No, it doesn't look good. Since this is the first cross-border case it's going to get publicity and it will be a test case so they'll probably come down hard.

Being the subject of a test case is never good. They have even more incentive than normal to try and get you.

Karl Bernard got caught, that's all. Doesn't change the fact that he's a decent person and that we all know that we chat with folks doing the same sort of thing every day of the week.

I wish Karl & Co the best of luck, he treated me very well in our business dealings.

I was just going to ask, did Karl sell it or does he still own it?

Evil Chris · 11-05-2005

bah... what the hell is going to happen?
Karl didn't get caught. He's been accused of something that is yet to be defined.
He'll be fine.

If you are making good money in this business , the chances are very good that you are doing something that might lead to you being investigated.

Its an occupational hazard.
