I'm hoping he's just in hiding from those who would extract revenge on him. Smart to lay low if that is the case.
If he stole money then he should get what he deserves. I hope that's not the case, and I honestly hope he's safe someplace just off the grid. I'd rather be in this country than Mexico and owe someone money. That's for sure.
I chatted with him online before he went off grid. I have nothing to add really other that he seemed to be searching for a place to hole up in Austin. I didn't have a lot I could offer, but gave him a few potential contacts. I never heard from him again.
Hippy Joe but he got a hair cut, put on a tie and went corporate. Brad but he's doing his thing and hanging out in Steelers bars now. Tom (who sucks) but he pops in now and again.
