Does Character Matter, Part 2 of 2

DEPLETION

Priority One Credit Union's Financial Performance Report for the quarter ending on September 30, 2015 is now available at www.ncua.gov and in spite of the President's insistence, business isn't improving.

Late last year President Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. somberly stated that "people don't understand the reason I closed branches is to make profit." He of course never took the time to explain how closing branches which eliminates convenience serves to generate profit. 

2008, 2009, and 2010 ended in the negative for the once prosperous credit union and in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and in 2014, the President was forced to close branches to ensure net capital remained well above 6% so that the credit union could remain in open and in business. Despite the losses and it's continuing financial struggles, the President has been awarded annual raises all approved by the Board of Directors and it's Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks. 

We know of no other credit union whose President has caused losses amounting in the millions of dollars, who has been found guilty of sexual harassment and who has provoked the filing of more than seven lawsuits since 2010, who remains employed and is granted annual wage increases. 

What's more, since 2009, the credit union has had a salary freeze in place that only affects the salaries of non-exempt personnel. As we've often reported, often brutal cut-backs implemented by President Wiggington specifically target employee salaries and benefits and never affect the salaries paid to the executive sector.  


REWARDING INCOMPETENCE

So much how much is the credit union industry's most embarrassing President being paid? As we've done every year since 2010, we are again publishing excerpts from the credit union's most recent Form 990 Form IRS filing. The latest form is for the year 2013 and provides insight into the practices of the Board of Directors who under it's Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks, has evidently established a policy for rewarding incompetence and over the past eight years, used credit union funds like their own personal piggy bank. Here are the excerpts from the latest filing:   

Form 990 IRS Filing







In 2013, now former Vice President of Project Management, Yvonne Boutte, was paid $91,538. Mrs. Boutte was a polarizing presence and during her years of employment, was abusive to staff, was an instigator and vicious gossip, and frequently slandered employees and other officers. In 2012, she provoked a member who filed a lawsuit against the credit union accusing the credit union of publishing confidential information about her credit union automobile loan and her person. Because of the nature of the disclosures, the information could only have been published by either Mrs. Boutte or one of her staff in the Credit Resolutions Department. Evidently, her abhorrent behaviors and lackluster performance were inconsequential to the Board who authorized that she be paid in excess of $90,000 a year. Can anyone name one thing Mrs. Boutte did during her seven (7) year stay that resolved some of the problems created by the President and resulted in increased business? 


Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. was paid $164,484 in 2013 even though he has caused losses of net income in excess of $20 million since being appointed President on January 1, 2007. His horrendous personal behaviors including having been found guilty of sexually harassing a former employee speak as much to his character as they do to the egregious proclivities of the entire Board. 

AVP, Patricia Loiacano, was paid $91,565 in 2013. Though actually knowledgeable about real estate and consumer loan processes, she will go along with abuses perpetrated by the management sector. In 2007, she was informed by a Loan Processor that the DMV Specialist had obtained permission from the AVP of Lending, Aaron Cavazos, to forge member signatures on Power of Attorney forms where loan processors had failed to obtain signatures while funding automobile loans. At the time, Mrs. Loiacano replied, "There's nothing I can do because it came from Aaron." In 2010, she was appointed AVP of Compliance by Beatrice Walker.  

Saeid Raad, the former CFO, was terminated in 2013 but before leaving, was paid $150,451. It was while Mr. Raad was CFO that more than $1 million in cash were stolen from the Los Angeles branch. We wonder if his departure is related to the discovery of the theft? 

Executive Vice President, Rodger Smock, was paid $120,286 in 2013. It's nothing less than incredulous that the worst Director over Human Resources and the man who intentionally violated state and federal laws for several years and who refused to enforce credit union policies when violated by the President and his lackeys, would be paid what is an astronomical amount. Can anyone name anything Rodger Smock has contributed to the betterment of the credit union?  And the answer isn't that he used to cut out coupons and pass them out to staff. 




We would be very interested in reviewing the loan documents for some of the officers who obtained loans from the credit union. The board approves loan applications for officers of the credit union which may not be illegal but is a conflict of interest. We are particularly curious to know if each of the officers satisfied the same credit union's eligibility requirements non-employees are expected to comply to. 


As shown above., the credit union also provided the following responses to inquiries set in the form which we've retyped below: 
  • "Members have rights to elect the members of the governing body. Members also received a share of the organization's profits in the form of cash dividends." 
  • "Members have he right to elect one or more members of the organization's governing body, whether periodically as vacancies arise, or otherwise." 
  • "Members have the right to approve the governing body's election and removal of members of the governing body, as well as other matters that are subject to the approval of members as they occur." 
The statements are superficially true but the fact is, in 2009 and again in 2010, Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks and her accomplice, President Wiggington, disrupted the electoral process in an effort to keep new officers from being elected to the either the Board of Directors or Supervisory Committee. 

Under California state law, credit union's must inform members in good-standing of the impending election and extend an invitation that if they'd like, they can nominate themselves to vie for a seat on either the Board of Directors or Supervisory Committee. Mrs. Harris-Brooks and Mr. Wiggington intentionally only chose to publish the mandated notices in the Winter newsletter which was only mailed to members who have a checking account and excluding the large sector of members who only have a savings account. 

The two wanted to maker certain that none of the Directors or Supervisors were displaced because the two governing bodies are comprised of ineffective and ignorant officers who are subservient to Mrs. Harris-Brooks' every whim. 

They might have gotten away with their plot had we not exposed. Our exposure of what they had done forced the credit union to hold a "second" annual election which resulted in having to reprint ballots, letters, and the cost of postage to all active members in good standing. The financial impact their ploy had upon the credit union was inconsequential to the two corrupt officers who freely use credit union monies as if they were their own.  

Please note the credit union has new accounts- Richards and Associates. We certainly hope the credit union doesn't sue them at some point in the future as they've done with Turner, Warren, Hwang and Conrad. 


 SHRINKAGE

Though it now more than eight years since Priority One Credit Union began it's ascent towards failure, President Wiggington has avoided a complete shut down of the organization by closing branches, implementing what is now a five year wage freeze that only impacts non-exempt staff salaries, and reduced marketing and business development budgets.

