Hey all,

I had heard some buzz this morning from one of my Ad Age contacts about
AdBot. Then this story came across my desk from an anonymous source (no
signature on the email).

Hearing set in bid to shut down Chicago Partnership Board
Chicago Tribune
http://www.chicago.tribune.com/business/current/971209/97120924SEC.htm

The Tribune is reporting that AdBot's founder, James R. Frith Jr., is under
investigation for embezzlement by the SEC. One of Frith's other ventures,
the Chicago Partnership Board, is missing $3.4 million dollars from its
reserve accounts.

I understand Ad Age will be doing a story. It should be up on their site
tomorrow.

I'll keep you posted.
