Advocates Professional Services, Ken Ampel and Bruce Klein worked for my company and they stole our backup software tape with client listings. In addition they went around the US on our air fare payments and announced to prospective clients that they were going into business. The backup tape they stole contained hundreds of thousands of dollars in software and business secrets. They also used templates and documents they stole. Rockville Centre New York

Ken Ampel, a disgraced disbarred attorney came to me with tears in his eyes begging to be given a chance at working with my company in New York City. We developed a concept of collecting money for law firms and were one of two companies doing this at that time. His crony and partner in crime, Bruce Klein told me that until he met me he would sit and stare at his computer screen not knowing what to do.

After Klein came to work for us he began coming in at 11AM or whenever he felt like it. He was terminated three times and took advantage of the sour relationship I had with my partner at that time so that my partner brought him back in. Klein and Ampel helped destroy a business I had built over many years by taking advantage of the situation and demanding exorbitant commissions (particularly Klein) of up to 30% plus over $800 per week in salary.

They stole a backup tape with all our business secrets as well as client listings, software systems with proprietary data. They decimated our business in a cold calculating manner and abused the trust we placed in them. They also used our software agreements and other material to fraudulently change the pages to reflect their company information and approached hospitals and other prospective clients to get business from them for their new company while on our payroll.

Klein was coming in late daily so that he could approach businesses seeking accounts while we paid him handsomely for his efforts. Ampel and Klein (who was disbarred for stealing $250,000 from a non-compos mentis [mental incompetent] elderly woman) were in cahoots and worked incessantly to destroy the business I personally built and toiled to keep up. They destroyed our company and now enjoy the benefits of the business we invented. Most of the clients they have posted on their site were ours to begin with. They were asked to pay for the material they stole and refused to even discuss the matter.

S. Bruce Klein - Catatonic stared at his computer until he came to us!

AUTHOR: Richard - Rego Park (U.S.A.)

S. Bruce Klein told me he was stupefied by his lack of business activities. This after he broke up with his partner (who could not stop ranting about what a degenerate Klein is) and opened an office in Manhattan.

He came to us for a job as a collector, then as time went on he began to disappear and showed up mornings after 11:00. When we moved our offices to Great Neck I scoured the Unix system we used and saw the level of pernicious thievery Klein and Ampel perpetrated.

They were sending Klein to Hospitals and other institutions to announce that they were opening up their own business while we were paying the thief for time he refused to work. When I fired him three times, my ex-partner (whom I am told was paid in cash by Klein and Ampel by a friend of the ex-partner) brought him back time and again.

The ex-partner a Burton Bessen had a criminal record and came to me via my then wife who begged me to help him get a decent opportunity. Not only did I do that for the bum but I also offered him a partnership on a pay as you go basis to give him a life. For this he stabbed me in the back siding with the thieves (as stated above Ampel stole 250,000 from a mental incompetent elderly woman) which eventually destroyed our business since they stole our software programs and installed them on their computers at the office they occupy in Rockville Centre.

Be careful whom you trust and whom you help because at the end of the day people are basically looking to get something for nothing.

APS Says... If you can steal the cow why buy it? S. Bruce Klein & Kenneth Ampel - Thieves

AUTHOR: Richard - Rego Park (U.S.A.)

The story of what these two degenerates did has been noted above. We posted this just to make sure it gets visibility on the Web because we could not find it on Google and it is a story that needs to be told. Soon we will do videos on YouTube of the reports we filed against evil doers.

These two hired a software specialist, another crook on Long Island to mount the Unix system I slept on the floor to compile. The database we paid over ten thousand dollars to modify over years of work, the data in that database, the clients lists and all they were trusted with.

The only thing that saves the day is the knowledge that what you do in this world rings for eternity.
