The Author Reached out to Michal S. Dell of MSD Partners & The Boca Raton LLC

In a letter addressed to Michael S Dell of MSD Partners, the author outlines a grievance concerning their former employment at The Boca Raton, a luxury resort with investment and partnership ties to MSD Partners. The author recounts an initial agreement with two managers, Tatiana and Vanessa, allowing him to take a leave of absence to work in North Carolina with the promise of being able to return to his position at The Boca Raton. This arrangement was made under the guise of operational improvements at The Boca Raton and potential client base expansion for the author. However, upon attempting to return, the author was informed by The Boca Raton’s HR department that rehire was not possible, (actually the managers just ghosted J-D) leading the author to pursue legal action against the resort for deceit, fraud and fraud inducement, and the resultant personal and financial damages.

 The GM of The Boca Raton told his managers to lie to the employees and member.

The narrative, now in a hit podcast, progresses to detail the assurances provided by The Boca Raton’s management, which were subsequently revealed to be false, highlighting a pattern of misleading information that impacted the author’s professional decisions and financial stability. The author experienced significant financial strain and professional setbacks due to the unfulfilled promises and deceptive practices of The Boca Raton’s management, which led to a loss of income, health insurance, and the inability to sustain a living wage. The deception extended to operational issues at the resort, such as unresolved telephone service problems, which directly impeded the author’s ability to conduct business and serve clients effectively.

Did Michael S Dell know about all of this? Did MSD Partners?

Jon-David alleges that managers at The Boca Raton were instructed not to disclose the extent of the telephone problems to employees and members. He documents those allegations, and the evidence he says supports them, in Jon-David & Goliath.

Furthermore, in his podcast, the author describes the impact of these deceptions on their personal well-being, detailing the emotional and financial tolls, including the loss of home and the necessity to incur debt based on the false premise of stable employment. The letter articulates a demand for compensation, reflecting the extensive damages suffered due to the resort’s misleading actions and the broader implications for other employees and clients who faced similar challenges. This demand for redress underscores the severity of the author’s situation and the perceived injustice at the hands of The Boca Raton’s management.

 The managers of The Boca Raton were told not to tell the employees that the phone lines were not working. 

Employees had no way of making a living wage so there were huge walkouts.

Additionally, the author leverages their past experiences of advocacy and confrontation with unethical practices to assert their readiness to challenge The Boca Raton and MSD Partners legally and publicly. Drawing parallels with previous instances where the author exposed and rectified malpractices, the letter, and podcast, signals a strong determination to seek justice and prevent further exploitation. This stance is bolstered by the author’s background as a public figure and social media expert, suggesting a readiness to utilize public platforms to amplify their case and gather support.

The GM, Daniel Hostettler told his managers to lie to employees.

Did Michael S Dell or MSD Partners know that The Boca Raton LLC lied to employees and kept members in the dark about there million dollar mistakes? Yes! This author told them.

The author’s extensive outline of the damages, both personal and professional, culminates in a call to action for Michael S Dell and MSD Partners to acknowledge and address the wrongdoings perpetrated by The Boca Raton. The request for a significant financial settlement is framed not just as compensation for the author’s losses but as a deterrent against future misconduct by the resort and its management. The author’s strategic mention of potential public disclosure and legal action serves as both a warning and an invitation for resolution, emphasizing the broader implications of the dispute on MSD Partners’ reputation and financial interests.

No hairdresser would knowingly work in a salon where the phone lines did not work and customers were secretly being asked to use email to book appointments!

In closing, the letter to Michael S Dell of MSD Partners encapsulated a detailed account of professional deception, personal hardship, and the pursuit of justice against The Boca Raton. All of this detailed in the podcast: Jon-David & Goliath. Part of The Mafia Hairdresser Chronicles podcast. The author, Jon-David, articulates a robust case for compensation and corrective action, leveraging their experience, public presence, and evidence of the resort’s malpractices. This narrative not only seeks redress for the author’s grievances but also aims to expose and prevent similar injustices within the wider employment and service sectors associated with MSD Partners and The Boca Raton.

TRUE CRIME

UPDATE: Why I Made Jon-David & Goliath

I spent my savings hiring lawyers to pursue my case against MSD Partners and The Boca Raton. But after taking my money, the lawyers began warning me about what I was really up against: litigation could require a great deal more money, and MSD Partners had vastly greater resources to keep a legal battle going until I was broke, broken and worn down.

So I walked away from the lawsuit.

But I didn’t walk away from the story.

Instead, I produced Jon-David & Goliath. In many ways, making the podcast became my therapy. If I couldn’t afford to spend years fighting this battle in court, I could document what happened to me and tell my story publicly.

I also knew that the ownership group was in the business of real-estate investment, and I believed The Boca Raton would eventually be put on the market. When the property was later offered for sale, I released the podcast.

In Jon-David & Goliath, I discuss issues I believe any prospective buyer should investigate carefully—including what I describe as rot and mold at the property, as well as my concerns about the land beneath portions of the resort and the potential costs associated with maintaining and improving such a massive historic property.

Years later, The Boca Raton remains under the same ownership.

Do I believe my podcast had something to do with the property not being sold?

Yes, I do.

Can I prove that?

No.

But there is an enormous difference between saying “I know my podcast stopped the sale” and saying “I told my story publicly, I raised questions I believed prospective buyers deserved to hear, and the property didn’t sell.”

And I have no intention of taking the podcast down.

Now, as the ownership explores residential and condominium development connected with The Boca Raton, my story remains online for employees, members, prospective residents, investors—and anyone else who wants to hear what one former employee says happened behind the gates of one of America’s most famous luxury resorts.

That is why I made Jon-David & Goliath.

Listen to the podcast. Hear the evidence and the story. Then make up your own mind.
