Dave Portnoy is currently doing God’s work at Barstool Sports by raising over $18 million and counting for small businesses who have been negatively affected by the pandemic. Meanwhile, all the critics who tried to get him deplatformed this summer because he sang Ja Rule lyrics in 2015 have given nothing and done nothing to help small businesses. To get money from him businesses just send him an email, explain their situation, and he doles out the cash. However, this has opened the door for con-artists.
Yesterday Portnoy announced Barstool was giving money to a limousine company out of Plymouth called Special Occasion Limousine. Here’s the email owner Diane Dockery wrote to Portnoy:
My name is Diane Dockery and I own Special Occasion Limousine in Plymouth MA. Yes a woman owned business in a male dominated industry! In 2009, after 22 years at my job my boss left his position which left me with no job, it was the beginning of the recession and I was having a hard time getting another job. So, in a stroke of genius I decided to open a business… during a recession….with no experience…… that was fun. But Plymouth is just far enough away from Boston that people don’t want to drive to the airport, so I decided a car service would be a good idea!! Plus, Plymouth Rock Studios was set to open in Plymouth also and I was the only limousine service in the town at that time so I thought I was onto something big.
Plymouth Rock Studios never came to be, but with ALOT of hard work Special Occasion Limousine grew. We went from 2 cars to 33 cars (sedans/suvs/vans/limos/mini buses). I have worked every single aspect of this company (except for mechanical work) I will get out of my bed in the middle of the night if I get an emergency call from a client and do whatever needs to be done. The first 5 years I didn’t collect a paycheck, but around 2017 my company really took off!! I have a great client base, many clients are on a first name basis with me and when they call in we play a little catch up on each other’s lives before we get to the business of the reservation.
My staff is amazing, my operations manager has worked for me for FREE since March when the pandemic hit. YES I SAID FREE. He is amazing and so wants us to survive this pandemic. My drivers are like family to me, and many of them have worked for me for years, a few from the very beginning. I have very little turn over on staff. They count on me and I count on them.
Anyway, I am down 90% in my business and I’m hanging by a thread as of now. I’ve lost over $850,000 this year compared to last year. My funds are totally depleted after a very long 10 months. The work isn’t coming in but the bills are. This past year I lost all proms, all concerts, all sporting events, all bachelor and bachelorette parties and almost all weddings. My airport work went from 50 jobs a day on average to weeks of no jobs at all, we are now at around 5 jobs a day. My staff is on my payroll and has been. But without some help I don’t know how much longer I can stay open. Car loans, car insurance, workers comp, rent for my business location, all these things keep coming in.
I could very much use some help, its tough to ask for help when I’ve always been self sufficient all along so forgive me if this rambles. Thanks for your time, and God bless you for doing this. Even if I don’t get picked, its awesome to watch the videos of those who do because I know exactly how they feel and seeing the relief in their faces is amazing. I am pretty sure my video is attached below…. I hope, lol.
Happy New Year.

— Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) January 4, 2021
The “female business in a male dominated world” pitch worked well for her, since he mentioned it was why he was choosing her.
Diane’s husband Tim Dockery is a big supporter of her business on Facebook.
At a board of selectmen meeting last year he was listed on the agenda with his wife as a representative of their business.
I only bring this up because Tim Dockery was indicted three times by the Attorney General’s Office in 2017 and 2018 for being a corrupt political hack for the MBTA.
On February 26, 2018, a Suffolk County grand jury handed down additional charges against a former Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) procurement official. The indictments, which resulted from a joint investigation by the Massachusetts Inspector General’s Office (OIG) and the Attorney General’s Office, allege that Timothy Dockery, 51, of Plymouth received over $200,000 in illegal gratuities from a construction company that performed work for the MBTA. The indictments further allege that the same vendor also paid to install an in-ground pool at Mr. Dockery’s home.
In March 2017, Mr. Dockery, a former buyer for the MBTA, was first indicted for procurement fraud, larceny and receiving more than $90,000 in illegal gratuities from MBTA vendors. (See OIG Joint Investigation Leads to Indictments of MBTA Procurement Official and Construction Contractor, March 2017.) In June 2017, Mr. Dockery was charged with additional counts of fraud, bribery and illegal gratuities involving two additional MBTA vendors. (See Additional Indictments Brought in Case Against Former MBTA Procurement Official, June 2017).
