Hey Gary!
I am guessing that it was just an outcrop of the stockreporter investigation. The bigger fish here, unfortunately for us, is probably Johnson. I am guessing that they got his employee, Ms. Gardner, to agree to testify against Johnson in exchange for this lenient settlement. It also appears that Skinner has already cut a deal to disgorge some of his ill-gotten gain, and possibly pay a civil penalty, probably in return for his testimony against Johnson too.
As for the entire Q family, it has been drastically reduced. Fortunately, there is still me and my son, and that is a lot.
I hope your NCAA brackets did better than mine this year. See ya round.
