The company freely admitted that Rick Blackburn (Gary Richard Blackburn actually) participated in the same lawsuit as Keith Maydak and his wife...that is not speculation at all.
What IS speculation is whether or not we are to believe that is just a coincidence. I have seen far too many coincidences so far to keep brushing them under the rug.
Hopefully I am proven wrong, and everything is just a bundle of odd chance events...but I am starting to doubt that more and more every day.
