Summary of my 2009 unresolved payment due from Steve Leflar
On January 9, 2009 I received a phone call from Eric Symons of North Bay Entertainment (NBE hereafter) to hire my band, Hot House for an event at Korbel Champagne, Guerenville, Ca. on July 11, 2009. On January 10 I received an email and contract from Crystal McLaughlin of NBE confirming all details. I mailed a signed copy of this contract to NBE, 4093 Concord Blvd., Concord, Ca. 94519-1514. We were to be paid $2000 for our performance. The contract was signed by Steve Leflar, owner of NBE and Star Sounds Productions, also at 4093 Concord Blvd., Concord, Ca.
On July 11 Hot House performed at the wine club Speakeasy/Grapevine Swing event at Korbel. All went well with no problems of any kind.
On July 13 in accordance with the contract I emailed a summary of the completed event to artists@northbayentertainment.com.
After a few weeks I began to inquire about payment. Mr. Symons would always promise I would be paid, as late as October. Ms. McLaughlin claimed she no longer worked for NBE. Mr. Leflar claimed not to own NBE and tried to blame the debt on NBE’s previous owner Thomas Schoenberger. I contacted Mr. Schoenberger and he assured me NBE’s ownership was held by Mr. Leflar. I also contacted Julie Williams, Korbel’s Hopsitality Director. She mailed me photocopies of her contract – with Mr. Leflar’s signature - and both of Korbel’s deposit and balance checks for the event, all of which had been mailed to NBE/Steve Leflar, 4093 Concord Blvd., Concord, Ca.
As of this writing I remain unpaid by Steve Leflar.

He owes us $180,000.00 and has collected over $80,000.00 of our checks written to us as well as wrote contracts under our name.
See him at www.northbaye.net
He is now under investigation from the Concord Crimes Division General Crimes 925-671-3030.
If you have had any business dealing with Thomas Schoenberger post it here
NEWS ALERT !!!!!
I just checked my PERSONAL HOME PHONE MESSAGES. Some IDIOT had the nerve to call my PERSONAL HOME PHONE which is unlisted so MORONS don’t call me on my personal phone for personal reasons only.
My home phone and cell phone are listed to me not Star Sounds or North Bay. I am the ONLY PERSON THAT CAN GIVE THESE NUMBERS OUT.
If someone needs to call me for Star Sounds business they can call the Star Sounds number that I pay for for company business and the same goes for North Bay.
The IDIOT that called my home phone is Brad Buthe. When I get back from my Personal holiday with my family, I will call him and read him the riot act like he’s never seen. You have a problem with PG&E or any other company you call the company number, not his or her home phone.

