The Overgrow situation-- an elaborate hoax?

"Richard Calrisian" of Overgrow and Heaven's Stairway Disappears by Jodie Giesz-Ramsay (08 Feb, 2006)
Did he take the money and run? Or did "RC" go into hiding?
The owner of Heaven's Stairway Seeds, CannabisWorld.com and Overgrow.com has apparently dropped his websites and businesses, and has taken off with everything.
No one knows who "Richard Calrisian" is. No one has come forward with information about the websites. There have been no busts, no arrests linked to the owners. The servers seem to be reachable, but are not hosting the websites anymore.
Was RC scared of being investigated? Did he want to stop paying for an enormous database of information (Overgrow.com)?
Everyone who sells seeds seems to be fleeing North America and going to Amsterdam, Switzerland, Spain, England - the far more progressive countries. They don't want to be picked up by the USA or Canadian governments. Now that the Conservatives are elected in Canada, there's far more risks for people operating marijuana enterprises.
Read the CC Forums thread discussion on the topic here.
WTF????!!

I really hope that the laws don't change for the worse, now that the conservatives have Canada, too. I really need to visit B.C., before it all goes to shit. I need to find me a good steady strain to start up.

Hmm... weird... I'm not sure what to think really. I'll just wait and see what happens.
But Jodie's a stoner babe, man.

charges were filed, I stumbled across them a few days ago and I'm yet to track the page down again, the page listed his real name, ppseudonym and 3 or 4 others also charged, most were posession charges as well as export/import charges