His reductions have come at a heavy cost, compromising convenience, quality member service and ruination of the credit union's public reputation. But no other person has contributed more to financial losses than has the incompetent President's wasted spending.  
  • In 2007, he refused to resolve issues affecting the conversion of Inland Counties Postal Credit Union member account records into Priority One's network. Though he could have responded immediately but enacting steps that would have immediately implemented remedial measures to all Inland Counties Postal Credit Union accounts, he instead ordered that the member service department only respond to members who actually took the time to call the credit union. His slothful response forced the credit union to spend $100,000 obtaining services from Experian' to monitor member credit reports for one-year, at no cost to members. 
  • Later in 2007, he refusal to abide to security protocols resulted in the mailing of ballots in envelopes on whose exterior were printed member account and social security numbers. His error forced the credit union to spend more than $80,000 in remedial measures.
  • In 2008, he spent credit union monies purchasing a $600,000 technically flawed phone system. 
  • In 2008, the President was placed on paid suspension and during the six-weeks which followed, an investigation took place to determine if he had sexually harassed a former employee. The evidence which was eventually provided to the credit union by EXTTI, Inc. proved he had indeed violated federal law but Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks, chose to reinstate the President and literally squash the evidence. 
  • In mid-2008, he borrowed $20 million from the credit union's line-of-credit, forcing the credit union to pay between $30,000 to $50,000 per month in interest alone, over the next two years.
  • In 2009, he hired his friend, Beatrice Walker, to serve as the credit union's first COO and to help him flush out the blogger, bloggers and confederates of the blogger who he said were trying to force the failure of the credit union. After paying her approximately $100,000 a year, in 2011, he fired Ms. Walker only 25-months after she had begun working for the credit union. 
  • Also in 2009, the President and Board authorized the spending of more than $30,000 to procure the services of Lillestrand and Associates. Though the owner, Loren Lillestrand visited the South Pasadena several times during which he met with employees, none of the information he gathered that was to be used to improve how the operation was ever utilized. 
  • Immediately after terminating Ms. Walker in July 2011, he hired Cindy Garvin to serve as Director of Lending. Her starting salary approximated $70,000 but within four months, he promoted her COO, increased her salary and gave her authority to manage the operations over the credit union's Airport, Burbank, Los Angeles, South Pasadena and Van Nuys Branches. Ms. Garvin was touted by AVP, Rodger Smock as an expert in loan development, business development and marketing but at the end of 2013, she too was fired. 
  • Between the years of 2010 through 2014, Priority One spent more than $500,000 on legal expenses though majority of which was defending itself against lawsuits filed by four former employees and one member whose confidential account information was published on the Internet by an officer of the credit union. 
  • In February of 2012, the President opened the Santa Clarita branch and on January 2014, closed its doors. 


 EVIDENCE

The credit union's Quarterly Financial Performance Report ("FPR") for the quarter ending September 31, 2015, reports the organization's net asset size as $153,072,823. On January 1, 2007, the date Charles R. Wiggington,Sr. began his appointment to President, Priority One's asset size was $172,250,649. and the credit union boasted seven branches versus the remaining three it operates. And though the amount of net assets lost since 2007 has often fluctuated, currently the credit union's net assets are -$19,177,826 less than they were on January 1, 2007. 

In 2014, the President complained that he is often criticized for closing branches but that what people don't understand is that the closures were intended to increase profits. No, the closures were intended to reduce spending and raise net capital. Of course, we invite President Wiggington to explain who reducing the credit union's presence in the communities it is chartered to serve, how compromised service and subpar marketing translate into profit. In December 2015, Priority One no longer has a presence in all of Riverside County, in all of the Santa Clarita Valley and in most of the San Fernando Valley. So how is it's physical absence within it's own territories intended to produce profit?


ANOTHER WIGGINGTON BLUNDER

In November 2011, the President gloated over the impending opening of the credit union's newest branch in the Santa Clarita Valley. The structure that would house the new branch was constructed at the request of then Post Master, Ralph Tapia but the President instead, spread rumors that he negotiated a deal in which the postal service agreed to pay for building the location. He also boasted that using his keen negotiating skills, the postal service agreed to only charge the credit union $1.00 per year to lease the space. It would have been an admirable accomplishment if any of it were true. 

The branch was built at the request of then Santa Clarita Post Master, Ralph Tapia. It was his way of showing his gratitude for a credit union he sincerely care about. What's more, in November 2011, the cocky and dull President stated that the branch would be opened quietly and without fanfare because in his words, "People are going to want to become members so we don't need to advertise." He was wrong. 

In 2013, the credit union was contacted by the office of the new Post Master of Santa Clarita who informed a review of their records revealed the credit union was only paying $1.00 per year to lease the structure built by the post office and that the amount would be increased to the market rate. The news was sufficient to prompt AVP, Rodger Smock, into ask, "What is the post office doing to us?" We don't understand why Mr. Smock was so upset. If the President was the amazing negotiator he declared he was, then why didn't he contact the office of the Post Master and renegotiate reducing the amount of the lease?

In January 2014, the credit union permanently closed the doors to the Santa Clarita branch. According to the President, "no one visits the place."  Maybe the location might have had succeeded if the President had chosen to advertise its location. Or maybe, if had chosen to open a location in downtown Valencia versus the unpopulated northern fringes of the Santa Clarita Valley. 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REPORT
  • The Financial Performance Report for the quarter ending September 31, 2015, also references losses under "other reserves" in the amount of` -$139,613 though no explanation what the "other reserves" pertains to.
  • Under Allowance for Loan & Lease (Losses) the credit union reports a negative -$700,000. So did the credit union not set aside sufficient allowance to cover loan losses?
  • Membership growth was below the industry average and reported at a negative -3.02%.  
President Wiggington has made a career of lying, including creating a fraudulent impressions of Priority One's real financial performance. If you visit the credit union's website, you'll find that he has hidden, to date, the 2014 Annual Report. Currently, the 2013 Annual Report continues to appear on the website. In 2009, he attempted a similar antic when he refused to post the credit union's Monthly Income Statements and finally conceded after two complaints were filed with the state's Department of Financial Institutions. In business, sometimes "less is more" but at Priority One, "less is always less." 

The credit union's FPR can be viewed at NCUA.gov using charter number, 60024. 


LEGAL WOES

Inarguably, since Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. became President of the once successful credit union, Priority One Credit Union has found itself inundated in lawsuits, a phenomena that didn't exist prior to his appointment to President. 

It would also be naive to deny or ignore the correlation between his appointment to President, the ineptitude and corruption of the Board of Directors and the ignorance of the Supervisory Committee; and the lawsuits filed by former employees, members, vendors and contracted consultants against the credit union. 

In late June, CUMIS Insurance Society provided Priority One findings compiled by one of its analysts, which allegedly found that the credit union's external auditor, Turner, Warren, Hwang and Conrad ("TWHC") performed annual audits which violated mandated auditing standards. The specific timeframe which audits took place were between "early" or "late" 2010 through 2012. TWHC's failure had the following two-fold effect upon the credit union:
  • TWHC failed to detect any of the many thefts occurring during the years of 2010-2012; and
  • The faulty audits created an opportunity for a former AVP to abscond with more than $1 million in cash from the vault of the Los Angeles branch. 
TWHC was first contracted by Priority One Credit Union in 2008. Apparently, any audits performed in 2008 and 2009 were completed compliant to mandated auditing standards. 