Elk Grove Police Make Shoplifting, Narcotics Arrests
Elk Grove Police made five arrests yesterday including one for narcotics possession and two Stockton shoplifters.
According to police reports, 25-year old Earl Risby of Elk Grove was sitting in the driver’s seat of car parked at the apartment complex located on 6800 block of Di Lusso Drive when he was contacted by officers. Risby is said to have advised the officers he was on probation from another state.
A consent search of the vehicle led to the discovery of marijuana and narcotics inside a backpack. The suspect was arrested and transferred to the county jail.
Police arrested 33-year old Stephanie Leflar and Dan Rhea of Stockton after they had been detained by loss prevention personnel at the Kohl's store on Calvine Road. Both suspects were transferred to the county jail.
An agreement was met. The position of Steven Leflar was to organize the company and lower overhead. After a complete analysis of the companies financial situation was determined it was found to be more than $100.000.00 in debt consisting of deposits paid by the clients for future events were already spent prior to the partnership. (Supporting documents can be found at: www.northbaye.net )
The company was moved to Concord CA where a new license was started as agreed by the two owners of North Bay Entertainment. The company had major problems in Napa since it was operating without a business license since April 9, 2007. (Source is from The City of Napa Finance Department.) Thomas Schoenberger had notified the City of Napa that he had moved the company to Rohnert Park when indeed he operated as usual in Napa to avoid paying license fees and taxes. He was already under an audit from 2004 to 2007 at the time. North Bay Entertainment also had a reputation for not paying artists and had been sued on two occasions and lost by 2005. One of the articles you can find at: http://www.napavalleyregister.com/news/article_705240b6-dc84-585c-abd0-4050456e22fb.html
Thomas Schoenberger didn’t carry any General Liability insurance and would tell clients that would ask for the certificate he was under the Star Sounds umbrella.
We needed to start fresh without all the storm clouds hanging overhead of North Bay Entertainment.
North Bay Entertainment went forward without Thomas or Steven collecting any income from North Bay Entertainment. All of the profit was left in the company to reduce its debt. Thomas Schoenberger Managing Partner of North Bay Entertainment found ways to make money off of North Bay by bypassing normal business operating procedures. He would pick up checks against North Bay contracts and deposit them into his personal North Bay Bank accounts instead of the company account keeping the profits. He would also write his own contracts listing his home address and personal phone numbers.
It was found in November 2008 he was claiming he sold North Bay in February 2008 to people who were owed money. He has continued since with his claim he sold the company without a bill of sale or legal transfer of ownership of any kind. However he continued to do business as North Bay Entertainment Managing Partner.
Thomas Schoenberger then proceeded to defame and slander anybody that didn’t go along with him using Yelp and many other community websites. Thomas also created a website www.starsoundsdjmusic.com posting all kinds of false information and went as far as to copyright as Star Sounds Productions 2009 on the website. He registered it to Star Sounds Productions but listed himself as administrative contact with his email address and contact phone number. The website was taken down by the Star Sounds attorneys. Why would Star Sounds Productions put up a website and then slander itself.
Thomas has been working with Gig Xifaras of Associated Entertainment as a competitor of Star Sounds Productions and to recoup monies owed by Thomas DBA North Bay Entertainment in an effort to damage Star Sounds Productions. They both have made claims against Star Sounds Productions to artists and venues alike that are false but are true about North Bay Entertainment.
Thomas Schoenberger claims he sold North Bay Entertainment in February 2008 to Star Sounds Productions making Steven Leflar responsible for the North Bay Entertainment debt. If it were true then Steven Leflar would also have the assets of North Bay Entertainment and the only bank account under North Bay Entertainment since February 2008. The evidence at this point shows Thomas Schoenberger has deposited over $100,000.00 into his own bank account for North Bay Entertainment business. His own bank statements dated February 25, 2008 to March 24, 2008 total deposits $33,162.50 and April 16, 2008 total deposits $45,837.25. Total $78,999.75 in just two months. The balance of the bank statements are being subpoenaed. Now we have to add in all the checks written to North Bay Entertainment Concord contracts that he collected and put into his bank account.

The AEC stuff from 4 08 was paid long ago. So you can take those out.
I have made plans to pay David martin his three thousand since I received the check for this..
My immediate efforts are to raise an infusion from my art sources in the first week of Feb to guide
the company into better waters..
All 12 days of Christmas performers have been paid in full and Steve has the check stubs...
I am concerned about Guy Gash, but know Steve has dumped some money into his account weeks
ago.
My wife's two gigs are unpaid, but i plan on just using that credit to take care of the cell phone bills

Hi Thomas
I hope all is well. I want to respond to you directly and not through Eric as this is none of his business. As I
understand, he is no longer Managing Director.
I would like to clear up the books by the end of the year. I know that you are waiting for me to send a check
for the commissions and I have it ready. I want to remind you that the reason I was writing contracts and
paying commissions in the first place is that I could no longer afford to carry balances. Especially this year,
because of the shortage of gigs, we do not have the “$$$ cushion” to wait for money. I would basically have
to borrow money if not paid which will cost us financially.
As you know, I have been more than generous in the past about debt letting it run into the $20,000+ when I
could “let it ride”.
I don’t think it is unreasonable to want payment within 7 days. All of the other agencies we work for pay
before or within a couple of days of the event. I have to have payment to the players within 7 days at the
most or no one will want to work for us. Any of our players reporting to other competitors about slow
payment would ruin our reputation for years to come. I know that you disagree, but if musicians are paid
timely they never forget.
I would like to send my check for the commissions next week and receive the $$$ from all events through
December 8, 2007 by December 15, 2007. I know there is at least one Phantom show booked but I have not
received the retainer (as agreed) on that (those) yet. We should clear that up by the end of the year also.
Thanks for understanding about the finances.
Kevin

