I am the Public Defender Investigator for the Enotah Circuit. We have been appointed to represent defendant, Joshua Linskey who was employed by HLA as CFO back in March 2006. He was terminated and moved back to Ohio. Warrants for his arrest were taken out in Lumpkin Co. for 2 counts Financial Transaction Card fraud on 8/15/06. According to the warrants, he allegedly defrauded HLA on 3/28 and 4/18. The Dir. of Human Resources, David Reifenberger was the complaining party. The defendant say's the allegations are false. He was extradited here from Ohio and has been in the LC Jail since 9/22/06 on 10,000.00 bond which he cannot afford. He said that a person by the name of Jim Brock (sp?) would review finances with him. I need to know if anyone knows if this guy is still around. Also, defendant claims he was given a "verbal" ok to purchase furniture from Butler with the company credit card. He said that Len Bushelletto told him it was fine to buy it for the on-campus house he was living in per his employment contract. When he was terminated the furniture remained on site at the house but now the school allegedly believes a crime has occured when Linskey purchased the furniture on the company card. Anyone know anything about this furniture purchase or Linskey ? I would appreciate it.

Yes. Linsky was an employee of a company that systematically abused children and defrauded the parents of said children of millions of dollars. His employer is virtually an organized crime racket (currently being sued under racketeering laws) and it doesn't surprise me that this little criminal is now decrying his fate.
"Don't do the crime if you can't do the time..."
Good luck with that.

Josh, you should have given Lenny what he wanted. You would have avoided this whole mess.
"Hell hath no fury like a gay lover spurned..."

Todd, I'm fairly sure DJ will be by fairly soon to give you a real answer to your question, but I just want to jump in here:
Len Bushelletto
Dude. Seriously. If you're really working for Josh's lawyer then Len Buccellato should be one of your biggest concerns. If you can't even remotely spell his name, Josh is fucked. Not that he doesn't deserve it, being affiliated with HLA and all.
And I'm laughing at the fact that someone who used to do Len's finances is in need of a Public Defender.
Eh, he probably won't have to worry too much anyway. Defrauding HLA is like stealing Kim Jong-il's silverware. And that's if he actually did anything- odds are, Len is just trying desperately to shift blame. Len's about as trustworthy as a hungry pit viper, and anything that comes from "the school" ultimately comes from him. Present evidence of that in court and you'll end up creating way more than the "reasonable" doubt needed to get your client off. (this is just a suggestion; IANAL)

Who's Jim Brock? Is Butler a furniture store or individual? Was this the person who allegedly got a DWI or DUI in Dahlonega?
-
Jim Brock is HLA's "accountant":

josh linskey is a crook and a drunk who didn't give any regard to the community that he chose to drive drunk in...he did steal thousands of dollars (not that it matters much they are all crooks) and was about a coherent as a brick wall! Don't bring jim into it, he did nothing but what josh, jim's boss, told him to do! he is trying to pass the buck he has no one to blame but himself...he has a serious substance dependancy problem and should probably get some professional help while he is in the tank!
-
He bought 2 very expensive Chevy Surburbans...

He bought 2 very expensive Chevy Surburbans...
With whose money? Bucci's? HLA's? Chapel Fund?
-
Who knows? I don't... All the money is either stolen or extorted off poor parents of teens that have emotional and substance abuse issues. We really don't know where the money comes from.
-
Were the Suburbans for HLA's use?

OK, fellas. Let's get poor Josh out of the klink (there will be some conditions). Can one of the PD guys please drop me a PM?
I'll put you together with the people who can provide exculpatory evidence for Josh (I'm just the intermediary so don't try to flex on me and tell me you're going to treat me like a material witness, as I have no direct knowledge, I just know the people who do - so don't screw around). As much as I don't care that HLA employee is in a bad spot, I don't approve of the way the legal system works where people get railroaded by more powerful people.
And I suspect it's going to come down to someone else being charged for filing a false complaint, based on the stories I have heard. Not sure about that, but I bet Josh has a dandy of a tort case anyway.
-
There was a rumor going around that Bucci was trying to "court" Josh and that's why he was hired to work at HLA - any truth to the rumor?
It was also rumored that Josh was paid off because of (unwanted) sexual advances by Bucci - anyone know anything about that rumor?
-
Money, corruption, and homosexual harrassment.
Nothing like a good scandal for entertainment.
Popcorn anyone?
-
i know that any time i saw len go into josh's office or be anywhere around him, he was like a little school boy with a crush...and the con man that josh was...took FULL advantage of it!!

i have heard both, yes.

