    I heard this from an insider about 20 minutes ago, once the Federal prosecutors took over from the MIT complant there was no way on earth to back down. It became a federal offense and the machine started rolling. He was found guilty and they wanted to give him 6 months minimum but he was not the kind of person to be told what to do, what time to wake up and what time to eat. The guy was wealthy as all get out but he didn't even own a car and the Feds could not track him-but they wanted him to be as example to others. He decided to make his life become a higher purpose for all and took his own life. That escalates things to a higher level as it's done and now people are talking about him.

    • I don't know about his lawyer. first thing to you do is to challenge jurisdiction especially in federal meddling.yurimon
    • sounds like someone who reads the newsuuuuuu
    • the governments are working too hard to protect the pockets of the rich, than protect the freedoms of the manyomg
    • "he decided to make his life become a higher purpose for all and took his own life..". what does that even mean? wouldn't be better if he were alive fighting the battle with others?dijitaq
    • he have a better purpose alive? a cop out and hoping others fight for him?dijitaq
