Not so fast, if either business is in financial or legal trouble they may go under.

we don't know much, but we know enough not to have to worry here.
this has nothing to do with Halcyon's financial well being, assuming they'd
even be hurt by losing $100,000, because the deal involves restitution in
the amount allegedly lost.

while it could have an impact on Salvo Diving, i doubt it. once the plea is
finished and the restitution ordered, that pretty much ends the legal battle
(Halcyon won't be able to file a civil suit for damages since they've already
been compensated)

i suspect i know what's going on here, but... hey... i could be wrong
 
From the High Springs Herald article ...


"Halcyon officials said they could not comment on the case and the plea agreement"


What, then, was the memo that spawned this little conversation?

Personally, I wish they would just settle their differences off the Internet and get back to the business of selling dive gear. Neither side's coming out of this looking very good, to my concern.

Yeah, a media giant like the High Springs Herald is probably twisting the truth to get the business of the 50 people in High Springs that don't get their paper. C'mon we're not talking about the Enquirer.

You have to love the press , fact or fiction , probably some truth behind it but we all know with the press they will only publish what they want people to see in effort to make the headlines for there ratings

Twisting is probably not the right word, but I've NEVER seen a news report or news paper get everything correct.

I've been quoted a few times, never accurately, and I've been at many events that were reported, and never entirely accurately. People, including reporters, make mistakes.

Of course no paper will be 100% accurate 100% of the time. Show me a business that is. But I'll bet that story is more accurate than all the conjecture here on the internet even though it really didn't say much. Most of the story is based on the police report.

Don't know about your experiences, but many people who've been quoted don't think they were quoted accurately. They also didn't write down what they said and can't remember 100% accurately what they said. They're simply unhappy with how they appear and claim they were misquoted. And some are misquoted.

I seriously doubt, as previously stated, that the High Springs Herald decided they needed to make more out of this than what it is. I mean that story is ten times as boring to read as this thread, and the thread at TDS are.

It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode about Festivus. It's time for the airing of the grievances!
