You are right that there are many facets. As i said on the last thread, the idea that this is the continuation of a feud between ben and myeku is a pretty amusing interpretation of things. We had no idea we were being used as pawns in this great internet clash. LOL
All I know about Vreeland is that he was wanted for years by the US and Canada for scamming people. When they finally caught him, he called Andy from prison. At least that's what Andy said.
Vreeland claims to be Naval intelligence and caused a mini-ripple by claiming a nuclear attack was imminent on Election Day.
That didn't happen.

It was my impression there was a "sex angle" to the Vreeland story, too, but it slipped right by me.
The Red Round One also pushed that bit of hysteria over on DU.
