Edward Wedelstedt

President of Goalie Entertainment, Edward Wedelsted (photo taken at 1999 AVN Awards), known in the industry as Eddie W, is one of America's five most powerful pornographers. He has a long criminal record for such crimes as dealing in stolen property and committing arson.

Wedelstedt is referenced in the August 19, 1999 Rolling Stone article on Luke: "When the leaders of the top adult video and Internet companies gathered at a secretive conference in Cancun, Mexico, in the spring, Ford was a prime topic. The owner of a chain of adult stores [Edward Wedelstedt] was reportedly heard saying not only that Ford is a "menace to society" but "no one should worry about him anymore - Luke's going to end up as a spot on the pavement.""

Eddie W, a former speed (methamphetamines) freak, is hated by many of his peers, regarded by some as vicious and evil. He's suspected of ripping off Reuben Sturman for dozens porn stores while the porn godfather was descending into Alzheimers and prison during the late 1980s.

Wedelstedt received the "Freedom Isn't Free Award" from the Free Speech Coalition in July 1996. At the FSC dinner dance, he said that over the past decade staff in his eight Dallas video stores had gone to jail 1250 times.

Eddie's Kids

People in porn who know the phrase "Eddie's Kids" usually first think of all the congratulatory coverage AVN has dished out to Edward Wedelstedt for his charity "Eddie's Kids" which gives sports tickets to poor children.

There's a sinister meaning to "Eddie's Kids" that most people don't know about. This refers to Eddie's (through his people) willingness to threaten someone's children, usually their most precious possession, to get what he wants.

Let's take the case of Ron Miller and Erotica LA.

Eddie told Ron he wanted to buy his fan show Erotica LA and give it to AVN to run as a fundraiser for the Free Speech Coalition. Ron told him what he wanted in exchange for the show. Eddie made a counter-offer. Ron told him he wasn't interested.

Then Eddie's people told Ron that he had no choice. They would ruin his business. Ron said fine, go ahead. Then Eddie's people told Ron they would make sure that nobody hired his wife Brooke Hunter. Ron said fine.

Seeing that these types of threats weren't working, Eddie's people escalated. They threatened the well-being of Ron's youngest child. They said her name. They said they knew where she went to school.

That's where Ron caved.

So the show that AVN runs on behalf of the Free Speech Coalition (the two most prominent industry organizations, "the glue that holds the industry together" to quote attorney Clyde DeWitt), Erotica LA, was only obtained by Edward Wedelstedt threatening the life of Ron Miller's youngest child.

From the May 2001 issue of AVN:

LOS ANGELES - While previous Erotica L.A. shows primarily have been about bringing the adult industry and consumers together, this year's event (July 13-15 at the Los Angeles Convention Center) will expand that agenda considerably.

This Erotica L.A. will be the first to contribute to fighting censorship. It will be the first Erotica L.A. to be open to trade business. And it will be the first Erotica L.A. to be produced by AVN and Teddy Communications, Inc., which bought the trade show last November.

For the first of the show's firsts, half of the receipts generated from Erotica L.A. will benefit the Free Speech Coalition's Anti-Censorship Defense Committee. Bill Lyon, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, said, "We've always been closely allied with AVN, and we appreciate everything they do for us, and we're looking forward to this situation, especially where we'll be involved in the income from one of their endeavors."

"I think the Free Speech Coalition is asked on a weekly basis to assist all across the country with various anti-censorship matters," said Robert DePiano, legal advisor to Erotica L.A. and the Anti-Censorship Defense Committee. "As much money as possible would definitely help the cause."

"Eddie [Wedelstedt, head honcho of Goalie Entertainment] felt that by bringing together the entire industry together for a one-week exposition for the retailers, the wholesalers and the general public, that considerable amounts of money could be raised for the Free Speech Coalition to continue with their work in lobbying and other legal work that needs to be done to protect the industry," said Al Bloom, president of Goalie subsidiary M&M Sales.

"In the past it's been about sex, about fun and it's been about drawing the consumer. This year more than ever before, it's about business and free speech," said Renée Johnson, Erotica L.A.'s show manager.

Darren Roberts, spokesman for TCI, said "I think that Erotica L.A. was a well-produced consumer show, and it's grown substantially every year Ron Miller (the show's previous owner and now a consultant to the show) had produced it." He added the show "reached a point where it needed a larger, more experienced production company to take it to the next level."

Miller, an attorney, said he's more than happy with AVN and TCI's involvement with the show. "When I started Erotica L.A., it was my dream that I could build it into an all-inclusive show, that would encompass wholesale and retail while always keeping the fans the preeminent factor. This is something I never would have been able to accomplish on my own, and I'm extremely grateful that AVN and Teddy Communications, Inc. has stepped in and taken such a pro-active role. They have taken Erotica L.A. to a place I never would have been able to on my own."

Retailers, 'Eddie's Kids' Score Big-Time At Goalie Get-Together

By Mark Kernes, 3/9/00

Eddie Wedelstedt, owner of Goalie Entertainment, is not known for taking a lot of pauses when he speaks, especially when the topic is the one dearest to his heart: The Eddie's Kids Foundation, which he established several years ago.

"A lot of people take shots at the adult industry - and this is coming from Eddie W., probably the oldest guy in this business besides Teddy [Rothstein] that's been around for this length of time - and I'm going to be honest with you: I don't care what I've ever needed, and I've done a lot of charity work where I've needed help for kids; not only have I never been turned down, but the people have always sent more than they were supposed to send. The adult people are the most generous people I've ever dealt with, dealing with children and with charities. They are just phenomenal. People can take their shots; there'll be people who'll read this and say bad things about us. Whatever they want to say, all I know is one thing: 15,000 children in America this year are going to see a big-time professional sporting event because of Eddie's Kids."

............

