Hi Patrick:

In some ways, I feel like I am your role model. With every passing day, I find more evidence that you are emulating me as the criminal CFO of Crazy Eddie.

I respect a person that strives to achieve the same goals I have achieved in life. I admire your diligent efforts to become a convicted felon, just like me. For example, we both screwed our shareholders with lies and false financial reporting.

However, I was lucky and only was sentenced to house arrest, because I was able to help the government convict other relatives like Eddie Antar. Unfortunately, you are the head honcho, kind of like Ken Lay or Bernie Ebbers. You have nothing to trade.

Your pal,

Sam E. Antar (convicted felon and former Crazy Eddie CFO)
