IM syndicate gets unwanted attention.
Maybe they can get assraped lessons from Moe before they go down.

Holy cow. So do I have this correct, if Kern, Filsaime, Bacak, Brunson, et al. are found to be a true syndicate, then each person of that syndicate can be charged with racketeering? Yikes! “Under RICO, a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any two of 35 crimes—27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes—within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering. Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count. In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of “racketeering activity.” RICO also permits a private individual harmed by the actions of such an enterprise to file a civil suit; if successful, the individual can collect treble damages.”
He's built quite the cult following on that blog... trouble is there all losers (he being the biggest) and there's no way to monetize.

We, simply by nature, always have groups of friends that we'll help. But to say that they're all connected is as ridiculous as Moe trying to take down Jon and Ryan.
