Sounds like proceedural issues as opposed to substance. Some grunt work didn't get done filing paperwork...on purpose? Perhaps.
They still must rule on the facts and if you look at Bill Boyer's buddy's deposition, that looks extremely incriminating....but I'll leave it to the courts as chat room perspective is anything but accurate.
Having several friends in that line of work it is not unusual to try and bury your opponents in paper work. The games continue....
