Glad some folks still realize his contributions to this situation. 😡 He didn't do it alone. There was a nominal Board of Directors at YEA all those years he was dissembling -with individuals and with their finances - and those BOD members never stepped in to investigate what was going on or create a culture of transparency. The YEA Board members thru the time of Hopkins' ouster were complicit in weakening the org to the point where they needed to close YEA down and start over, and, from a protection standpoint, the new org might as well have been a newborn lamb in a field full of hyenas..

This is not like going after a mogul or the Catholic Church with deep pockets. It’s a newly formed organization that technically had nothing to do with the very unfortunate events from 42 years ago. Yup but the law said you claim the heritage you claim the baggage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ultimately the plaintiff's lawyers had to know this would be the end result, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keystone3ply Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 24 minutes ago, TheOneWhoKnows said: I mean according to the lawsuit this would’ve been pre GH I believe. Sure the GH stuff was bad and damaged the corps, but up until this lawsuit the corps was loosely financial stable enough to keep going. At least on a season to season basis. He was actually named in the lawsuit, (statement #35 I think), of having knowledge of the incident & took no action. I think he may have been the assistant director at the time. I posted about the statement last year under the lawsuit topic but dcp will not let me search. Edited April 3 by keystone3ply cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
