Patrick: His conviction in 1990 was a plea bargain, not a conviction in court. Surely you have heard the phrase "pleading guilty to a lesser charge"? Minor drug dealers plead guilty to possession of narcotics; that way, the police don't have to reveal who their undercover agents were who bought from the dealer, and they accomplish their end of stopping, or at least slowing down, the person who they think is a bad guy. If all he was really guilty of was holding, then I doubt he would have pleaded guilty in a plea bargain to much more than jaywalking. My point in my note to him yesterday, which I obviously should have made clearer, is that I have absolutely no reason to believe that he is PRESENTLY a drug dealer, and am NOT calling him one now, nor have I. What he did then is ancient history, and completely irrelevant to what he has been doing to investors for the last two years. Don't worry about him wasting his highly valuable executive time posting anything here. He will never be able to justify DHMG's figures. They are indefensible.
