My opinion? Pickleis making confusing arguments here,as per usual, although they don't confuse me.. but I don't wish for others to be confused...
So on what basis are you calling those payments royalties instead of kickbacks? That's the all important question you have yet to answer ... if you can.
So Sirmizer, shall we conclude that Remnant's payments to Danny for sales of Danny's Pacific Press booklets to 3ABN were kickbacks?
NO.
But you still haven't explained to us how the kickbacks weren't kickbacks. And if you can't do that soon, we're going to have to conclude that they really are kickbacks. You will simply lose on this point by default.
But that is your choice.
You admit that there were payments.
You have contended that those payments were royalties instead of kickbacks, but you have not explained how that can be so, despite having 5 days now to do so. You have not produced any contracts between Remnant and Danny for these booklets. You have not explained how Remnant was a distributor for these booklets when Remnant didn't stock them or offer them for sale on their website.
I have contended nothing of the sort.
Oh yes you did:
Pickle insists on calling remnant's payments to DS "kickbacks",{ a false premise} but the IRS who had his and others accusations and had all the documents and evidence in their investigation, did not, and does not consider the royalty payments as kickbacks...
Fact: Pickle is WRONG, he is quoting another.. As I said before to him:"I have contended nothing of the sort. I don't need to answer you within any time limits.
Check my posts and what I did and did not say, and then DON'T put words in my mouth which I didn't say.
I will repeat what I said before, Pickle. You presume there were kickbacks ....
No I don't presume. I know there were kickbacks. And so do you.
STOP putting words in my mouth and attributing things to me that I did not say, nor do I think! I didn't say that, nor do I presume that. Claiming that is arrogant, Pickle!
How so? Simpson admitted there were payments to Danny for sales of Danny's Pacific Press booklets to 3ABN. You admit that such payments were made.
By definition, those payments were kickbacks. There's no way around it other than to pretend that Pacific Press didn't publish them. But the booklets themselves say otherwise....
Fact: Simpson NEVER said there were payments to Danny "for sales of
Danny's Pacific Press booklets to 3ABN". I defy you to prove that with a direct quote! Nor did I or ANY other say that! Simpson only spoke of Remnant's payments to DS being perfectly legit, and as audited by outside auditors which were hired and employed to keep 3ABN correct, legal and all above board, that was true.. Fact: Simpson NEVER named the books or pamphlets. Pickle ASSUMED, and applied what was said about "booklets, pamphlets etc to whichever book or books or pamphets he chose to as fitting his faultifinding and conclusions,, but provides and has no legit reason to do so other than it suits his thoughts and accusations. (All erronious imo) He also fails to explain his logic or reasoning for doing so but expects readers to jump from A to P as he does without providing an adequate and logical reason or logic for doing so. And.. as we all know also know
ALL of this was also investigated by the IRS, after Pickle , Fran and co.. reported their suspicions and accusations to them. The result being the IRS was concerned, did find reason and cause to investigate but DID NOT find fault or guilt or error in regards to D.S. and 3ABN.
Their investigation concluded several years ago without amended returns resulting in payments or adjustments, and without any indictments for criminal or illegal activities etc... but Pickle and Joy continue... IMO without excuse.
Pacific Press published DS's pamphlets and Remnant later stored and distributed them. That's documented, as Pickle and Joy recieved and published that, No argument here. Did the copy rights to that change? Were payments made to DS for them? Well Pickle provides no proof of that, although he contends that occured....
Remnant DID have the copyright to DS and SQ's book and the abridged addition and so did pay royalties to both... although Pickle applies all to DS and ignores SQ.... ( Really as co-authors they are entitled to royalties, and both need to claim them, their employer does not.
The problem here as far as I am concerned is that Pickle does NOT identify what the royalties for those books are , nor does he distinguish the difference between them and Danny's other pamphlets are. Or what Remnant was paying DS for, or even what he was paid. Pickle, really, just assumes alot, and then concludes others should agree with his logic, or prove his illogical assumptions wrong or that proves he is right....
That is not my job.
It is obvious, or should be, to reasonable folk, that the IRS has not and did not come to Pickle's conclusions.
As far as I am concerned, Pickle now has a greater burden of proof
To be brief? I for one am tired of his
****** ********, and he can continue to spin and argue till the Lord returns, but it will not justify him! MY OPINION!
I'm done with all of this topic and his arguments, no matter how many times he says me not answering proves him right.
IMO that is arrogance on his part, and for my part I have better things to do.
May God be with you all and help you find and receive all that you ask for , and more, and may you all recognize it when you recieve and find that... and acknowledge it, and thank Him or take responsibility and be accountable...
