I think the above is why Ken Breen spoke of the membership and possible further action. I would not be surprised, if this trial results in a guilty verdict on the RICO counts, that asset seizures may be that further action. So, there may be quite a large group of people who have quite a bit riding on what the jury decides.

I agree with Pluvia that Breen is unnaturally and dangerously obsessed with this case, and that he's blown it all out of proportion. The chief bad guy should be Royer; after all, he's the one who betrayed his agency for personal gain.

As for the RICO charges, we'll see. They're notoriously difficult to prove. Not so long ago Les Price of MDMN got off scot free on charges arising from the Bermuda Short operation. I don't think anyone who'd followed Price over the years doubted that he was in fact guilty.
