Yeah I am not saying that anything useful can be said at this point. His organization had already imploded, and with him deceased, it will most probably fade away. We'll see. I thought of several jokes I could make but decided that joking with the death of a person is bad taste, no matter who he is. He was probably not all bad, and probably had some loved ones.
But I have started cleaning up the stickies, and that one was the first to go. So to avoid confusion over whether or not this was still a banned topic, I asked Bob for a formal answer which I could post. If he hadn't agreed with me, then I would have had to let the sticky stay where it was (or perhaps rephrase it / put it in the FAQ).

I've been following the whole sordid story for 2 years now on http://konigunninjers.blogspot.com
What happened was that because of the court cases, the ever mounting evidence that he was a con artist, and his openly abusive behavior (if the testimonies are anything to go by), his students started to see him for what he really was, and left en masse. Virtually all his blackbelts and senior students left in the space of a couple of months.
That is the problem when you start court cases if there are things you want to keep hidden.

Or, in his case, a big piece of ****-flavored cake, that will take eternity to eat, the fat, worthless bastard.
Yeah, those threads on e-budo can no longer be viewed by all and sundry-been that way for years, now.

I PMed a moderator on e-budo to inform them. I decided against posting in the forums because I don't know what their policy is regarding posts about him and his organization. Given what has happened there, I don't doubt that there will be rejoicing in many homes.

As I am relatively new to MT, did something happen here regarding it? And if so, and out of morbid curiosity, got links? I will admit I did not check the stickies here (or elsewhere on this site for information regarding him), as I too had been following his exploits for a while (also through the blogspot account and other areas).
Short version: Threat of numerous lawsuits which would have been filed in non-jurisdictional courts forcing a large expenditure of time and resources to fight. Rather than waste that, we simply banned discussion to avoid the whole mess. Other sites did the same.
A better understanding of the laws in these instances indicates that we had nothing to worry about, and we no longer do this. MartialTalk can not be held liable for the postings of it's members. Federal law n all that.

A year ago or so I posted about the Konigun but since it was blocked and i didn't realize it the word "konigun" was marked with ******. Some people on the site thought I was trolling because the group was so "secretive" that they thought i couldn't reveal their name.
After being informed of why I couldn't bring it up I don't think anyone mentioned them since that point.

Yes. It's been a while ago, but IIRC there was a lot of talk on e-budo about how his 'super secret soke' story was full of holes and he was called a fraud. 10 or so people who participated in that discussion got sued, lost a lot of money (to lawyers, and eventual settlement for some defendants) and went through a lot of grief. Several of them were also stalked and harrassed in real life by Bryce's pupils.
