Big Burke announcement

[Edd]

Well.. I haven't been able to book my campsite up at the mtns campground for our annual guys bike weekend/ bike trip up there yet. I've been trying to get through for weeks with no luck. Phone nor email. Ugh. I'm losing hope for summer operations by the minute.

This blows my mind.

From Lyndon State College News 7:
"DEVELOPING: Q Burke employees are back at work this morning after authorities spent yesterday afternoon searching offices, seizing computers, and changing locks. CEO Ary Quiros Jr. says he can't comment on the matter at this time, but has confirmed the investigation and the fact that employees had to be let into their offices this morning. He also says it's work as usual right now and that the truth will be known soon. Our crew at the scene will be monitoring the situation throughout the day."

Well, perhaps yesterday's action gave a local locksmith some business from the Q where he actually got paid........so there is that......

I think that counts for EB-5.

Interesting to see that Ariel Sr. and his wife have donated at least $32,000 to the Vermont Democratic Party in the past couple of years.
That's if this website is accurate:

Ariel's wife listed her occupation as Secretary of Quiros Family Farm.

More reason why that ass clown Shumlin needs to be called out if he appears at this press conference at crows about his law enforcement of these folks.

Just means I'll have to find another campground for mountain bikers in the area... which is ok, as Qballs' rates for the campground keep going up every year with no added services (besides the fact that they are the closest campground to the trails)

Oh, and we've been doing this for 11 years now.. Hard to change sometimes.

You're closer to the truth than you know in terms of the "jobs created" metric.

You gotta love a guy who has so many portable hard drives for his "work" computers.

Good eye; and in all seriousness, that is bizarre. He's working for a local ski bump, not sequencing genes for the National Human Genome Research Institute.

Its a pretty 20 minute drive up to brighton state park and that campground is everything i ever wanted in a campground.

Agreed, I have stayed there many a time.. but 10pm quiet hour for 15 guys is tough...

Well now, Jay Peak is getting the treatment too....

New management company is running both resorts this morning... WOW

 

[mbedle]

Steiger and Quiros now have no authority to conduct business at each resort.

So does this mean that Ary is out of a job?

 

[freeski]

Changing locks, new management, it must be the Feds and they already have something. Sounds like American Greed...Well, the press conference will be interesting. Up until now this has been local news; that changes today.

I would guess that he still has a job, just nothing to do at that job.

It is really odd to have that many external hard drives around unless you are dealing with loads of pics etc.

I ahdn;e large amounts of data mostly through network drives but most hard drives today can store years worth of data generated by a busniess as small as a ski resort.....heck the whole Q empire could fit their shit on single HD......of course maybe not the stuff they want to hide.

I have several portable drives, but they are primary and back ups for the thousands of photos I take (each RAW file is ~26MB).

I agree - outcome of this could be a lot worst than having the owners in place. Its not like there is a line of people looking to buy an underperforming ski resort.
