Having watched the courts drag their feet for over a decade in a commercial case that I’m involved in, I have a very cynical opinion of our legal system. But if that information about Armstrong is accurate I haven’t been nearly cynical enough.
CFTC Lawyer Who Prosecuted Armstrong Was Disbarred Many of Armstrong's writings originated from behind bars in recent years so he has firsthand knowledge of the court system and wrote about it along with his economic outlooks and historical reviews. He was beaten in jail with his/a typewriter which permanently blinded him in one eye and almost died in jail just before release due to delayed medical attention. You can search through his writing
here for his court travails but many times he mixed in his court stories with his economic writings.
