Another Viable ex-employee here.
In Pomona, CA, we never issued the receipts to the customers. We just took their money. Many people asked for the receipts. Anthony Mowl said that we would mail it out, which we know is not true. I was one of the few employees who disagreed to issue the VPADs without the receipts.
To this day, I can still remember what he said about it. "I am the fucking boss. Fuck those people! The people don't need to know, just sell it and take their SSI money. Just do it, don't forget I am the boss." After the show, he laughed and said, "See, many suckers out there." He mocked those people who were clueless and tried to get help from us. During all four shows, you can remember Viable got two "tower" with four VPADs around each of it. Four out of eight VPADs were unable to make a call out. Anthony instructed us to blame on the conference center's system which it was not true. The VPADs didn't work at all. Somehow we made it through those four shows. And still to this day, I still can't believe we fooled many customers.
I bet anyone who did buy VPAD in Pomona, CA can verify it. For all of the four shows, if you can recall, Viable gave away 4-5 VPADs. We had to registered through VPAD, All calls were en route to Texas, same office as MASCOM. Guess what, the four lines were on the lines and never hung up, it was on the whole day. We never actually did any raffle. Anthony said it was all electronic. Again, that was not true. Anthony made the decision and selected those people who he liked. Everything was lie and many customers were fooled by Viable. I must admit when I did those things, I was very sick in my stomach. My feelings sunk...
I want to add someone to the Hall of Shame. His name is Anthony Mowl. Shame on you, Anthony Mowl!
