I'm off to go sailing, but my point in starting this thread was to bring up the fact that as an industry, we are way too used to being overly complacent until the 11th hour, so to speak.
It's been a year since the original proposed changes were released, and while everyone had to know that something was coming down the pipe, very few did anything to get themselves at all prepared.
When I say I talk to people that have been on the short end of the DOJ prosecuting stick before, I should use the listening.jpg image.
EXACTLY what one of them told me would happen is EXACTLY what did happen. The DOJ would get everyone into an uproar, then back off for enough time to get everyone back to thinking they were above the law or above the cold, skeletal clutches of the law.
Then they drop the bomb on you.
What makes anyone think this is any different? Hell, I'd bet that Justice isnt anywhere near having the cases they want against their original target list. But I also bet that target list didn't change at 12:01 am today.
If you aren't compliant today, and you take this as some sort of stay of execution, you're crazy and probably stupid. A 7 year old can take a screen shot, what makes you think the DOJ can't or won't?
There's an old saying about giving someone enough rope.
I certainly hope the DOJ isn't hanging a number of you with their deal today.
