I am actually more concerned with what I read about the Securities
violations. Sam seemed to lack any good judgement back then and apparently
flaunted the law and continued violating a Federal Court order. That
concerns me.

I'm also disturbed that Sam still has a picture of 2 naked and apparently
underage girls on his web site. Poor judgement, once again.

All reasonable concerns. Let me pose another concern:

Do you really think that if, for example, the USCF were seeking a major
sponsor, say, a major corporation, and they did due diligence on the
USCF -- such as running basic searches on its Executive Board members
-- they would still want to work with the USCF after finding Sloan's
website, criminal record, and securities history?
