Johan Schild ,Johan Schild tried to extort money from the company for payment of services he did not perform. Daphne Alabama
Dear Mr. Schild:
It has come to my attention that you have had various communications with management in which you demanded immediate payment for services you claim were performed, under threat of disclosing your experiences with management either to potential customers contacted for management benefit or to other potential customers.
Please be advised that those communications rise to the level of extortion, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 875(d), which provides in pertinent part, that:
(d) Whoever, with intent to extort from any person, firm, association, or corporation, any money or other thing of value, transmits in interstate. . . . commerce any communication containing any threat to injure the property or reputation of the addressee or of another. . . or any threat to accuse the addressee or any other person of a crime, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
Because your communications were via e-mail, the threats have been transmitted in interstate commerce, thus invoking federal jurisdiction. Because any amounts that are owed to you are apparently in dispute, your communication demanding the full amount under threat of injury to reputation satisfies the elements of extortion under federal law.
The amount that you are owed is apparently in dispute. While you may have legal recourse if the company is not reimbursing you in the amount and timeframe that you seek, making threats is not one of them. Govern yourself accordingly.
Management
Johan Schild was employed by IIG Management in early February 2008 with responsibilities that included overseas transportation for the company. In the course of performing those duties, it was required that Mr. Schild spend a considerable amount of time in the corporate office in Atlanta and be in frequent communication with the corporate office.
After a few weeks, Mr. Schild tendered his resignation as he felt this position created too much pressure that he could not cope with. To help alleviate the perceived pressure and to utilize his expertise, Mr. Schild was offered a consultant's position, which he accepted. The terms of his consulting role were that he was paid on a fixed daily rate for his time spent in the Atlanta office in addition to mutually agreed upon travel and hotel expenses. At the time of his acceptance of the consultant's position, he was instructed to submit his invoice for consulting services and expenses on a monthly basis and that they would be paid in thirty days, which was corporate policy and industry standards.
Several days before the end of February, Mr. Schild submitted his February invoice and requested immediate payment. He reiterated this request for immediate payment several times in the ensuing weeks, despite being reminded that payment for his services were not yet due. During the month of March, Mr. Schild accompanied another employee to a concrete plant. His involvement with the concrete plant was outside the scope of his consulting agreement and was not authorized by Mr. Schild's supervisor.
On March 28, we received an e-mail from Mr. Schild that he was submitting his March invoice for immediate payment and that unless both the February and March invoices were paid immediately, he was suspending his services. As of the date of this e-mail, although his February invoice had been processed for payment, it was not yet due. With regard to the March invoice of $4,710 that he submitted and demanded immediate payment, 75% of the invoice amount, or $3490, was for services that were outside the scope of his employment and were not authorized.
Mr. Schild received payment for his February invoice on March 31, in accordance with company policy and, as he was told back in February. He contacted our bank and was told that there were no funds in the account, as the account is maintained as a zero balance account (i.e., funds are transferred into the account as checks are presented for payment). Mr. Schild then contacted another former, disgruntled employee, informed him of what the bank stated, and sent an e-mail to the company, threatening to inform the company's business partners, employees, investors, and a local television station of his perceived wrongdoings by the company. We responded by informing Mr. Schild to deposit the check and that we would not be intimidated or threatened. On April 3rd, Mr. Schild acknowledged that payment for his February invoice had, in fact, cleared the bank.
In late April, Mr. Schild was informed that we did not agree with his March invoice and would be in contact with him to discuss it. On May 7th, Mr. Schild sent an e-mail that he was coming to the Atlanta office to pick up his check. We responded that he was not welcome in the office. He responded that he was coming to the office anyway, with or without an invitation. We then again informed Mr. Schild that he was not welcome in our office, that we have notified the police of this threat, and that he would be arrested if he attempted to enter our office. We reiterated that while we disagreed with his invoice, we would pay him what we felt was authorized and that we would not tolerate his attempts at extortion.
On May 9, in a telephone conversation with Mr. Schild, we offered $1,750 in full settlement of his March invoice. The amount offered represented his agreed upon time in the Atlanta office in addition to some limited time on the telephone concerning business on behalf of the company. This offer, which was generous and included payment for time not authorized, was rejected by Mr. Schild.
Mr. Schild continues to threaten the company and its employees, insisting on receiving payment for services that were outside the scope of his consulting services and not authorized. He has continued to threaten to inform business partners, employees, investors, and has even involved the name of a well known controversial television reporter who specializes in scandalous reporting. Our offer of payment of $1,750 remains on the table. The size of this dispute is only $2,960. This summary of the relationship between Mr. Schild and IIG Management is being publicized so that others may be informed of Mr. Schild's conduct. Please refer to the addendum sent to him by our attorney.

