Federal Judge Puts Internet Pioneer in Civil Lockdown

The Fifth Circuit has reviewed every order — because Baron appealed every order — and affirmed the judge’s actions. The bankruptcy judge found that Jeffrey Baron was guilty of theft of services and that the bankruptcy was a sham to avoid contempt proceedings in the District Court. Mr. Baron has had every remedial process available to him. The most pathetic part was that he tried to buy peace through a settlement agreement. Yes, he signed it, but he never would execute it. He wouldn’t turn over the domain names he stole. That’s why the case is in federal court. The plaintiffs had to sue him to enforce the settlement agreement. And he still hasn’t executed the settlement. He has fought every step of the way.

BuckeyeTexan, you are wrong on everything you've said in your post. There are something like 1000 court filings in this case. If you start to read more of them, it becomes clear that the accusations against this Internet entrepreneur are a coordinated cover up for "taking" (trying to use a nice word instead of "stealing") $10 million dollars from him. Read the settlement agreement and the docs. Baron did execute and comply with it. He paid all of his lawyers, and so on. The bankruptcy judge is in on the cover-up, having secret, closed-door meetings with the other judge and the people who "took" Baron's money. I found this analysis as well: Click Here For Article. It's hard for most Americans to believe, but some of our federal judges are indeed corrupt, and two of those judges are involved in this case. Baron has been forbidden from having any paid lawyer even for his appeals, so its impossible for him (or for the dozens of other companies in that seizure order) to have any semblance of a fair result. There is absolutely no due process here, so what a court of appeals court finds is meaningless (you are also wrong about the appeals court affirming the orders...In reading the orders, I know that none have been affirmed yet). You can't have any justice without due process. A corrupt process without due process always results in unjust and false outcomes. This is a principle that every civilized society acknowledges and a principle very important to our founding fathers.