Mr. Dockery is charged in the new indictments with two counts of accepting illegal gratuities. Taken together, the three sets of indictments allege that Mr. Dockery received over $300,000 in bribes and gratuities.
He accepted over $300K in bribes and got a free pool out of it.
He was also the management’s union President, and kept working in that capacity despite the first indictment.
THE PRESIDENT OF an MBTA union is facing charges that he used his position as a buyer for the agency to submit fraudulent invoices that netted him more than $100,000 in cash and kickbacks, according to Attorney General Maura Healey’s office. Dockery, who has been on leave from his buyer’s job while serving as union president, was suspended when the indictment came down. His buyer’s job gave him responsibility for procuring and overseeing contracts related to non-inventory items, such as office supplies and smaller construction contracts.
“The criminal conduct alleged in this indictment by the head of the T’s largest management union is very troubling, and it strengthens our resolve to continue bringing reforms to the organization,” acting General Manager Brian Shortsleeve said in a statement. “There is no evidence to suggest that any other MBTA employees were involved in the alleged wrongdoing.”
According to prosecutors, Dockery, 50, had a deal with one vendor to help him with procurements and projects and, in turn, Dockery received at least $60,000 in kickbacks off contracts worth more than $1.8 million since 2011. In addition, Dockery allegedly submitted phony invoices totaling $38,000 for money left over in procurement contracts and split the cash with the vendor. The unnamed vendor, who was not indicted, has entered into an agreement with the attorney general’s office to pay back his half of the stolen money, prosecutors said.
In the procurement fraud scheme, prosecutors claim Dockery created fake quotes to make sure Sheridan was the low bidder on a construction supplies contract. Dockery allegedly inflated Sheridan’s bid so that it was just under the fake quote and “created the illusion of a competitive procurement process,” according to the attorney general’s office. Sheridan also allegedly created and submitted fake quotes from other non-existent companies to ensure he was the low-bidder on another contract.
This asshole’s scheme was complicated, organized, and pre-meditated. And before anyone tries saying, “Yea, but her business has nothing to do with his crimes,” just know that her business also benefitted as part of the bribing process.
Prosecutors also allege Dockery received more than $30,000 in illegal gratuities from two other unnamed vendors, including high-end sporting event and concert tickets, lunches, and goods for Dockery’s private limousine and coach business.
This happened in 2017, the same year she said her business “really took off” in the email she sent Portnoy.
“The first 5 years I didn’t collect a paycheck, but around 2017 my company really took off!!”
On top of that, in 2016 he was listed on the Secretary of State’s website as Vice President of Special Occasion Limousine.
After being indicted in 2017 he was removed.
But they’re still together, he’s still actively involved in the business, and is clearly a silent partner.
It would appear Dockery’s scheme was organized and pre-meditated. He used his position to enrich himself and his friends, and although at this time we’re unable to find any records of a disposition, the mere fact that he was indicted three times speaks volumes. I reached out to Diane for comment, but she would not provide an answer because the public indictment was personal.
She claims her husband is not involved in the company, but he was prior to the indictment, he will benefit from the funds, and as recently as 2020 he was acting as a representative for the company at town meetings.
Apparently all you have to do is send Dave Portnoy an email and he seems to just randomly pick who gets $500K.
Are there not more deserving businesses than this one? He might as well have rang a dinner bell for every crook and con-artist if all he requires is a girl power email to get the cash.
Additionally, he said that businesses are only eligible if they pay their employees throughout the pandemic. But Diane herself said in the email that one guy was working for free since March.
My staff is amazing, my operations manager has worked for me for FREE since March when the pandemic hit. YES I SAID FREE.
Does anyone actually believe that an employee voluntarily didn’t collect a paycheck for 10 months? Is Tim the operations manager? I feel like these are questions that should be asked before handing out half a million in cash.
Dave Portnoy’s heart is in the right place and he should be commended for what he’s doing right now. In many ways he is a victim here. But at the same time when you raise $17 million and counting you have a responsibility to make sure you have a solid vetting process so that you’re not handing money over to criminals just because they pulled the “woman owned business in a male dominated industry” card. If you donated to this fund would you want it going to Tim Dockery’s legal fees? If you’re gonna do something like this, then do it right.

How much government SBA money did “she” get that doesn’t need to be paid back?
This is pure bullshit from more sleazy crooks.
Massachusetts state connected thief’s. Home of the Sweat Heart deal. Look at that pig Tim Dockery. He probably buys his coke from that other disgraced State union thug Danna the Dick Pullman from Holden.