Steve,
Hope all is well. I am headed to Palm Beach the first week of Feb to raise cash to better the situation .With so many falling apart, and with our personal short crisis that blew over. I am confident that I will do well at my meeting.
Lets get together beforehand, when you are back from Philly.
Things may look bleak now, but we have always survived, and we just have to hang tough.
The artists can all be addressed and in the end, it will work out.
We can take meetings with whoever needs it, and we can meet what we need to head on,unflinching..together..
Lets make this investment work.
In the end, the artists make lots of noise, but its up to us to not act like they do ...
We will succeed brother .....
Looks like I will be hanging out with some heavies ...... and I am ready for it...

To answer Thomas why we can't pay our bills. xis (22.5 KB)
HeyHon ~
I've been looking over the excel sheet for 2008 to figure out why we are so behind in payments and I've come up with some numbers for Thomas.
I show that since you changed the Bank Account from Umpqua to Wells Fargo NBE had to come up with $43,122.50 to pay performers. Without money to back it up because:
I also show that $64,560.75 was put into the Umpqua account and none of it was paid out. It was gobbled up into the black hole that is Thomas NBE.
Please check out the Excel sheet that I've attached. Does it make since???? Give me a call with any questions.

Hey guys...Update for everyone.
Getting through some brutal times. But we will all pull through
Eric, my apologies for thinking the e-mail stuff was your son's fault.
It looks like it could be a mac problem.
I have been in a very poor mood because of dealing with so many forces at once. But I remain confident that
there will be better days ahead
The stresses of low money, debt and soft business can harden anyone.
But the good news here is that musicians have been paid some money before Christmas and the both Star
Sounds and NBE is going into wedding booking season now.
I see lost of misery at the wineries and resorts, with everyone blaming everyone else.
The way forward for all of us is to grab the bull by the horns and lead together.
Let everyone else fall apart as we chose to lead by example.
Steve, you have done an extraordinary job creating winning systems for NBE that the agency needed. Star
Sounds is going to be in the winners seat for 2009 and I plan to do everything I can to help you. Between us
and Eric, NBE can be shored up. If you need any help on the studio side of things, I am here for you as I am
sure Eric is.
Eric, you have dealt with and been strengthened by stress.
I am doing my best to keep the musicians cool and ready to work.
Nobody likes recessions. They are tough and break spirit
But I know NBE pretty well and can tell you that deposit season is coming shortly and we must all keep our
heads as everyone around us falters.
When weddings book, deposits come in.
That should take off much pressure.
As far as Crystal, she has had her own rough patch in 2009. Lets cut everyone some slack and gear up to be
the best brokers we can be.

Here is how dumb Eric is. We decide to play the roles. I will be former owner, you will stay silent and Eric will
play leading man
Instead, he tells Guy that
1) He does not know when, if ever, he will get paid
2) The company is not owned by Thomas, but he is responsible
3) He is owed money too and is really scared
4) That either Thomas or Steve are the people he should talk to

Crystal, since 2000, when I got sick, there has not been a year that we were under 100k in forward debt Even last year, we had 20k in legal fees alone, never mind IRS bills above 10k, consumer debt of 63,000, higher
overhead ( office) and legal troubles.
To have a 50k deficit after having a 376k hole in 2001 is wonderful frankly speaking.
It is my liability , since the business is not incorporated. Going forward, the key is to gain market share while we are in
a growth recession. This is being achieved by bring Steve Leflar on board and defining our AR/AP mechanisms, growth sales and strategies.
I have spoken to Barry and he can wait. I see him for lunch on Wednesday. As far as debts, you forgot to add the 11k still owed me personally that I loaned to the agency.
I have the transfer info from 101007634 to 4099 that we will give to Dan Moore with our tax info.
Even with a much slower economy, we have cut sunk costs, improved efficiency and are now targeting new accounts with a vengeance. We will next work on getting everyones hours tuned up so our clients can expect a predictable call back/ contract generation ratio
I would say that we are basically recovered.For a business our size, our debt is manageable.
Happy New Year
Thomas

