This is amaaaaazing! I am really pleased to have helped enable this whole thing :D

Yeah, I agree the whole Trachenberg-Fredersdorf-Marschall thing looks a bit shady, but it sounds rather more like Fredersdorf was doing (trying to do) one or both of them a favor that kind of went sideways, rather than getting involved in underhanded deals-for-profit.

Personally, I consider Fredersdorf exonerated from the specific charge of embezzlement-that-made-Fritz-fire-him-and-him-die-in-dishonor and I am pleased about this :D But that's an interesting... fantasy she dreamed up :P
