I've read the chatlog all the way through. There are outside links to docs that I haven't fully explored. Some links are dead.

The log seems to support Arturo's claim that he was the primary source of the foundational evidence and theories Jim would promote and build upon.

Now, whether Jim "stole" anything is harder to quantify. If Arturo convinced him of a theory, and Jim repeats it, is that stealing?

What I can say is that Jim repeatedly promised him that it would be Arturo's story to tell when CNN was interested. And clearly that didn't happen.

Then again, it also never happened because CNN was never interested. By the time Jim was getting the attention he felt he deserved, he and Arturo had fallen out.

But the *spirit* of that initial promise was violated, so I can understand why Arturo would feel this way.

More than anything else, the chatlog just reminds me how destructive Jim has been.

A trail of threats and broken friendships in his wake.

So many people added to his "enemies list."

Christ, this chat is like a month after he first showed up, and he's already making it.
