Shrout, Winston

The purpose of this board is to track the status of activity, cases, and ultimately the incarceration or fines against TP promoters and certain high-profile TPs.

Welcome to Quatloos!

We'r getting so many new posters I may have to make a standard Welcome message with Orientation Instructions and all that piddling paperwork.

But I haven't yet, so Ill just copy paste the stuff I wrote earlier today for someone else. We don't have rules, per se*, but Guidelines. Such as they are, this kind of sums them up....even if I did write it for someone else. Quit whining, you're lucky to get any Guidelines at all...

Come for the HATJ, stay for the Sovereigns! And if you're into this madness, don't overlook the UK and Canadian sections even if you're not English and don't know squat about Hockey or Molson's Beer. :haha: (that's your first of hopefully many inside jokes you'll find here) I find it one of the most entertaining sections of the Forum, England has so many wonderfully mad people these days.

Guidelines for new people:
Douglas Adams puns and clues get extra credit, don't be a dick, back up fantastic claims with credible evidence and have fun!

* Okay, some people a few years ago screwed up so bad that we did have to get 2 real for honest rules, No Politics, No Religion. No Quarter given on those two.

You forgot to mention that the three penalties for violating the rules are a long session in the comfy chair and a stern talking-to in French.

I thought there was another rule... don't post personal identifying information about anyone, even if public record, unless they post it themselves.

Minor update: the Ninth Circuit has granted the DOJ's motion and dismissed Shrout's appeal, on grounds that "a fugitive criminal defendant is not entitled to call upon the resources of the court for determination of his claims."

The order stipulates that he may move for reinstatement of his appeal if he surrenders to authorities within 42 days. (As I read it, it only covers surrender; he's likely SOL if he's picked up in a traffic stop, for example.)

Not that he isn't SOL as it is, but will be even more so. actually him surrendering isn't likely, since then he'd have to admit to an authority that isn't him and I just don't see it happening, way too much ego, and stoo-pit.

I wouldn't admit to the Molsons. They seem to think that its fit only for cleaning drains and filling your rival's boots with. I don't drink beer, but those who do, in the Canadian Section moreso, are considerable beer connoisseurs and any mention of Molsons that isn't how you made the guy who broke your bike when you were a kid drink it, will be met with derision. Or so I'm told.

I drafted what I thought was a fitting, temperate reply to lurker9000's praise of Molson and Labatt products but then decided not to post it. Why get into conflict with a new poster over his personal refreshment preferences, no matter how misguided? While Molson's and Labatt's share of the Canadian beer market is dwindling rapidly they still hold a commanding market share so obviously the majority of my fellow Canadian beer drinkers approve of their products.

Minor update: the Ninth Circuit earlier ordered that Shrout's appeal would be dismissed if he didn't turn himself in. He didn't, so they did. Assuming he's ever caught, it'll be straight to jail with no appeal of right.

I've been checking social media on and off since he went fugitive. Total silence. The lady he used to do regular shows with hasn't mentioned him in 8 months.

This long of an absence without any news of Shrout, let alone him being detained by the feds, suggests that Winston had a bolt hole prepared a long time ago to hide out in during the remainder of his life. I wouldn't be surprised if he is discovered to be in another country with some of his wealth stashed there ahead of time.

I would fully agree, since I can't for a minute think he believed they would acquit him or vacate the sentence, he had to have been playing it for all it was worth and had it all planned out and ready to go, probably with the help of family. I don't keep up on such, but I understand that Panama and one of the South American nations is quite amenable to fleeing felons with money.

Judge was nice enough to give him two years to prepare.

I bet he’s still in Oregon though.