It seemed plausable. It is such a disgusting image, most of us choose to put it in the back of our minds and try to forget it.

Sounds like they would have made the perfect couple.

I spoke to the PD office this morning. The investigator is a really good guy who smells something rotten here. His nose isn't lying.
Should it come out that a police report was filed falsely (and I believe this is so), someone is most likely going to get arrested for it and charged with a pretty serious crime, maybe the career-ending type.
Dave, you pulled the trigger, so you're on the hook. If you were directed to lodge this criminal complaint by someone else, you had better come forward right away with that information or you're going to take the hit.
Anyone else having information about this case should come forward straight away to clear it up. Right now (as much as I really don't care) we have a guy falsely imprisoned for a significant amount of time, large costs associated with his extradition from Ohio, and what appears to a false police report behind it all. Having someone unlawfully imprisoned is a felony, Dave, and it's hanging squarely around your neck like a millstone.
So, Dave, if you want to set things right, you can start by contacting the Public Defender's office and coming clean with the real story. If you don't, you're pushing all your chips into the center of the table on some very bad cards, sir.
It's up to you: Sing or Swing.
Again, it wouldn't bother me in the least to see you swing, but I know you didn't do this of your own accord and this guy (however dispicable he may be personally) is sitting in the cooler for no reason and will likely press charges against you and sue the ever-loving hell out of you , too.
Good luck. The investigators are already contacting the people who will be blowing holes through your story, so no sense sticking to your guns at this point...
-
Man, this is getting nasty. Do you think we will see some folks at HLA actually do time over all of this?

Well, this false imprisonment thing is a HUGE criminal deal. If it turns out that a false police report was filed, you will see criminal charges. Whether this will be enough to land otherwise unblemished (legally) people in the can, I cannot say.
However, it is a very, very serious matter that now involves justice departments in two states and a lengthy jail stay under false pretenses. It's serious as a heart attack.
-
Any guesses on what Josh knows? After all, he was intimate with the finances.
-
Maybe he could explain about Cricklewood or the Chapel Funds.
-
he was not there long enough to know any of the "dirt" he was to busy scamming off petty cash funds and buying things off the credit cards! he really is a con artist and one of the reasons that i feel karma really exhists!!! here ya go, len...this is only one of the things you will sow...there will be many more, i can assure you!

He may not "know the dirt" but he may have taken records with him that we can review. Ya never know. More than one employee has farmed documents from HLA and made them available to DHR and to the lawyers for the class ation law suit...
-
no, i really don't think so...only because he left so much stuff there...including a book/journal where he told that he stole someone's credit card (not from hla) and went to vegas!! so this wouldn't be the first time he did something like this...
he really is a scum bag...regardless of whatever happens at hla...josh is a petty thief who was given carte blanch to the finances from buche in the hopes that he (buche) would get some play!!! and all he got was played!!!! heheheheheheh!!!!
-
and how would you know that?
-
Maybe it's just me but isn't ten thousand dollars bail a bit extreme for these allegations? And was this dude such a threat that he had to be extradited from another state? Something really stinks here if you want my two cents.
-
I thought the same. Waiting for further details.
-
I spoke with the public defender's office. Their investigator is almost 100% convinced that the charges are false. He's getting statements from people who were present when Josh was given the OK to make the purchases.
You see, the guy's boss wanted to have a homosexual tryst with this guy, so he made him into a "kept man" by giving him a house on campus so the boss could have easy access to his potential lover. When this went sour, the boss punished him by having him arrested under false pretenses.
At least one person, if not more, are most likely going to be charged with a crime for doing this, and it's a felony. If the boss gets sent to the klink, he'll get all the ass-pounding he ever wanted...and then some. :wink:
-
Let me guess. Judge Stone signed the extradition order right?

Good question.

who is judge stone?
its amazing how corrupt and evil .....
-
Whatever happened to this guy? Is he still locked up?
-
good question...i was wondering that myself just a couple of days ago.
-
If someone is to be prosecuted for mishandling of funds, why isn't it Bill Grey? He "enron's" the documents in the office and leaves. Suddenly HLA can't pay the bills

i saw bill gray jr at home depot in dawsonville 3weeks ago.

