[QUOTE="Wincenworks, post: 9065396, member: 7038835"] As is commonly the case with these matters, the potential criminal aspects are not his direct business details but rather his attempts to weasel out of them - increasing the risk constantly with the assumption nobody will care. [B]Most likely:[/B] The bankruptcy has some potential charges, depending on the appetite of the trustee and FBI, which could involve actual prison time depending on the circumstances, the amounts involved and how far things progress. If he claims those bad debts on his tax returns and then is found to be dishonest about them - then the IRS may very well consider it to be on like Donkey Kong. [B]Least likely:[/B] Perjury over his submissions in the WotC. Even the ones where he is clearly lying through his teeth, courts are really reluctant to push for the charges - particularly in a case where the party already lost the action - purely because they don't want to create excessive anxiety over supplying evidence and testifying. [B]Mid range:[/B] Contempt of court for breaching the protective order, or other crimes relating to the ongoing harassment of Don Semora. It will depend on the findings of various parties and appetite to push for it by them. With all these matters, the wheels grind slow so... who knows. But that's just the story to date. One of the major issues here is that with TSR LLC folding, WotC should win the initial suit on default - however they are still free to continue with the counter-suit (which is much, much higher stakes) as long as there is a party still standing to sue - so there are plenty for potential for Justin to continue and escalate the matters. As I said, he's used to getting away with petty naughty word - but he's off the map now. [/QUOTE]
