Jack Thompson “dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation”

Posted by Dan on December 18, 2008

Not that this is news to any of you, since we all know of Jack Thompson’s disbarrment. But the Florida Bar News had this to say Monday:


The Florida Bar News Disciplinary Actions for December 15, 2008

John Bruce Thompson, 5721 Riviera Drive, Coral Gables, permanently disbarred without leave to apply for readmission, effective 30 days from a September 25 court order. (Admitted to practice: 1977) Thompson is charged with extensive misconduct and a complete lack of remorse. In five separate cases over a three-and-a-half year period, Thompson engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation. (Case Nos. SC07-80 and SC07-354)

Awesomesauce, I must say, and appropriate to note the “complete lack of remorse.”  Thompson has been pretty quiet as of late. Lets see if this latest “blow” from the bar sets him off. Gameslaw readers will remember that Thompson believes (and has stated to the court) that we (GamesLaw) are one of his enemies, a criminal element of the games industry. We look forward to seeing what he comes up with next.