Good thoughts all. Lets re-new in Napa and set it u as partnership. We also have to set up a forgiveness of debt
paper for the second half I never got from you. I am cool about the 55k, since the economy went south and that
ain't your fault. We can roll that amount into the figures.
As far as his debt, we get him booked and apply x amount of every gig towards it. Maybe we meet with him next
week. We can also meet with MiI~e Halem together and sign that doc.
I dont have anything to say about the Loders.; I offered them a gig and got no response, so I am not motivated to
reach out again to them....
But overall, this can all be fixed ...Lets plan to go to WelisFargo, get you in as co signer, take out a license with both
names...all is good

Hi Thomas
I hope all is well. I want to respond to you directly and not through Eric as this is none of his business. As I
understand, he is no longer Managing Director.
I would like to clear up the books by the end of the year. I know that you are waiting for me to send a check
for the commissions and I have it ready. I want to remind you that the reason I was writing contracts and
paying commissions in the first place is that I could no longer afford to carry balances. Especially this year,
because of the shortage of gigs, we do not have the “$$$ cushion” to wait for money. I would basically have
to borrow money if not paid which will cost us financially.
As you know, I have been more than generous in the past about debt letting it run into the $20,000+ when I
could “let it ride”.
I don’t think it is unreasonable to want payment within 7 days. All of the other agencies we work for pay
before or within a couple of days of the event. I have to have payment to the players within 7 days at the
most or no one will want to work for us. Any of our players reporting to other competitors about slow
payment would ruin our reputation for years to come. I know that you disagree, but if musicians are paid
timely they never forget.
I would like to send my check for the commissions next week and receive the $$$ from all events through
December 8, 2007 by December 15, 2007. I know there is at least one Phantom show booked but I have not
received the retainer (as agreed) on that (those) yet. We should clear that up by the end of the year also.
Thanks for understanding about the finances.
Kevin

Steve,
Hope all is well. I am headed to Palm Beach the first week of Feb to raise cash to better the situation .With so many falling apart, and with our personal short crisis that blew over. I am confident that I will do well at my meeting.
Lets get together beforehand, when you are back from Philly.
Things may look bleak now, but we have always survived, and we just have to hang tough.
The artists can all be addressed and in the end, it will work out.
We can take meetings with whoever needs it, and we can meet what we need to head on,unflinching..together..
Lets make this investment work.
In the end, the artists make lots of noise, but its up to us to not act like they do ...
We will succeed brother .....
Looks like I will be hanging out with some heavies ...... and I am ready for it...

Crystal, since 2000, when I got sick, there has not been a year that we were under 100k in forward debt Even last year, we had 20k in legal fees alone, never mind IRS bills above 10k, consumer debt of 63,000, higher
overhead ( office) and legal troubles.
To have a 50k deficit after having a 376k hole in 2001 is wonderful frankly speaking.
It is my liability , since the business is not incorporated. Going forward, the key is to gain market share while we are in
a growth recession. This is being achieved by bring Steve Leflar on board and defining our AR/AP mechanisms, growth sales and strategies.
I have spoken to Barry and he can wait. I see him for lunch on Wednesday. As far as debts, you forgot to add the 11k still owed me personally that I loaned to the agency.
I have the transfer info from 101007634 to 4099 that we will give to Dan Moore with our tax info.
Even with a much slower economy, we have cut sunk costs, improved efficiency and are now targeting new accounts with a vengeance. We will next work on getting everyones hours tuned up so our clients can expect a predictable call back/ contract generation ratio
I would say that we are basically recovered.For a business our size, our debt is manageable.
Happy New Year
Thomas