You should just call Dave and tell him how bad you want to suck his little peen. You’re such a pathetic little simp it’s not even funny. Dave has enough cheerleaders. I’m sure he does not need a grown man who sits in his wifes basement sniffing adderall and stalking people on Facebook to root him on. God youre pathetic. Get off the internet and go HELP your wife take care of your kids. That was one of the funniest things you have ever said. That is like when dudes say they need to babysit their own kids. what a fucking joke. I dont know how you got a job as a teacher. O wait I do, it was because of your mommy but you fucked that up for sexually harassing an underaged girl because of her politics this was before you became a rhino. You fake as fuck conservative! A former teacher that cant write for shit! yous says yous edeabacated lmao. You definitely got picked on and bullied in school and I can see why. You’re not as smart as you think you are ole chap. You’re smarter than most but as dumb as the rest.
I love how you portray yourself to be this high pillar of moral but you destroyed property in a bitch fit and got arrested for it. No one who was ever arrested for dumb shit deserves a second chance no one but you right little potato man. I truely hope someone open hand smacks you across the face back into reality. You’re just as bad as that little bagle man but at least hes got a few inches on ya. Little vertically challenged man.
We all know you’re super jealous of the half witt dave!
This article and the negativity it is soliciting is a prime example of why Turtle Boy will never measure up to Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports.
It could not be more transparent to anyone who is not biased or jealous. Shame on you!
Diane Dockery is one of the most charitable, decent, generous women I know. She is hardworking, honest and has more integrity than most. No one deserves this more than her.
Targeting her business in an effort to dismantle a charitable act by your competitor is despicable and destroying a reputation of a family in the process.
Finally, I have seen lots of “alleged” accusations against her husband from 4 plus years ago. I don’t see a conviction or guilty finding. Accusations are easy to make but much harder to prove.
We are in a national pandemic and Barstool Sports is doing their part to support local businesses while Turtle Boy works to destroy them. Disgusting. Unlike all of the cowards who commented negatively about the Dockery family I am using a real name with mine.
Hi Diane. We would take you seriously in your self defense if you didnt have the bulldyke haircut.
No need for damage control on your self. No one here is going to care or listen to what you say. You should give that money back so it can go too a business who really needs it. Your pool house is bigger than most people’s homes so you dont need that money you fucking crook!
GIVE THE MONEY BACK OR WE WILL MAKE SURE YOURE CANCELED.
Your name again? Oh that’s right…you aren’t giving one. You are a coward and you are a disgusting human. I bet it’s Aidan.
The fact that you allow people to post without verifying a name and email demonstrates what a farce this page is.
Lisa,
With all due respect, you have been taken by these two con artists. I’m sure you are friends with them, but do you really think the Massachusetts Inspector Generals office, Attorney Generals office, the MBTA, and a grand jury were all mistaken with Tim’s three sets of indictments? Do you think this whole joint investigation by all of these agencies is false, that they are all morons except you, Lisa? All of these highly educated people from these agencies must be all idiots according to Lisa Morgan. These other companies that were involved that reached plea deals with the Commonwealth, were they also wrongfully accused? The fact that Tim was fired by the MBTA Union as union head and by the MBTA? Did you ever stop to think why he is no longer associated with the MBTA or the Union? He was terminated! Do you think they are fools or are you the fool for believing Tim and Diane’s BS? by the way, you should visit them at their new house in Puerto Rico! Where did that money come from?
Of course I know the Dockery’s. I wouldn’t speak to Diane’s character if I didn’t know her firsthand. I don’t speculate and form opinions based on accusations. She is everything I said she is. You will not change my mind because I know her. You obviously do not.
As for the allegations made against her husband Tim; he was indicted based on accusations. None of those allegations have been proven. If people have taken plea deals well maybe they were guilty and that makes them not credible witnesses to anything in my mind. I would not trust a word they said. Tim is innocent until proven guilty.
That’s the last I will comment on this matter because I refuse to debate with anyone who can’t be man or woman enough to use their real names. Also I learned a long time ago not to wrestle with pigs. It’s dirty and the pig enjoys it too much. I’m finished with this.
Yah, we get it. You got blown off when you asked them for money because a one person operation didn’t qualify as a small business. Oh well….. do
Barstool is a rarity and awesome to do what they are doing for the little people!
What does that got to do with the price of rice in China?
