PRESS RELEASE
Richard J. âDickâ Cretin To Leave Chortlerâs Board
We are sad to announce the departure of Richard J. "Dick" Cretin, who has resigned from Chortlerâs board in order to spend more time with his family -- eight members of which also happen to reside at the Pleasant Oaks Minimum Security Prison he will soon call home.
Dick was an inspiration to all those who worked with him and who hoped to get rich quick by bilking investors, adding false profits to annual financial statements and artificially inflating the companyâs share price.
His coincidental sale of 3,000,000 shares the day before the SEC announced an investigation of the company will stand out as the final chapter in a remarkable career.
Working his way up as a young man pushing Ponzi schemes, Dick would then cheat his way through Harvard Business School. Shortly after graduation he became the finance minister of Argentina before he ultimately found his true calling as an executive of a major American company.
We will always remember Dick for his mastery of such phrases as "I have no recollection of those documents," "We expect a turnaround going forward" and his classic "I would love to answer that question, Senator, but on the advice of counsel I must use the rights granted to me by the Fifth Amendment."
