re: Is he (Shepard) still the shadiest MF'er east of the mississippi? Nope. He's from west of the Mississippi. Utah. Imagine that. He was one of the ones the DOJ went after. He and Neldon, as well as Roger Freeborn (RIP). The judge froze all their assets. Lots of stuff still going on in the legal arena. The fiasco is discussed at: https://www.siliconinvestor.com/subject.aspx?subjectid=3984 But, the chatter is a lot more subdued ever since the judge handed down his ruling and demanded $50 Million to be disgorged. The Pumper Patrol has been quite silent lately. Imagine that. Sure is a pretty day. TED
