[B. SMITH]

THIS GUY COULD HAVE SATISFIED HUNDREDS OF ORDERS.

A CUSTOMER OR COMPETITOR GETS A "BURR", CALLS SOME PEOPLE TO CALL THE LAW AND ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE.

ACCOUNTS ARE CLOSED AND EQUIPMENT SEIZED. THE BUILDER IS PARALIZED TO FILL HIS ORDERS.

HIS LEGAL ADVISOR PROBABLY TOLD HIM NOT TO TAKE CALLS BECAUSE THE POLICE WILL HAVE STIRRED UP CUSTOMERS WITH THEIR INVESTIGATION AND HE MAY COERSED INTO DAMAGING HIS DEFENCE.

THE MONEY WON'T BE RETURNED TO THE CUSTOMERS BECAUSE THE BUSINESS HAS BEEN STOPPED AND PRODUCT CAN'T BE DELIVERED.

THE EFFORTS TO "PROTECT" EVERYONE JUST STOPS A BUSINESSMAN FROM RECOVERING.

THE OFFERS TO ADMIT THE ERROR OF ACCUSATION WILL BE OF LITTLE HELP.

WE ARE ALL SAFE. YOU CAN'T SEND MONEY TO "FROZEN ACCOUNTS".

I DON'T KNOW THESE PARTIES BUT MANY HONEST BUSINESSMEN AMONG US COULD BE PULLED INTO A SIMILAR MESS.

I HOPE EVERYONE RECOVERS. B. SMITH
