I've no idea whether my letter to Albstadt Police contributed to Binder's arrest or whether it was merely coincidental to it. From my interpretation of the Solicitor's letter, they were not really connected.
Maybe someone from AOrg could indicate what happened to the transcript and translation of this letter? There was nothing sensitive or compromising, especially since this thread has several hundred posts, some of which are pretty pointed.
After the Solicitor's letter, the thread withered. As I said at the time, I think the Fat Postman started to sing. No-one followed up the story (if there was one) in the German press. I doubt it even made the Albstadt Gazette.
As to what the 'more serious' charges were, we'll probably never know. There is no information around here to suggest Binder has been jailed, fined or even had his knuckles rapped. All that appears conjecture and wishfull thinking. His eBay registration was however terminated in June 2004.
EDIT
@punkpie
Don't worry about that. I for one had contacted Binder/Toth before you posted it on here. I think several others probably did too. It was too good to miss, eh? Well, tha'll live'n'larn as we say in Yorkshire.
Cheers,
