Updated filing in Tina Paradiso’s Ampie Enterprises Inc bankruptcy case. She was the former Executive Director of Community Resource Collaborative.

She has moved out of state since June 4th declaration.

Tina Paradiso's Ampie Enterprises Inc form 207.
2024 YTD $264,866 Gross Income
2023 $1,163,688 Gross Income
2022 $1,302,021. Gross Income

The expenses and or net profit are not disclosed on the filing but the tax returns have been “uploaded to trustee”.

We know there was over 1.5 Million and more in debt of that over 943k to USA/SBA

Did Monroe County do any financial due diligence seeing if Tina and her company could serve the county well by awarding NON Profit Community Resource Collaborative (CRC) 7.2 Million. Reminder that CRC is now for all purposes defunct as well. CRC was housed at 100 College Avenue imbedded with Tina’s company Ampie Enterprises Inc.

The other interesting thing is that no where in the bankruptcy filing is Community Resource Collaborative mentioned as a debtor or creditor to Tina or her companies (She also owned TSM Development Corp and Paradiso Consolidated Corp) are listed as credit or debtor. Like did CRC pay her rent? Did CRC owe her?

It seemed from social media Tina had the wind at her back doing some real community work with more elected officials throwing themselves at press conferences Joe Morelle, Adam Bello, Robert Duffy chamber of commerce guy, mayors office of economic development and on and on. It’s important the public know what happened here. If the county never came along or NPC came along would Tina have still been in business? Who picked Tina and why? Did they set her up as the patsy? Did she take advantage of things? Did anybody care to examine how she was managing her business and not for profit?

What roll did Anthony Hall, play who replaced Tina as executive director of CRC? Is he legally still the Executive Director or acting in any capacity for the organization? Is attorney Langston McFadden still representing CRC? If so who’s paying him? Insurance company?

Interestingly enough there isn’t a personal bankruptcy filing here so far. Many of the debts were personally guaranteed according the filing. Certainly this can’t be a desired outcome for anyone. But only one so far that’s made the move for public disclosure is the one who swears under penalties of perjury on her companies bankruptcy filing is Tina Paradiso. This is all to nuts.