But Eddie always finds himself coming back to the kids... "The Eddie's Kids Foundation was set up basically to make sure that kids could get to a sporting event," Wedelstedt explained. "And let's face it: some parents can't afford it anymore. So we want to take children and get them to these sporting events. Well, this year alone, close to 15,000 children will see a game on Eddie's Kids - a combination of the [L.A.] Kings, the [Denver] Nuggets, the [Colorado] Avalanche and the Phoenix Coyotes; these are all fabulous, wonderful, professional organizations who are working with this foundation."

...........

But even during the closing festivities, Eddie's Kids were never far from Wedelstedt's mind. "There's nothing better in this world, when you come from poor like I did, to be able to walk up in those stands, look at those kids' faces - that tells me everything there is to know.... As long as my kids are taken care of, that's all I care about. The kids come first for me. Everything else is bulls---. Take shots at me, good, but don't pick on my kids."

I spoke to Wedelstedt just once, at the July 29, 2000 Free Speech Coalition dinner dance:

I spot Edward Wedelstedt walking out. He is perhaps the most powerful man in porn. I'm scared to introduce myself. I'm scared to take a picture. I stand dumbly then approach him.

Luke: "Hi. Mr Wedelstedt."

I extend my hand.

Luke: "You may not want to shake my hand..."

Wedelstedt shakes my hand.

Luke: "My name is Luke F-rd."

Eddie W moves away. "You've written a lot of nasty things about me. I've never done anything to you, son. But you've got the right."

Wedelstedt told the 1/98 AVN:

In 1970, I was in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I had my little store… I was on the road trying to make a buck. We were trying to help the store make money, and it was different in those days. You only had magazines… Even 8mm movies, you had some but wasn't a great selection. It was the pocket books, the magazines… Peep shows, nobody even knew what those were except certain parts of the country.
One day, I had to go on the road on a Friday. I'll never forget it as long as I live. I went on the road, and I came back, and there's a big sign posted on my door, by the police, that the store was out of business.
I got my key out and opened the door, and I looked inside, and everything was gone. Showcases, the pegboard was pulled off the walls, even the carpet was ripped of the floor. There was nothing left.
I called Reuben Sturman…He says, "Do you want to fight? Do you believe in free speech?"
…Monday morning…a big semi pulls up in front with everything. Magazines, books, showcases, racks… Set the store up. The man came off the truck…gave me a check for $5000… And a little note [from Reuben] that said, "All I ask is that you pay this back, and give me a little business if you get a chance.'
…No one ever did more for Free Speech than Reuben…
I was arrested 40-something times… Went to trial six times. One time [1991] I had tax problems. The government took everything I owned. People were laughing. People were making fun, that Eddie W. was out of business. It was Reuben Sturman who called Ron Braverman and Paul Wisner and said, 'We've got to help this man. We've got to get him back on his feet.'
Reuben ran Eddie's stores while Eddie was in jail. Then, in the late 1980s, when Reuben ran into legal problems, Eddie ran Reuben's stores and eventually took them over, probably without paying Reuben the millions of dollars he owed him.

From the 1999 AVN Awards:

Paul Fishbein: "This is the first retailer that we're giving our Special Achievement Award to. His name is Eddie Wedelstedt [convicted felon who owns Goalie Entertainment]. He's a legend in the video community who is coming out of the closet. He is truly one of the most loyal and generous I've ever met. He supports every free speech organization in this country. Also, he takes care of underprivileged children in Arizona, Colorado and California. I was present this past summer when the Muscular Dystrophy Association honored Eddie for his charitable work. His legal work challenging unconstitutional ordinances that violate all of your rights, taking obscenity busts in places like Dallas and Council Bluffs, Iowa. He fights them to the end, even when facing jail time."
Eddie W: "For 17 of the 30 years I've been in retail, I've had to turn myself in to probation officers or wardens. I spent 1700 days in prison for free speech. When I get these awards, I want to think back to the legends who made this possible. People like [convicted thief] Reuben Sturman, Michael Thevis [convicted murderer], DiBi [member of Gambino and DeCavalcante crime families], the Luros family [Milton Luros rose to fame through pirating], the Warner family, and all the great attorneys who made the laws available so that we can operate today.
"This award does not belong to Eddie W. This belongs to the thousands of kids...working for $4:50 - $7:00 an hour, going to jail because they sold a magazine or a video. To all the kids on the movie sets who got busted. To all the women who took abuse until recently when they started realizing what's going on. To all the gay people who were humiliated for all those years... I take this [award] in your name. I thank you. You are the greatest people in the world. You make a dollar, you make money... You're fighting for something...free speech."
Eddie kisses Paul before and after receiving his award.
Paul: "The only two men who have ever kissed me. Eddie and my father."

From AVN.com 3/9/00 by Mark Kernes:

Eddie Wedelstedt, owner of Goalie Entertainment, is not known for taking a lot of pauses when he speaks, especially when the topic is the one dearest to his heart: The Eddie's Kids Foundation, which he established several years ago. "A lot of people take shots at the adult industry - and this is coming from Eddie W., probably the oldest guy in this business besides Teddy [Rothstein] that's been around for this length of time - and I'm going to be honest with you: I don't care what I've ever needed, and I've done a lot of charity work where I've needed help for kids; not only have I never been turned down, but the people have always sent more than they were supposed to send.