An Open Letter To Jerome First I would like to bring to the attention of people wasting their time reading this fraudulent report your overall credibility, and the numerous reports that have been written about you and your dealings. Boxcar/Jerome Hoffman: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/241/RipOff0241845.htm http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/268/RipOff0268801.htm http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/218/RipOff0218642.htm http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/223/RipOff0223568.htm http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/309/RipOff0309872.htm http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/128/RipOff0128226.htm http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/340/RipOff0340544.htm IIG: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/330/RipOff0330819.htm http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/327/RipOff0327007.htm Jerome it seems as though this may be a pattern in your life. Maybe if you weren't such a fraud you wouldn't have to rebut claims of "extortion" daily. You sir, obviously heard about this website because of how frequently your own dealings appear on here. Mind you these examples above are from this website alone. The results from Google would take all day to post. Now I would like you to do me a favor and list the Maritime websites from which Capt. Schild had your job postings removed. This is an absolute lie, and I would like proof of your claim. A copy of the so-called email he sent to the website would be a nice starter. As far as your unintelligible rant regarding Fox News and Rupert Murdoch... you can't be serious. Grasping at straws are we? Captain Johan Schild is a globally well respected business man and ship captain, well known for his honesty and integrity. The fact that you are trying to drag his name through the mud is despicable. Maybe you should be taking lessons from him, because obviously you could learn a thing or two.

Our company posted two ads for jobs on a popular maritime job web site in June, 2008. We were looking for people to fill open positions in our company. While we thought the jobs were posted, we were not getting any responses. When we checked with the web site to see if something was wrong we discovered that the job postings were removed. When we called the job web site they told us our job postings were removed because they had received an email from Johan Schild stating that our company was a scam. We sent the job web site a company a link to our web site outlining our activities and a link to our response to a negative report on our company by Fox News. Our ads were put back up within a few hours and we received an apology from the web site company. What Johan Schild failed to inform the web site company was that Fox News and its owner Rupert Murdoch have hundreds of lawsuits against them for false and incorrect news reports. Countdown with Keith Olbermann, a daily news program on MSNBC, frequently highlights Fox News and Rupert Murdoch as its Worst Person In The World for journalism. In our opinion, Johan Schild has the same poor credibility as Fox News and Rupert Murdoch and should be ashamed of himself for his bad behavior. Please go to Keith Olbermann at MSNBC and look at his broadcast daily and you will see his reports on Fox News, Rupert Murdoch and why they have over 700 lawsuits of slander against the American public. Fox News even went so far as putting a spy in our office whose name is Martha Larcom. We tell you this so that if you have any future dealings with Mr. Johan Schild you will know what you are getting involved with.

I am an ex-exemployee of IIG and this reoprt is a total lie and fabrication. I am also owed monies by the company and have been waiting months for payment. This company, IIG, is run by Jerrome Hoffman, Brian Holloway and Beverly Adams. Mr. Hoffman and Mr. Holloway were the principles in Box Car Stores, and were reportd for their fradulent activities by this site as well as Fox News 5 in Atlanta. They them fromed new companies under the names of Institutional Investors Group, Coastal Metellacon Group and others to continue raising money and defrauding others. Mr. Hoffman is a convicted felon and has a history of failing to pay others who he enters business relationships with. IIG is a fradulent company and please do not pay attention to their postings.