Filing a false police report
Giving false statments
Unlawful Arrest
Unlawful Extradition
Unlawful Imprisionment
etc. etc.
This is going to snowball on David, Len, Jeff, along with LC Sheriff Mark McClure, the LC DA, and Quirk and Quirk.
Whatever happened to Quirk and Quirk? I haven't heard from them. I guess Len couldn't pay them? How did that relationship end?
Berger and Montague would eat them a live anyhow.
-
JML- Welcome to our world. Lies, lies, and more lies.
Don't know if/how the relationship with Q&Q ended. Most likely Bucci's insurance kicked in to pay his legal fees for his new attorneys.
-
Well his new attorney's will be hearing from me very soon.
Sexual Harassment- Len B.
Unlawful Police Report-David R.
Unlawful Arrest-LCSO
Breach of Contract-HLA
.....Just for starters
Best of luck to all of the dedicated people reporting the facts and horrible truth concerning the corrupt, immoral, and unethical acts of Hidden Lake Academy and Buccellatto.
The cause of this forum is noble.
-
There were rumors that Buccellato settled other sexual harrassment claims out of court. I'd like to find out if that's true or not. You might want to as well...
(Not to lecture, but please don't drink and drive.)
-
There are many people that you can subpeona that will assist you in proving your case.
We all Know that David and Jeff simply do what Len Tells them and do not question this. It was a calculated move to have David sign the statement for LCSO and not Len.
Other information, Len gave certain staff direct orders to search your residence when you were away looking through all of your private documents to see what was there and I believe that this person assigned to do it, IS NOT loyal to len since they are no longer employeed there. That is what you risk when you wipe out a WHOLE department.
We can help you
-
Hmmmmmm... This is going to be interesting.
I originally responded to the public defender's office and they told me directly that they were sure these were false charges and that charges would be pressed against the initiator. At that time I predicted Len would allow Dave to take the hit. Looks like that's going to happen.
It's time for Dave to flip on Len to save his own ass. Knowingly filing a false report to use law enforcement as aproxy to punish another is a very serious offense. In my state it's a felony and I assume it is in Georgia as well. All Dave need do is tell the truth if he was directed or ordered to file the report and the rest will take care of itself.
Now, for those of you who are considering engaging the services of HLA, just look at what they will do to one another for "revenge" or to avoid the consequences of their actions (the height of hypocrisy, BTW). Ask yourself "Are these criminals the people who I want to 'raise' my kid in loco parentis?" If the answer is "yes," then you don't even deserve to have children.

Will there be criminal charges pressed, or are you seeking solely civil redress?
This is a crime and is punishable under penal law.
I would really like to see HLA staff be held accountable for their unlawful actions and see "consequences" for their behavior. Seriously, this is a really, really low form of scumbaggery to perpetrate against someone...
Also, when you get back, I'd like to discuss some things with you about the inner workings of HLA's financial mechanisms. Would you be willing to be deposed or to testify for the class action lawsuit concerning fraud?
Please PM me when you have time. It will be an interesting discourse.

What was Len hoping to find?

oh please, skippy, you act like you were so wronged...you were an arsehole to everyone around you, and you were either absent or so drunk/stoned the entire what, 2 months that you actually worked there and your office was SUCH A FRIGGEN MESS that i really can't image that you have or remember much if any of the financial workings...you were to busy "running to town"...
and by the way...those 2 nights you came to the campus drunk off you arse and "fired" gary...they were definatly worthy of "employee of the month"...what a jerk...
but i know that "you will not apologize for not being available"...what an arsehole!
while i hope that hla gets all that they rightfully deserve...i know, for a fact, that you are a thief...and that at least SOME of the evidance of embezelment are for a fact true and that they have the paperwork on them...now, i am sure that they have embellished some of what they have...but trust me, i KNOW that some of it is valid...
so get your head out of you arse and don't try to come on here as the "victim"...leave that for the true survivors...you were just a petty thief with a drug/alcohol problem that got to greedy and got busted! and again thankfully never hurt/killed anyone during your drunken nights driving up the winding roads of camp washega...
give it up, skippy, you may fool some of the folks...but once you start to talk to dj...he is smart enough to realize what a snake oil salesman you actually are...and kick you to the curb, but thats okay, monster.com is still available...that IS how you got the job at hla isn't it...and then poseing as someone interested in what Len had to offer didn't hurt you in getting the keys to the farm...which was a really dumb move on len's part, but he has been left to let his d*ck lead him...and you were more than happy to grab on and take lead...

Eyes on the prize, guys.... All of this may be true, and then some... but, keep your eyes on the prize.

what prize are we supposed to keep our eyes on?

What do you know about this case? Has this Josh guy in court as we speak going after len? where is he now?

The bigger question is what ever happened to Dysfunction Junction? Was he put under a "gag" order as well?
