Robele Career Solutions Lonnie Lauer of Robele Career Solutions Ripoff stole 6,000 dollars from my mastercard account When I originally met with him at Robele, he took this large deposit I was told today that Robele is no longer in business 55 Madison Ave Morristown New Jersey

I have been a successful businessman in the state of New Jersey for over 35 years.  I have been an executive of a Fortune 50 company, and an entrepreneur.  I have dealt with thousands of clients and customers, partners and vendors, employees and colleagues.  The fact that two people out of the thousands upon thousands who know me, had a problem with me, tells you more about them than it does about me.

Here are the facts:

Ten-plus years ago, I was hired by the owner of a career marketing firm to open and manage a NJ office for them.  I did that successfully for 6 years, about 80-90 clients per year, without a single complaint from any of our clients.  One day, the owner got deathly ill, and was rushed to the hospital in intensive care, where he eventually died.  When this happened, his wife closed the business under bankruptcy protection.  I found out that evening, after the lawyers had filed, when the wife called me to tell me what happened to her husband.  She told me to take my personal things from the office and leave the key.

I went into the office the next day, and called the 45 or so clients that were in the midst of their campaigns.  I gave them all the information I had.  Practically all of them thanked me for the call, and wished me luck.  Unfortunately, two of them accused me of ripping them off, even though I tried to explain that I was as much a victim as they were.  That I was not an owner, or officer, or shareholder.  Just an employee.  I just lost my job.  I didn't get my last paycheck.  (That can be verified that by checking with the Pennsylvania bankruptcy court for February, 2005, under Robele Career Solutions.  You'll see that the company listed me as a creditor, to the tune of $5500.)

So what you read is from an angry person whose only complaint was that we went out of business.  And they blamed me for a guy getting sick and dying.  In fact, some of the other stuff that was written was pretty bizarre ---- like claiming that the owner who got sick and died, actually started up a new business ----  while he was in the hospital! 

But thats the Internet.  Anybody can write anything they want, without substantiation or accountability.
