   prattle?  The
key difference between this and normal "news" is that real
 stories don't have to mask the names of the participants. 
I generally do not post what I consider to be "unsubstantiated and
uncorroborated sort of prattle." The reports may well be biased, but I also
received via email a forwarded letter from John Ramsey, owner of Ramsey
Electronics describing what happened. It does describe what happened as an
armed raid.

Check out the Ramsey web site, and you will see more about what happened. 

One of my companies was raided like this in 1996. I will give John Ramsey a
call tomorrow. I lost over $460K to fight the battle.. a won... barely.
First thing anyone should do is release anything and everything on the
internet when something like this happens, and start the press before a
media ban is put on the case (like mine).With my contacts, and lawyers I was
able to pull through. The federal bastards tried anything to bankrupt me..
even by taking any lose change they could find the day during the raid.

I hope John kicks them back. If I wasn't so busy with the load I just got I
would throw up a server in Ireland or somewhere and post some very serious
high tech transmitters I had to design back in '94.

It is possible to take a chunk back out of them... I hope he does it.
