[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5774285, member: 20583"] To prevent any further fraudulent attempts. Hanson was only protecting himself in the way of status and income generated from holding a world record. Rompola was absolutely trying to unseat the legitimate world record without any willingness to prove his buck was real. He was all about the attention until it meant he may be sued and/or charged with felony fraud. Then suddenly he crawfished in monumental fashion, caved to Hanson's demand, and claimed he didn't want all the attention. IMO Hanson saved Rompola from prison. Once Rompola signed away his claim and disappeared into obscurity, Hanson dropped his pursuit. Had Rompola collected significant money from his buck and the FBI investigated claims of fraud, he'd have been screwed if anything wasn't right with that buck. I'd guess that's why it played out the way it did. If the buck is real then none of this story makes any sense at all. But if it's fake then it explains everything about how it played out. Dude was riding high until proof was required, proof that was easy to provide if it existed. But I don't think it did exist and neither did Hanson. Hanson's waiver for Rompola was a legal "put up or shut up", and Rompola shut up. [/QUOTE]
