Spoon’s Panelists Withdraw 

14

By Joseph Tumbey 

Four panelists/hosts of the “Spoon Talk show ” have tendered in their resignations in less than 24hrs following a formal indictment by a federal judge in the Southern District of Florida  against  Stanton Witherspoon and co-conspirators Alfred Sellu and Rene Bernadel

Mr. Ben Sanvee, St Tomalin Nyenwolo George, Dr. Henry Peabody  and Keff Hassan turned in their resignations at once  and said the core foundation of Spoon Talk was affected when an indictment was announced against their  CEO, Stanton Witherspoon  for wire fraud late last  January. 

The Chief Executive Officer of the Spoon Communication  Network, Mr. Stanton Witherspoon and co-conspirators were indicted by a Grand Jury on January 12, 2023, in southern Florida on one charge of Conspiracy to Committing Wire Fraud and nine  counts of Wire Fraud in what is now been widely known as the “Nursing Fraud Scandal where fake nursing transcripts and diplomas were allegedly sold to 7,600 persons amounting  to UD$114M.

On Thursday, February 16, 2023, the Government through the office of the Assistant U.S. Attorney in Southern Florida filed A Response To Standing Discovery Order which is required by the Court and encumbers on the Government to turn over any evidence it may have discovered in its case against Witherspoon and his co-defendants.

However, on Friday  February 17, 2033. Four  out of five  Panelists of the Spoon Talk Show  send a written  Communication  to their  CEO  informing  him that they have finally  withdrawn   and resigned  from the Spoon Communication  Network platform. 

The four Panelists wrote and said, “A little over 3 years ago, we joined forces to build what ultimately became one of the biggest platforms in the Liberian media landscape. We build bridges of trust not out of the thought of perfection, but because we believed in contributing to the greater good of our nation. We forged bonds of friendship and believed we were one family. It is well documented and publicized that the core foundation of Spoon Talk was affected when an indictment was announced against CEO Stanton Witherspoon. 

We’ve chosen not to speak to the merits of his case because we have absolute confidence in the United States Justice system. We wish Mr. Witherspoon and his family well and pray for the best, cognizant of the magnitude of the crimes he’s been accused of. 

With that being said, due to internal disagreement on the way forward and direction of Spoon Talk, we’ve made the difficult decision to terminate our association with the platform. This decision was not an easy one, but we can assure our many fans and supporters that this will not be the last time you will hear from us. We will inform you in due time of our next plans as we all strive to see a better and prosperous LIBERIA. 

God bless you all. Chairman Ben Sanvee,Chief St Tomalin Nyenwolo George, Dr. Henry Peabody  and Keff Hassan”.
