March 25, 2025May 25, 2023 Op-Ed

Dear Governor Sununu and AG John Formella, the Office of Public Integrity, and Merrimack County DA Paul Halvorsen. I believe you all recall the findings of the FRM Ponzi Scheme Report referencing the failures of the AG’s office under Michael Delaney as well as a reference to a Ponzi scheme that was ignored. I would … Read more

Fund for Victims of Sexual Abuse and Domestic Violence Is Lipstick on a Pig

September 20, 2024January 25, 2022 Claire Best

I commend AG John Formella for being the first AG to recognize the horrors and speedy effort to set up a fund to pay the victims of abuse in the centers. However, I also have to say that the proposed fund is effectively lipstick on a pig.

Three Million Dollar Taxpayer Funded FRM Bailout?

September 26, 2018May 1, 2013 Steve MacDonald

Today there will be a House Committee vote on SB180, a bill establishing a taxpayer funded bailout fund for investors who got swindled by the FRM Mortgage ponzi scheme. I’ll be honest. I’m not interested in any particulars on this. The amended cost for the legislation is $3,000,000.00 dollars (initially) to pay off investors who read some paperwork … Read more

So let me get this straight, some 250 folks were trusting (nay, let’s be honest, greedy and stupid) enough to loan money to a Ponzi scheme in the hopes of making astonishing returns on those loans and when the scumbag operating it finally ran out of suckers and money and the game collapsed, these 250 … Read more

GrokTV Event-Rumney home event for Ovide Lamontagne (Candidate, NH Gov.) – Question 9: Position on FRM being re-opened

September 26, 2018July 23, 2012 Skip

Complete switch in topic – The FRM financial scandel that took a lot of people in NH to the cleaners. We hear so much that Government has to regulate more and more and more; what seems to have happened is that the state failed to do anything in the way of regulation at all. But should it be re-investigated with a bigger flashlight?

Question 9:

The FRM financial scandel – lots of people lost their life savings. And it seems to me most of this stuff got swept under the carpet. What would your postition be on this? Would you reopen that or is it a sleeping dog?

Ovide’s talk
Question 1: The Speaker has announced that he wants to cut an additional 2% out of the budget. what are your feelings on that?
Question 2: Last year, the health insurance at the bank increased by 7%. We just got new numbers for this year:14%. You know, last time we talked you wanted to join the fight against Obamacare and now the Supreme Court has come out with their ruling. What can you do for the State of NH against Obamacare at this point?
Question 3: Do any tort reform in the State in order to help us?
Question 4: Competition in the medical industry. I want to have a test done and I have to pay for it myself. I start to call around and I find the best place for me to have it done is Concord Hospital. But in order to go to Concord Hospital, I have to hire a physician at Concord Hospital because my physician cannot send me to Concord Hospital. There’s a problem with that system!
