Hendrickson indicted

[Dr. Caligari]

Hendrickson has no possible defense except the Cheek good-faith mistake of law defense.

It is virtually impossible to assert a Cheek defense without taking the stand.

If Hendrickson takes the stand, the prosecutor can ask him about his prior mail-bombing conviction.

Game over.

[Judge Roy Bean]

For those who know him better, is he a flight risk?

As a Michigan resident, if this is likely to occur, I am going to have to take time off to head over to the courthouse to see it in person. I wonder if I will see our good friend Mr. Bulten there?

This is great news and I can't wait to see all the gyrations and verbal machinations that will accompany this from PH and the Crackheads.

I've noticed that PH hasn't posted anything in over a month on the LH forums and wonder if there is any connection.

Now, when is the 6th Circuit going to squash his appeal in the refund suit?

Stand by for exploding lost-heads.

The 6th Circuit already ruled against Hendrickson, although I believe he still has a motion for reargument pending.

It is hard to scam the rubes if you tell them you are being indicted for the very thing you are palming off on them for money.

I don't know about that. There are countless stories of TPs who didn't stop making ridiculous TP arguments when they were indicted; why should they stop believing in Pete because he was?

If anything, it could be a short-term boon for Hendrickson. He could do the Larken Rose-style "The IRS has dared to indict me! Witness the sheer power of CTC as I defeat them in court!" thing.

"And send money"

Bally's charges. We do it for free.

Wow. That's remarkably similar...

The indictment announcement has hit the LH forum:

I'll be printing the page to PDF when it changes so I can have something to laugh at when he wipes it from the forum.

Edit: Actually, it's hit twice: http://losthorizons.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1101

Now, all of a sudden, the entire losthorizons site is down - as of 4:17 eastern time (3:17 pm central, 1:17 pm pacific), Thursday, Nov 13, 2008.

Just a temporary situation (?).

How conveeeeenient!

[Famspear]

I did manage to PDF both threads that disclosed Pete's indictment.

In the thread entitled "Hendrickson indicted?" - a user called "smudge" in Ontario, California simply posted a link to the DOJ announcement.

A user called "Tparty76" in Ohio responded with:

This sucks so bad. I hope Pete chimes in to let us know how he feels about this. This really sucks.

In the other thread, the one entitled "Has anybody else seen this? Hopefully Pete will chime in." - a user called "pdy" also posted the link to the DOJ announcement, without comment in the body of the post. I didn't see any responses.

Gosh, it's too bad losthorizons started having technical issues -- right at this very difficult time for Pete and his followers.

Now, who could have caused that web site to go down? Who was it? Whooooo could it POSSIBLY be? Oh, I don't know, could it be -- maybe it was........

Satan!

[Demosthenes]

It's back up.

[Famspear]

OK, I found at least one page on the site that still appears to be working......

Oops, Demo beat me to it....

It seems intermittent, and could simply be an overload of the server caused by:

1. Quatloosian ghouls going over to gloat;

2. Crackheads logging in to bemoan their fate;

3. Admin (i.e., Hendrickson) working to erase/suppress any negative messages; or

4. Any combination of the above.

Yes. Even when the site is working, it takes a long time to respond when I try to click from one page to another.

The Hendrickson indictment. Pretty garden-variety, ten counts of filing false docs per 26 USC 7206(1), felonies that carry 3 years and $100K fines.
