Abstract

. Cisco Systems Inc. is tangled in a legal dispute with two former customers who allege that Cisco salesmen were engaged in extortion, conflicts of interest and making death threats. Two companies set up by former Cisco salesmen, Kevin Bennett and Vincent Rotondo, allegedly received $2.5 million apiece last year in 'distributions' from Worldwide Web Systems Inc. Cisco alleges that the funds have to do with a big sale of equipment to a third firm, American MetroComm Inc., arranged in part by Mr. Bennett and Mr. Rotondo, and financed with loans from Cisco Capital. It is alleged that each time Cisco Capital made a big loan to American MetroComm, within a few days, Worldwide Web Systems made a big 'distribution' to Mr. Bennett, Mr. Rotondo and other shareholders. Worldwide owner Frank Valdez alleges that when, in 1999, he tried to terminate the arrangement, the two threatened him and his family with physical violence. Cisco has filed suit against Worldwide and MetroComm, seeking repayment of the loans, and has filed arbitration claims against Mr. Bennett and Mr. Rotondo.
