"See what ending the campaign and moving would be for you, see what the numbers are..."

That's the voice of Randy Wildrick, the sales and marketing director for Bates Troy offering Micah White, founder of an anti-Bates Troy campaign, money to move from the area and take down his site.

White secretly recorded around 30 minutes of conversations with Wildrick, and said his offer simply wasn't right.

"I think what they did was definitely unethical. They offered me money to move out and stop the campaign. Is it illegal? Probably not. But it is unethical," said White, who's lived at his current Mendelssohn Street residence for about two years.

But there's another side to the story.

Wildrick claims the tapes have been doctored, and that White in fact had made mention of his desire to move several times. Further, Wildrick claims White was the one who asked to move ahead and to take his offer to Bates Troy management. Wildrick stands by his decision to make White an offer as a private citizen.

"That someone would take that and record a conversation, edit the conversation, and then misrepresent it with a total intent it seems just to attack someone, that's unfortunate," said Wildrick.

White played for News 10 Now what he said is the original audio file of his conversations with Wildrick and claims no editing took place. He believes Bates Troy management was behind the offer and said the recordings prove it.

"I think the management will consider it. I didn't get into a lot of detail with them about what it will require," said the one of White's recordings of two conversations he had with Wildrick.

Bates Troy general manager Tom Singh said he and the company were unaware of Wildrick's actions, and they neither sponsor nor condone what happened.

Singh and Wildirck also say they may consider legal action against White for posting the conversation online.

For his part, Wildrick said he's disappointed in how White acted.

"Micah chose his course of action. He knows I was helping him as a private citizen and as a friend. Trying to solve a situation. And I'm disappointed he chose this route," Wildrick said.

White said he plans to present the city with a petition from people in the neighborhood next week to ensure Bates Troy follows noise ordinances.
