The DOJ Has a Long Memory
If part of your branding and marketing strategy revolves around thumbing your nose at the US Government, don’t be surprised when they spend years chasing you down.
The DOJ has a long memory, a big budget and a poor sense of humor, so don’t fool around with them.
The so-called crimes that Ayre’s been indicted for are hardly worth the DOJ’s time, but they’re eager to make an example of Ayre’s cavalier attitude towards US law. While Ayre’s got the funds to fight this battle, the rest of us would be rotting in Federal prison if we went up against the DOJ.
