You are referring to this, yes?

According to that piece, the meeting at which the accusations were made took place the Tuesday prior to JUN 19, 2008.

It has been a bit confusing trying to figure out when exactly Carole left CPP. Wikipedia claims, "she left her position as executive chef and co-owner in 2006 citing urgent family matters and other personal interests," according to the current version of the page, perhaps a typo? The articles used as sources are dated 2009 but don't actually specify when Carole left (though they are used as the sources for the claim by wikipedia for the year she left). And one of Carole's own resume profiles claims she was at CPP until May 2010. https://culinaryagents.com/talents/28115-carole-wagner-greenwood

Trying to figure out what really happened just leads to more oddities.

At the meeting, Alefantis did not reply to the accusation. The meeting was packed with his supporters. They made quite a ruckus, and there was no further discussion of the topic. I have the suspicion that Alefantis knew that the commissioner had more than just rumors on the subject.

Well looking at Frank Winstead's youtube channel, it seems he was the sort of person who had no problem filming people if he thought they were doing nefarious or irresponsible things, and his only video related to CPP is just him being upset about literal ping pong by the street.

Like here he films someone for idling in their truck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97D6B-TUsAw

Here he is upset about air pollution from a school bus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neAVFfQa468

Here he is mad about a bus blocking a crosswalk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkd_796fwBU

He kind of has the hall monitor vibe to me. He didn't just ticket traffic offenses. He video taped them and let it be known to the internet that he was out there delivering traffic justice. He does honestly seem like the sort of guy that might go on a full-blown crusade if he was told no about ticketing CPP over the tables or something.

Doesn't mean CPP isn't suspicious as hell for other reasons, but I honestly don't think this Frank Winstead guy had any real dirt on CPP, or he definitely would have used that dirt.
