I don't get NN. Can someone summarize the story?



The NN story was written by Dave Ganz so it has a lawyers perspective
and
attention to detail. This is not everything. Some
of this was in the CW article as well.

Wayne Abraham (former ANA controller) emails Cipoletti multiple times
demanding a meeting with him and threatening Cipoletti with legal
action over
his termination five years earlier.

Abraham says he has "hidden" documents" at the ANA and has control of
documents in violation of his settlement agreement with the ANA

Threatens to get "legal authorities" including govt. agencies involved.

Larry Lee (ANA curator) unhappy with staffing decisions is disruptive
at the ANA
and disclosed terms by which people left the ANA. Also accused
Cipoletti of
stealing money from the ANA to finance his house. Took an ANA employee
to
lunch where he made his accusations and asked the employee to get
certain
financial records from the ANA. Employee refuses and tells Cipoletti
about the
incident.

Lee, Nebel and Nulty seen having lunch together which was interpreted
as a
conspiracy against the ANA and Cipoletti.


Two websites go up in May of 2004 with accusations against the
Cipoletti
and the ANA. The ANA says there are many false statements on them.

Accusations on the website included:\


ANA endowment funds are being grossly misappropriated

Executive director takes on virtually every title and responsiblity
for himself
and moonlights as general counsel for the ANA (a conflict of interest)
as well
as being an attorney.

Shroud of secrecy has increased to the level that is is virtually
impossible
to get a straight answer, and those employess who dare to ask are
quickly
let go.

ANA denies these allegations and first claim is for intentional
infliction of
emotional distress by outragious conduct .

Interfering with prospective business relation and economic gain

Breach of contract claim.


There is lot more legal stuff but I think those might be the main
highlights.
