Truthseeker is coyly baiting you something fierce and it appears you're just not seeing it. There are two bans involved here. The ban from this thread and the ban from this site. Jeff reports that Tony asked that Patch be banned from this thread, presumably by emailing the moderator. I have no way of independently confirming this, but I've never known Jeff to say anything he wasn't certain was true. So unless Jeff says otherwise, I'll consider it more likely true than not. SI itself banned Patch from the site, and there was NO external influence on that decision, as is true of all such decisions. To my knowledge, nobody asked that he be banned and though those kinds of requests are frequently made, all they accomplish is getting Dave to look at an account. The request itself is never part of the resulting decision no matter who might make the request.

BAD NEWS LOON, YOUR ADVISOR JAILED. CHEERS LOON AND HAVE A SAFE AND LOON FREE HAPPY HOLIDAY Last updated December 21, 2007 9:36 a.m. PT Fortune teller pleads guilty to scam By TRACY JOHNSON P-I REPORTER A 79-year-old fortune teller who was a fugitive for eight years pleaded guilty Thursday to scamming a dejected Seattle woman out of $220,000. Sophie Evon pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree theft, agreeing to factors that could increase her sentence: that the victim was vulnerable; that she abused the victim's trust, and that the crime was sophisticated and involved a large amount of money. She faces three to nine months in jail when she is sentenced in King County Superior Court on Jan. 4, but Deputy Prosecutor Scott Peterson will recommend an 18-month prison term. Evon stole the money in 1999 from a 26-year-old woman who was sad after a breakup with a boyfriend. Evon and another fortune teller offered to cleanse away evil spirits by praying and burning leaves, and manipulating the woman into handing over money from her elderly parents' life savings. Evon was on the run until October, when she was arrested in Calgary, Alberta. Her accomplice, Sylvia Lee, received an 18-month sentence in 2001.