According to CUMIS' lawsuit, TWHC is solely responsible for the theft of more than $1 million yet for some inexplicable reason neither the President, the CFO, two COO's, the credit union's internal auditor, the Board of Directors, the Supervisory Committee, and the entire Account Department never realized money was being stolen from the credit union. 
It's one think to level allegations of wrong doing against another party, but can CUMIS prove it? Using the information provided to it by CUMIS, Priority One filed a cross-complaint accusing TWHC of negligence and contractual violations. The credit union's attorney, John C. Steele, filed a motion requesting the court allow that Priority One sue it's former auditor. 

Priority One had little choice but to file its lawsuit. CUMIS paid more than $980,000 against the $1 million claim filed by the credit union in 2014. CUMIS wants to recuperate it's money. Though CUMIS' has taken action against Pearl Lynnette Fortson, the AVP who allegedly embezzled the cash from the Los Angeles branch but Ms. Fortson has filed bankruptcy and if approved by the bankruptcy court, may escape having to pay restitution if she's found guilty of embezzlement. The credit union's lawsuit would serve to strengthen CUMIS's complaint. More importantly, CUMIS has to win to recuperate the money paid to the Priority One'. And Priority One needs to do everything it can to ensure CUMIS wins its lawsuits or their policy with their carrier could be canceled. If canceled and if the credit union is unable to contract the services of a new carrier, Priority One would be unable to continue it's operation. It's a catch 22 for Priority One and the potential ramifications to its business are nothing less than astounding.


LEGAL HURDLE

As reported over the last several months, Priority One Credit Union is currently involved in several lawsuits. And though the lawsuit filed by CUMIS against Turner, Warren, Hwang, and Conrad is scheduled to start on January 25, 2015, it hasn't been without having to scale large numbers of motions filed both by CUMIS, TWHC and the credit union. The motions are really nothing more than a costly means by which to obtain clarification, delineate perimeters, and determine what evidence and testimonies will and will not be allowed by the court. 

In the latest episode of the on going saga, CUMIS filed a lengthy motion which is hoping is attempting to block the admissibility of testimony by an alleged TWHC expert. CUMIS alleges the expert is unqualified to provide rebuttal testimony and the testimony was not submitted within the timeframe specified under law. 

On November 2, 2015, Turner, Warren, Hwang and Conrad responded to allegations filed CUMIS, asking the court disallow testimony by an expert who would testify on behalf of TWHC. 




Shown below is is TWHC's response to CUMIS' allegations which apparently asked the court to deny the external auditor to deny expert testimony of a "Mr. Sacher" because the report was: 
  • Not submitted on time; and
  • Mr. Sacher is unqualified to provide expert testimony on the matter. 

TWHC responded by contending that CUMIS' that "expert reports" are not required to be created within a legally specified time frame. 

TWHC is also requesting additional time to amend the motion to conform to Mr. Sacher's capacity as an expert so the report is deemed acceptable to the court. 



TWHC clarifies that the expert, Mr. Sacher, will be providing rebuttal testimony to CUMIS' allegations against TWHC and that CUMIS has been in possession of the expert's opinions since June 24, 2015, long before the court trial is scheduled to start on January 25, 2015. 


CUMIS' attorney contacted TWHC and informed them that the expert, Mr. Sacher's opinion were intended to rebut CUMIS' finding and was informed that the intent of Mr. Sacher's testimony was to rebut CUMIS' allegations. Furthermore, on June 24, 2015, TWHC provided CUMIS Mr. Sacher's opinion which mean that CUMIS knew the expert would be providing testimony rebutting CUMIS' allegations. 



TWHC concludes by asking the court to impose sanctions against CUMIS whose allegations were unfounded and unsupported by law. It appears CUMIS either didn't comprehend the facts or intentionally filed a motion possibly gambling on the hope the court would decide TWHC expert's testimony would not be allowed. TWHC in response asks for sanctions to be leveled against  CUMIS. 



On November 5, 2005, the court issued an order scheduling a Motion for Leave to Amend Expert Designation and Request for Sanctions which is scheduled to take place on December 7, 2015.  










iNsANitY

Over the years, two oft the most often asked questions are how has Charles R. Wiggington, Sr. remained President and why hasn't the Board of Directors been voted out by members? 

There is more than sufficient documentation,  i.e. employee complaints, investigative reports, lawsuits, etc., proving the President's ruination of the once thriving credit union. What the obtuse Board is to dense to comprehend is that the President's business decisions, personal immersion in outrageous scandals, and his disdain for maintaining relations with the membership have all adversely impacted the credit union's ability to obtain new business. Subsequently and to remain open, the credit union is now dependent upon expense reductions. These are unimportant factors that Board Chair, Diedra Harris-Brooks, has chosen to ignore. Her mandate is to ensure the inept President remains employed and she has freely utilized credit union resources to hire expensive attorneys who are paid to concoct defenses designed to help the President escape retribution for his egregious acts. In spite of the President's history of failures, Mrs. Harris-Brooks has deemed her abuses of authority prudent and necessary to ensure to President remains employed and paid a salary exceeding $160,000.  

The credit union's current legal troubles involving the theft of more $1 million in cash from the vault of the Los Angeles branch were all completely avoidable. The credit union is hoping CUMIS wins its case otherwise it could adversely impact its ability to retain the services of it's the bond company.  

And though CUMIS would like the court to believe that alleged subpar audits resulted in the thefts perpetrated at the Los Angeles branch, it is logically impossible to do so. CUMIS has to prove that audits conducted by Turner, Warren, Hwang and Conrad during the years of 2010 through 2012 failed to identify any of the cash thefts allegedly perpetrated by a now former AVP. However, from a  layman's point-of-view, there is something more than a little unreasonable about CUMIS' allegations. 

The embezzler had to walk out of the Los Angeles branch with tens of thousands of dollars each month, over what CUMIS identifies as a 24-month period. How did the thief do so without the President, a CFO, two COO's, the Board of Directors, the Supervisory Committee, the Accounting Department and employees of the Los Angeles ever noticing a single theft? How could one solitary employee enter the Los Angeles vault without being observed and leave with either hand, satchel or a box full of cash during each visit? It is just logistically impossible. 

The thefts allegedly committed by an AVP were discovered in February 2013 by Diane Huffman, the credit union's Internal Auditor. Shortly afterwards, Priority One hired Turner, Warren, Hwang and Conrad to confirm Ms. Huffman's findings. Not long after this, the credit union transferred Mrs. Loiacano from overseeing Compliance and transferred her back to overseeing the Consumer and Real Estate Loan Departments. Why was she transferred? Was it that while overseeing Compliance she failed to ensure policies governing security had been consistently enforced? 

