Rumors?
Bootleg was (and perhaps still is) an RCI employee. He went into several Tuggers accounts to help them with matters. The fact that he was able to do so shows that he was/is exactly what he said he was. With access to RCI's system, when he says that he can track weeks deposited by members for exchange not connected to points partners, cruises, etc. that are deposited immmediately by RCI into the rental pool, as he did, we are getting this directly from the primary source with personal knowledge of the facts, not from rumor. The fact that the information doesn't fit with your theories does not make it rumor.
The same is true with Anon. When he first started to post on TimeshareTalk as an RCI employee, the site owner decided to check out his bonafides by asking a series of specific questions about his own RCI account that only someone with access to RCI's computers could answer. Anon came back with all of the correct answers. He was what he said he was. Again, he is a primary source with actual knowledge of the facts, not mere rumor.
I am sorry if these primary sources with actual knowledge of the facts spoil your mere theories.
Further, I do not know of any connection between either Anon or Bootleg and any of the class action lawyers. Do you, since you have made this allegation?
As to voodoo accounting, this is more what Sunterra (and probably RCI) has used to try to justify the status quo. It failed with Sunterra, and it will fail with RCI, most likely, as well.
Did you also make predictions that the Savings and Loans, and perhaps Enron, would also continue with business as usual in spite of the courts? We saw how those came out.
As to your use of the term ''bumpkins'', you apply that to all jurors in many of your posts. I would think that would be offensive to anyone who has served on jury duty. Now you say it is only a subset of jurors. I have pointed out that both experienced trial attorneys and jury consultants don't even waste their challenges on prospective jurors they perceive as mere followers, and there are some on every jury. It is the likely opinion leaders that count on a jury and that is who will determine the outcome of jury deliberations and who attorneys focus on with their challenges.

Rumors are rumors - using rumors to whip up a class action is done all the time by the lawyers - just look at the silicone implants and the massive awards. Only after the awards did many scientific findings point out the false assumptions used by the courts. Our bumpkins were shown voodoo science and their emotions took over.
Voodoo accounting seems to be what is whipping up folks with RCI - the independent auditors have found no accounting irregularities - that should be all that is needed over voodoo accounting.
My reaction to all these voodoo statements is that we all know that RCI will continue their business and if there are any guilty or verdicts against RCI, RCI will simply out maneuver the courts and pass on all costs to us the members.
We all now this, yet the voodoo drums pound on.
P.S.
If I’ve offended any bumpkins, I sincerely apologize. (You know who you are)
Bumpkins are a subset of jurors; I've never assumed that TUG members belong to that subset - others might infer this, not me.
