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."

My thoughts exactly. I devoutly hope Mr. Monsarrat will retain the services of a PR consultant who can help him find a way to live this down via associating his name with positive Google hits.

Really?? This seems totally backwards to me. I hope that either he a) learns from this, takes a big step back and reboots his life in such a way that eventually legitimate positive news takes the place of what's on Google now, or b) anyone looking him up immediately finds out about the lawsuit, his freaky letters, and his harassment of innocent people. He doesn't need a PR consultant; he needs a therapist.

Well, I wasn't going to comment on that, on account of I'm not qualified to judge other people's mental health or whether they should seek care for same. I'll go so far as to dust off the language I learned in grad school and assert that the person under discussion is presenting with behaviors which are consistent with the ability to benefit from a therapeutic situation.

(good heavens, that's exhausting.)

Regardless of whatever other actions he chooses to take, Mr. Monsarrat does have a PR problem. My hope that he takes reasonable action to resolve it (such as consulting an expert) is directly tied to my equally devout wish that he'll abandon the unreasonable (IMHO and only my O) actions he's currently taking.
