This is exactly correct. He tried to throw several members "Friends" under the bus and now it is being said it is NOT a KHS matter? Whaaaatever. The fact that several members involved are part of the KHS MAKES it a KHS matter. Those people represent this herp society. Like it or not. And the fact that the potential VP of the society is the person being brought to light in this issue... I THINK that is a pretty blatant point to consider.

Like I said, he is a representative of the group. Listen, if any officer of any public organization had such an issue brought up, they'd be suspended, no? What if somebody on the Board of a non-profit was accused of theft?

Seems they'd want to distance themselves from this, not by ignoring it, but be suspending him. They're complicit, as far as I am concerned.

Why does he need a lawyer? So he can feel better about this theft?

If anyone honestly thinks Ian has an attorney at this point, I have some farmland in Florida I'd love to sell you. Ian does not have anyone's mailing address.....how is he going to have his alleged lawyer "mail them" notification of his/her involvement? Why will he not provide the name or contact info of his alleged lawyer?

He is following the scammer/thief/scumbag textbook to a perfect 'T'......ignoring, shifting blame, lying, bringing other people into his wheelhouse, making them look bad, claims about lawyers, deaths in the family.....I mean come on, this sounds and looks utterly ridiculous. Nobody with half a brain believes him.

I get that he's a member, and by affiliation, some people are wanting to claim the KHS is taking his side. That's not the case, the KHS is trying to stay out of it, hence deletions of posts, etc... I'm not the one deleting posts, but I concur that it's in the best interest of the club to allow them to resolve it their own way without our intervention. I am an officer of the KHS, but as I've said, I wasn't there, I didn't witness it, it's not my place to say either way. People are judging based on opinions, instead of fact, nobody knows what happened other than Sarah and Ian. Regardless of who pays the lawyer, if it's brought to court, they make a solemn vow to speak the truth. I'm just watching to see how it works out. Because he called on friends that are in the KHS makes it a KHS matter? Unless the KHS specifically states that it/we are involved, then it's an outside matter.

Lack of admission to involvement is not equivalent to lack of involvement. Statement of non-involvement is not equivalent to lack of involvement.

Not about taking sides. It's about the organization being transparent. Suspend his position pending resolution.

Honestly, I'm the webmaster for the KHS, it'd take a vote to suspend his position, and I don't hold the reins of the club. That'd be a Presidential decision.

I appreciate that, Justin. Thanks for your honesty.

I believe, the way this is going, it should be considered.

Playing politics and evading reality just like the big boys do.

Funny. The president tried to help him out.
