I wonder what it actually was.
If you told me a paper towel cardboard insert I wouldn't be surprised...

I wonder what it actually was.
off topic, but does anyone know what became of the charges from his arrest?
This is probably good in a sense. Whatever one might think about Mr. Atkinson, I'm certainly of the opinion that we was royally screwed. He's been in a kind of legal limbo ever since his initial arrest and the government's long delay in bringing charges is unforgivable. I believe that the delay in charging him was a primary motivation in his filing of the federal lawsuit.
looks like he is winning so far, let's see if he wins the next round too.
Note that the article mentioned that his ridiculous pro se case is now at the first circuit. It looks like all of the motions to dismiss were granted on March 14th, ending the case at the district level.
Someone I know was talking about this guy and some work they did with them in the past. Some searching lead back to here interestingly enough.
Any update on this? Did any of his appeals go through?
All I found was this from 11.27.2012

They dismissed the complaint based on procedural grounds. CA1 affirmed the dismissal. The docket was 200+ entries large and basically it was dismissed against everyone because the dude tried to screw everyone all at once. Gura even cited this case in a cert amicus to SCOTUS saying their inaction is causing cases like this to pop up.
I see what you are getting at, but I wouldn't characterize it as him trying to screw people. He is the one that got screwed (big time!), he was trying to hold them all accountable at once. That would be a better characterization. The amount of misconduct, perjury, and rights violations against him was so sweeping it is hard to comprehend.