Fuck turtle for Union Bashing . You people who bash Unions forget we are the vanishing middle class in this country. The gap between rich and poor has never been wider . I like knowing I have a pension an annuity , health and dental . We aren’t dependent on social security upon retirement. I’ve been busting my ass for 25 years doing the worst job imaginable but I thank God every day for it . You know what fuck you haters ,
Do you also enjoy paying your union representatives over 150k a year to do nothing while you do all the work.
You got it Jimmy!! I’ll never regret the 1970s in Cleveland Ohio!! Oh Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling………Keep the faith brutha!!!!
Wait till people find out what a fraud these two are. Good for Turtleboy exposing these two scumbags. They lined their pockets, home, and limo business while he was working for the MBTA on the taxpayer dime!!!! What a country.
If he was indicted in 2017/2018 on three very serious counts, why hasn’t the Attorney General’s office arraigned him yet? What the hell is AG Maura Healy waiting for?
usually masturbating
America is burning, but that’s how forests grow. Now I gotta take of my partner, The Honorable Gabrielle R. Wolohojian. Oh Judgie, where did I leave the strap on?
She be down on a muffin
No shame for this family! Picture of them in front of the pool and pool house they got for free is disgusting! These people need to be prosecuted by the Commonwealth! Hello?
This is only a little light pilfering, give them a break! They’re Democrats, for God”s sake!
Forgot to mention their new house in Puerto Rico! We should feel sorry for them while they laugh in amazement
Celebrities and classy people use limos.
MBTA vendors hiring wife’s limo services for events and having third parties hire the wife’s limos in other situations they barely attempted to cover it up. Portnoy became wealthy but doesn’t know how to keep the money. Some stripper is going to end up with half of Portnoy’s cash and his accountant with the rest of the money and the stripper.
Shove Oh-vuh!
Whose goin tah Southwest? Jet Blue is O-vah thay-ah!
She is a total fake and so is her business. They are both master liars and manipulators. Her vehicles are total crap. I’m sure they will go shopping with all this new found money for new ones. Don’t forget about the second round of PPP money, EIDL money, state stimulus money, etc. these two will be sticking their hand out for as well. Just two horrible despicable people.
Tim Dockery is a thief in your world in the wacky world of the MBTA he is a model employee. Does anyone remember the name of the female manager who stole over one million dollars from the revenue room back in the day and was never charged with theft?
I’m sure all these commenters here are right on the cusp of starting there own Limo business with over 30 vehicles and ….
Oh who am I shitting half the commenters here don’t have a valid license and the other half can barely afford to pay the expenses to keep 1 car on the road.
Fucking comment section full of business experts for sure.
Yes you are the King Commenter. So much better than everyone else. Chances are you were exposed in this blog
I’m sure most of the commenters here are married to a thief. Go play a video game Tinkerbell and then fuck yourself in the ass with a wire brush
I think the DOT should do a full audit on all vehicles. Check for safety and also make sure plates match vin and all vehicles are registered and insured and comply with DOT safety regulations
Whats ur problem asshole? Good reporting on these dirtbags by TB!! WTF u know about one person on here??! U know deeeeep down u got skeletons in ur dungeon. For u to write that first, after reading the article, after reading comments, (BAHAHAHALOL,) u can feel ur insides turning upside down cuz ur life is so bad, terrible, ur spouse is DEF cheating on u, ur in DEBT so badly cant admit it, and u LEARNED TODAY THAT UR STILL A LOSER, EVEN AFTER THAT COMMENT. AND ALSO A FAG
Indicted does not equal convicted. Must be killing AK. El Pres is on Fox news constantly, interviewed the President and he is a fucking mega multi millionaire on his way to being a billionaire as AK begs for crumbs from his “followers”. Face it you underachieved big time.
After seeing Barstool explode he figured if he mimicked their blueprint he would enjoy similar success. Except he doesn’t know squat about sports. God loves the Buffalo Bills more now. While high profile celebs flock to Barstool he scours Facefuck for his fodder.
And here you are, following TB right along with us.
Fucking ladies pool shed looks nicer than my house fuck off begging for cash you fat douche!
Somebody should expose this family to news outlets and FACEBOOK! You have Portnoy, Barstool, Massachusetts Attorney General office, MBTA, a lot of big names that got scammed by this scumbag husband and wife!
Oh really Lisa? Why don’t you name them; these people harmed? You didn’t want to put your last name? Why not?
