An anonymous reader who goes by the tag 'user' has been sending e-mail messages to about 40 recipients in the media and securities industries critical of the failed financial advisory firm Allen Perkins.
Readers might recall the high-profile firm's fall from grace, including its departure from its Kowloon Tong mansion and the resignation of its motivational boss Elsa Pau.
Attempts to expand into publishing and coffee marketing failed and, well, things went from bad to worse.
Our informant tells us a group of former employees have started legal proceedings to wind up the company.
Apparently, Allen Perkins has been ordered by the Labour Tribunal to pay salaries it owes - the precise claim number is LBTC1046/2002 - but it hasn't. Nothing would surprise us about Allen Perkins, a company where the mysteries have long outnumbered the hard facts.
We asked 'user' what his own interest was in this bizarre episode.
