Sometimes, you've got to be cruel to be kind. I think this is one of those times, so let me lay it out for you as plainly as I may. I know who ISAC is. I've known some of those people for over 20 years.
I know to a dead certainty that these folks are running on their own impetus in response to things that happened to them all those years ago and the horrifying realization that the same thing is happening to kids now. And it's not just altruism; it's prescience. We (I myself, ISAC members and affiliates and a lot of others who go about handling things in different ways) do NOT want to spend our golden years watching our grand children raised in a world people by psychotics and neurotics like ourselves or where the sadistic bastards who run these programs get a free pass.
Certainly, the more former WWASP clients come forward the better the chances for a favorable outcome for Jeff and Sue. That doesn't mean their case is without merit. There are obvious, plausible and even probable alternative reasons for wanting to contact corroborating witnesses when you're being sued. Ferinstance, the more the merrier for your side because, given the chance, damned near everyone who's not paid to say otherwise will support your arguments.
When it comes right down to it, Jeff and Sue (regardless of what you or I may think of PURE) are trying to get people to come forward and tell what they know. On the other hand, WWASP is spreading around some serious cheese in the form of legal fees, internet hosting expenses, travel, etc. in an ongoing effort to prevent people who know the what happens behind those walls of silence from coming forward with it.
What could possibly be their motivation for that? Can you even come up with a lame excuse for all the letters of demand and other types of threats these lunatics routinely throw around? I've paid too much for things before. Buyer's remorse is not an uncommon concept. But people don't generally go around suing everyone who gets the best of them in a business deal. Why so many and such consistent complaints about WWASP if there's not something to it?
