:cashwalle :fingerboi Just won a small claims judgment against Bel-Red's owner Rich Little, and FINALLY got my money back. My stern advice to anyone reading this is: DON'T GO THERE!
Rich has no qualms about bald-faced lying. To a judge! So he'll do it to you too. But the judge didn't buy his lines of crap. No one with an ounce of sense would.
When cornered in an argument, and not in front of the judge, Rich resorted to insults: namely calling me a 'peon', which I found humorous, seeing as how I've owned my own business way longer than he has. Of course, when the judge asked "Rich, how long have you been in business", Rich couldn't just give a straight answer(2 1/2 years), but gave a Rich-typical evasive response "Quite a while, sir."
I can understand how driving a customized, albeit leased, 645ci could make one feel especially important, as could shouting at one's employees in front of one's customers. Especially someone who obviously has serious, deep issues as does Rich. Anyone who could lie through his teeth as casually as he does is not well in the head. Maybe it's the divorce. Maybe it's his mom doing the books, I don't know, don't really want to, and wish I hadn't had to know as much about this creepazoid as I do.
I came away from this whole episode regarding Rich as nothing more than a glorified 16 year old, who came into a lot of money, but spends it foolishly, and whose mommy takes care of things when they go bad.
