History

Around 1990 she wrote and article for Regardie's, a magazine that covered the Washington business area about Feld Entertainment. The CEO of Feld, Kenneth Jeffrey Feld hired for $2.3 million, Clair George to wiretap, bug and spy on Pottker.

Standing there was a man she'd never seen before, a private detective who introduced himself as Tim Tieff. He told Pottker, a freelance writer married to a senior government official, that he had a discreet message from Charles F. Smith, a former top executive with Feld Entertainment, owner of the Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bailey Circuses, Disney Shows on Ice, and other subsidiaries that make it the largest live entertainment company in the world. |work=Salon.com |date=August 30, 2001 |accessdate=2008-08-04 ] [cite news |first= |last= |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Send In The Clowns |url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/19/AR2005111901467_pf.html|quote=The tale begins on a summer day 15 years ago when CEO Kenneth Feld opened his copy of Regardie's, a slick magazine that covered the Washington business scene. He turned to Page 44 and began reading a lengthy article about himself. It was written by Pottker, a freelancer who had once interviewed him for a book about corporate heirs. Headlined "The Family Circus," the piece began flatteringly enough, portraying Feld as a hands-on executive committed to providing quality entertainment. |work=Washington Post |date= |accessdate=2008-08-04 ]
