With apologies to Buck Owens…
Well, I thought the day I scammed you, you were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to fit my schemes and plans
Now the scams that we’re pulling has seen the light of day
And It looks like I’ve got a tiger by the tail

I’ve got a tiger by the tail, it’s plain to see
I won’t be much when you get through with me
Well, I’m a-losing weight and a-turning mighty pale
Looks like I’ve got a tiger by the tail

I’ve read every article FITS has posted on this topic and I’m still trying to figure out how, if at all, this developer or any of its board members broke the law – or if this is a style- over- substance issue with a heavy dose of personality clashes and local tribal turf wars. “Bullying” or being heavy- handed, or sloppy in tending to details, or arrogant, or perhaps disingenuous, or perhaps a power playing snob, while all distasteful, are not against the law. It’s not even the basis for a civil suit. The mere fact that the developer and Clemson may be aligned with some common strategic interests and goals is also not a crime or a civil injury. So, when you actually can elucidate something concrete, FITS, launch a flare.

You’re definitely missing it by looking for the felonies in the trees. This is a south carolina general story. Not really a crime focused drama.

I understand your frustration about it. It’s Bigger in the right lens.

Thought provoking comment. But years ago when Clemson’s general counsel was in private practice, he was involved in felony civil and constitutional rights violations The evidence appeared on a website Dunno if it is still there inasmuch it was many years ago But they made it very clear. (documents and transcripts).

SC has no statute of limitations on criminal offenses
