I am pretty sure that Rich didn't take a personal check for the sale of his business. Most likely a wire transfer was done and he was paid what he was owed.
Do we know for a fact that the Tomei who bought Rich's business is the same one who had the legal troubles?

It looks like there's two Jeff Tomeis around, one a lawyer and one an aviation exec in CT. Hoping it's the second.

Rich, enjoy your retirement! You were always great to deal with and I never once had a problem with my overseas orders.
Hmm. That's an old news article from 2001. If that is the same guy, maybe the whole thing is no longer relevant.

I'll leave this here just in case.

Kevin's post above stated:

Rich called me about a week and a half ago with the news. He said he is recommending to the new owner that they remain a sponsor, but I have not talked to him yet.
His name is Jeff Tomei. His cousin is the actress Marissa Tomei.
The first two paragraphs in the New York Post article cited above state:

Actress Marisa Tomei’s cousin, busted for swindling a bank out of $200,000, has been suspended from practicing law for a year.
The Appellate Division’s Second Department suspended personal-injury lawyer Jeffrey E. Tomei, effective Jan. 17.
