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."

Um, I thought his lawyer said there would be no more press releases (in the letter to Ron's lawyer Cos recently posted). Is it possible that this one was in the pipeline already and couldn't be reversed, or does the May 17th date imply that JonMon decided not to listen to his legal counsel in this regard?

Yeah, I was wondering if his releasing this invalidates the agreement between Ron's lawyer and his own?

I would hazard a guess that this more invalidates an agreement between Ishman and JonMon.

Clearly there have been quite a few "miscommunications" lately...

Maybe the purpose of this press release is to undo some of the damage from the previous one, since it reads like a correction: 1) Rickland isn't involved. 2) Ishman law isn't involved.

Yeah, except this PR wasn't framed as a correction a tall. The corrections were buried at the end, seemingly with the hope that most people wouldn't notice them. Yet another exhibit for the filing.

It's the passive-aggressive non-apology of press releases. "I'm sorry I hurt your feels."

And implicitly 3) Defend My Name isn't involved either.

slight correction: what cos posted on my behalf was not a "letter to Ron's lawyer". It was my own statement, summarizing what my lawyer said that Ishman told him. (My lawyer authorized me to post my statement.)

I can only imagine what the phone conversations between JonMon and his lawyer are like these days. I'll bet you cash $$ they contain a lot of variants of "You did what?" and "Okay, as your legal counsel, do not do this".

I'd also looooooove to know how many lawyers Johnny Monsarrat (hi googlers!) approached before he found one who'd even take this case.

He went to all the top UPS stores of the eastern seaboard, presumably. (His attorney's official mailing address is a mailbox at a UPS store.)

It's possible that the 2nd release was already effectively "in flight" at the time the lawyers reached their agreement about "no more press releases". It's still worth mocking, but I doubt it will make much of a difference in the case. Any future releases, though..