Has anyone noticed that Priority One has refused, to date, to disclose how the thefts were perpetrated? What is the President and the Board hiding? We're certain every credit union would like to know how this could have been done so that they can instill measures to ensure this doesn't happen to them. We suspect that the reason Priority One's officers have remained unusually hushed about this matter is because the methods used to abscond with the money were so simplistic, so absurd and so phenomenally ludicrous that they are trying to avoid public ridicule. Either that or someone within the executive sector knew that the thefts were occurring or might even have been involved in the thefts. 

As for CUMIS, we hope they have prepared a hefty arsenal of indisputable evidence that will prove beyond a reasonable doubt, that Turner, Warren, Hwang and Conrad, an industry respected company, is responsible for the thefts perpetrated by one of the credit union's officers. And we can't wait to hear testimony from the Supervisory Committee and its Chair, Cornelia Simmons, the robotic officer who year by year assures members that her committee's reviews have proven that the credit union's security is in place and functioning at optimum. This will be a wonderful opportunity to witness the caliber of executives, Directors and Supervisors representing the credit union.

$164,000 a year. Is the board retareded. And such high pay and he lives in a dump.

Anonymous said...

He's not as cocky as he usually is. He hasn't been bragging about how the attorneys are going to get the credit union off. Plus this time, he couldn't get his name removed from Auto Alliance's lawsuit like he did when the Valencia branch manager sued him. If they lose he could be out the door. We can only hope.

And yes the board is retarded.

Could Wiggy be selling his house to "hide" any profit he may make off the sale? Once his dump is sold he'll shelter his money by depositing
it in a secret offshore account.

An offshore account sounds like Wiggington. If he has to pay up you know the liar is going to claim he's broke. I now know what $164,000 gets you. A lazy, lying, dishonest, sexually harassing, car stealing, books cooking, backstabbing, slanderous, dirty, boring, and unhygienic president. Yikes!

I think an old fashion tar and feathering of Diedra and Wiggington is called for. $164,000 for what? The man is a bigger loser than the credit union.

FOR SALE

The reason why Wiggington put up his house for sale has nothing to do with the trials, at least that's what he says. Charlie spent years telling people that he keeps an expensive art collection in his car which includes paintings, statuary, and who knows what else. Maybe he owns a few Faberge Eggs. At least he might think he does.

Wiggington also lives in a dangerous, high crime neighborhood. You got guys got that absolutely correct.

Weeks back, there was an attempted robbery at his palatial estate. Now most people would probably ask themselves, "Why would anyone break into a house that looks like the dump Wiggington lives in?" Good question. Because Mr. Big Mouth aka Charles Wiggington, talked too much and new about his treasures got out in the neighborhood and someone or some people decided, let's rob the tiny, dilapidated house with the BMW's and the expensive art collection.

This is ONE of the many troubles with Charles. I think most people might agree that there's something mentally wrong with him. Anyone who imagines an army of invisible enemies, who lies and makes up stories about how great the credit union is doing and about his fabulous car and art collections and more than $1 million estate, is in need of some serious psychiatric attention. He has to make up stories because he's miserable with his pathetic life. He knows he's a failure as president, as a man, a husband and father. To bad you can't make up stories that will actually restore business.

Didn't the thieves see his junker car collection or the suits he wears? And if he had a big art collection why would his son be selling meth? Stupid thieves.

You are so right. The salary paid to Wiggington is not justified. He is poison. But Smocks salary is outrageous. What does that fat lazy useless queen? I couldn't stand Bea Walker but she was right about things. Charles is bad for the credit union and stupid, Robert West serves no purpose and Rodger Smock is useless and overpaid.

Professor Tar & Feath said...

I concur. Its time for Wiggington to get a proper tar and feathering. After he receives the "treatment" It's certain almost all employees would enjoy a tar and feathered Wiggy being paraded around P1's south Pasadena headquarters just before he's run out of town on a rail. Best of all Smock and West could then be appointed Co-CEO's.

I want to be an officer at P1.

So Wiggles got scared when someone tried to rob him? No how he knows what Mr. Wafa felt when Wiggles took his car.

I thought CUMIS had a good case. Why are they trying to stop evidence? If they've got a great case, let the so-called evidence come. Don't they have an open and shut case?

Anonymous said...

Back in 2011, the credit union paid detectives to follow the employees that sued the credit union. They even waited outside their homes. And I think they even went on property illegally. So why is Wiggington moving if someone came on his property illegally? He can dish it out but can't take it when someone wants his fairytale art collection.

Wow, how can anyone jack up a credit union, cause people to lose their jobs, get the credit union sued over and over and over again, sexually harass an employee, steal a member's car, etc and get paid more than $164,000?

Part 1

To Diedra Harris or Brooks:

You are the worst. You've ruined Priority One. It's not the board because we all know they are lap dogs. I think Saffold, Hale, Thomas and Marchica all share the same pea sized brain.

Because of your need to control and to act like the CEO, you've ruined the credit union. Back in 2007, a lot of dreaded you would let Wiggington ruin the credit union and you did. When he let all those envelopes go out with member social security and account numbers printed on the front of the envelopes, you let him blame Alan. You knew Alan didn't have anything to do with the breach, but you let him become Wiggington's sacrificial lamb. You are so dishonest and yet you have the nerve to call yourself the Chair of the Board.

Again in 2007, we were all shocked when it was discovered Liz Campos had more than 45 NSFs on her checking account that we all the way back to 2006. Wiggington was VP of operations so he knew that she was overdrawing her checking account but you, the Board Chairperson ignored that really important fact and promoted him to president because skin color was more important to you then qualifications or honesty. And then after promoting him, he promotes Liz Campos to AVP even with more than 40 NSFs on her record. Thankfully she got exposed and it turns out that the woman Wiggington promoted was kiting which is against the law. You of course couldn't see that she broke the law and got mad at the person who exposed her. You are the worst. You should be put in jail.

Then 2008 comes around and you approve all that money spent on a phone system that your lazy ass didn't bother to investigate and so Wiggingbon buy it and not surprisingly, the system is defective. What a waste of credit union money. You and Wiggington should have been forced to pay it back.

In 2008, Wiggington gets accused of sexual harassment and guess what, the evidence shows he sexually harassed Kim but you decide that to cover-up the evidence and bring him back to work. Did you hit your head on the bathtub?

Then you and Wiggington realize the credit union is bleeding money so you decide to borrow $20 million to report it as net income. You couldn't fix the causes for the losses so you decide fooling everyone is a great idea. You and Wiggington caused more than $6 million in losses to be paid out in interest. Are you stupid?

Letter to Diedra Harris or Brooks

Then you and Wiggington decide to hire Bea Walker because according to you to monkeys, she's not only going to make big money for the credit union, she's going to get all your enemies and fire them. You hire her using credit union money and you pay her a huge salary, again using credit union money, but the White woman realizes Wiggington is a moron, Miss Smock is useless, Robert West is a door stop, and Esmeralda Sandoval is uneducated. She also learns that you and the entire board are so ignorant and so laughable, she decides to overthrow the credit union but you people fire her.

