Yet, your solution attempts to placate him by buying him off, in a manner of speaking. Just raise the fees … it’s not that much for the LLCC alone. Presto, everyone’s happy, unicorns abound and all is well. Yes, it “sounds” reasonable at first blush.

However, I see zero evidence Mr. Schwarz has ever proven to be reasonable in the least – quite the opposite. He’s basically destroyed the LLLC – an amazing feat for one person to do without penalty, at least so far.

In sum, your approach would a) set a terrible precedent, b) reward extremely destructive and selfish behavior, and c) simply open the doors, even incentivize him, to expand his sights towards the RLGs, Clubs, Square etc with open ended costs.

I’ve already posted what I think needs to be done to solve this, so I won’t restate it here. You can go back and reread if you wish. It’s becoming increasingly obvious no other solution will work.

I just posted some math to estimate a cost under a certain set of conditions. Don't shoot the messenger. This is not the cost of "buying him off", this is the cost of complying with federal law, as it might be interpreted by a judge. Personally, I don't think this guy deserves a penny, and neither do the bottom feeding scum sucking attorneys that he hired. But I didn't write the law, otherwise it would have been much better. I'm not the judge, but I can tell you my ruling if I was, and the plaintiffs would not like it. And I'm not sure a precedent can be set, since the RLGs and Rec centers are run completely differently than the arrangement between the VCS and the LLLC
