I may not have "all" the info....but I have a lot that I can't post.

I'm not so sure that they accepted what was the best deal for the company as a whole......

Well, that's one of the problems here, nobody really knows all the info to make an informmed decision. Once all the info is out there may be a totally different light on the whole situation. I would like to know what he did to be sitting in jail, but it still doesn't mean his wife and kids were involved. It seems Marty might not of known everything either, that's why he is pissed. Which I can understand.

Why Kreg's in jail?
USA brought federal charges against him for a crime involving the images of minors. He currently awaits trial.

Mr. Donahoe is sitting in jail facing federal child pornography charges.

Follow the link to the pirate 4x4 thread, some of the principals in the sales have posted.

Bad Kreg. Well, that's what put DR on the block, but is it really what caused Marty's deal to go bad ?

No, DR was in financial trouble prior to that.....that was just sort of the straw that broke the camel's back.

He's been in custody since the beg. of Dec.

A previous poster said that what went down was the cost of doing business in America. Thats sad....

As far as Paige's plight, while I do empathize with her situation, Marty did make it very clear that her and her childrens welfare was paramount to the negotiations of this deal.... I hope for her sake that she made a right decision and wasn't misled by some bad advice for someones personal gain.

Bottom line, a man of great integrity was chewed up and spit out by the corporate greed machine... I cannot/will not condone or support such actions as this undermines what used to be considered a virtue in our countries.... morals.

History always repeats itself

Yes Marty,
It is sad to see that those guys forgot the old saying that you shoud always be nice to those you meet on the way up, because you WILL see them on the way down. Kreg used me, as well as many unamed others as steps on his way up, back in the early days. We worked hard, gave good ideas and input to him and he took all the credit. In his company bio, he continued to accept full credit for working hard to get where he was, giving no thanks or credit to the people who made it possible.
Now he can continue to take full credit for being where he is....Jail
Just another story of someone trying to help someone, with a bad ending.
I wouldn't wish this ending on anyone, friend or foe.
I too have empathy for Paige, as she was always good for Kreg.
My thoughts are with Paige and Family.

O'G
