And to add insult to injury, this "Judge" commands a higher price than other judges.

Every once in a while, the
wrongdoing by a judge gets significant media attention and the wrongdoing is so egregious that fellow judges feel they have to do what's right for a change. This just happened with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth District. The appellate court found that Judge Royal W. Furgeson was wrong to do what he did to Jeff Baron.
Jeff Baron is an Internet pioneer who, at the age of 32, invented a technology in the early days of the Internet to make it easier to register Internet domain names. Jeff quickly became successful. His business was profitable and made money.
But today, Jeff Baron does not even own the shirt on his back. Tens of millions of dollars have disappeared due to the actions of two federal judges and a small army of unscrupulous Texas attorneys.

Judicial Activism Goes Berserk

Wow! When the people who you hire to protect you legally conspire to fsck you over legally, you’re really left with nothing but your life, and I’d imagine they could arrange something to take that too.
What a disgusting story. I hope this judge’s accounts are seized and paid out to Jeff and he’s thrown in jail for the rest of his natural life with his corpse used for fuel in a generator for one of Jeff’s future business ventures.

Sure—when was the last time a judge did any time or was made to make any restitution. They are as corrupt as the politicians they are in bed with. It would like a bad doctor being disciplined(losing his license) by a sitting board of doctors. It just really doesn’t happen unless there have been a LOT of deaths.
I must say that it says a great deal about American’s trust in the Legal system that Judicial crimes like this are not protested violently. ie, Hanging from a lamp post or some such, heaven knows that the founders of this nation would certainly have considered such a form of redress to be appropriate.
I wonder how much longer such restraint is going to last?
Before anyone jumps to conclusions, read the opinion that went along with the 5th Circuit’s reversal of Judge Furgeson’s Receivership Order. the internet pioneer guy may not be such a little boy scout after all.
The opinion:

Did you read the topic’s linked article? It’s long, and links to another long article. It’s confusing,but it seem the judge and the pornographer really screwed this guy over. The judge took the guy’s checking account, car keys, telephone, and absolutely everything else. The guy is not allowed to work, and not allowed to hire a lawyer. The lawyer he has is working for free, because he’s not allowed to hire an attorney. The case is very convoluted. I’m slogging through your link, but may have to wait until the morning to finish it. Things to do this evening.
sounds horrible.
However, the only thing that’s clear to me is that he was a cyber squatter.
What’s unclear is what motivated the judge to be so cruel.
I read the article you’re referring to, or at least most of it. It is so one-sided, I knew there had to be more to the story.
Now, in the opinion I’ve linked to, you’ve got the opinion of a 3-judge appellate panel agreeing on a factual and procedural narrative that shows that Baron was constantly switching lawyers, stiffing the old ones and firing the new ones. He was also making a lot of effort to frustrate efforts to implement a settlement of the underlying litigation. It all became a transparent attempt to drag the case out and entangle the case with lawsuits by the lawyers who didn’t get paid.
I’m not saying that the porno partner did right or that Baron did not get a raw deal at some points along the way. But, at the same time, the trial judge’s order, though excessive, was not made out of the clear blue sky without any misconduct on Baron’s part.

There are definitely rogue judges out there, and a lot of dumb ones and yet others who have no business being a judge because of a lousy temperament, poor work ethics and any number of other character defects that have no place on the bench. But Furgeson’s receivership order was excessive, but not evidence of a corrupt judge or process.
