Confetti Cannons

Pyrotechnic and special effects company Art F/X of Groveland, Florida filed it's claim in the Chisholm Properties Circuit Events bankruptcy case last Friday, for $1,032.00: $1,025.00 for 10 "Confetti cannons with multi color metallic streamers and confetti" at $102.50 each; plus $7.00 for the bank fee they were hit with after the check was returned "Stop Payment:"


The memo line of the check indicates the cannons were destined for the "Deep Blue" party at the Buena Vista Hotel on Sunday, June 7. Note that this check was dated June 5, and drawn on a CPCE Wachovia checking account that was frozen by the TRO in the Bardfield case on June 3; indeed, the same frozen account that Masterson Electrical Contracting's check was drawn on. Thus, this marks the second instance in a row we've seen in which Chisholm procured OMW goods and services for free, by using a check he apparently knew the vendors would be unable to cash.

  2. As the link says: The truth is an absolute defense to a defamation claim. Which is why I've never lost a moment of sleep since I've started this blog. :o)
