Seth Eisenberg A Troubled Genius

He has been accused of fraud, sued by his parents and chased by creditors he owed hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now Seth Eisenberg, 45, leads a nearly $5 million, taxpayer-funded program to teach South Floridians to maintain happy and healthy marriages.

 

Eisenberg's Momma

Eisenberg mother, Lori Gordon, made him CEO of PAIRS International in 1996. She oddly sued her own son over wrongdoing at PAIRS, but says it was an attorney's mistake.

 

Eisenberg's Rap Sheet

•A 2003 lawsuit filed by a former employer who accused him of fraud, stealing business leads and hacking into company computers.

•A related 2003 arrest on a charge of unlawful computer access that was dropped after he went through a pretrial program for people accused of a first offense.

•A 2001 lawsuit filed by his parents, who tried to evict him from a home they owned. Eisenberg and his parents reached an undisclosed settlement and say they have put the disagreement behind them.

•His bankruptcy, filed in 2005, when he owed creditors more than $350,000.

PAIRS Is Non Profit And Receives Government Money

Eisenberg said he now makes $90,000 a year administering the grant, which PAIRS received as part of a nationwide pro-marriage initiative promoted by President Bush.

Tara Wall, spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Heath and Human Services Administration for Children & Families, which oversees the grant, said that as long as PAIRS is running the marriage programs effectively, the background of its managers and employees are not an issue. 8

 

Glowing Endorsements From Fellow Zionists

When he is not working with PAIRS, Eisenberg volunteers, coaching youth sports and, in the past, working with homeless children, he said.

The father of Daniel Wultz, a Weston teen killed in a terrorist bombing while on a trip to Israel, called Eisenberg a "miracle maker" who helped his family cope with their grief. Eisenberg also helped them establish a foundation to honor Daniel's memory.
 

Liars Impugned His Integrity

Rick Case Automotive Enterprises accussed Eisenberg of padding  his salary by falsely taking credit for sales leads. Police arrested Eisenberg and charged him with unlawful access of a computer system. The report said he hacked into Rick Case's computers after being fired and e-mailed important business information to competitors.

The charge against Eisenberg was dropped after he completed a pretrial intervention program for people accused of a first offense. 

A  Turbulent Marriage

After attending Indiana University, Eisenberg married and moved to Israel.  In 1995, Eisenberg filed for a restraining order against his wife, saying she attacked him in bed. In 1997 they divorced.

Back On Top

In 2005, he declared bankruptcy. He owed his creditors $358,213 — including $53,296 to his mother. Today, Eisenberg is back with PAIRS, overseeing the nearly $5 million program.
