purposes of interviewing Karen DiSalvo. During the investigation, Karen DiSalvo and her husband were identified via Sunbiz.org due to their names being associated with Dorice Moore under the business name "All About Cellular". During the interview, DiSalvo advised the following:

She first became acquainted with Dorice Moore while the two worked for Arcadia Healthcare during the same period of time. DiSalvo could not remember the exact year, however she was working as a registered nurse/office manager when Moore hired on as a Certified Nurses Assistant. Arcardia Healthcare is basically a temporary staffing service for medical professionals. Moore worked for approximately one year as a Certified Nurses Assistant and "showed promise and interest" so she was moved to the office for general scheduling and office work. During her time in the office, Moore excelled at grasping the business aspects of the staffing agency. After approximately seven or eight months, Moore was able to express interest in opening a branch of Arcadia Healthcare in Plant City, citing her numerous contacts in the area due to being from Plant City. Soon, Arcadia Healthcare agreed and approved of the Plant area branch and entrusted Moore to operate the business.

Not long after the branch became operational did the senior staff of Arcadia Healthcare begin to notice a spike in spending and monies leaving the business. An internal investigation revealed that Moore had "embezzled" in excess of sixty thousand dollars. DiSalvo explained that because of Moore's position as an office manager, she is able to write checks and has a check book easily accessible. DiSalvo further advised that it was common place for an employee to work a shift and then go to the office immediately after to receive payment for that shift, in the form of a check. DiSalvo explained that the internal investigation revealed that Moore would routinely provide this practice for the employees however she would write the check in excess of what was due the employee. The employee would then cash the check and either, give the entire excess to Moore or take a percentage of the excess providing Moore with the remainder.

Once this was determined, Arcadia Healthcare initiated action against Moore when all of the sudden the office in Plant City where Moore's branch was operating out of "caught fire and burned". DiSalvo explained that during her observations of the burnt remains, she noticed that only files were burned and the expensive office equipment remained unscathed, as a matter of fact, the office equipment had been moved across the street as if "Moore knew the fire was going to happen". DiSalvo advised the State Fire Marshall inspected the fire but was unable to charge Moore with arson.

DiSalvo further advised that Moore and Arcadia Healthcare then came to an agreement where-by Moore would pay Arcadia Healthcare twenty-five thousand dollars and the business would not continue their investigation or press charges. According to DiSalvo at the time when Moore was supposed to pay Arcadia Healthcare she "blackmailed" the company and stated she would "go to the press" and "air out some dirty laundry". DiSalvo stated that Moore was going to tell the press that Arcadia Healthcare was employing persons with AIDS, knew that the person had AIDS, and still utilized them for outside sources. DiSalvo explained that was false, however Moore and Arcadia Healthcare knew that the business would spend weeks and a large amount of money battling the "bad press". Because of this threat, Arcadia Healthcare decided to "cut their loss" and excuse Moore's debt if she signed some sort of none compete clause that their attorneys would draft. DiSalvo stated she was under the opinion that this had been done, because the internal investigation against Moore was dropped.

DiSalvo also advised during the time that Moore was an office assistant in the Tampa branch that both she and her husband decided to partner with Moore and open a cellular company, using the other employees as a customer base. This business venture never came to fruition due to the busy schedules of both parties, however, when Moore left Arcadia Healthcare all together after the internal investigation, DiSalvo learned the following. Evidently Moore worked for or associated with a business entitled "American Wireless" prior to Arcadia Healthcare. When DiSalvo and Moore were going to start their cellular business, Moore provided several product displays and other materials, "on loan from American Medical."
