Shlogging Along

My states Attorney General Consumer Fraud division has assigned me a mediator who has written to TM asking them to refund my money. I am trying to be hopeful.

I've been emailing back and forth with the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility. They seem interested, however, I can hear the wheels of the bureaucracy turning as I read each message. They seem like they'd like to help but TM is a slippery business.

I got a form letter back from the TX Attorney General's Office. If they are doing anything about his they can't share the details.

I read over at enormous incongruities that there is a reporter interested in doing an expose on TM. I so hope the world of hurt they've put on other people blows back on them.

Here's what I'm up to next:

The head honcho at TM is Patrick Cox. I'll be writing to the TX State Board of Public Accountancy.
