Admittedly, Harvey Weinstein’s caricature could have adorned a German propaganda poster circa 1938.  But looks can be deceiving and in reality Harvey Weinstein is an extremely compassionate human being. 

And because he’s so talented and so incredibly successful, thousands of starlets, ingénues and wannabes regularly tried to trick him into trading sex for stardom. But Harvey rebuffed their advances because he loves his children and respects his wife. So they retaliated and played the only card they could. It’s an old story says Selig, that of a woman scorned. 

And now they’re coming out of the woodwork to take advantage of his good nature and naiveté. And let’s not forget that the majority of Harvey’s accusers are actresses, and many of them have led debauched lives and are now indigent. Accordingly, they see him as an individual retirement plan or more apropos, as a big fat meal ticket. 

In fact, some of these same parasites have been extorting money out of Harvey for years. He reminds me of an innocent guy who pleads guilty to crime he didn’t commit, says Selig. His story reads like a Greek tragedy. He was terribly embarrassed and was coerced into paying so his wife wouldn’t find out. 

In a lot of ways Harvey’s situation reminds me of a Tax Case. For example, when the IRS makes a false allegation against a taxpayer, most people will think he's guilty. Even family members will have their doubts. Where there's smoke there's fire. And when the pressure is on, some people become so scared that they wind up doing things that they wouldn’t normally dream of doing. They agree to things that aren’t true, and they try to conceal their tax problems from their families and business partners. The IRS knows this is happening, but they don’t care because “it’s all about the Benjamins”. 

The same can be said about false sexual harassment and hostile workplace claims. In fact,  most business-owners don’t even defend themselves against these false allegations. And when the lawyers are finally finished with them - the business-owner is left humiliated, vilified, and financially ruined. 

In my opinion, Harvey Weinstein shouldn't have apologized because he didn't do anything to apologize for. And let me go on the record as saying that I don’t like the way Harvey Weinstein is being treated because I’m not into schadenfreude, says Selig. 

And while we’re at it, I don’t like it when the IRS takes advantage taxpayers either. When Selig & Associates represents someone before the IRS we fight like hell, and we make it our business to challenge every falsehood and to quibble over every dollar. And when one of our clients is accused of a tax crime,  they don’t confess (even if they’re guilty). Winners don't confess, and they certainly don’t apologize. You need to protect yourself against sexual harassment and hostile work environment claims.
