Heavy stuff indeed what they filed against Grushkin.
Alone for (6) violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse there are many cases that ended up in prison with 4 years. If E.G. will be found guilty on all points I think there will be more than 10 years to be served. Comes to it, that the past of E.G. will not be considered favourable by the court. The only open question is; will he deliver some names to get a reduction. Time will tell.
But of interest actually is something else. We have seen and still see wild allegations – although if one looks at it deeply they are wild but with no beef on the bones.
Now, every legal mind of course would be asking the following questions: If S & B would think of something, which was not done properly, why would they not have settled through arbitration? If S and B would have done something E.G. could have discovered, why did they fight for the case not being dismissed? And if E.G. was so sure about his allegations (actually only 1 of substance: Wells Fargo Account / Star Queens. , why then he asked for the case to be dismissed?
Well the reply to all of this is clear: S and B were right not going for arbitration, would have send a wrong signal. S and B were right to put him on trial and did not respond for E.G. plead to have the case dismissed. Would they have agreed to that, a certain stigma always would have been on the table. And finally they were right to fight against E.G. wish, that the case is moved to another court.
With reference to Eric: What becomes clearer day by day:
E.G. realized that he had nothing of substance in his hands. He realized further, that during his working period, he signed off for everything. He realized that the payments to Star Queens have an explained legal background for which he signed off as well.
Somehow, he realized by himself or with the help of his lawyer that the case is lost and who told him: I cannot defend you. Withdraw the case (did not work as we know) or let’s try to move to another court to get a more favourable treatment. (did not work either as we know)
