Gentlemen:

As pointed out by that inflammatory swine of a "blogger" who uses the nom de plume "Mrs. P", I hereby give you notice that by your using a look-a-like of myself in the current episodes of your TV series "Damages", and depicting this look-alike to be the central figure in a Madoff-esque Ponzi scheme, you have crossed the lines of libel and slander.

Even my wife Judy can't figure out which of the above is the real me!

If you weren't already aware, I have significant resources, and I will go to any lengths to defend my reputation. Just ask Lucinda Franks!

As for you, "Mrs. P"-- while you've spent more than a year throwing darts with all kinds of absurd accusations, including allegations that I personally signed off on a multitude of financial filings and tax returns for Bernie's biggest investors, and that I was somehow aware of Bernie's scheme, your hiding behind a pseudonym won't stop me from suing you as well. If I can sue a ham sandwich, I can certainly sue a ham that has scant knowledge of GAAP.

And trust me, my friends at DOJ visit your website every day--and they don't take kindly to your putting me in the spotlight when we're in the midst of very sensitive discussions. If you continue to commit blasphemy against me, don't be surprised if fellows with badges knock on your door!

As for the suggestions that I will be signing autographs at Tuesday's "Less Equity Hearing" conducted by Burt Lifland--that's ridiculous. I won't be signing anything anymore, unless its with a pen that has disappearing ink!
