I am not so sure he actually does want to take down Amazon.
Now, I know JSWolf is legendary for his anti-Amazon rhetoric
but this latest comment has really opened my eyes.
If you look
carefully, what he is saying seems designed to bait the BPHs into making another mistake like the one the DoJ already got involved in.
I am not 100% positive, but it is possible JSWolf is really an undercover mole -- with really,
really deep cover.
