Management team scrambles to clean up a mess in wake of scandal. 

St. Paul, MN - As you may have heard, the economy has not been so kind of late to the boys at Frank Brownstone & Associates.  The Company was rocked hard by the subprime lending crisis.  They could barely scrape together the financing to produce their new CD, Better Days.  They were recently indicted on some trumped up, politically motivated federal securities and racketeering charges.  Of course, none of the charges are true. Frank Brownstone & Associates has always operated on nothing less than the highest standards of conduct of any firm in the rock and roll/investment banking business.

On the eve of band's CD release, rumors persist that the band and the Company may not survive the scandal.  Company spokesman, Torrence Deveroe denied rumors that FB&A chief executive Frank Brownstone would be removed by the Company's board of directors.  "They will have to drag Mr. Brownstone kicking and screaming from the board room.  Nobody wants to see that.  That would be silly and pathetic," stated Mr. Deveroe.  However, Mr. Deveroe was sympathetic and expressed concern for FB&A employees who had seen their savings disappear as the band neared completion of their new CD. "Look, FB&A is in two of the toughest industries - investment banking and the music industry.  What do you expect?" 

Fans who want to help are encouraged to the buy the band's new CD.  "At this point, that's our only hope," stated Mr. Deveroe.
