I notice some forum references to Laissez Faire City (LFC) and Sonny Vleisides. For the record:
1. LFC was started by Sonny's father in the mid-nineties. In 2002, LFC investors were concerned about the way LFC was being operated, and hired me as an outside auditor to investigate. My audit uncovered fraud and embezzlement. Despite threats from Sonny's father and his associates, I published the audit report, and personally saw to it that the fraudulent operation was permanently shut down. I did much of the work without payment as a service to defrauded investors. The audit report is archived at

I've never owned any of those domains. The only LFC-related domain I owned is lfcfa.com which I created for the purpose of the audit, and still own to preserve the historical record.
3. I don't know much about the 2007 mail fraud case against Sonny, beyond what can be gleaned from internet searches.
4. I am not connected to Sonny or Butterfly Labs.
