One of the most enduringly-popular posts on this website has been my coverage of the Sutherland lawsuit and their questionable business practices. I say “questionable,” because I am not personally aware of evidence of their lack of ethics first-hand (Yes, Mickey, I’m expecting you to chime in about now!). But on that post, an old-schooler - one who was on a first-name basis with Dilip Velodi back in the days when Suth was a measly 25-man operation - checks in with is thoughts on Sutherland’s business practices and where they come from. Wonder of wonders, Dilip is the Alpha and the Omega of Suth’s frequently-alleged corruption.
I’m the old-schooler who posted yesterday. I was thinking about it, and I got my dates wrong. I said it was 1989 when I started working at Sutherland, when they first opened for business. It was actually 1987.
Just for the record….
Thanks for the correction, Old School. And thanks for checking in, very interesting stuff, as a matter of fact.
