the sec is easily the most badass part of our government in the last 20 years. they're publically untouchable since people love watching the rich get lynched and if they want you, they usually get you. and they're happy getting someone just like bob who isn't realistically the person making any real decisions but having the highest profile. i mean, miliken did hard time for basically doing something there wasn't a precedent for, but had the bad luck of doing it when s&l's and gordon gecko were worse than aids. if jkp gets on their radar, it's trouble. i'm curious about whether redlight/pxp would hold up to some scrutiny by them and the irs. there's something fishy about the supposed owner of a company being told by that guy bill on adt what she'd need to know about the replication/mastering process for discs. luke dug up a bunch of stuff on dion's brother and his involvement in gambling in the carribean and i'm tempted to believe most of it. while you don't need to be traditionally erudite to run a business, dion came off as a marginally literate goon fresh from incarceration and at the end of the day, i doubt he's capable of running a business that size legally. when you think about steve hirsch, chris mann, our own jeff steward, etc. they're not bear-stearns polished, but inherently bright guys-the kind of people who could credibly run a major production company. you got the sense dion was hunting and pecking to type, no legit financial institution would sign off on stuff to someone with an aversion to multisyllabic words fresh out of the can from drug trafficking, so it all had to come from his brother. that means there's been one owner from day one....