Then you hire Cindy Garvin, another White woman, to take over what Bea was supposed to do but she can't fix the problems Wiggington created. She with the help of Joseph Garcia and Wiggington, give everyone quotas and over 2012 terminate so many employees who couldn't make their quotas. The employees didn't fail, you did because you didn't do anything to make sure they were trained and shown how to bring in new business but getting them to meet their quotas wasn't ever the reason for giving everyone monthly goals. It was another cover-up so Wiggington could fire people without being accused of having to fire people because the credit union isn't making money.

Now for years, the credit union gets sued over and over again. That's on you Diedra. You and your board caused the credit union to get sued because you decided that Wiggington, an overpaid, useless, sexual harasser is worth paying a salary of more than $150,000 a year.

It's sad and horrible to see this once good credit union fail because of you and your gang of criminals. You've used credit union money to pay for attorneys to make-up stories that help Wiggington get off the hook. You've used credit union to pay for consultants none of who can fix all the problems caused by Wiggington. You've used credit union money to give Wiggington raises each year and to give Miss Rodger raises.

And the frosting on the cake is how did you, a supposedly really smart ex-manager at the post office, not notice that someone was walking out of the Los Angeles branch with more than $1 million from 2010 to 2012? How is that even possible? Aren't you supposed to be making sure nothing like that happens? It wasn't one theft it was a lot of thefts. And you, the board, the supervisors and Cumis want us to believe it was the fault of the auditors who are only at the credit union 1 or 2 times a year. You need to be run out, because you are as criminal as whoever stole the money. And I think Wiggington should be be audited because no one makes off with $1 million without the president knowing. It's not possible.

You didn't mention how she covered up for Wiggington when he stole Mr. Wafa's car and then transferred it to his name. He insisted he bought it at a dealership but the member's records in XP showed it was the same car Wiggington says he bought. He is such a lying sack of bull chips.

Miss Rodger? What is she single?

Anonymous said...

I know Wiggington had detectives stalking some ex-employees and based on the comments the ex-employees knew he was stalking them. The man is sick. He is afraid of being spied on too. Why would anyone want to rob that dump he lives in? Do they want to steal one of his cheap looking suits? You know no one wants any of his BMWs. And for years he talked about his amazing art collection that he never had. He imagines people want what he has but he has nothing anyone wants.

I think members should attend the trial and get a load of what occupies the board and supervisory committee.

Wiggington is so pretentious that he has to make up stories so his life appears better than it is. He was bragging that his real estate man is in Beverly Hills but his house isn't. He's right. He put his house up for sale with Rodeo Realty in Beverly Hills. His listing agent is Thomas Struckhoff. His house has been for sale for more than 60 days, so it's not being snatched up even at the price he's hoping someone will pay to move in the dangerous neighborhood where he lives. And ad says:

2607 Kent St
ATTENTION INVESTORS!
This property is in a prime location on the westside of Echo Park bordering Silverlake. A short drive to trendy shopping and fine dining and great nightlife. Already zoned LARD2 so there is the possibility to make it a two dwelling property. On a quiet street in an area that is and has been getting "gentrified" for the last couple of years. Great opportunity to remodel/build something new.

Great opportunity to remodel? It's a great opportunity to tear down. It's a dump. It's a dangerous neighborhood and putting in that it's in the "westside of Echo Park" doesn't change a thing. The house is just like Wiggington, a mess.

Do you know if the credit union's lawsuit against TWHC was accepted by the court. The paper you published shows to case numbers but they're the one for CUMIS suing TWHC and TWHC suing the credit union. What happened to the credit union's lawsuit? Did it get rejected?

Anonymous said...

The motion filed to allow the credit union to counter-sue TWHC hasn't been approved yet. Currently, a trial for the lawsuit filed by CUMIS against TWHC has been scheduled and also a trial for the lawsuit filed by TWHC against the credit union.

The credit union better hope their lawsuit is accepted though CUMIS will proceed to court with or without Priority One. What CUMIS needs is more allegations leveled against TWHC. Not only can the credit union help CUMIS but they have to win or they could lose their insurance without which they can't operate. I don't know how many other insurance companies would want to take Priority One as a client and if by chance one agrees the premiums the credit union has to pay will be nothing short of astronomical. Priority One has a lot to lose.

Anonymous said...

I know Wiggles is going around saying he got robbed but could it be he wants to sell his home in case he loses in court? If he loses, they can't take away his house and he could file bankruptcy like Lynnette. Lynnette wants to make sure that if she loses in court and if she gets convicted that she won't have to payback the money she supposedly stole though I still can't figure out how anyone could walk out with $1 million in cash.

Wonder if Wiggy's uncle or Lynette will make surprise appearances?

Anywhere there is free food you can bet your last dollar. Wiggy's uncle will be there to mooch a meal.

Chief Jay Strongbow said...

I feel sorry for the rank and file employees who work at Priority One. It's hard for their sake not to wish Wiggy was a better CEO, one who surrounds himself with incompetent managers like good-for-nothing Rodger Smock and lazy cheapskate moocher Robert West. But I have to admit of all the credit union CEO's I've met over the years Wiggington is by far the very worst. It's really an embarrassment and I'm not even including Wiggy's many sexual harassment sexcapades in my calculation.

The holiday party was great. Wiggington showed up late because he was in his office chugging down a bottle of gravy. Smock came dressed as Mrs. Clause accompanied by a shirtless Latino boy dressed like an elf. Esmeralda was dressed as Santa Claus but the pants tore at the back when she sat down. Lynnette showed up and brought gifts she bought at Neiman Marcus for every employee. We took up a collection and handed it to Yvonne who arrive late because she missed her bus. It was a wonderful party.

Anonymous said...

@Chief Jay Strongbow: Absolutely correct.

When I worked at the credit union, Wiggington's friend, Henry Justice, embezzled more than $85,000 of credit union money paid to him in good faith for 4 cars bought by our members. Mr. Justice ran off with the money and his friend, Charles Wiggington, who introduced him to the credit union didn't do shit to try and get the money back. For years, we had to go to the DMV and pick up temporary monthly registration cards for the members. The members were furious with us because they're insurance companies didn't understand how we could finance cars without having the pink slips. Finally one of the DMV specialists got fed up and drove to Carson and got Henry Justice to sign power of attorney forms for each car.

Then 2 or 3 years later, when Wiggington became president, he invites Henry Justice the embezzler, to come back to Priority One as a broker even though he had stolen more than $85,000 from us. Wiggington is sick and stupid and the worst. I hope his house never sells and he is forced to live in that dump for the rest of his life.

I didn't realize Rodger came dressed as Mrs. Claus. I thought he was supposed to be Divine.

As horrible as he is, he's getting another raise in salary this year. Diedra makes sure that no matter how much money the credit union loses, how many branches they close and how many employees don't get raises and promotions that Wiggington continues to get his salary and benefits.

