Steve Leflar, former owner of Star Sounds Productions, was found guilty of multiple lawsuits from ripping off various investors and vendors (musicians & DJs) in 2008. His employee, Eric Symons, would write the contracts, collect the money from the venues and book the work. The money was turned over to Leflar, who pocketed it, and didn't pay the musicians and DJs. When they complained of non-payment, they were ingored by both Symons and Leflar, then ultimately taken to court. Although the musicians won the judgement, Leflar and Symons never paid the debt.
Instead, they changed the name of their company to 'Simply The Best Entertainment' and continued doing business. Since Leflar now had a criminal reputation to hide, he made Eric Symons the 'owner' on paper and removed his own name off all paperwork. Symons plays along and advertises that he is and has been the owner of Simply The Best Entertainment since 2010.
In 2011, Steve Leflar was forced to testify under oath at a trial in Contra Costa County that he accepted a $75,000 investment from an investor in Star Sounds, and used the money (without the investor's knowledge) to open Simply The Best Entertainment -- in 2008. (Two years before Symons claims he started the company) Symons is a liar and is covering for Leflar. Symons really has no choice since Leflar still runs the company.
Ultimately, the investor was swindled out of his $75,000, as were several other investors and vendors to the tune of over $225,000.
A few of the music companies who provided vendors and were ripped off: Associated Entertainment Consultants of Burlingame, Allegra Events of San Francisco, Grapevine Music of Napa, Legendmakers Music of Concord, Sound Affair of Fairfield, Wine Country Entertainment of Napa, etc.
Steve Leflar and Eric Symons are dishonest and unethical people and I ask you to avoid them and Simply The Best Entertainment, and take your musical needs elsewhere.
Thank you,

Take a look at this It proves that you are an internet stalker and a liar. You clearly tried to mislead people by directing them to a child predator's website ( your partner's) and futhermore, it is clear from this court record that Thomas had nothing to do with you booking the band and then you and Steve stealing the money. You and Steve Leflar are internet stalkers and predators who prey on children and women. Nobody is fooled by your false accusations and constant lies.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
This is Internet Stalking

It is perfectly ridiculous to make a case that a former owner of Star Sounds owns my business. I know who the creep is who posted this. I have been in business as a sole owner for almost three years with a perfect record. This post shows no facts to support these outrageous claims!
I worked for the company that did rip-off musicians, and I was one of the musicians who lost money, $14k worth!
Go to www.northbaye.net . My company has no debt to artists at all!
And furthermore, the company did not even exist in 2008, and I started STB in 2010. It is all public record!
