George L., you've told what you've seen and from your posts on this forum, I'm convinced you are knowledgeable enough to form an opinion regarding the bona fides of what you saw. I'm willing to take you at your word on that.
I can also understand your reluctance to cause possible problems for a friend. I have made my opinion of the matter clear (probably clearer than may have been welcome), but I have not meant to accuse you personally of any wrong-doing. I do think your friend should be careful to avoid the appearance of any complicity with what may be a serious and complicated legal matter. Sometimes people involved with things like this can have a dangerous bent...Geo
