- dalke 12y agoThe link you gave was only a paragraph long, and not very informative. Thanks for the followup that he had been arrested! That brought me to http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2015/01/28/tommy-thompson-arrested.html http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2015/01/28/tom... which had more details about the arrest. I learned about him a couple of years ago through the book "Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea", only to find at the end that he had sign-off over the final publication, which made me wary about how to interpret the book. I then looked for more recent news about him, only to find that he had recently deserted his rented mansion in Vero Beach. I'm pleased that he's been arrested.
- jhallenworld 12y agoOh, the link goes to the first page of an 8 page story. I also read "Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea"... ever since I've wanted to play with a side-scan sonar. I see them on ebay for ~$7K.
- dalke 12y agoAhh, it's just that "view all" doesn't work for me. I could page through each one though.
