Former Q Television executive Frank Olsen better start looking for work.
A California judge ruled yesterday that Olsen must pay his former employees $2.2 million in back pay. The network collapsed in 2006, leaving staffers in the dumps. A source close to the trial sent us a message about yesterday's court appearance:
Olsen came with no one -no lawyer, no "friend", no one. He claimed he has "nothing". He also claimed to be on disability (whose is unclear) and having a hearing problem, which stopped court so we could wait for a listening device for him… Just so dumb!
…
They [sic] payroll owed came to $739k and with all the penalties it came to 2.2M. When our lawyer pointed to the box with the number in it, Frank waved his hand and said "I don't have that money!" The judge said he was really sorry, but it was not a choice and that a judgment had been made against him.
The source also suggests that Olsen's stashed his cash in an undisclosed, impenetrable location, which could very easily be someplace on his person.

maybe he ate the money!
Finally some long overdue justice even though this scam artist should be in jail with all the other low life thieves that were involved with Q.
The long and sordid history of this guy should have been exposed a long time ago in the gay media before he ripped so many people off.
It would be nice to see some real investigating reporting concerning the so called new company CPPC and what the relation was or is to Olson.
Many unanswered questions to the biggest rip off ever done in the gay community by one of our own.
For those who are asking about Frank Olsen and why he has been allowed to get away with all these scams, you may want to check out David Del Valle's "Camp David" column at the Films in Review website. A few months back he did an article on Frank. check out: http://www.filmsinreview.com/2.....adio-daze/
