HP is an incredibly generous company. To think I only started last September 1, but I was still able to receive my first paycheck yesterday (they normally give it out once a month on the 10th, but September 10 is a Sunday). Mind you, I didn't get a prorated amount; I got a full month's salary for the mere six working days I've worked! I got mine in the form of a manager's check since my payroll account wasn't opened in time but still, I'm impressed at their promptness in making sure their employees are happily compensated.

Ahh, paydays... it's been a while since my last one. I sure missed them.

    ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS


    COURT ENTERS DEFAULT JUDGMENT AGAINST SEC DEFENDANT ROBERT WACHTEL AND ORDERS
    HIM TO PAY OVER $16 MILLION

    The Commission announced that on September 15 a Rhode Island federal
    court entered a default judgment against Robert M. Wachtel, a defendant
    in an action filed by the Commission in April 2002. The Commission
    alleged in its complaint that Wachtel and others participated in a
    fraudulent offering scheme that raised at least $52 million from
    investors. In the default judgment, the Court permanently enjoined
    Wachtel from future violations of the antifraud provisions of the
    federal securities laws and ordered him to pay approximately $16.6
    million in disgorgement, interest and a penalty.

    The Commission filed its action against Wachtel and eight other
    defendants and a relief defendant on April 1, 2002, alleging that
    Wachtel and others participated in a scheme that made fraudulent
    representations to investors about a purported high yield trading
    program. According to the Commissionís complaint, the scheme raised
    approximately $52.75 million from six investors, and was perpetrated by
    Wachtel and others through entities formerly known as Brite Business
    S.A. and Brite Business Corporation. The Commission alleged that
    Wachtel, who held himself out as the U.S. representative of Brite
    Business, solicited one investor to invest $12.5 million and made
    misrepresentations to this investor that the rate of return on the
    investment could be 10% per week. The Commissionís complaint alleges
    that as a result of the misconduct of Wachtel and others, that
    investorsí $12.5 million investment was misappropriated. The
    Commissionís complaint further alleges that Wachtel received
    approximately $155,000 in Brite Business investor funds.

    The Courtís final judgment enjoins Wachtel from future violations of
    Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the
    Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, orders him to
    pay disgorgement in the amount of $12,500,000, plus prejudgment interest
    in the amount of $4,027,418.32, for a total amount of $16,527,418.32,
    and assesses a $100,000 civil monetary penalty against him.

    Sorry to hear about your experience at e-commerce percs and robert wachtel. Just found an interesting blog site about wachtel's folly at http://robert-wachtel.blogspot.com. I doubt if he really wrote it. Could've been written by some disgruntled insider. Nevertheless, it's an eye-opener and confirms all that stuff about him on the internet. Good you have a new, better job. Just move forward with your life.
