fantastic and compelling journalism

I'm so glad at least some of the truth around this con artist is finally being told. fantastic and compelling journalism was done. this really speaks to the inequities and inequalities of justice in America and the world. and what those in power or even fake manipulated power can get away with. I hope someday a measure of real justice can happen. maybe this story and reporting will be what tips the scales of justice.