The long weekend of Feb. 3-6 found some of the porn industry's leading lights gathered in Denver at Wedelstedt's invitation for what he calls his "winter party": actually, a working vacation where adult manufacturers and retailers, and several of the lawyers who represent them, gather to discuss issues of importance to the industry... and also to get in a bit of shopping at some of Denver's haute-couture-to-bargain-basement malls and outlets. Wedelstedt (or "Eddie W." as he likes to be called) and wife Vivian revel in their roles of host and hostess while making the various events, seminars and discussion groups the most informative and enjoyable that the industry sees in the course of a year - all of it punctuated by musings from Wedelstedt himself on what he considers the important issues of the day.
But Eddie always finds himself coming back to the kids... and his "people": those that run his chain of adult stores and his friends in the industry. "The Eddie's Kids Foundation was set up basically to make sure that kids could get to a sporting event," Wedelstedt explained. "And let's face it: some parents can't afford it anymore. So we want to take children and get them to these sporting events. Well, this year alone, close to 15,000 children will see a game on Eddie's Kids - a combination of the [L.A.] Kings, the [Denver] Nuggets, the [Colorado] Avalanche and the Phoenix Coyotes; these are all fabulous, wonderful, professional organizations who are working with this foundation. "My people deserve [the recognition]," he continued. "The adult people have stepped forward just unbelievably. The other night, the adult industry raised $170,000 in one night of great contributions of serious money from wonderful people."

Feds Raid Wedeltsetdt's Goalie Entertainment

Federal marshals over the weekend raided five Goalie Entertainment Warehouses.

For Mark Kernes important report at AVN.com, click here.

The feds confiscated millions of dollars of cash from Edward Wedelstedt's establishments, including two million dollars from his home. People usually do not have non-criminal reasons for storing two million dollars at their home.

FBI sources have described Wedelstedt to me as "deadly dangerous."

Wedelstedt has a long criminal history, and has been busted repeatedly for dealing in stolen property and income tax evasion.

Eddie W, as he's known to his friends, is a complex man. A member of the "old school" of pornographers that goes back to Reuben Sturman, he donates tens of thousands of dollars to various charities.

Wedelstedt gave a long rambling speech at the AVN Manufacturers Conference in Hawaii in March about his charitable foundations. Eventually he got so choked up he started crying and then walked off stage. It was like a James Brown ending at a concert.

XXX: "He was such a maniac at that AVN Conference, ranting and raving about his [charity] kids. The inane rambling of a maniac. I don't know if he was thanking people or what he was doing. Some long story. He's so thankful. He starts to cry and slobbering..."

Luke's sources believe that the raid against Wedelstedt was aimed just at Wedelstedt and does not signal trouble for the entire industry.

Here's an excerpt from the report by AVN's legal affairs correspondent Mark Kernes:
The raids, which targeted Goalie warehouses in Denver, Memphis, Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles and the homes of two company principals, began at approximately 5 a.m. pacific time on Saturday, when federal agents allegedly called M&M Sales' Al Bloom at his home to come and open up the building at 9640 Owensmouth Avenue within the hour or they would break the doors in.
"It was a massive thing over the weekend while all the lawyers were in Canada at the First Amendment Lawyers [FALA] convention," noted prominent First Amendment attorney Paul Cambria, who has worked extensively for Goalie in the past. "We're sorting it out now. We'll have a meeting and decide what legal action we're going to take."
Unconfirmed reports say the impetus for the raid was an earlier action against certain video stores in Austin, Texas, reportedly owned by John Coyle. At that time, the reports said, marshals were looking for copies of the DarkSide Entertainment video Sugar Two, an early 1999 release which was recalled by its manufacturer in late April, 2000 after reports surfaced that one of the actresses in the video was underage.

Luke: Eddie W goes back to the days when porn will illegal and controlled by organized crime. Eddie W regards people like murderer Mike Thevis, and Robert DiBernardo, a former captain in the Gambino crime family, as friends and heroes.

Edward has a long memory for his friends and enemies. He stores grudges.

The feds have kept their eyes on Eddie W for 30 years. These latest busts go back to tax evasion by Eddie W in the early '90s.

Wedelstedt's Austin connection, John Coyle, has probably turned states evidence. He's probably fed info to the feds about Wedelstedt.

XXX: "I think that DarkSide title was just an excuse to get into Eddie's stuff. What they do is this. They get something they think is strong. Then they go in there and try to further substantiate it. They go on a basic fishing expedition and see what else they can find out."

Luke: "2257, the record keeping requirements?"

XXX: "No. Because he's a distributor, rather than a producer, he doesn't have to worry as much about that. But I believe that IRS agents were involved in the raids."

Luke: "He's been nailed before for tax evasion before. You'd think he'd clean up his act."

XXX: "You know what they say about old dogs."

Luke: Here's a copy of the search warrant filed by federal agents in the Central Districut Court of California. Number 00-1967M:

Erotica LA - The Inside Story

XXX writes: Eddie Wedelstedt wanted to buy Erotic LA from Ron Miller as a fundraiser for Free Speech. Eddie wanted Paul Fishbein to run it. Eddie and Paul made a deal with a committee from Free Speech that they would buy Ron out and run the show and the profits would be a 50/50 slit between AVN and FSC.

Ron Miller received $10,000 down and $100,000 over the course of a year.

Ron was supposed to run the show this year on salary and AVN has the option whether to keep him or not. AVN hasn't spoken to him yet to see what his plans are so I have no idea what will happen there.

AVN owns the show. AVN has a deal with FSC for profit sharing and most of the big compaies wanted to share with M & M Sales rather than take their own booths. AVN will decide soon if and when there will be another show though I think they probably will do it.

YYY says: Eddie W, who thinks he's God's gift to the porn industry, decided to take over Erotica LA. He took Ron Miller aside and said, either we're taking over the show for free, or you'll agree with our deal. Eddie comes from the old school of porn negotiations.

Eddie Wedelstedt got Vivid and VCA to donate a bunch of old product. Sale of it went to the Free Speech Coalition.

The Dallas Morning News

Internal Revenue Service agents seized property from 14 pornography-related businesses in Texas on Tuesday in an attempt to recover $3.35 million in taxes from the shops' owner.

Six of the businesses are in Dallas County, and one is in Lewisville.