Anonymous said...

Diedra has to be getting something from Wigg? Is it control over the credit union? Does he have trash on her? Are they having an affair? Why oh why would you keep this loser on payroll and continue to give him raises?

Bucky Beaver said...

It's basically blackmail. Most of us have heard rumors about the secret "dirt dossiers" Wiggy maintains on each and every Board member that he uses to keep them in line. Wiggy keeps them under lock and key as if he were emulating Dr. Joseph Goebbels. There is also a duplicate set of dossiers on a flash drive he keeps offsite, supposedly in an empty jar of Heinz gravy buried under his house. The dossier on Diedra is rumored to be as thick as a phone book.

Anonymous said...

Wow, dossiers. Who ever thought Wiggington knew how to write. I wonder if any of them have dossiers on him? He is after all a car thief and sexual harasser. Yes, I too heard rumors about an empty jar of gravy containing a hidden flash drive. If you've his home, you know that no one would want to crawl under than thing to look for the jar.

I heard a slightly different story about the flash drive in the hidden gravy jar. Rodger hid it for Wiggy, and weve all got a pretty good idea where he stuffed it.

Anonymous said...

Yes, Diedra did attend. As the guest of honor she was not obligated to bring her own gravy, but she did bring a gerbil for Rodger.

Santa's Helper said...

The party was held at the credit union because we can't afford to have parties off-site because of slow business and lots of lawsuit. I guess Wiggington and Rodger could have donated a couple of thousand dollars each to do something but they're not going to part with a penny of what they've taken from the credit union.

Friday's party was more of an after thought. On the 8th we hosted a party for the South Pasadena chamber. There were hors d'oeuvres and lots of wine. Unlike the chamber party of a couple of years ago, not many people showed up probably because the blog published all those embarrassing photos of the chamber at the party. This party was really quiet in comparison.

Wiggington is trying to make it look like things are great when business is bad, we're spending more than $150,000 so far on the new lawsuits and people know him in the industry as a sexual harasser and gravy addict.

I bet the gerbil was scared.

Is Wiggy really a gravy addict or is he more of a sopping junkie?

Anonymous said...

Wiggles has a lot of addictions. Yes, he's obsessed with gravy and sopping up people like gravy. He's addicted to spanking asses. He's addicted to making up stories about how great business is and about all his personal land holdings. He's addicted to story telling and lying. He's addicted to gossiping and slandering. I certainly spent many a holiday part y where I got to see him down Chivas like it was water. The only thing he's not addicted to are drugs.

Anonymous said...

I hated his stories. Didn't matter what a meeting was about, invariably if he was directing the meeting it was always about himself. If it was all males in the meeting, then it was about sex and how many women he slayed, when he first got to California, how wherever he goes how women want him and can't resist him and he'd even point to members who walked into the branch and say, "I hit that." Stupid and boring plus no one ever believed him. If the meeting was mixed he usually avoid talking about sex but he bragged about his mansion and his expensive car collection. I never went to his house but now that I read the comps, it's no mansion and it looks like my grandfather's garage but dirtier.

Rumors are flying everywhere that Wiggy is holding a special private Christmas or New Years Eve sit-down
with his closest compadres. A partial list of invitees includes Diedra, Smock, West, Henry Justice, Yvonne and, of course Lynette. There may be others attending also. Speculation is running rampant the meet-up is when Wiggy will divide up the $1 million booty among his crew.

Did you ever get a look at Lynnette's car? Though I heard people have seen her driving about Crenshaw in a Bentley Continental Convertible GT.

Diedra is truly stupid but everything she does is at a brute, uneducated ghetto level. She does everything to ensure she gets to run the credit union............. Into the ground. This dumbass is the one that promoted Wiggles and hired Bea who failed at everything. But Diedra is as low as Wiggles and no way, no how, these two don't know what happened to the $1 million dollars.

Rodger and his twin Robert West don't know shut about the stolen money, they're just too dumb. Plus they're are moochers. They're just along for the ride. Wiggles is their cash cow because they're his only friends.

Henry Justice gave Wiggles kick backs for years and in time he collected $82,000 as his bonus and got away with embezzlement because of his friend, crooked old Wiggles.

Wiggles and Diedra will divide what's left of the credit union amongst themselves and probably during another "all you can sop or I'll whip your ass" barn yard foot stompin' shinding at Wiggles' stately dump.

The party was great. Wiggington spared no expense. He had the dinner catered by Fat Burgers. His uncle showed up and was rather quiet though he did stare a lot.

Diedra sat on a throne and drank a little too much before the party started. Wiggington gave her a $100 allowance for the day, but she spent it at an El Sereno bar before the party started.

Rodger came dressed as Santa Clause and let Wiggington sit on his lap and tell him what he wanted for Christmas.

Lynnette showed up and busily gave each of us $100 bill. She was wearing the most beautiful mink pelt I've ever seen.

Chuckie showed up too and passed out brownies but most people were leary about trying them.

Esmeralda and Robert West spent most of the party standing by the table where the food was placed. They had a gift drawing but it was really strange, Esmeralda got 7 of the 8 gifts that were passed out. She said it was just pure luck.

All in all, it was a pretty good party.

It's nice to see that Wigg hasn't changed a bit. He's still talking about his favorite subjects. He used to love talking to his old buddy, Aaron, about sex. Now mind you, Aaron loved to talk about how endowed he was and about how women loved him, but for some reason even though he pretended to like Wigg, he hated when Wigg would talk to him about sex. After Wigg would leave he'd apologize for Wigg forcing us to listen to his stupid untrue, never happened, imaginary, make-believe sex stories.

Maybe the person who wrote the comment didn't get a bonus and thought no one else did. Don't assume Squirrel.

Don't misconstrued my comment as favoring the credit union. Wiggy should have gotten a bag full of farts of we were basing it off actual quality of work. The review process being flawed is obvious. The board (who reviews Wigs) is just as corrupt as Wiggy himself so he's bound to get a fat bonus.

@Anonymous: Diedra for some reason thinks that over $20 million in losses of net income and closing down the Redlands, Riverside, Valencia, Airport, Burbank and Santa Clarita branches still means Wiggington gets a bonus even if it's just a few thousand dollars. You know if he was White, Latin or Asian he would have been fired a long time ago but he's so lucky that the almost all black board has chosen to keep the black president employed. Thanks Diedra.

you have to be with the company for at least 12 months to qualify for a bonus so she either doesn't have a year or her review was so crumby it didn't warrant one

Anonymous said...

Wiggington had to pay the bonus. He was ordered to by Diedra because the credit union's reputation is so bad that they need to do things to make it look like business is good even when it's not. They can't afford to do it every year, but its a PR move. Good for the employees (that worked there for at least 12-months). As for Wiggington, the "black" president, he gets bonuses because of skin color. Everyone knows it has nothing to do with his abilities.

