Some are reporting that the DA got involved AFTER Bob tried to pay Lee back with a hot check. This of course is a criminal act - i.e. theft by check. Ironically, had Bob NOT tried to repay Lee he would have forced Lee to handle this in a civil court.

This would seem to be a civil matter. Lee Thompson and Bob Sambol obviously have a difference of opinion on what is owed and on what terms it should have been repaid. Lawyers and judges trained in securities laws will need to review the investment documents and other evidence to determine who is right. Of course, ALL of that will take place in a civil court.

The involvement of the district attorney is CLEARLY an abuse of power and the result of a favor owed and now repaid. By turning this into a criminal matter Craig Watkins or someone on his staff and Mr. Thompson have irreparably harmed a local business owner.

Mr. Thompson isn't some poor widow that was conned by a fly-by-night operator; instead he is a savvy investor and Bob is a well respected restaurateur.

Thanks for the plug. Don't set your expectations too high, we are just seeding the community by casually getting together on a regular basis. I suspect we will hit our stride in the Fall. In the meantime, happy hour get togethers are VERY low risk.