The IRS raids, conducted in seven states, targeted 250 offices and pornography shops owned by Edward J. Wedelstedt . He was convicted of tax evasion in 1982 in Los Angeles, IRS officials said.

Mr. Wedelstedt 's $3.35 million debt stems from his failure to pay a $400,000 tax levy in 1978, said Bill Trantham, an attorney for Mr. Wedelstedt .

The $400,000 grew to more than $3 million because of interest and penalties, Mr. Trantham said.

Mr. Wedelstedt was sentenced to 18 months in prison for the tax evasion but still owed the money, said Jan Gribbon, a spokeswoman for the IRS in Los Angeles.

On Tuesday, IRS agents carted televisions, VCRs, furniture, cash registers and other property from pornography shops, businesses and offices in which Mr. Wedelstedt owns an interest, said Marlene Gaysek, a spokeswoman for the IRS in Dallas.

The agents did not take any of the goods sold in the shops.

"We are seizing any assets we could sell at a general auction -- not triple-X videos,' Ms. Gaysek said.

Ms. Gribbon said the confiscated property will be sold and the money applied to Mr. Wedelstedt 's debt.

Mr. Trantham said the seizures may put Mr. Wedelstedt out of business temporarily. But, he said, "I anticipate he'll be back.'

The lawyer said the IRS action was "just one of those things, part of doing business.'

The Dallas businesses involved were Video Stop, 2006 Market Center Blvd.; Videoland, 10857 Harry Hines Blvd.; Adult Video, 3430 Irving Blvd.; Eros Video Center, 2555 Walnut Hill Lane; and Fantasyland, 1820 W. Mockingbird Lane.

Agents also seized property at Wranglers in Lewisville and from corporate offices at 601 Belt Line Road in Irving.

Property also was confiscated from stores in Lubbock, Amarillo and Merkel, IRS officials said.

Last year, Mr. Wedelstedt 's company, Nobby Lobby, sued the city of Dallas in federal court, claiming that police officers illegally confiscated electronic equipment used to present pornographic videos at Fantasyland, Eros Video and Videoland. That lawsuit has not been resolved.

In late May, 1999, Luke received this letter:

You are doing a wonderful job exposing the people in the porn industry for what they really are but there are a few minor faux pas I can help you iron out. I want to start at the top or perhaps more aptly put, at the bottom.
Edward Joseph Wedelstedt is the top U.S. man in the porn industry and ranks down there with the lowest of human beings. Heretofore you implied that Eddie W spent time in prison in conjunction with First Amendment issues. That is absolutely untrue. Eddie W spent time in prison for one reason and one reason only, Eddie W is a criminal, thug, lowlife and scam artist. Eddy W was nailed once for trying to cheat competitors, e.g., stealing from their warehouses and burning them down and thereafter he tried to scam the IRS. Certainly it is not unusual for criminals to get together and sublimate both the social malevolence of their crimes as well as their respective culpability in the same.
Eddie W likes to publicly proclaim that he did five years for the First Amendment when the truth is that he did five years because he is a hardened criminal! Picture yourself as one of the many convicted felons in the porn industry whom all believe society has dealt them an unfair hand. Eddie W reigns as King of the Over the Hill Gang of Convicted Felons whom control the porn industry.
Here is a story I would love for you to print because it has yet to be exposed! Eddie W gets out of jail and, knowing only one way to make a living, continues on in the porn business. Eddy W, a twice convicted felon who owns many stores (more likely between 70-84 as opposed to the 200 or so you think he owns) is extremely afraid of the consequences of the interstate distribution of sexually oriented materials which may subsequently be adjudged to be obscene. Eddie W's huge operation requires a captive distributorship but he is not willing to accept the huge risk, yet, at the same time, his greed will not allow him to purchase from other distributors who may be making a small percentage on the goods shipped to his stores. Eddie W resolves to strike a balance between greed and fear and subsequently hires recently released ex-felon Don Browning, M&M Distributors. The deal is that Eddie W is both boss and financier and Don Browning is the front man and partner. Now Eddy W secretly gets back a piece of everything he would have been paying to those who were willing to take the risk of being interstate distributors.
Make no mistake, this is part of Eddie W's criminal enterprise. Convicted felon Eddy W hires (buys) recently released convicted felon Don Browning [convicted in the early 1990s for Interstate Transportation of Obscenity along with Susan Conlin, Chris Mann and others at CPLC - California Publishing L… Company] and who does Don Browning hire (buy)? Don Browning hires his recently released former jailhouse lover, convicted felon Mark Suckman. Mark is a consummate conman (convicted for mail and wire fraud as well as evading prosecution by living in Costa Rica) and there is every reason to expect that he will have a long and prosperous career in the Eddie W Criminal Empire.

Eddie W's criminal record includes the following case: Iowa vs. Edward Joseph Wedelstedt, No. 60762, Supreme Court of Iowa, March 22, 1978. On May 17, a rehearing was denied. In other words, Eddie's appeal for his conviction for dealing in stolen goods was denied.

