Jim,

"I think not" is not a statement of fact, it is one of opinion. Since I had not previously seen this individual's name previously involved in the investigation, I perhaps incorrectly assumed that he did not cooperate with the investigation.

I can certainly choose where I get my chips. For someone who is involved with chips on an ongoing basis, I would think that they would want to support the hobby with membership in the Club. If they don't want to, that is there choice. I will also choose not to do any business with them.

Finally, we are talking about "white collar" crimes here. The people who appear to be nice in order to get what they want. They are the scam artists, the accountants, lawyers, brokers and others who gain trust by being nice and then take off with everyone's money to South America or somewhere. My point is that being nice doesn't equate to ethical behavior. Does anybody remember Eddie Haskel from Leave it to Beaver?
