To Michael Pietsch, CEO, Hachette Book Group, Re: Gary Weiss, Hachette author, “Retail Gangster: The Insane, Real-Life Story of Crazy Eddie.” Below I have reproduced Gary Weiss' email. Weiss is a front for the Jewish-Russian-American-Mafiya, whom Weiss protected when he lied and said that the Italian Mafia had murdered Al Chalem and Maier Lehmann. Weiss protected Mike Vax, whom Guy Velardi referred to as Mikhail. Vax, a killer, ordered the murders of Al Chalem and Maier Lehmann. Weiss, who embezzled $20,000 from BusinessWeek, convinced his mentor, Stephen Shepard, Editor in Chief BusinessWeek, not to hire Liz Moyer. Remember Weiss was fired from BusinessWeek for lying in an article about his source, me, Edward Manfredonia.
