    Official Statement of TarValon.Net Regarding Riley Robinson

    I forgot to answer this initial question. If a donor makes a general donation ("Here's a check for $100! Bye!") then they really don't have any grounds to special information. Only if they have a particularized interest ("Here's $10K for servers, and servers only!") do they have any real...

    Official Statement of TarValon.Net Regarding Riley Robinson

    This is a classic problem in agency law. "Agency" in this case isn't agency in the sense of "Central Intelligence Agency", but more like "I am in charge and this guy over here is my agent." The question of whether somebody has the authority to bind their principal (the boss) is a very common...

    Official Statement of TarValon.Net Regarding Riley Robinson

    Mostly yes, though in many cases the decision is up to the Board's discretion. If somebody gives money to TV with the expectation that it will be used for Tower purposes, the Board's decision how to use that money is almost always going to overrule the donor's expectation unless something...

    That's a really nice thing for you to say, but I'm sure my singing voice could change your mind in a heartbeat.

    Official Statement of TarValon.Net Regarding Riley Robinson

    After several days I am able to respond. Sorry for the delay. Here we go: No comment. Some advice that I have directly given to the Board is inappropriate to discuss here, and some I feel like I can discuss here to help educate the community as we all grapple with this. IMO this question...

    Prosecutors are more likely to find out quickly if the victim reports. Other routes for that knowledge exist. No further comment.

    Official Statement of TarValon.Net Regarding Riley Robinson

    This is not correct. Prosecutors have discretion to pursue any case for which they have adequate facts. No. If the Board were to knowingly lie about or hide knowledge sought by the authorities, that's a different story. Thanks guys!

    Official Statement of TarValon.Net Regarding Riley Robinson

    As the most recent of the posts in this vein, I have chosen this one as the one I will respond to. In this post I am in no way commenting on the Board's intentions regarding the current controversy. I do feel it would be helpful to explain a point or two about how the process works to clarify a...

    Official Statement of TarValon.Net Regarding Riley Robinson

    DISCLAIMER: Again I repeat that I am in no way indicating whether or what actions have been taken, are under consideration, or have been ruled out by the Board. With that out of the way: Eli's post suggests that there may be a desire among certain elements of the community to take individual...

    Official Statement of TarValon.Net Regarding Riley Robinson

    Because those figures would be evidence in any legal action, the odds of those figures being released any time soon (meaning possibly a year or more) is unlikely. That is the board's decision but I wanted to set expectations appropriately.
