This appears to be the website but there is no content.

And this legal stuff is confusing to non-lawyers. The civil litigators among us may appreciate the significance of a special verdict for fraud and of a punitive damages award but odds are most N54 readers don't.

I don't agree with that, Adam, although of course I am just speculating. But my gut tells me that if there was a civil verdict for fraudulent market manipulation and punitive damages against someone named KG, or BH, or a host of others, people wouldn't be too confused to discuss it. I think it has much more to do with the identity of the individual involved, whether because he is out of the hobby, or for other reasons.

Maybe some of the people on the board actually know the facts of the one allegation that went to the jury and are shocked the jury got it so wrong.

Are you referring to yourself?

And still nothing From Peter Nash. Why is he not taking a jab at Lifson? Why is he remaining silent?

I figure the time that the jury spent hearing the case and deliberating outweighs my cursory glance at the facts.

So yes, he's guilty!!