Anonymous said...

A long time ago when things first started going downhill, Wiggles the sexual harasser put up signs all over the main branch that talked about how he would never tolerate gossip and that people had to treat each other with considerations. I wonder if all his victims felt like they got treated with consideration? I'm glad the employees got bonuses for whatever reason they were paid. Wiggles really is only concerned with himself but there is some things that just fall way out of his control.

@Squirrel: "Wiggy should have gotten a bag full of farts of we were basing it off actual quality of work. The review process being flawed is obvious. The board (who reviews Wigs) is just as corrupt as Wiggy himself so he's bound to get a fat bonus."

Isn't Wiggles the reason the credit union gets sued every year? First he makes up stories about employees and 3 or 4 of them sue. Then he or Yvonne publish that member's info on the web and they get sued again. Auto Alliance is now suing him and the CU and then there's that mess he, Diedra and Cornelia got the CU involved in that's cost so far more than $200,000 in legal alone. Yeah, let's cut a check and give this Bozo another bonus.

Committee For Vindication said...

The Committee For Vindication would like to express our sincere appreciation to President Charles Wiggington for providing outstanding leadersip as CEO of Priority One CU for 2015.

President Wiggington's remarkable stewardship has boosted morale during this uncertain economy. He has built Net Worth to a remarkable 9.06%, while lowering overall loan delinquency to 1.11% as of September 2015. These ratios are quite an achievement which the Haters refuse to recognize. As far as profitability, P1 made net earnings of $441,000 ytd. And, yes, like Donald J. Trump, The esteemed Charles Wigginton Sr. is a wise and respected businessman who knows when to slash underachieving branches, assets and personnel in order to boost the strength of the credit union over the long haul.

We would also like to thank P1's core managers and the Board of Directors for having the vision to facilitate our CEOs goals. A special thanks to Diedra Harris-Brooks who made this a most successful year.

Anonymous said...

The name Committee For Vindication implies they believe Charles "sexual harasser" Wiggington needs to be vindicated, doesn't it?

I don't know if Charlie's leadership has been outstanding but who else can claim that they took 8 or 9 branches and turned it into 3 or that they caused losses of more than $20 million? I guess that could be considered outstanding by some ignorant and cowardly committee using the name Committee for Vindication.

And no, he has not boosted morale. Did you mean hacked it to pieces? If so, then you are 100% correct. There are 2 economies. The national and the one Wiggles created at the credit union. They're both bad but the national economy has more of a chance of improving than does the credit union's. Have you looked at their balance sheet?

And you better re-check your delinquency figures. And did you forget they have reduced funding and did you forget they have written-off a lot of delinquencies? Do you need new glasses? You'll have to pay for them since the credit union's so-called vision plan is paltry like my holiday bonus.

Donald J. Trump is esteemed while Charles Wigginton Sr. is the laughing stock of the whole industry. He cut branches because the NCUA warned him he better or the credit union could be taken over. Don't try to rewrite history you putz.

Yes let's thank the law-breaking board. The same ones who tried to cover-up the sexual harassment evidence and who let Wiggles play with the books, I mean cook the books. A big hand to the uneducated board. And when is Saffold going to finally pass the state bar exam. After 5 failures you'd think he'd memorized all the questions. And what about two-faced Bobby Thomas who got voted out as an officer of the union? Obviously, the postal carriers are smarter than the credit union's members. And how about Hale? Talk about a sack of potatoes. And let's not forget dishonest, stupid, corrupt, Diedra. She needs to get her butt back on Prairie and Century blvds.

I agree. Why does Wiggington need to be vindicated if he hasn't ever done anything wrong? Go rethink your committee's name.

I agree with anonymous, Donald Trump did say Hillary got "scholonged" then again, every time a young attractive woman entered the South Pasadena branch, Wiggington used to say, "I want to hit that" or "I hit that" (he never hit it because he's never "hit" an attractive woman). He did try to "hit" Patrice, that's why he took his uncle down to Fat Burger so that he could meet her and see what he thought was going to be his future conquest, but like everything else this loser does, it blew up in his face. In fact, you could say Wiggington got "schlonged." Never occurred to me before, but he's not even good at sexual harassment.

Wigg didn't want Lynnette because she was, according to his paranoid ass, one of Mr. Harris' people. Wigg didn't know that Lynnette was as loyal to Mr. Harris as he and Rodger were. That's the reason he promoted Liz instead of her. When Liz got caught for violating federal law, Mrs. Irving made him promote Lynnette. He was furious but he said he was made to promote her. All the others, Liz, Aaron, Sylvia, Yvonne, Bea, etc. were supposedly his "friends" and "buddies" and in time, he fired them all. No surprise, they all hate him now and have talked about him to other people in the industry. Wiggington is brain dead.

Bea said...

Poor Rodger. He always wanted to be loved and adored by employees and of course never thought that backstabbing employees and violating policy could put a crimp in his hope to be the most popular girl at Priority One.

Robert West is starved for attention. He has major daddy issues. He wants people to look at him as the "cool" and "smart" guy. If he was in high school, he'd want to be the jock but as fate would have it, he's no jock but he is Wiggington's own, personal Gumby. He bends into any position Wiggington wants and throws morals and ethics aside like they're a pair of old underwear.

Wiggy, Smock, West and Diedra schlonged the employees at the Christmas party.

Wow. Wiggington's AVP's were as successful as he is.

Gema still has her AVP title though her ass should have been fired along with Wiggington's, Smock's, and West's. She, like Wiggington is guilty of fraud. Having people clock her in, lifting checking account holds, lying, not doing her job.

I can believe Diedra schlonged the employees, but Wigg and Smock can only schlong each other.

Once a month Diedra summons Wiggy, Smock and West to a secret contest to determine which one has the girthiest schlong. You can guess who wins.

Anonymous said...

Diedra wins.

That credit union is schlong fixated (no offense, Rodger). Wiggington who is 60 or more, used to brag about his expert use of his. Another officer who was 40 years old, used to refer to his as an anaconda. Another officer who was in his 50's, used to talk about the porn he watched and about his girlfriend in Tijuana. Schlong fixated.

Yep, Diedra was the girthiest winner for the 5th consecutive month.

For 2016 her newest contest is dubbed Name That Schlong. This competition involves "blind" schlong-only pictures, Wiggy, Smock, Wesr and the entire Board of Directors.

Donald J. Trump a guest judge?

I'm not surprised WEst has daddy issues. A former employee who was once close to him told me that he had confided to her about his parents. I think Wiggington has mommy and daddy issues. According to Wiggington, his mother used to lock him in the closet because he wouldn't stop talking. Maybe her method would have been successful if she never let him out. I don't know why these so-called men come to the credit union and tell you the most shocking information about their childhoods.

