I think it totally sucks what happened to Dave. I would be furious if I were him.
Also, the more that comes out, especially with some revelations today, the less sympathy I am having for some "friends" in the business.
As I told the authorities today, I hope every damn person in this hobby, who has committed fraud of any kind, gets their punishment and is forced to pay restitution. Some things in that article really pissed me off and I don't mind saying it. The hobby is still a great place but I sure hope it gets a lot of cleaning up this year. Something tells me there will be some bombshells going off in the not distant future. Maybe not imminent, but I would think certainly in the next year.
As an aside, the cleaner folks will reap the rewards of not being bad people. Sometimes I almost feel like it's going to end up being "the last man standing" wins.
