I don't think false allegations about honorable people should be allowed to be posted without proper findings. "Gerald of FL" is a woman with a vendetta against sidney camper and as such is being sued. The internet can do a lot of harm to honest people but dishonest people such as "Gerald of FL".

he could not have done this by himself. who are the people who helped him? why do i not know their names? how did the regulatory agencies allow this to happen? where is ts money? why is his family left with millions, if not billions, of dollars.
