Bourque Industries Inc (BORK)

[gotmilk]

Correction: FALSE "Also seems like John Bourque and Carol J. Condon will both do prison time."

So now it really is all about money. (see below)

John Bourque and Carol Condon need cash for lawyers. But if they lose the civil action against them, then the money they must pay to the plaintiff will be atrocious (... when the entire transaction was rejected, no money was refunded to Plaintiff, leaving her liable for millions of dollars to the buyer of the goods.)

Guess this will put a fire under John Bourque and Carol Condon to make a deal they choose not to in the past to have Bourque Industries become successful. (i.e. John Bourque would have to relinquish his majority share holdings.)

1. This is a civil action for fraud and racketeering activities, breach of contract, conversion, and unfair business practices.

What Is the Difference Between Criminal Law and Civil Law?
https://www.britannica.com/story/what-is-the-difference-between-criminal-law-and-civil-law
Criminal law deals with behavior that is or can be construed as an offense against the public, society, or the state—even if the immediate victim is an individual.
Civil law deals with behavior that constitutes an injury to an individual or other private party, such as a corporation.
Criminal law and civil law differ with respect to how cases are initiated (who may bring charges or file suit), how cases are decided (by a judge or a jury), what kinds of punishment or penalty may be imposed, what standards of proof must be met, and what legal protections may be available to the defendant.
In criminal cases only the federal or a state government (the prosecution) may initiate a case...
In civil cases cases are initiated (suits are filed) by a private party (the plaintiff); cases are usually decided by a judge...
... punishment almost always consists of a monetary award and never consists of imprisonment
