RE: Medford Community Cablevision

Dear Public Charities Division:

A member of the board of directors of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. - now under investigation by Maura Healey's office - has filed for bankruptcy.according to both the FINRA site (as Harvey Alberg claims he is a "financial manager"  http://brokercheck.finra.org/Individual/Summary/1896027
as well as the open public court records site:


Court Name: U.S. Bankruptcy Court Records for the District of Massachusetts Case Number: 15-14759 Party Name: Harvey A. Alberg and Doria A. Alberg Filing Type: Bankruptcy, Office: 1 Chapter: 13 Trustee: Bankowski-13, Carolyn [Order on Objection to Claim] Date Published: March 04, 2016

How does this impact the investigation as the AG's office has not yet released information declaring that it could "impede law enforcement."

Are you even aware of the filing of bankruptcy by the board member who consistently listed a false address of 625 High Street (that address simply does not exist) on corporate documents, the same documents that have another board member's name spelled incorrectly - Arthur Alan Delucca (sic).

If you go back and look at MCC TV3's corporate documents you will see members using the corporate address as their home to escape having to list their real, legitimate, legal address.  But Alberg, who used the 501c3 non profit in an inappropriate manner - creating infomercials for his company to engage in "calls for action," allegedly a violation of access TV regulations - while denying residents the use of the station AND engaging with the board of directors in suing community members or dragging the late Pat Fiorello into court, costing probably well over one hundred thousand dollars of funds that were supposed to be used for access TV ...it's a huge red flag.

That the AG's office and the Medford City Solicitor have failed to address this issue in a timely manner is of great concern.  We had an election with no access TV and it benefited Stephanie Muccini Burke, the woman that was endorsed by Maura Healey.

So Maura Healey endorses a candidate to be mayor while simultaneously dragging her feet on the access tv issue, benefiting Healey's chosen candidate, and now one of the board members of the investigated access tv station is filing for bankruptcy.

It makes one wonder if the allegation by a Jim Tuberosa - a Boston resident who joined TV3 Medford by allegedly claiming that he lived in Medford - that Harvey Alberg told him that they were intentionally ruining the corporation to "abscond with the monies" is a true statement,not just an allegation.

If Alberg is filing for bankruptcy now that the monies of TV3 are not available, it brings up many questions:  were the Albergs using the TV3 monies in an inappropriate way, if one believes Jim Tuberosa's claim?  It's a valid question.  Tuberosa had a conference call with me personally to tell me what Alberg allegedly said to him.

TV3’s Board of Directors now has until Thursday, July 24 to produce financial records from the station’s final year or it could face legal action from the city.

The Medford City Solicitor, noted above, gave a ten day deadline to turn over the books. in 2014. Two years have elapsed, it is now March of 2016, four months shy of two years.  Why do cable TV subscribers have to wait while still paying monies that do not deliver computer classes or access tv, as required.


The exact name of the Nonprofit Corporation:   MEDFORD COMMUNITY CABLEVISION, INC.
Entity type:   Nonprofit Corporation
Identification Number: 222488492

As Mark Rumley, the City Solicitor, is quite aware, MCC refused to comply with the Melanson Heath & Co PC audit of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.

The now-bankrupt "money manager' (that was the name of Alberg's tv show) and his board of directors claiming that they did not know Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, yet they had calls for action for residents to talk to them about financial advice.

As I wrote in the Medford Transcript so many years ago:
Page 2 of 2 - The letter (from the accounting firm Melanson Heath) goes on to say that the management, which includes two individuals who claim to be “money managers” (Harvey Alberg of KCD Financial Inc. and Ronald DeLucia of Stoneham's ARK Insurance) and offer advice to Medford viewers, cited “numerous references to accounting standards and accounting practices which we are not familiar with and which we do not understand.” *
Frankly, the Comcast subscribers who fund the enterprise don’t quite understand how individuals we never hired — who admit they don’t know how to count — are able to play with millions of dollars and not be held accountable to the people who fund the station.

It’s our money; we’d like to know how every dime is spent. Anything less should result in the police, the attorney general and the district attorney putting a focus on each and every member of the Board of Directors of TV3.

Isn't it time that the AG's office found out where our cable tv subscriber monies have gone?

Sincerely,

The Editor