Good thoughts all. Lets re-new in Napa and set it u as partnership. We also have to set up a forgiveness of debt
paper for the second half I never got from you. I am cool about the 55k, since the economy went south and that
ain't your fault. We can roll that amount into the figures.
As far as his debt, we get him booked and apply x amount of every gig towards it. Maybe we meet with him next
week. We can also meet with MiI~e Halem together and sign that doc.
I dont have anything to say about the Loders.; I offered them a gig and got no response, so I am not motivated to
reach out again to them....
But overall, this can all be fixed ...Lets plan to go to WelisFargo, get you in as co signer, take out a license with both
names...all is good

Hi Thomas,
I'll roll the phone to your home number 707-255-3808. I'll cancel the Wells Fargo
account and use the account you already have. As far as the license, it's up at the end of
this month. Do you want to renew the license here in Concord or in Napa and set it up as a partnership?
Now Eric, we lay him off and offer him commission of 40% of std margin. Now his
debt? What do you think. Reply

Group Finance Director.
LLoyds Banking Group United Kingdom.
Greetings To You !!!!!
Firstly, I am Mr. Tim Tookey, the Group Finance Director of Lloyds Banking Group United Kingdom. I am contacting you for a legitimate business transaction strictly for you and me alone. I personally discovered a dormant account with a total sum of USD$95,000,000.00 (NINETY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS) here in our bank.
The owner of this dormant account died on 4th Jan 2002. Since his death, nobody has operated in his account because the account has NO BENEFICIARY attached to it. According to our BANKING CODE OF ETHICS and decision imposed by the new British Prime Minister David Cameron; this dormant fund will be confiscated by law and will be diverted to the British Treasury as Unclaimed fund if it remains dormant for a period of [10] Ten years without any claim.
I therefore solicit for your sincere cooperation in transferring this dormant fund to your foreign account as the foreign beneficiary of the fund to avoid confiscating it by our bank. I will split the transfer into two 2 stages for easy and smooth transfer. Firstly, I will transfer $5,000,000.00 to any valid foreign account you will nominate. After a successful transfer of the fund, I will fly to meet you in your home destination for sharing. Thereafter we jointly transfer the remaining balance of $90,000,000.00 for big investments. This transaction will be done in a legitimate procedure within 7-8 banking days to avoid any breach of the law.
HOW THE TRANSACTION CAN BE HANDLED: As the group finance director of our bank, all our client account details and file are in my possession and that makes it easy for me to include your name as the beneficiary of the fund in all necessary documents involving the money we wish to transfer out from our bank. Most importantly, you will be required to:
- Act as the original beneficiary of the funds.
- Receive the funds into a business/private bank account.
- At the completion of this transaction, the sharing rates shall be 55% for me while 45% for you.
If you are willing to cooperate in this project reply back to me as soon as possible now through my private email below for more details:
PRIVATE EMAIL: timtookeyprivatemail01@yahoo.co.uk
Anticipating for your positive response for more details.
Yours truly,
Tim Tookey

Leflar would rip off his own mother if he had the chance. He keeps changing the name of his compnay to try to hide his criminal reputation: "Steven's Music", "Star Sounds Productions", "North Bay Entertainment", "Simply The Best Entertainment", "STB DJs", "DJ SRL" are ALL the same con man, Steven Leflar. In the past he had used "Steven McArthur" as an alias to hide his identity.
Avoid ALL of the above "businesses", especially "Simply The Best Entertainment" and "Steven's Music" (these 2 have active web sites still up) LeFlar uses 2 friends of his to pose as "owners" of his companies in an effort to hide his affiliation with them. He works most of his scams in the Napa, Sacramento, Elk Grove, Cotati, Sonoma areas, of northern California.
Here is a partial list of people in the music industry that Steven Leflar ripped off:
Michael Halem
David Martin
Gig Xifaras
Thomas Schoenberger
Larry Lynch
Ellen Shea
Ron Israel
Brian Cline
Joe Sharino
Gary Sparks
Kier LaCrosse
Mike Luna
Larry Johnson
Wendy Wiggs
Shiela Groves
Allison Sharino
'Google' Steven Leflar. Then contact any of the above for verification. Stay away from "Steven's Music" and "Simply The Best Entertainment"
STAY THE [***] AWAY FROM SIMPLY THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT
