Alphas explanation is below at the bottom:

Interesting.

But folks, what he is missing here and not taking into account are the two people whom are pulling the DPA strings motivation.

I will assume as fact that they are Caplinger and yes, Seham, as it seems that Tim has become quite enthralled with Lee, much to his Associations detriment.

IF there is any remote connection to Dalpa or ALPA with "John Doe" that will allow them to proceed legally, trust that they will.

DPA is no longer in a position to prevail on its own as an organized entity. Filing a suit will be out of spite for Tim, and for profit obviously for the "lawyer".

The problem is that they then get to siphon away dues money as a defense is mounted and quite possibly drain more in a judgement and settlement. That's is a problem, but minor in nature compared to possibly finding out through discovery and motions to compel that Dalpa or ALPA did have a hand in this.

I would have said it was never possible that Dalpa would be involved, but then again, I never guessed that they'd form a secret committee off the books either. That will be the target of any suit and it's not us that has to be convinced, it's a jury, and we all know how well that has worked out for ALPA before.

The real intriguing component will be seeing who lines up to be the first to throw whom under the bus, as the political blow back from a lawsuits legal fishing expedition mounts, and self preservation and vanity boil to the surface.
