This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Very informative. Thanks. I'm late to this party. One by domerfromkansas

question, which I didn't see covered in your summary: I read something(maybe here) suggesting that Swarbrick may have been counsel in a settlement that was challenged by a lawsuit filed very recently (I think sometime in 2017) by someone claiming that the earlier settlement was fraudulent, etc. And then I read something that only 4 people knew of that settlement. Does that ring a bell with people who have followed this more closely? Can anyone fill me in on these details? As with many others who have posted here, I make no accusations. I'm trying to determine as many facts as possible in order to reach my own conclusions.
Last point - am I correct in inferring from some of these posts that we're talking (among other things) about the crime/fraud exception to the attorney client privilege?
