1/Today add'l names were released.

When I originally found the info here ⬇️ it was just a weird piece. It's still weird, but fits better now that we know Joe Ellicott was served a subpoena by the grand jury.
Ellicott & Greenberg go way back. Surprisingly, Pirozzolo too.

2/Ellicott's sports radio show co-host looks to be part of the socialites in Orlando.

5/Now let's get weird.
#JoelGreenberg bestowed $3.5mil more than a dozen of outside consultants & new employees, including a lawyer married to his aunt while Greenberg was growing up & 3 of his groomsmen. Together have been paid $640,000 so far (Oct2019).

6/
•2 outside lawyers
•2 outside accounting firms
•2 “land consulting" firms, including one owned by longtime Republican power player Jim Stelling.

•4 others Greenberg "couldn't find".

•He’s planning to hand $20,000 to a “cultural consulting” company.

7/Unpacking where the money has gone.

•2 groomsmen
•Rick Sierra, former uncle by marriage
•Public Affairs Director Michelle Ertel, wife of short-lived FL Secretary of State #MikeErtel

8/The biggest financial winner in Greenberg’s spending spree was Praetorian Integrated Services, owned by Republican operative & campaign consultant Michael Shirley, whom Greenberg paid $6,000 to help him defeat Valdes.

9/Greenberg has doled out roughly $678,000 to Praetorian, more than half in $12,500 monthly chunks, for consulting on the tax collector’s budget, helping with strategic planning and providing technological review and advice. floridapolitics.com/archives/19088…

10/ Shirley, Greenberg, Maloy, and Ertel seem to have started a nonprofit group out of the Tax Collector's Office.

Later, they removed #MikeErtel and added David Johnson.

Seminole County Constitutional Officers Association, Inc.

11/Ernest Falco (also a private pilot)
2018, he opened Kona Poké, a restaurant in Lake Mary.

E3 Ventures LLC, owned by Greenberg’s friend & business partner Falco, collected nearly $500k in total, including through a subsidiary.

12/The second firm, Aries, did website modernization and rebranding. It’s owned by Jason Ross, whom Greenberg paid $6,500 for campaign work. The company owned by Ross, one of Greenberg’s friends and also a wedding guest, cashed in for more than $263,000 since January 2017.

13/Sierra, who was married to Greenberg’s aunt until 2015, has been paid about $315,640 since July 2017, overlapping with both the other lawyers.
Total: More than $687,000 over two years.

Why in the world does a tax collector need three attorneys?

14/We'll circle back to Red Carpet Promotions now w/Keith Ingersoll. Ingersoll Investments II-partner
Greenberg hired KI Consulting, a bus partner of Falco’s, for $48k to “facilitate transition,” “evaluate strategy” & recommend investments. Received $6k/mo from Mar 2017-Oct 2017.

15/So, let’s note only that his three groomsmen:
🔸Ashley Kohler, chief information officer
🔸Joseph “Big Joe” Ellicott, assistant deputy tax collector
🔸Tomlinson have drawn paychecks totaling more than $640,000.
