TaylorMade Solutions LLC Business Partner (50% Owner), Falisa Peoples was unable to secure a meeting with Tobias Thornwell and sought assistance from Prince George’s County Administrator to obtain formal meeting with MGM
December 7, 2019, a meeting was granted with the help of Major Riddick, previous County Administrative Officer (CAO). In attendance from MGM were the following:
- Tobias Thornwell
- Augustine Max (Tobias informed me that Augustine was MGM counsel)
- Mirinda Jackson
- Major Riddick
- Falisa Peoples Result of meeting
- Falisa was informed that the lawsuit was a personal matter between the partners and any issues related to the lawsuit was a matter between the partners and not MGM.
- credentials were no longer valid at MGM and that I was “fired” from TMS and once I left MGM my badge was no longer valid and I had been removed from the vendors/contractors list.
- MGM stated I had no rights based on their conversation with Brenda Taylor.
- Falisa Peoples provided MGM with partnership agreement, operating agreement, partnership bank agreement with all signatures, resolution drafted by TMS to remove FLP as a partner (that had NOT been executed), and tax documents showing Falisa Peoples was in fact a 50% owner.
- Tobias and Augustine stated they would provide Falisa with the information she asked for: email records, COUPA access (they denied this since she was fired), and copies of 1099s for taxes since TMS deleted and removed access.
- Tobias and Augustine informed Falisa that they would provide her a formal letter outlining the reasons for her removal from MGM. To date, no letter has been provided.
4th attempt to report- December 10, 2019
Falisa Peoples contacted MGM and requested a reconsideration that would give her badge back and provide access back onsite. Falisa asked for the Coupa records and for MGM to provide her with 1099s sent to TMS. Accordingly, Falisa went over all of the concerns again and explained that she is a 50% owner of TaylorMade Solutions, LLC (the document was provided on several occasions) and should not have been removed from MGM if Brenda wasn’t. She explained that Brenda was upset that the consultants revealed their mismanagement, and that the partnership attorney informed them they would need to remove their son from the premises since there was a concern of his drug use and the OSHA issues raised in the meeting. MGM reiterated to Falisa Peoples that she was “fired” based on his call with Brenda Taylor even though Brenda can’t fire a 50% owner, but since she was a 50% owner MGM would send her a letter to explain their position. Tobias Thornwell then said he was sorry and said he would be happy to provide Falisa Peoples with a recommendation letter from MGM, however, in the December meeting this same representative indicated that Falisa will be removed from the vendor list. If she did such a great job to get a recommendation, why would she be removed from the vendors list?
MGM also informed Falisa Peoples that the EIN was changed in their system which was the first time Falisa Peoples learned that Brenda Taylor was attempting to change the company in MGM’s system which she worked so hard to get.
5th Attempt – December 11, 2019
Falisa Peoples travels to Las Vegas to MGM’s corporate office for meeting with Kenyatta Lewis, Executive Director Supplier Diversity & Sustainable Procurement and provided all supporting documentation to MGM regarding 50% ownership of TMS, that she was removed from MGM,. and discussed the issues raised with Tobias Thornwell and other MGM personnel @ MGM National Harbor – drug use, OSHA, payroll fraud, etc. and was informed our issues were National Harbor MGM and their wasn’t anything MGM Vegas could assist with.
Falisa asked for assistance getting COUPA, tax documentation and any other financial records since records were deleted from TMS and a letter from MGM explaining why Falisa was removed as a 50% owner. To date, no letter or records were received.
