I don't think that's right Barb that there was only one 'incident'. I was under the impression that the fund raising was done in part via Silicon Investor discussions to support refugees in Kosovo. I believe the funds were repaid and Anthony@ paid quite a heap himself and I'm not aware of any complaints from donors but it was my understanding that the Kosovo trip was the one which resulted in the prosecution. I only noticed the 1993 'event' today when seeing what was in the Anthony@ site. Maybe I got that wrong. I read what Anthony@ wrote in his internet site and in SI and would not use another source [other than an actual judicial report] to conclude such thoughts. Obviously one of us has misunderstood the situation. I guess me since I'm not in the cult. You did misunderstand me if you think I meant GSTRF is a good buy because some unrelated third party has got any particular good or bad character. I was merely pointing out the conflict between 'saving the world from bad people' and a conviction for fraud and some unstated felony [apparently related to an insurance payment though it was not clear]. I take the view that if Clinton claims to be have been protecting a Nunnery's chastity in an undisclosed overnight stay, it was perhaps not necessarily the case. Similarly, if a fox promises to take very good care of the chickens, one should decline the offer. It never ceases to amaze me how some people's public stance can be so totally opposed by their private actions. Clinton clutching his bible. Morgan Fahey pretending to be a concerned doctor, good mayor, [a New Zealand doctor convicted of rape among other offences]. The New Zealand Auditor General [whose job it was to guard the public purse] with his hand in the till and subsequently gaoled. I find it hard to take seriously somebody [or their acolytes] who has a conviction for fraud. No, it's not a mirror image [gross denigration]. Some of the Libertarianz here [in NZ] tend to be vituperative in their criticism of political opponents. It seems to be a characteristic. It surprised me to see you in the Anthony@ fold. Abusive denigration [Auric Goldfinger's stock in trade] is not convincing and doesn't sell an idea. Heck, I try for original. I was pointing out that there was a distinct anti-Globalstar 'club'. I didn't realize it until I scanned the Anthony@ hangout. I'm specially interested as to why the Anthony@ guild members who are anti-scam, anti-fraud etc have lighted on Globalstar. A straight short would be fine and as I've explained, a courageous and perhaps sensible investment, but they seem to attribute badness, hype, scam etc to Globalstar for some reason Happy trails, Mqurice
