Here is one bottom line: The FEDS don't waste their time chasing around people because they were "mean" or "jerks" to empoyees or girlfriends or ex-wifes or past patrons of a nightclub. They usually spend their time going after people who have done some truly bad things. This isn't 1940 where you could influence a Gov't official with a little juice and they would put the squeeze on whomever you wanted... there is a little more oversight preventing that. It looks like this person or people did some illegal stuff and now have to pay for it. The other sideline stuff is just gossip, which won't impact the FEDS' investigation. You get busted you pay the fine - big or small. You beat the rap, you are back in business. The FEDS know it's nothing personal, it's just business.

Here is the bottom line boys and girls...and Ex's - ex-employees, ex-wifes and ex-girlfriends: Your opinion doesn't matter either way in a court of law. Neither you, nor this newspaper nor I can change the reality of what has or has not happened. These people can be great or horrible in one way or another, but it won't matter once they enter into court - because the law (and FBI and IRS) only cares about the facts of the case - not YOUR opinion. So, if you break the law and get pinched, you only have yourself to blame, not this paper or people you may have rubbed the wrong way in the past. More money, more problems.
