In the "it ain't over 'til it's over" category ...
Today (April 18, 2014) I got a call from the District Attorney's office where I filed the complaint. The investigator commented that there had been numerous complaints and that he was contacting all the victims -- his wording, not mine.
In other "not so fresh" world news ...
The judge issued a default judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in at least one non-delivery case. (A default judgment occurs when the accused does not bother to respond or show up in court.) BFL now wants that default judgment overturned. My opinion: When they found out that the legal system does work, even if not quickly, arrogance became fear.

I'll submit my questions for the "town hall" now.
1. Is Sonny Vleisides the BFL employee who signs his emails "Sonny K?" Why the K? Is he intentionally trying to conceal his identity even more than just using V?
2. Did Sonny Vleisides found the company or is he merely an employee? The following quote makes it sounds like he is simply one minor employee:

...we're a robust company with 22 employees. One of them has a colorful background in offshore libertarianism.
3. To be clear, is that employee with the "colorful background" Sonny Vleisides? If so, I am not sure "offshore libertarianism" is a fitting euphemism for the crime for which he was convicted. The victim statements in the affidavit posted by blakdawg are incredibly depressing.
4. Of those 22 employees, are any of their names: James Ray Houston, Rex Rogers, Dennis Emmett, William Cloud, Henry Walther, Scott Henry Walther, PJ Swink, or Michael Swink?

So defrauding people for millions is just a colorful background in offshore libertarianism? The realty is he is a convicted felony and Josh might want to sell him out now before it is too late.