From the court records:
Defendant [Wedelstedt] was convicted in the Black Hawk District Court...of aiding in concealing stolen property and conspiracy....
A central figure in the State's case was Thomas Meade. The record shows that, in 1967, Meade was incarcerated upon conviction of a felony. After his release he went to college and then to work for Edward Joseph Wedelstedt (defendant). Defendant was shown to own a chain of what were characterized as bookstores. Meade found locations and opened new bookstores for defendant.
In 1974, while in Davenport visiting his parents, Meade met some peopole who had stolen two movie projectors. He thereafter called defendant at his office in Cedar Rapids, Linn County, Iowa, to inquire whether defendant wanted to buy the stolen projectors. Defendant agreed to purchase the projectors for $200. After the purchase was made, Meade told defendant [Eddie W] the people who stole the projectors also saw several canisters of film located at the farmhouse where the projectors were stolen. Believing the films were pornographic and thus useful in his business, defendant sent Meade back to investigate the films. Meade went to the Davenport farmhouse, stole a few canisters, and took them to his sister's farm near Davenport. The following day Meade met defendant at a truckstop and showed the stolen samples. Although the films were not pornographic, the defendant was interested in buying them.
The day following this meeting Meade drove his station wagon back to the farmhouse and loaded it by stealing more film. Because there were so many films Meade went back the next day with a rented truck and with help. The truck was loaded with films and various furniture. The truck was then driven to Meade's home in Solon, Iowa, where the stolen furniture was unloaded. Thereafter Meade's wife drove the station wagon to defendant's warehouse in Cedar Rapids. Defendant and his helper followed in the truck.
Defendant paid $10,000 for the stolen films, $2500 in cash and $7500 in credit on a mortgage defendant held on Meade's house in Solon.
Defendant [Edward Wedelstedt] then gave Meade $200 and directed him to rent a trailer and to buy foot lockers soo the films could be taken from the truck and hauled to another place for storage. Meade did so and thereafter drove the trailer to defendant's home in Cedar Rapids and left it htere so that someone else could move the films for storage at a place unknown to Meade.
In October of 1974 the State filed criminal charges agaisnt Meade in an unrelated matter. Motivated by desire to escape punishment in that matter Meade entered into an agreement with the State. Meade received limited immunity in exchange fo rhis furnishing evidence against defendant. From this point Meade worked in a dual capacity. Defendant believed Meade remained his agent and was acting in his behalf. At the same time Meade worked with the Iowa bureau of criminal investigation (BCI). He wore a transmitter to record conversations with defendant. Several recorded telephone conversations between Meade and defendant were received in evidence. One such conversation had to do with a book found by Meade and later given defendant which listed all the films. Another conversation concerned finding a more permanent storage place for the films. Other conversations dealt with finding someone who would buy the stolen films.
At the direction of the BCI Meade told defendant that a prospective buyer from Los Angeles had been found for the films. This was done at defendant's office in Cedar Rapids on November 7, 1974.
...The films were shown and half hte money was to be exchanged first. If there were any "double cross" defendant [Wedelstedt] instructed them to start shooting. Meade was armed with a .22 automatic. Defendant was also to supply two guns for protection. Later all went to defendant's warehouse where he paid the men and got one gun...

Luke: Here are highlights from the court case US v. Edward Joseph Wedelstedt, No. 77-1965, United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit. Submitted Sept. 11, 1978, decided Dec. 15, and rehearing denied Jan. 9, 1979:

The Shepard films were a collection of privately owned classic films. They were stolen in September 1974 in Davenport, Iowa from David Shepard and transported to Cedar Rapids, Iowa where they were received by appellant. They had been stolen and transported by Thomas Meade [an employee of one of Wedelstedt's businesses, International Amusements], who thereafter became an informer for the Iowa Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), in exchange for immunity.
Pursuant to a plan devised by Meade and the BCI, Meade informed Wedelstedt that he had located a buyer for the Shepard films; appellant thereafter arranged for the films to be transported ina U-Haul truck by his associates from one point in Iowa to another, where the alleged buyer was said to be waiting. Wedelstedt was told that the fictitious buyer, who was an agent, was from the West Coast, and would be transporting the films back there.
The "Chicago" transaction involved the theft from a Chicago warehouse of a large number of pornographic, or adult films. This theft occurred on December 8, 1974; the three thieves were Gentry, Leone, and Dobler... They transported the films to Cedar Rapids, Iowa and delivered them to the appellant Wedelstedt. An earlier attempt of the theft by Meade (the informer) and Gentry, on November 23, 1974, had been aborted.
The affidavit of agent Michael Marlin provided inter alia:
"On or about the 8th of December, 1974, a thaft [sic] occured [sic] in Chicago Illinois where more than 1000 8 millimeter pornographic filmswere stolen from a warehouse. Meade was originally asked by Wedelstedt to take part in this theft but did not do so. These films have since been ovserved by Meade at the warehouse at 311 9th Ave. S. E.: Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This theft was done at the direction of Wedelstedt, by his employees. This affiant overheard a conversation between Meade and Wedelstedt on the _ day of December, 1974, where Meade said "How come you ripped of [sic] the films without me" and Wedelstedt said "I gave you a chance and you didn't want to do it." Meade than [sic] said"Did you give them (meaning the thieves) $2 a film as our deal was"...
"On December 13, 1974 the informant, Thomas Meade advised that from his observation at the warehouse 311 9th Ave S. E. the film stolen from Chicago, a poloroid [sic] camera taken int he Shepard [sic] burglary, Electronic desk computer, univac, stolen in the State of Utah, a [sic] adding machine also from Utah were present at that location."
The affidavit further states that Meade is Wedelstedt's employee; that he is under indictment for arson; that the averments he makes to affiant are against his penal interest, and that Meade fears for his safety because of threats Wedelstedt had made against others. Finally it is averred that Meade has provided reliable information in the past which was corroborated by independent investigation and monitoring of Meade's conversations with Wedelstedt.
Luke: Here are highlights of Linn County, Iowa, unsuccesful attempt to prosecute Wedelstedt for running a massage parlor nuisance:
The female masseurs employed at said place [Sultan's Palace, located at 4105 and 4107 Center Point Road, N.E., Cedar Rapids, Iowa] have consistently engaged in the practice of masturbating and/or massaging the penis and testicles of the male customers with the knowledge and consent of the Defendants. The masseurs are not married to the male customers and the customers pay for the services they receive. This massaging occurs on a one and one basis between the female masseur and the customer ina room. There is a Gentlemen's Delight in which two female masseurs are in the room with the male person receiving the massage. There is no indication that this activity can be seen from the street or by other people entering the establishment.

