- Credit Scott with maybe just a *little* knowledge of the underground;
- maybe he was a bit hyperbolic, but I have found previously some
- excellent reasons to listen to what this man says.
- I also *strongly* doubt that his motive is to drum up business for himself
- by making such a statement to the press. Mr. Chasin has a lot of motivations for
- what he does other than the purely monetary.
