It's nice to see all the attorneys willing to work overtime, even if these are non-billable hours, but the reputation of Kevin Saucier won't be tried in Part 54. It will, instead, be tried in the court of public opinion on Net54.
Our standards are lower. Much lower. Even lower than those of Civil Courts. If you make a statement that you have defrauded members of a group and are proud of it, you will likely have a problem with that group going forward. If you further add that your main regret is that you were unable to rope in one particular member, you will definitely have a problem with, at the very least, that one member.
If you then come on the board and say "Just kidding!", some people may buy it. The majority won't.
