Well said Rick. My real name here too, and I too have a professional reputation at stake.
I too knew BB well enough. I attended a couple of his IGS seminars, a workshop at his house and engaged in a couple of business transactions, which ultimately resulted in termination of our relationship, both personal and professional.
I had no knowledge of deeper problems, however my wife, who is very intuitive, never trusted him. I will leave that at that. I too will wait for more conclusive evidence before making any judgments.
Rick, I look forward to seeing you again at Healdsburg, as well as any of you who want to talk guitar, and only guitar.
