Mighty hollow, anyman. Mighty hollow. If that's the best you can do, then you might as well bow out of this discussion, because you sure aren't helping Danny any.I could try again: Are you denying that PPPA paid Danny royalties for sales of Danny's PPPA booklets, or are you denying that Remnant paid Danny anything for sales of the PPPA booklets to 3ABN?Which is it?

You don't come across as if you're trying to discuss this intelligently.The PPPA contracts that are a part of court record state quite clearly that PPPA was to pay royalties to Danny. Therefore, you are incorrect in denying that PPPA paid royalties to Danny.Simpson admitted that Remnant made payments to Danny for sales of Danny's PPPA booklets to 3ABN. Therefore, you are incorrect in denying that remnant made payments to Danny for sales of Danny's PPPA booklets to 3ABN.Thus, you are wrong.
Publisher [PPPA] will remunerate Author [Danny Shelton] by paying royalties .... seven percent (7%) of the wholesale price for all copies sold.
Their "evidence," however, is not evidence as much as a web of guesswork and speculation that begins and ends with the assumption that the payments were kickbacks. The reason they must be kickbacks, say the Defendants, is that the booklets for which royalties were paid were at one time published by a different publisher at a lower cost. Defendants say "the only logical reason for such an arrangement is that it was a kickback scheme." In other words, Defendants' logic goes, moving to a higher cost publisher is proof of a kickback scheme because they can't think of any other reason for it.
No facts manipulated there. It's the truth. And you know it. But this isn't the first time or the first place that someone has felt you were being less than straightforward.
Gee...you think??? Here, Here...!!!But, Bob, are you suggesting that Ronnie was mis-informed? And I wonder who would do that at 3ABN??? Or was it sourced from lawyers?Gailon Arthur JoyAUReporter
No, I didn't lie. That word suggests that I knowingly told a falsehood rather than made an honest mistake. And the facts are the facts. Simpson said what he said, Remnant paid what it paid, 3ABN bought what it bought, PPPA paid what it paid, and Danny did what he did for year after year.And Walt Thompson, rather than put his foot down, helped to enable some of the corruption that took place.

Folks, if it was kickbacks, the IRS would have had a big problem, and both DS and 3abn would have been in trouble, but it has been a couple of years since they investigated both 3abn and DS, and it should be abundantly clear by now for even the most doubtful among you that they found nothing of the kind...

It is indisputable that it was kickbacks.
If the IRS felt that those kickbacks were private inurement, then the presence of kickbacks is evidence against the mere assertions of Gerald Duffy, Ronnie Shelton, Danny Shelton, and Walt Thompson that the IRS found nothing.
It also suggests that the allegation that there was a huge payment made to the IRS along with a consent decree is in fact true.
