Where do you draw the line on Loyalty

This question of loyalty keeps coming up. So I have to ask myself, being a self proclaimed loyalist when it comes to my friends and family, where do you draw the line?

Helgason was a long time "friend", but he certainly did not stand by us. He easily threw us away as soon as we called in our due notes and contracts. I guess if you want to stand by your friends Helgason and Balko that is fine, but just remember they will not return the favor.

Back to the question...where do you draw the line on friendship?

"Guilty or Innocent you stand by your friends, that is what you do".

O.K. so they only maliciously and with premeditation stole huge amounts of money from "friends" and ruined their credit ratings. Committed Bank and Mortgage Fraud. Stole money from children at a dance studio among many other crimes.

But where do you draw the line...?

Not that these crimes are not heinous enough, but what if they committed the following, would you still stand by them and protect them?

Pedophile charges, sexual assualt, murder?

Because you ALWAYS stand by friends Guilty or Innocent??

For me, I prefer to surround myself with people that have morals and ethics. Not people that would stand by me if I was a morally bankrupt criminal.

Just a thought for discussion.....

P.S.

For all of those that want and post definitions.
Premeditation:The act of thinking about and planning a crime beforehand, rather than acting on impulse in a moment of passion or mindlessness.

A Site for Victims....

I wanted to start a site where all victims and interested parties in the TJ Waconia scam could keep informed. I also think we can use this site to help all the victims by posting information on how to get assistance with foreclosures, etc. I have learned much about how these scams work and where to go to get help and will list links, etc.

But first, if you are a victim, please file a complaint with the MN Department of Commerce. Please indicate Jon Helgason and Thomas Balko names ( not just TJ Waconia). This is to ensure that the authorities are aware of all the victims.
