I"ve worked for SBT. for a couple years and I feel like I am stuck in the middle of a real bad elemetary school playground fight!
Jerry:
Some say that there is no actual SBT - that it was just a sham to get the state funding, and now it's just a way to bankrupt Elite so it doesn't have to pay all the franchisees it owes refunds.
Is SBT is a real company? Who is Alvin Handshoe? Does he have a manufacturing or construction background?
I'm a little confused. The impression I got from reading the press release about SBT was that they were a new company as of the end of 2007. Did they already exist? If so, what kind of products did they produce?
Regardless - I finally got on the bandwagon and filed a complaint with the AG's office in Florida. I'm hoping to get some sort of response from them soon. If you already filed with them, did you get a response?
The diect number to the Florida Attorney General's office is 904-348-2720. To file a formal complaint send your supporting documents to:
Office of Statewide Prosecution
100 Riverplace Blvd., Suite 405
Jacksonville, FL 32207