Porn Raids Catch 300 Illegal Workers, 2300 Eddie's Kids
2003-10-23 20:04:38



THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS SATIRICAL

Fred writes Luke: "You labeled it satire. Only a moron would have believed the story. Every loyal reader knows you're a champion of the under class; witness your recent expose on the exploited Mexican dildo workers. Upton Sinlair would be proud! They need to get a grip."

From Yahoo News:

CHATSWORTH, CA - Federal agents raided Goalie Entertainment headquarters and 60 of its stores across the country Thursday, arresting more than 300 illegal workers in an immigration crackdown at the world's biggest porno retailer.

Contacted for comment, setgo.com's Deep Under Cover said the whole story was satirical.

In addition, 2300 of Eddie's Kids were hauled away in shackles, their young innocent handicapped faces pressed against the wire meshing of huge black trucks.

Eddie's Kids will be flown to Guantonomo Bay, Cuba, along with Al Qaeda terrorist suspects.

Eddie W., with tears brimming in his deep dark eyes, told AVN.com that he "is in immediate need of millions of dollars in donations. Please, please, porners, put down your crack pipes for two days and donate the money to my retards. I need to bail them out. This is very wrong. It's all George Bush's fault. I'm a soggy mess. I've cried a river of tears."

Eddie says donations should be sent to:

L-ke F-rd
264 S. La Cienega Blvd, #1417
Beverly Hills, CA 90211

The workers were members of cleaning crews hired by outside contractors, but federal law enforcement officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity said Goalie owner Eddie Wedelstedt had direct knowledge of the immigration violations. They cited recordings of meetings and conversations among Goalie executives, managers and contractors.

"We have seen no evidence of this from the INS, and, if that turns out to be true, we will cooperate fully with law enforcement officials," Goalie spokeswoman Mona Williams said.

The workers were arrested as they finished their night shifts at Goalie stores in 21 states. Agents also hauled away several boxes of documents from an executive's office at Goalie headquarters in Colorado.

An employer can face civil and criminal penalties for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants or failing to comply with certain employee recordkeeping regulations.

Goalie stores had sales last year of $244.5 billion. The company has about 1.1 million employees in the United States, and it uses more than 100 third-party contractors to clean more than 700 stores nationwide, Williams said.

"We require each of these contractors to use only legal workers," she said.

The law enforcement sources said the investigation grew out of earlier probes of Goalie cleaning crew contractors in 1998 and 2001.

All the arrested workers were in the country illegally, said Garrison Courtney, a spokesman with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They were detained at local immigration offices. Those who had no criminal record were released with instructions to appear before immigration judges.

Goalie is not the first big company to be targeted in an immigration investigation. Six managers at Adult Video News, based a couple of streets away from Goalie in Chatsworth, were charged in an immigrant-smuggling case in 2001.

AVN editors had apparently been using illegal Vietnamese labor to write most of its reviews and "news," as well as to make up the much vaunted AVN statistics about industry size, and annual sales being in the neighborhood of five billion dollars.

One defendant shot himself to death a few months after being charged, and two managers entered guilty pleas early in the case. A jury acquitted the sex toy company and three other managers.


Ulysses A. Yannas, an analyst with the investment firm Buckman, Buckman and Reid, said it is too much to expect Goalie to keep track of all of its vendors' workers. But he said the investigation could present a problem for the company.

"It is a question of what else it might bring out. These are long, drawn-out processes," Yannas said.

Top Goalie officials learned of Thursday's sweep when store managers began calling headquarters for guidance in dealing with the raids.

The arrests were made at stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

From AVN.com, Mark Kernes writes:

LOS ANGELES - Gossip columnist L-ke F-rd, under his current pseudonym "Deep Under Cover," used the recent bust of Wal-Mart stores by federal immigration agents to take a jab at adult entrepreneur Eddie Wedelstedt, his company Goalie Entertainment, and — most importantly to Wedelstedt — the Eddie's Kids Foundation, the charitable organization which Wedelstedt founded to arrange for poor and abused children to attend sporting and other events.

For his article, titled "Porn Raids Catch 300 Illegal Workers," Ford copied an Associated Press story dated Oct. 24 from the national newswires and did little more than change the names to make it appear that Goalie rather than Wal-Mart had been raided, though he added material implying that Wedelstedt was a cocaine addict and that the Eddie's Kids beneficiaries were "retards."

The only clue within the story to indicate that the entire piece was a complete fiction was the fifth paragraph, which read, "Contacted for comment, setgo.com's Deep Under Cover said the whole story was satirical."

Apparently, Ford's half-hearted attempt to shield himself from a defamation suit was lost on many of Wedelstedt's supporters and contributors to the Eddie's Kids Foundation, who reportedly deluged Wedelstedt with calls of concern.

"My phone's been ringing off the hook from people who can't understand why I'd refer to these kids, whom I love and whom I've devoted so much effort to, as 'retards,'" Wedelstedt told AVN.com. "It's a good thing they know me well enough to know that I'd never even think something like that, but when they saw this article, they were confused and outraged."

"We in the adult industry have finally got a program that is so wonderful for children across the United States," Wedelstedt continued, "Literally, 70,000 kids a year are taken care of by the Eddie's Kids organization, and it's good for these kids. It's something that we care about from our hearts."

"This has nothing to do with the adult industry except for the fact that the wonderful owners of these companies put their money up with me for the benefit of these kids, and to see something like this happen — for that man to call those kids 'retarded,' it's just gone way too far. We're going to have to get our lawyers involved in this thing; it's as simple as that."

According to the Ford article, "In addition, 2300 of Eddie's Kids were hauled away in shackles, their young innocent handicapped faces pressed against the wire meshing of huge black trucks. Eddie's Kids will be flown to Guantonomo [sic] Bay, Cuba, along with Al Qaeda terrorist suspects."

