Even more so, since his reputation is being slandered here. Please let's not pile on here until the dust settles.

If you are not a customer of his, IMHO you do not have the right to pass judgment. I asked him directly what was happening long before he sent the bulk email and he told me everything. A crook does not do this.

I can assure you that I am confident that he is doing the right thing. Based on what I have seen, I don't feel the need to put my own hat into the ring with my own attorney. Call me naive, but I think this guy has a lot of integrity and I will continue as a customer with his company and I plan on adding more funds to my account as soon as this fiasco is resolved.
