I had to come back online for a bit and checked in.

This is interesting:

Cassman tells judge he is guilty




Clean cut, wearing a green prison-issued jumpsuit and shackled at the ankles, the former Franklin-based fraudster/politician Jeff Cassman admitted his guilt today in running a Ponzi scheme.
The plea entered before U.S. District Court Judge Aleta Trauger, which had no conditions meaning there is no plea bargain, came on the day when his trial was supposed to begin. Cassman had originally pled not guilty before a U.S. Magistrate in October.
Cassman fled Tennessee in late 2008 – taking his wife and nine children with him – to avoid prosecution on mail and securities fraud charges related to a Ponzi scheme. He was indicted early this year and apprehended in Guatemala. While he was in that country, a 10th child was born to him and his wife.

Sentencing has been set for Monday, March 28. until then, federal probation officers will develop a pre-sentencing report to present to Trauger to help her determine the length of the prison sentence and other penalties.
The maximum penalties for mail fraud are 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. For securities fraud, they're 20 years in prison and a $5 million fine.

In addition to admitting his guilt today, Cassman also admitted to another lie – one he won't be charged for. In the past, he has represented himself to victims as having a theological degree, even claiming as much on social websites such as LinkedIn.
Asked today by Trauger what his highest level of education was, a question designed to make sure that he could not make claims of ignorance or misunderstanding later should he try to go back on his guilty plea, Cassman replied "College...and some graduate courses."
Cassman has a college degree he obtained online through Missouri-based Park University, but claimed he had a master's in theology from Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Connecticut.
Trauger has been busy recently with other Ponzi schemers, having overseen the trials of fraudsters like Michael Park and Aaron Vallett.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ty Howard, who prosecuted the late Barry Stokes for his 1Point fraud, is the prosecuting attorney. Nashville attorney Nathan Moore is representing Cassman.

That's interesting. But I don't see how it has anything to do with his arguments against sedevacantism.

You're right.  Arguments stand on their own merits of course.

The guy got utterly decimated. It's actually interesting he was part of a Ponzi scheme as well. I find his fallacious copes and lack of admittance of simple facts just such a display of ones character, especially considering the subject matter...

He was decimated.  Are we certain that’s the same Jeff Cassman arrested for the Ponzi scheme?  I wonder if SSPX approved his representing their position in this debate.  I don’t see how anyone else could have done any better though.