The Eddie's Kids Foundation has the support of nearly a dozen major sports franchises in the western United States, all donating time, money and tickets to the effort to bring some enjoyment to the children, many of whom are from broken homes or orphaned. Eddie's Kids provides the children with free tickets to major league sporting events, transportation to and from the games, and refreshments. It also throws parties for the children during the Christmas/New Year's holidays and sponsors other activities in which the children would otherwise have no chance to participate.

"For this guy to try to tear all that down — I just don't understand it," Wedelstedt stated angrily.

SOMEBODY GET MARK KERNES A LEGAL GLOSSARY

By Rodger Jacobs

AVN contributor and long-time staffer Mark Kernes is in a mad dog froth over a satirical piece that appeared on the electronic pages of Set Go.com (“Porn Raids Catch 300 Illegal Workers.”)

In the October 24 online edition of Adult Video News, Kernes asserts:

“Gossip columnist L-ke F-rd, under his current pseudonym "Deep Under Cover," used the recent bust of Wal-Mart stores by federal immigration agents to allegedly slander adult entrepreneur Eddie Wedelstedt, his company Goalie Entertainment, and —— most importantly to Wedelstedt —— the Eddie's Kids Foundation, the charitable organization which Wedelstedt founded to arrange for poor and abused children to attend sporting and other events.”

The article in question, a virtual cut and paste re-working of an Associates Press story about the raids on Wal-Mart stores, was indeed in dubious taste but Kernes, who often pontificates on legal issues concerning the adult entertainment industry in a manner suggesting he may have napped through a few pre-law courses, really needs to think before he bites.

The word you are looking for, Mark, is libel, not slander.

Libel is a three-pronged monster. Let’s break it down:

(1) The writer must publish an untruth about another person in a manner that is meant to be believed by others;

(2) The object of the author’s words must be damaged in some fashion;

(3) To distinguish libel from slander, the publication must be in some form of permanent impression, i.e., a book, photograph, illustration, magazine, web site.

DUC’s satirical article meets all three criteria, although it is hard to believe that Mr. Wedelstedt, as he asserts to Mark Kernes, had his phone “ringing off the hook from people who can't understand why I'd refer to these kids, whom I love and whom I've devoted so much effort to, as 'retards. It's a good thing they know me well enough to know that I'd never even think something like that, but when they saw this article, they were confused and outraged.”

Anyone who has been anywhere within sniffing distance of a newspaper or a news broadcast within the last 24 hours would have recognized DUC’s article as a painfully unfunny but Constitutionally protected satire of recent events.

Now, for the education of Mark Kernes, let’s take a look at an even more relevant legal ruling regarding slander versus satire. That case, of course, is the famous Flynt Publications, Inc. vs. Falwell. This was the case, you may recall, wherein a Hustler parody of a magazine advertisement asserted some pretty nasty things about the esteemed right wing evangelist.

A jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia found the parody did not amount to libel because of the high bar the courts set for public figures such as movie stars and politicians (and, yes, Eddie Wedelsedt is a public figure). These people cannot recover damages for libel unless a “reasonable person” would have thought that there was a “factual assertion that the depicted behavior actually happened.” The jury was not convinced, therefore, that a typical person reading the satire would have thought that Jerry Falwell really did bang his mother in an outhouse.

The jury did, however, believe that Flynt had “intentionally inflicted emotional distress” on Falwell and award him $200,000 in damages.

On appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case on the First Amendment question of whether a public figure can recover damages for libel and intentional infliction of emotional distress based on a satire, even a vicious satire.

The high court ruled in Flynt’s favor, finding that under the First Amendment, an obvious satire or parody of a public figure remains protected speech, even if it causes emotional distress to that person. The Chief Justice wrote that “robust political debate encouraged by the First Amendment is bound to produce speech that is critical of those that hold public office or those public figures who are intimately involved in the resolution of important public questions or by reason f their fame, shape events in an area of concern to society at large.”

Even court conservatives like Rehnquist endorsed the ruling, stating that satire, even grossly outrageous satire, has a long and important history in America.

So, get those kids back on the bus and quit yer bitchin’.

A FAMOUS MALAYSIA READER OF THIS COLUMN (BNAI AMELAK)
WRITES IN DEFENSE OF L-ke F-rd

This would seem to be the perfect opportunity for Fred
to branch out from his patent thing into something
more glamorous, but in his absence, I will opine as
follows. (I speak not as a member of the bar, but as a
careful reader of various Sunday supplement articles.)

1. Anyone who couldn't figure out that this was a
satire, when you said it was, when you threw in that
stuff about hauling the kids down to Gitmo, is himself
likely mentally challenged. Of course, mentally
challenged people can often be quite violent.

2. Your bigger legal problem, should it arise, is
violating Associated Press's copyright in the
underlying story. You may have used it to concoct a
parody, but of what? Of whom? Not sure this is fair
use.

3. Your other problem is that I just don't see how you
can continue to maintain the fiction that you no
longer earn your keep through porn, when this and so
many other articles clearly linked to your name tell
the world just how you make your money. You are in
the porn game. Is this what one expects of a man who
has undergone an authentic conversion to Judaism? If
it is not, then how can you continue to be regarded as
Jewish? And if you are not Jewish, what are you?
Certainly Dr. Pierce had his doubts.

4. The issue of a porner (or a dope peddler or a
gangster) trying to launder his reputation by doing
"good" is worth exploring, even if in the form of a
very lazy and near-plagiaristic exercise in "satire."
Intellectually, this is your best defense. You were
using satire to explore the use of defenseless
children to burnish the reputation of a man or a group
of men (do these men belong to a group that rules the
world?)who have defiled many a virginal Christian girl
in the name of lust and profit. Why should they be
permitted a free pass?

