DOCKET NO.
COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, T.H.E. FINANCIAL GROUP, LTD., through its
counsel, Mette, Evans and Woodside, and brings this Complaint before the Court, in
support of which it avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff, T.H.E. FINANCIAL GROUP, LTD. (hereinafter "T.H.E.
Financial"), is a Pennsylvania business corporation with an office at 1 Kacey Court,
Suite 201, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055.
2. T.H.E. Financial does business in Cumberland County as a registered
investment advisor and stockbroker.
3. Defendant, STEFAN F. STRIFFLER (hereinafter "Striffier"), is an
adult male residing at 588 Benton Court, Harrisburg, Dauphin County,
Pennsylvania 17712.

, .
4. By written agreement dated September 8, 1997, T.R.E. Financial
employed Striffler to undertake investment transactions with respect to securities
and insurance products. A true and correct copy (excluding schedules) ofthe
September 8, 1997 Employment Agreement (hereinafter "Agreement") is attached
hereto at Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference.
5. Pursuant to the Agreement, the term of Striffler's employment was
one year, commencing on September 8, 1997 and ending on September 8, 1998;
provided, however, T.R.E. Financial reserved the right to terminate Striffler's
employment at any time in the event that it deemed his services to be
unsatisfactory. (See Agreement at paragraphs 1 and 3.)
6. Under the Agreement, Striffler's compensation was determined
according to a precise written compensation schedule, a true and correct copy of
which is attached hereto at Exhibit "s."
7. According to the Agreement, Striffler "shall be entitled to receive as
compensation for his * * * services an amount which is equal to the applicable
percentage in Schedule A attached to this Agreement of the total amount of the
gross commissions actually received by Broker during the applicable payment

period on account of investment transactions effected by Professional." (See
Agreement at paragraph 4.)
8. Under the Agreement, T.H.E. Financial and Striffler "establish[ed] a
regular draw against such compensation to be payable to [Striffler] on a semi-
monthly or as otherwise agreed-upon basis. * * * A reconciliation of compensation
owing to and the draw(s) received by [Striffler] * * * shall be made at least quarterly
if not sooner." (See Agreement at paragraph 4.)
9. In the event that Striffler failed to attain commission levels sufficient
to warrant the payment of his base draw during any given "reconciliation" period,
then, "the draw [Striffler] receives for the following period shall be adjusted to
reflect such difference." (See Agreement at paragraph 4.)
10. The parties further agreed that a "final reconciliation" of Striffler's
draw with his gross commissions would be made when the Agreement terminated,
at which point Striffler would pay T.H.E. Financial "any excess draw received
within ten business days of such reconciliation." (See Agreement at paragraph 4.)

, '
11. T.H.E. Financial terminated Striffler's employment on November 30,
1999 as a result of his unsatisfactory performance.
12. Pursuant to the Agreement, a final reconciliation was made by T.H.E.
Financial which demonstrated that Striffler had drawn $3,237.81 more in
compensation than what was due and payable to him under the compensation
schedule. A true and correct copy ofT.H.E. Financial's final reconciliation is
attached hereto at Exhibit "c" and incorporated herein by reference.
13. T.H.E. Financial has made a written demand upon Striffler for
payment of the unearned compensation (plus interest), but Striffler has failed and
refused (and still refuses) to pay the same or any part thereof. A true and correct
copy ofT.H.E. Financial's June 6, 2000 written demand is attached hereto at
Exhibit "D" and incorporated herein by reference.
WHEREFORE, T.H.E. Financial Group, Ltd., demands judgment against
Richard C. Striffler as follows:
