A great summary and important repost.  Rocket and likely you as well were onto something awhile ago.  That was confirmed once the case was uncovered by Clark/surogateson and you began to lay it out in detail for us. 

It's no surprise that the best our LieHub scum can come up with is how nice it is to see that Bob was seemingly scammed.  Well, it sure looks like they messed with the wrong hombre.  And if it's true as I was told, that Bob first met them in Manzanillo as TMT Global, there may well be more to that story as well.

I know we're all rooting for a swift resolution with minimal impact.