Diedra's contest isn't fair because if she's in the competition everyone will immediately know she's the one with the biggest schlong. If might be more fair if she'd not compete and let us try to guess if Wiggles, Smock, West, Hale, Saffold, Thomas or Marchica are the most endowed. My money is on Marchica.

Trump and Hillary would make great judges. Either them or Rosie O'Donnel and Ellen Degeneris.

Wiggington has more in common with Donald Duck than Doald Trump.

Wigg has an unfair advantage in any Long Schlong Contest because he spends a good portion of his day jelqing his Dong.

Anonymous said...

Jelqing is a physical-therapy technique, intended to achieve "natural penis enlargement" by increasing blood pressure and circulation.

Too funny and you've just expanded my vocabulary.

Anonymous said...

Jelquing isn't working for Wiggles. He's still the biggest p*ssy I ever met. The only man officer that credit union is Diedra because it sure isn't Miss West or Miss Smock.

Abdullah said...

Yikes, jelqing is a continuous stroking and squeezing motion of the penis shaft from the base to the head. Sometimes it is referred to as "milking."

All this time I thought Wiggy was incessantly scratching his testicles. All of us now know he is jelqing in order to gain an unfair advantage in a Long-Schlong Competition. Dispicable!

Anonymous said...

You've got to understand that Diedra keeps winning the annual Schlong contest so he's got to prove that he's more endowed than a woman.

Chief Jay Strongbow said...

I would like to pubically apologize to Charles Wiggington.

For years I, and many others on this blog, have delighted in denigrating Priority One's CEO for constantly scratching his testicles and/or playing pocket pool during working hours. Little did I know, until now, that Wiggy was engaged in a rigorous jelqing training regimen designed to improve his chances to win Diedra's prestigious annual Long-Schlong Contest. Now all of us realize Wiggys's a special kind of athlete -- a world-class jelqer.

Needless to say, I am sincerely sorry for my boorish behavior these past several years, when, in fact, I should have been heaping praise on President Wiggington for his athletic prowess and dedication. Wiggy always has his eyes on the prize.

I overheard a Board member saying this about Wiggy: " He's one of the original guys who promised his parents he'd never work a day in his life -- and he made good."

Anonymous said...

@RS: Yeah, all the Directors including Marchica are a pack of tards. Hale is as useful as road kill. Thomas is a smiling, no ethics slouch. O. Glen Saffold is known as the guy who can never pass the state bar exam and who believes O.J. Simpson is the victim of the White man. Marchica needs to resign and stay home. Diedra is the biggest moron to head any board. Is there a word that means super stupid? If there is, then that's Diedra.

@Chief
You might be right. Wiggington wasn't being nasty, unhygienic, or crass all those years when he was thrusting his hands in his pocket and sounding like an old time Las Vegas slot machine. He was actually in training, working hard at jelqing so that one day, he could show Diedra who's the real man. I too must apologize because I thought he was nasty, dirty and unclean when he is in fact is disciplined, world class athlete.

@RS
His parents must be turning over in their graves. His father was a good methodist and his momma was trying to straighten him out all those times she locked him in the closet.

Schlong Contest question:

Years of jelqing by Wiggy - Is it considered cheating or a violation of the rules?

Anonymous said...

It is a absolute violation of the rules. What do you expect from a guy who'll steal a member's car, and a guy who brags about cheating on his long-suffering wife.

Anonymous said...

Cheating is not a word in Wigg's vocabulary. Neither are stealing, adultery, or sexual harassment. He's got a limited, specially tailored vocabulary.

Is Rodger the Ring Girl during the contest?

Stuart P. said...

Can I buy tickets to the Schlong Contest? Is it on pay-per-view?

Satoshi Nakamoto said...

@Stuart P.

For the right price I can not only get you tickets and a front row seat to the Schlong Contest, but I can guarantee you a backstage pass to the competitors dressing rooms, where it's rumored Wiggy will be furiously jelqing before the tourney begins.

Anonymous said...

My money is still on Joe Marchica if Diedra doesn't compete. Otherwise, she'll be the winner again.

Anonymous said...

I might like to purchase tickets. I'd love to see the celebrities either before or after the contest. What's the cost (besides my dignity)?

Satoshi Nakamot said...

Ringside seats for the Schlong-a-Long Contest are currently priced at $500 a piece. Please note there is a huge demand for tickets, so you'll need ro make your purchase within the next 7 business days. Also, its an extra $250 for the backstage pass to Wiggy's green room prior to the big event. Believe me when I tell you it's worth every penny for the backstage pass. This is because it's 100% certain you'll observe Wiggy doing the pre-prep jelqing routine he needs to do to get a leg-up on the other competitors. Wiggy is determined to win this prestigious tournament, at any cost, to prove to Diedra he's worthy of his annual bonus.

It's nice to read that there is one thing Wiggles tries to excel in because it has never been ethics, morals of buusiness.

Who decided ticket prices?

Anonymous said...

I've no doubts Diedra would win but she should stop trying to prove she's more than a man than Wiggington and West.

John Maynard Keynes said...

Ticket prices are always determined by the immutable laws of supply and demand.

Benjamin Graham said...

Well buyers should be provided an explanation as to why they're are required to spend $500 for tickets to see the equivalent of village idiots. Plus $250 to see a sexual harasser. I think I'll pass. Maybe seeing Diedra might be worth it.

John Maynard Keynes said...

@Benjamin Graham

I hear you loud and clear. You have my sympathy because I also believe that ticket prices are way too high. It certainly appears to be surge pricing on the tickets to the Schlong-a-Long (similar to a ritzy restaurant raising prices just because it's New Years Eve). Some might even call it gouging. But this is how the free market works in the USA to paraphrase Mr. Donald J. Trump.

Of course, no one is forced to buy a ticket. If somebody wants to go in-person to the Contest of the Year, and be part of an historical event, they will have to pay scalper's like Satoshi Nakamoto who wisely bought a grip of these highly sought after tickers in advance.

Anonymous said...

I wonder if it's possible to buy just the backstage pass to Wiggy's dressing room? I'd like video Wiggy jelqing in private prior to the Schlong-a-Long. I probably could make a small fortune selling the video. Or I could make myself instantly wealthy from all the hits I'd get on YouTube..

Anonymous said...

I found sitting in front of Wiggington when he used to eat and talk with his mouth full utterly repulsive but I can't imagine wanting to pay to watch his pre-prep jelqing. I know his uncle has no problem with watching but I do. I don't think videotaping him would be very profitable as rumor has it that the reason he talked so much about sex was because he wasn't endowed. It's overcompensation. Maybe the reason he used to play pocket pull was because he just wanted to make sure his stuff was still there.

My money is still on Joe Marchica unless Diedra participates, then of course my money is all on her.

I heard Wiggington is trying to figure out a way of using a prosthetic.
