It's a lot of work for the MM. And he doesn't get paid for it. In addition, he takes on considerable liability.

That's why they aren't interested in filing Forms 211 for companies under investigation.

The Axent's are a large ukranian family in thunder bay.. i found a thread on Donald's fathers funeral but can not remember where...

Interesting. I wonder what the original family name was. Makes sense, in a way. I don't think it's just a coincidence that "berry" is "yagodka" in Russian and Ukrainian.
