Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wincenworks" data-source="post: 9067517" data-attributes="member: 7038835">More accurately the probability is impossible to calculate - we don't have all the facts, we don't know all the players involved and we can't see the future.  It's possible Justin could get off purely because all the authorities at the time have bigger fish to fry, it's possible he could get charged purely because someone decides he's going to make an example out of that naughty word whole nearly rear ended him with a fake tank.The main thing that is observable is that Justin continues to escalate his risk (the likelihood of something happening) and his exposure (the possible consequences when something does happen), this is a pretty standard pattern with people who think they're untouchable and is often a major cause of their downfall.I myself once worked for a guy who got arrested specifically because he went to a conference where he knew all the people he'd stiffed for millions would be and where law enforcement would definitely be watch, and then all those guys he stiffed got arrested because he turned snitch on them over their shared wrong doings after they'd kept carrying on like nothing had happened.Hubris is truly an amazing thing to watch in slow motion.Kind of. There's a meeting coming up on 24 July 2023 where Justin, as officer for TSR LLC, must answer to all his creditors in bankruptcy court and in that they're entitled to ask him questions like:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Are the copies of Dungeon Crawl being sold owned by Mick or by one of your companies?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When did they change hands?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What kind of agreement was made? How did you negotiate to get the best outcome for creditors?</li> </ul>The judge will weigh Justin's answers and decide if he's satisfied that everything is above board.To be honest, this is likely to going to be a drop in the bucket compared to Wizards of the Coast asking questions like:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When you began the lawsuit against us, what factors made you reasonably believe the company would be able to remain solvent while doing so?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Do you consider it responsible to run up all these costs for our company, then to declare yourself the sole major creditor?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Why does Star Frontiers: New Genesis not appear on the list of assets you own?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What other products do not appear?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Why did the web site used to declare the entire hobby shop inventory to be owned by TSR LCC?</li> </ul>Again, it will be up to the judge to determine the validity of Justin's answers.</blockquote>
