Jon Monsarrat brings “General Electric and Citigroup Power” to Expose Cyberbullies

Posted May 17th, 2012:

"Cambridge, MA ( prsync ) May 17, 2013 - Jon Monsarrat is bring the same consulting services to fight cybercrime that he has used to advise top executives from General Electric and Citigroup. Through previous consulting jobs, he helped executives at GE Trade put together an import / export offset program to help them make sales worldwide. And for Citigroup he worked to design for them an "active bank system". Now he is bringing that power to expose cyberbullies, with a twist: two new patented technologies. The previous press release "Jon Monsarrat, $160 Million DotCom Icon, to Expose 100 Cyberbullies" dated May 8, 2013, was sent out with incorrect information. First, due to a miscommunication when the press release was being written, the venture is not part of Monsarrat's Hard Data Factory, and Rickland Powel l is not a contact. Instead the service is part of Monsarrat Consulting, his private consulting practice, and does not involve Rickland Powell. Second, due to a separate miscommunication, the press release stated that the new venture launched with partnerships. That was in error. The new venture does not launch with any partnerships."

I went in to pick up shoes from the place in the plaza today. He said he's leaving this weekend for Armenia for at least a month, possibly more. So if any of you have shoes there, go rescue them.

Two New Businesses in Magoun Square!

[courtney o'keefe]

Hello Davis Square Friends,

I just wanted to let you know that King of Wings and Penny Packers are coming to Magoun Square this summer!

King of Wings is located at 514 Medford Street and Penny Packers is located at 514C (both spaces were the former location of Basil Tree Catering). I wasn't able to locate phone numbers for either.

King of Wings does have a Facebook Page featuring their menu and price range (maximum of $10), but their website isn't up yet. I thought I saw some people in there the other night, but am not sure. Their Facebook is WWW.Facebook.Com/Pages/King-of-Wings-Boston/259436317520437. Should this not work, a quick search brings them right up.

Penny Packers is starting some construction and will feature 10 seats when they open this summer. They have a Twitter account that you can follow: @PennyPackers and have two food trucks that they operate in Boston. Their website is http://www.pennypackersfoodtruck.com.

Magoun Square is only a hop, skip and a jump away from Davis and, once the Community Path Extension is finished, you can take it right up to Lowell Street and on to Magoun.

Bogus Lawsuit Plus Threats To Those Who Write About It Leads To Epic Response

btw, please let me know if my rate of posting is too high for this community. but this is an incredible article:

Reader Jason sent over a blog post that sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole, following the story through a variety of twists and turns. The key player in the story is Jonathan Monsarrat, who among other things founded the video game company Turbine (Asheron's Call, Lord of the Rings Online, Dungeons & Dragons Online, etc.). In early 2010, Monsarrat was arrested concerning events at a party in Massachusetts. The charges against him were later dismissed. However, there were various blog discussions among local bloggers and commenters. Not long ago, approximately three years after all of this happened, Monsarrat sued two named defendants and 100 "John Does" in a Massachusetts (not federal) court on a variety of charges, centering around defamation, but also including copyright infringement, commercial disparagement, deceptive trade practices and conspiracy. He's asking for an astounding $5.5 million.
