Jeffrey E. has informed Melanie SpineIla that he is done with the Brads and Barry, stating it is not a negotiation and wants out. He has given names in one instance and made a dictated choice between two preparers in another instance. Jeffrey also sent emails saying he takes no responsibility for Castrucci's hiring. Jeffrey E. will not interview, recommend or vet any new hire. He compares the situation to a friend of Trump's who kept telling pilots how to fly and hired morons as co-pilots based on cheapest rates. The friend's plane crashed into the side of Aspen Mountain, killing him and all on board, much like Jeffrey E.'s attempts to talk sense into Melanie SpineIla about her office decisions. Barry will need to sit with Brad for months to absorb the company's structures, cash flow, financial statements etc. Barry will also be presented with Jeffrey E.'s thoughts on a redo, which is the same as an email he presented two years ago. It emphasizes accurate numbers first and foremost. Jeffrey E. suggests discussing Giacometti and pesner on Tuesday if Melanie SpineIla would like to. He also warns about potential penalties for being considered a willful non-filer, especially after attorneys and PwC advised filing in writing.