Is it because you are a coward behind a keyboard. Why anyone would believe you is a mystery…like your real name.
He’s a union guy so I’m sure it’s a union shop. That’s not the cheapest way to run a business but it’s what’s right. No way would a stand up former Union President ever use scab labor.
Damn.. This is how the wealthy stay wealthy, while us actual woman owned business owners in male dominated fields keep our heads barley above water.. Fucking entitled twats.. Oh i have a driving company in a male dominated field, i drive a limo for a living its such hard work , NOT!! This cunt wouldn’t last 1 minute in my construction trade as a female small business owner.. Fuck these asshats ratchets in wealthy clothing
@ I see dumb? What is your trade and are you union? Just wanted to see if I might have worked for you.
Must be a Brew master with a head of barley.
I have a vsgina and I know how to use my mouth. Good ols work on the knees and AA hiring got an incompetent like me into the highest offive in the land Freewdom
Ask the limo drivers what they reslly get paid. Tip included usually means the driver doesnt get it. Many drivers are getting fcked big time.
True dat true dat
I’m probably one of the few who doesn’t follow barstool, but I give the guy creditfor starting something to help these businesses that are going under. That being said, sometimes you just get suck it into giving your money to a loser. It’s chalk one up in the lost column and keep on going. At least turtle boy exposed the shitheads
Hello Mr Portnoy,
My name is Old Tom Morris. I am self employed at my own beer tasting business. My work went from 50 beers a day on average to weeks of no beers at all, we are now at around 5 beers a day. I could very much use some help. Thanks for your time, and God bless you for doing this.
Just tried to post this article in the comment section on Barstool…It was blocked
Why would Dave Portnoy entertain this nonsense on his page? He has more class than TB and the majority of his followers
3k more? Not today.
300k
Play ball
It’s just the cost of doing business in Massachusetts. You don’t even want to know what those procurement guys are shelling out to rent traffic cones from their buddies.
Imagine Aidan thinking Dave Portnoy needs his advice on running things.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Dave Portnoy used the N – WORD!! I demand big tech deplatform him!
I jack off about once a week thinking of Leigha G.
Asking for handouts from a hook nosed date rapist blogger is pathetic. Real entrepreneurs can adapt to the pandemic by finding new ways to use their business and assets to turn a profit.
For example: She could start an onlyfans where that blondie daughter of hers gets piped out in the limos
This old blowser has no shame. Hubby should be in the slammer. The 2 of them have huge brass balls. Dave should do research before handing out money.
Viva La Turtleboy!!!
(TM)
STOOLIES!
I’m a different kid of stoolie in that I love to be smeared with stool during sex.
Please donate to my stool fund!
AIDSDAN is just praying Dave with notice his pathetic ass lol. He blogged enough about Leah and now they are fucking. Now he’s on the question for Portnoys penis. It’s sad kids half AIDSDAN’s age are better bloggers at Barstool. Notice how he treads lightly with Dave but bashes murder victims and people with poor mental health. He’s hoping he gets hired to shake Dave’s dick everytime he pisses. Sad how AIDSDAN will pander to certain types then pretend to “bash” them. Do the world a favor and suck off a shotgun brother.
Which bloggers would those be? Who the hell goes to Barstool to read their blogs, anyway?
Never thought about TB working for Barstool, but considering all the effort he puts in for little to no compensation since most social media sites have deplatformed him or banned his accounts, I’d be fine if he got a sweet gig at Barstool, provided he keeps giving us the same type of content. Same went with Kirk Minihane when Dave rescued him from Radio.com.
All the effort?
Cutting and pasting from FB groups?
If it’s so easy, start your own blog. Start with a blog about your own state rep who, chances are, voted for the latest gas tax, puts in for per diem mileage, voted himself a raise and voted against cops. Cutting and pasting is so easy? So go do it. I gave you an idea for your first blog. Unless you like all those things. Or maybe don’t know how he/she voted which is more likely the case.
SPELL AND GRAMMAR CHECK LOSER!!
I’d like to give his chubby daughter in the black pants ass to mouth in the hot tub.
How much have you raised for other people?
Yeah we get it, your stint as a barnacle on the Barstool juggernaut didn’t go well.
Debbie downer? For pointing our clear fraud? Okay then – you must be new here.
Yeah dumbass keep giving money to Davey so he can randomly send it to strangers on the internet. That’s why I never feel sorry for you people. Sucker born every minute.
