ok ..my post was pulled for giving patterson some benefit of the doubt and a sense of his perspective, so let me put it this way...

what the hell was patterson thinking? how can a guy of his reputation and education think he was going to get away with patents and a $350 million blackmail payout? he doesnt seem that stupid...it just makes no sense at all, therefore there must be something there that im missing. or some major facts that have yet to be exposed...otherwise he took a massive risk and its currently blowing up in his face. this could end his career. and it doesnt help that i trusted the guy.
