What do you all know about this?

From AQ: http://angelqueen.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18116

A Protestant scam artist is poised to take over TAN Books and Publishers. His name is Clarence Arby Arbuthnot.

You can read more at this website that has been assembled by TAN Creditors that are not on the Creditor's Committee.

Please, PLEASE pray for intervention in this case, and let the Creditor's Committee know you don't want a Protestant to take over TAN Books. And please spread the word.

THANK YOU!

From the website:

Who is Arby Arbuthnot?

The TAN Creditors' Committee should know the facts that are important to the future of the company. Legally troubled Clarence (Arby) Arbuthnot was a print salesman who was promoted to Vice-President of Operations during TAN's current bankruptcy. FRAUD and BREACH OF CONTRACT charges were the result of Arby Arbuthnot's past business dealings. Despite Arby Arbuthnot's civilly liable business record, some want to promote Arby Arbuthnot to run TAN Books.

Arbuthnot was found guilty on several counts in the Bari & Saldino vs. Arbuthnot case, and had to pay over $60,000 in damages for BREACH OF CONTRACT. Rockford Journal was settled out of court, with a "huge sum" rendered to the plaintiff by Arby Arbuthnot. That case involved FRAUD and BREACH OF CONTRACT.

Whether you are a TAN customer or a TAN Creditor, let the Creditors' Committee know if an alternative to Arby Arbuthnot should be found.

Yes I am interested in this issue as well. It seems so strikingly absurd that TAN would even think about handing over the company to a Protestant and one who was tried in civil court for fraud even though he was eventually not found guilty if this is not a rouse.

Aren't there Traditional Catholics available to run the company?

I am confused beyond belief.

Edited for clarity

I just hope TAN does not change its Catholic identity one iota.

Unfortunatly I have to be the bearer of bad news in this Forum again. For years TAN has had a 'Moonie' on the staff--Mr. Sam Moore. TAN has been a bogus org all the while in spite of the fact that they have sold some good works==Belloc, Walsh etc. It is Cabalistic philosophy to mix good with bad as well as truth with lies to create confusion.

I think you have some VERY old information -- perhaps based on rumor alone.

Anyhow, perhaps he was fired years ago when they found out he was a Moonie? The owner of TAN is a hard-core Trad so I doubt he'd put up with a Moonie.

You make a claim without any evidence and even if one of the employees was a member of a false sect how would that somehow make TAN a "bogus organization"? I am not sure I see the logic. Also you bring in the notion of Cabalistic philosophy which does even apply with your example. What type of literature was/is TAN printing and distributing? Your conclusions, I am afraid, are rather convoluted and extreme.

You seem to be filled with much rancor and bitterness.

Obscurus--I will get back to your comments later.

Chant- thank you for info as the Mr. Moore story I got from Stadtmillers National Intelligence report from about the year 2000--you are probably right that Mr. Moore was canned. Stadtmiller was doing a story on the CNP(Congressman McDonald was a member of CNP) and how it was a front for CFR etc.

I have always found TAN valuable, but never the less was suspicious mainly because of the Moore story. My apologies if I am mistaken.

Who are in the TAN Creditor's Committee? Are they all traditional Catholics then, save for Mr. Arbuthnot?

It would indeed be very strange if TAN books suddenly went Protestant. Plus, I bet the sales would go down significantly if that happened. Of course, then again, what if Mr. Arbuthnot was made to sign a contract to keep with selling Catholic books from TAN? Then again, if they started selling other kinds of books instead, the name could be then changed too. It would go down in sales, I bet if both of those things happened too.

Obscurus makes a point for me. It was not only the Sam Moore story that made me suspicious of TAN, but the fact that TAN does not seem to be affiliated with any sede vacantist group.

As some here are aware, I think the alleged 'popes' beg w/ John 23 are in fact anti-popes(whether this actually makes me a sede vacantist or not I don't really know). It was this seeming lack of comprehension of the anti-popes that made me additionally wary of them.

Let's all hope I am wrong and TAN will recover and in turn help us recover the Vatican.

Yes, this would be sad. But the Vatican has been taken over by Protestants and Commies so as Rome goes so goes the rest of the world.

That's a good question, Kepha. I've wondered this myself. All I (think I) know is that it's the top 5 people that TAN owed money to at the time of the initial declaration of bankruptcy. I think one of those 5 was not so much of a creditor herself, but had other creditors "sign over" their rights to her so that she would have place on the committee.

Those 5 people could be anything from business owners that TAN bought from on credit to individual Catholics who lent money to the company to see it survive to individuals who loaned TANs money not so much as a good, Catholic business, but simply as a possible good investment of their money.

Whatever the case, it is them who will decide (with approval of the court) who will run TAN in the future.

Mr. Arbuthnot is not on the creditors committee, he is only an employee of TAN.
