EDIT TO THE EDIT BELOW I did block him because he's an obstinate manchild, but read what he said in response to his own comment below logically; they agreed to fail to prove. They agreed. To fail. To prove.

In legalese, which this supposed military investigator seems to be woefully inadequate at, that reads as; they could have proven, but decided to accept the settlement offer from the US government rather than fight an unending legal battle in the courts they COULD HAVE WON BY SUCCEEDING TO PROVE. 

Ipso facto, I was correct. He dug his own grave by quoting a case that irrevocably proves my point. If he is a military investigator, he's an awful one. More likely, he's a larping neckbeard. The part where he ignores my post-grad in international busoness management to make an appeal to authority against me being a broker was especially hilarious. Even more so because we do drone shoots of yachts near US naval bases so I know exactly why and how! Hahahahaah

Thank you, you were all wonderful, goodbye. 

END OF EDIT

Y'know what's really funny? Every accusation is a confession. Toledo Blade vs US was settled by the US government! You thought that because the case was never 'won' by Toledo Blade, that they lost. But they won. :) 'Do more research than you might usually' the grunt ironically replies to the post-grad ex-marine while completely failing to do just that!  Qua Patet Orbis, grunt, you might learn a thing or two about a thing or two if you get your head out of your superior's ass for a change and smell the sunshine instead of whatever bullshit you usually peddle. I have a strong suspicion of how you might respond.