5. Send some top quality hookers my way and I will
make all of this go away by bestowing upon you a form
of blanket immunity. I don't see why you continue to
refuse to pimp for me, when you are making your living
in porn, spreading lashon hora.

DUC Tells All: Why I Wrote That Eddie's Kids Article
2003-10-26 05:53:11
As I go about the porn industry, I am often shocked and offended by how badly the retarded are treated. Frequently they are pushed in front of cameras, and have the bejeebers boffed out of them.

The plight of the migrant dildo worker also oppresses my soul. I've seen first-hand how the strain of pouring lubricant into plastic bottles can cause Repetitive Stress Syndrome.

My heart bleeds for the hardy souls who product test blow up dolls. It's such a soul-destroying career.

When I heard about the sweep of illegal immigrants at Wal Mart stores across the nation, I wondered, could this happen here in our beloved porn industry? What could I do to warn pornographers of the dangers of hiring illegal aliens? Would this not be an appropriate time to use a current event, phrased in the impersonal manner of TheOnion.com, to alert our good leaders about a pressing concern?

Then I called a porn girl and spoke to her for many hours until we were both thoroughly silly. I told her about my Goalie Entertainment story (I only chose that chain because of its respected standing within the community, because Eddie W always dedicates his awards to those who toil in his stores).

My girl had been drinking. It was beer number ten, I believe, for the evening when she surfed over to setgo.com and said, 'Ohmigod, Eddie's Kids.'

This immediately reminded me of the plight of the differently abled. When I was growing up, we called them "retarded." Then, in the 1980s, I remember we called them "handicapped."

I thought about how we separate the differently abled from the rest of society as though they were terrorists to be shipped off to Guantonomo Bay. My heart bled for their suffering and I thought warmly of the good work that Edward Wedelstedt and his supporters do with their "Eddie's Kids" program.

I wanted to draw attention to the program, to the suffering of those who are differently abled, and so I wrote a story that mocked, not Eddie's Kids, but our own callousness, our own lack of empathy for the less unfortunate.

I also wanted to draw attention to the plight of Al Qaeda suspects in our custody. Are we not treating them like retards? As Fyodor Dostoevsky says (as translated through Tom Zupko), you can tell a lot about a society by the way it treats its retards, drunks, pornographers and terrorists.

If what I wrote was miscontrued so as to appear to poke fun at Edward Wedelstedt, Goalie, or Eddie's Kids, then I, the entire staff at setgo.com, and the complete Adult Internet community apologize.

I've worked in and for this industry for many years and all I've ever wanted to do is uplift people. Yes, you've seen me on porn sets, but only ever to rescue fallen women from the clutches of evil pornographers.

Over the past seven years, I've rescued 38 fallen women and returned them to their weeping families. I've also engaged in intense one-on-one counseling with many of these depraved souls. Sometimes, all they need is some genuine affection to show them the right path.

Please call me The Missionary.

I'm like a light on the hill that won't be quenched.

I talk truth to power.

Eddie's Kids Burn Down DUC's Hovel
2003-10-26 19:13:51
Waving torches, singing songs, a crowd of furious Eddie's Kids satirically burned their way into DUC's hovel Saturday night.

They dragged Deep Under Cover out of bed, dressed him down about the finer points of First Amendment law and libel, then figuratively nailed him to a cross composed of made-in-China sex toys.

Afterwards, Eddie's Kids went to another sporting event.

"My phone's been ringing off the hook from people who can't understand why I'd refer to these kids, whom I love and whom I've devoted so much effort to, as 'retards,'" Goalie's Edward Wedelstedt told AVN.com. "It's a good thing they know me well enough to know that I'd never even think something like that, but when they saw this article, they were confused and outraged."

"We in the adult industry have finally got a program that is so wonderful for children across the United States," Wedelstedt continued, "Literally, 70,000 kids a year are taken care of by the Eddie's Kids organization, and it's good for these kids. It's something that we care about from our hearts."

"This has nothing to do with the adult industry except for the fact that the wonderful owners of these companies put their money up with me for the benefit of these kids, and to see something like this happen — for that man to call those kids 'retarded,' it's just gone way too far. We're going to have to get our lawyers involved in this thing; it's as simple as that."

Captain Kangaroo Lookalike Eddie Wedelstedt Indicted

From the Denver Post:

The indictment is laced with titles of porno flicks too racy to print and detailed allegations of how Wedelstedt dealt in cash. On one occasion, he is accused of flying to Dallas in a Learjet and going to one of his regional offices with an empty black bag. When he left, it was filled with cash, the indictment said.

The indictment detailed how the businesses, supported by arcades where customers could watch pornographic movies in private booths, dealt in significant amounts of cash.

Wedelstedt also kept large amounts of cash in a safe at his home and in safety deposit boxes, the indictment said. He is accused of conducting transactions in such a way that the enterprise's true revenues were obscured.

When I interviewed law enforcement sources about the porn industry, from the FBI to vice cops to ex-prosecutors, I was routintely told that Eddie W was the most dangerous American pornographer and that I should not mess with him.

Porn distributor Edward Wedelstedt admits guilt in obscenity, tax fraud case

DALLAS - Goalie Entertainment owner Edward Wedelstedt pleaded guilty Friday in Dallas to a federal obscenity charge, agreeing to forfeit three adult bookstores in Texas to authorities as part of his plea agreement.

Wedelstedt admitted one count of distributing obscene material in exchange for a 13-month prison term and charges being dropped against his wife and their company, Goalie Entertainment Holdings, Inc., as part of the plea bargain.

According to public records listed below, Wedelstedt owes the IRS millions of dollars. Could some smart lawyer accountant type explain to me the significance of all the liens against Eddie W and his complicated holding structures?
