll just make me homesick..
Found a great deal of data yesterday, the worst part is reading about the elderly couple that got milked so hard.. $600,000.00 worth.. Made me literally sick to my stomach..
Which now seeing this with Trica, all runs together. All of them are exactly the same. Doesn’t matter who they screw over.. people are victims waiting to be hit. And the description of birds that flock together.. Absolutely..
This breach of contract should cancel the partnership in the LLC. And since the LLC owns the website.. Only the judge knows for sure..
Is levi page still standing by Tricia? What about Marc Klaas?
I have no idea
MURT
I can tell you what was posted on websleuths back in 2009, a letter from Marc Klaas, and he was very direct and honest about his opinion of websleuths and Tricia and he was going his own way.. Now I have him on my facebook, and have talked with Marc before.. want me to ask him his opinion? As far as levi or his associates.. don’t know, don’t care.. Can tell you Levi has been on with Tricia since 2004.. that’s long term friends.. as well as others I know and know of..
