The following are conversations via Emails. Please read.
This Company had no intensions of paying me my Sales Commissions. To top it all off, they cheated every employee and customer that they could.


(Ed , CEO and Investor. Paragon Industies Inc).

What do I need to prove my case to you?
Obvious Ed Holmes has lied again.
Ed Holmes famous words, Trust ME, My word is my Bond. I'll take care of you. You' will get your money, just get me the business.

I don't understand why MSI is not paying me my sales commission. I am trying very hard to understand. I would not invested my time and personal money into securing business for MSI if I was not going to get commissions or bonuses.

Bottom Line:

Ed, after you had your stroke and Ed Holmes took over as President and CEO, he and Lee Arrowood asked me to secure new business for MSI, which I did in good faith. I attended sales meeting in Vero on several occasions at your request.

I had business cards as Sales/Program Manager. The team and sales members knew I was working in a sales position. You had an organizational chart that showed ME as a Sales/Program Manager.
Customers and employees knew I was working as a sales manager.

WHAT PROOF DO YOU NEED?!!!! Verbal Contracts!!!!!

I do have a binding contract, which I signed and dated. This is a Non-Compet Contract, Ed Holmes had everyone signed. It has my position as Sales/Program Manager. There is no disclosure of commission in it, but it states I can't work as Sales/Program Manager in any CEM or OEM plants. You can check in the Human Resource's files. I do have my copy.

I believed and trusted in MSI. I was willing to do anything and everything to make MSI a successful company. I spent my money for business expenses, which I was never re-inbusted.

Ed Holmes and Lee Arrowood changed my position for Purchasing Manager to Materials Manager, then to Sales/Program Manager.
I wasn't asked to signed a new contract for each of these positions.
As I stated before, I ACTED IN GOOD FAITH. I trusted MSI and it's Owners.

Ed, Please, understand I am only asking what is due me.
I would rather not enlist legal counsel, but I will if we can't resolve this matter.
I am not going to down without a fight.

Thanks
Danny

NEXT EMAIL-------------------------------------------
ED K.

When will I receive my sales commission check from MSI? I know I am due at least $15,000.00 for invoiced sales. My agreement with MSI was 1% commission on all sales I booked. I would like very much to be paid.
I know Ed Homes has lied to you in the past. However, Ed H knows if I had not secured Schwartz Electro-Optics and a few other companies, MSI would of close it's door in March of 2002.
I feel I have been more than patient with this situation.
If we can't resolve this issue, then I will have no recourse, but seek legal counsel and perused this matter in court.
I hope you understand, business is business, and friendship is friendship, but money is money and MSI owes me my sales commission.
I do have the necessary papers as well as the individuals (past and present)to substrate my claims.

Please advise when my check is ready.

Thanks
Danny

Ed,

Please. understand I do have a lot of information personal and private. I will use it if I have too.

I would like my sales commission as agreed upon per my agreement with Ed Holmes. I was told I would receive 1% of all invoiced sales.

I would like my sales commissions.

Thank you

Danny

Dan,

I am happy to hear that you are OK.
I also look forward to seeing you if you stop by this area. Just call me at the office or on my cell.

Based upon the records that I have reviewed and my communication with appropriate employees, the company has never entered into any type of commission arrangement with you.

Please send me any information that you may have. I look forward to seeing you when you are in this area.

Dan,

I do not understand what you want me to do at this time. I will honor each and every obligation that exists but I have to have written proof that the arrangement for a commission was in existance.

Please fax or email me the documentation that exists to so that you were entitled to a commission on bookings or sales.

If there is any assistance that I can provide let me know.

Thanks,

Ed

This is my responsed to his emails:


Ed Klinsport,

I received my filing number from EEOC today, which stated, I have permission to contact US Department of Labor. Claim # 150-2003-03917N, Signed by Senior Investigator Jerald Mc Daniel.

I will be forwarding the Claim Number as well as the information needed to substain my claim to my attorneys and the Department of Labor and Waged. I would hope MSI would come clean and pay me my commissions, before all pays and back-pays are leveled.

Again I very sorry, but business is business and truth is the truth. I wished we could work this out, however, Ed Holmes wants to tells lies and misuse people, then he should pay for his lies.

Ed, I wished you really knew the real truth. I can and will spell it out to the Department of Labor and Waged.

Just a little insight about MSI of Central Florida:
1. Ed Holmes salary. employees on payroll, but never worked a day at MSI. Health First Ins.

2. Company Expenses, i.e. Vehicles, Homes, Personal Expenses, Cooking the Books.
3. Hours worked by employees and not paid. Layoffs, lying to them ect.....
5. Past Employees, Vacation Time, Salaries, Commissions, and properties.
6. Salary Reductions, ie employees.vs staff.
7. Defer Compensation, vacation time not paid........
8. Bank Accounts- One million dollars in banks per Ed Holmes, Ed Klinsport. Lying to investors.....
9. Investors, not knowing the truth, Cooking the inventory and sales,
10.Disposal Cell phones and agreements
11.Mandatory work hours for salaries and hourly and was not paid for them.....

I can keep going with with past employees and lies that were told. Un-payed business expenses. unpaid hourly and salary wages.

Ed, All I want is my Sale Commissions owned me. $15,000.00 Plus.
If MSI decides not to pay me my sales commission, then I will proceed with filing with the Department of Labor on Monday.
Please, Remember, THIS IS NOT A THREAT, My attorneys are ready for a court battle. They want your monies.

I will be asking the judge to ordered MSI and its owners to pay all legal expenses.

Regards


This company will rape you. I would like to tell everyone as a former staff manager, I would not do business with company.
Its owners are snakes in the grass, waiting to take every penny you made.
