I think a brilliant course of action is to disarm the opposition by creating doubts. I wouldn't go back to my side because that would be too easy and would never have the full effect of quelling the subject completely. All I need is a plan. The plan would be to find one or two easy targets.

I would first find someone that would qualify. That someone would probably be someone that seems to have fallen the most for the conspiracies, respected among peers, and listened to by other players. They must have the need for attention and respect - but yet honest to some degree. I would test that someone. If they pass the test I would then go to phase two. Spend some time researching the individual, watch their actions. On to step 3.

Contact.

I would then use my unique gifts of persuasion. This would be easy to do because they must have gullible qualities. I will be affable, likable, and believable. They will be too star struck to ask the hard questions. I will convince them. Since they liked to be included and want to be at the forefront of the game, my work is simple. How could I make them feel included? Let them feel like they got the insider scoop, by giving them my inside scoop as I want them to see it.

Now instead of having to answer to the sharks whence I came, I can let that doubt propagate and fester on the opposition's side. The lackeys on my side from the beginning that began to doubt - would see this and fall back into the "I believe" syndrome because they see the opposition falter.

Brilliance.

Brilliant is right; that sounds like what someone (not necessarily the felonious Andy) did to speed_addiction.

My own faith in speed_addiction remains solid; he is after all human, not perfect.

covering his tracks, or attempting too?

Makes lots of sense. But for one thing-- If I were an Undie donator (or someone else looking into this), I would still want to see proof of the money raised versus money paid to JH. So, while he might buy himself some time by quelling doubts-- like someone posted earlier-- "show me the money!!!"

I agree. This is BBB Bev's former right hand man we're talking about.

Whether she scammed DU or anyone I do not know. The DUmmies (including Andy) and many others think she did. And so far she hasn't done anything to dispel that slanderous notion.

So, I'm coming from the BBV Bev was scammimg allegations, okay, so who was her right hand man during all the alleged scamming? Why it's the illustrious Mr. Stephenson.

And nobody at DU ever makes that connection. If Bev was scamming, her right hand man and travel buddy wasn't?

I still don't think this is over. Not by a long shot.

I think we have a winner!

Total disinformation mucking things up.

We are looking for the truth, not Undie vindicating himself over the telephone! Cripes. Let's get back on track.

I posted a similar view earlier. If I wanted to get rid of the doubts, I wouldn't go to Skinner or Pitt. If one of them verified the story, there would still be people here and in DUmmie land that would doubt. No I would try to convince someone on the other side. I would contact someone. I think it was S_A because of the fact S_A made the comments about jail time. I, if I were Andy, might start to get worried reading that. Even though, we might feel that S_A wouldn't betray a contact, Andy might think he could use his persuasive skills to get something to slip. Even if I don't succeed, I have planted the seed of doubt that my opposition will read and my follow DUmmies. (Of, course, when I use pronouns, I am pretending to be Andy and I am not really a DUmmie plant. Although, would you know?)

Note: S_A, I know you are just reporting what has been told to you and I don't believe you are purposefully misleading. Maybe what was told to you will prove on the up and up. I still think my theory holds as to why it was you.
