There was a Japanese furniture maker who traveled the world and settled in Bucks County, PA (can't remember his name; he died not long ago). He used large slabs of hardwood for table tops. Some of these pieces developed cracks as they dried. He would inlay a piece of wood shaped like a bow tie (a butterfly) across the split to keep it from enlarging. The repaired table top was more beautiful than if the flaw had never existed.

Huttoe's fraud has cost us money and pain. But I would suggest that the deepest crack is to our sense of trust. Society is utterly dependent on trust, so much so that we often take it for granted. Deception and lies are a deep threat. This thread has become a butterfly set to counter further spreading. Six thousand plus messages. Perhaps, if we remember both the fraud and the trust rebuilt among people who have never seen each other, we will be stronger than we were before.
