Did you perchance hear Rufus call Steve an idiot on that interview? Apparently a messy little situation appears on that Humanitarian bond, something about something in Asia. Didn't write the details down from the interview, but believe me the denial of a cease and desist letter was not made by Rufus. His phone went dead just as he said "well just suppose there was a cease and desist..."
"Go to the Dekalb County Online Judiciary site and search for Steven Canady under the criminal case search links."
I find two cases which are dismissed after a period of time. Dismissal is not indicative of innocence nor guilt. Canady is assumed to be innocent, as is Simpson and Blake.
Possibly Canady's attorney made a deal with prosecution, such as repayment in exchange for dismissal. Another valid possibility is charges are without basis, but I have doubts.
If without merit, a person filing a criminal report, falsely, faces criminal charges himself. I have not checked if the complainant is charged.
However, I note felony arrest warrants issued, early on. An arrest warrant, especially felony level, must be approved by a judge after a hearing, sans defendant.
This type of arrest warrant must be supported by serious evidence developed by law enforcement and often presented by prosecution; valid probable cause.
Coupled with securities fraud charges, my opinion is Canady enjoys challenges in abiding laws.
Have you read up on Roland R. Hicks? Rather amusing man, I believe currently sitting in prison. A key name in this RICO case is Adnan Sakli, who is associated with Steven Canady and the bond issues.
