I told him I was pulling out of the project.
By then he knew I was so valuable to the operation, he
offered me an honest-to-God one million dollars to stay with
Seychelle. I refused. But then he made a monster mistake.
You see, DuSean Berkich was a pure-bred
sociopath. He had no compassion for other people whatsoever.
And without knowing how I would react to it, he screwed two
of my best friends in an exceptionally cruel fashion.
One of them was a girl I had met in Miami
Beach. Her name was Kari Cherine and I had gotten her a job
working with DuSean as a secretary. Then one day, just about
a week before Christmas he unceremoniously fired her for no
valid reason whatsoever. Truthfully I suspect the man was a
closet homosexual and that exceptionally beautiful women had
a tendency to enrage him.
Another of my best friends was one of the
guys who put this deal together. DuSean cut him out of any
part of the potential profits.
DuSean also screwed Carl Palmer the inventor
of the water cap.
So I went to the office one last time and I
told DuSean I wanted to have a private conversation with
him. What I told him is I was going to destroy both him and
his company and I was going to do it immediately and he
would never know how it happened.
Four days later, Seychelle Technologies
collapsed.
If you know much about investing, you know
when you are forming an IPO you go on a road trip to raise
start-up money. DuSean already had his road trip people in
Switzerland, France, all over Europe and the United States.
They had been sent there to talk with potential investors.
Guess what?
