After I filed my consumer complaints I was told by other All Headline News employees that the firm should be called All Headache News. Pay cheques are almost always late, if they come at all. They often bounce. Expenses are supposed to be paid, but are not. I was told by a few employees that they are afraid to complain because they were told they would not get the money owed to them and they would be fired, Owner Jeff Brown runs AHN as a cult and has most of the young writers afraid to disobey him. The list of problems with the firm goes on. Shortly after I quit there appeared under "Mort Karman" on the Internet some porn photos. If you went to "Mort Karman" you get a bunch of what appeared to be stories with the byline "Mort Karman All Headline News." When you clicked on it you would get the most graphic porn photos. I had nothing to do with that. I called Jeff Brown and he said it was something done by offshore Internet scams and his legal department would take care of it. I don't know if he did get it removed, or if it was because of the efforts of myself and my wife, but they were eventually taken off the Internet. As far as myself and all the other people he did not pay or bounced cheques to, he does not respond to phone calls or e-mails or even lawyer letters. I have no proof, but there are rumors he may be going to take the firm to the Grand Cayman Islands. As an offshore operation he would not be covered by U. S laws. All I can do is again warn all advertisers and journalists to stay away from All Headline News. Jeff Brown is a con artist and you will stand a good chance of not getting paid for your efforts.
