Schiff, Irwin

The purpose of this board is to track the status of activity, cases, and ultimately the incarceration or fines against TP promoters and certain high-profile TPs.

What a shame. Lung cancer is a slow, painful way to go.

Schiff had to take the "down" elevator at the Pearly Gates. As St. Peter explained to him, the final reward is only for corporate prophets.

Irrespective of anything else, the loss of any life is sad.

RIP Irwin.

I don't know if Irwin had filed any recent litigation in regards to his situation, the last one seems to be in 2013. If so, I wonder if, over the last two or so years, Irwin mentally gave up in admission that he wasn't going to win. I am confident that Irwin still believed he was right, but realized that he was never going to prevail.
