Why don't you call and ask him. Maybe it's time he stand up for what he believes is right. Why did he send ME that info to run with? I make no promises to anyone for any reason unless they ask. He went so far as to even ask for my email address to forward me documents. Wait, I forgot. Why would he be angry? I'm irrelevant remember!
I don't have to call him, i know he's a scumbag just like you. You played on him and he thought he was playing you to do his dirty work. Just like the judge you tried to get fired. Congrats but I suspect the days of people trusting you are over, however naive they may be. You take great pride in exploiting the scumbags in the industry, good for you. Others have more important things to accomplish.
