Despite being kicked off the board and being banished from the convention, 
Kramer still owns 1/3 of its stock and refuses to sell it because of the huge 
income the dividends provide him. This is what has been financing his defense 
and allowing him to stall his case.

In light of these developments, I am also disturbed that stockholders are 
receiving so much revenue from this convention while the majority of its staff 
comprises unpaid volunteers. I have no problem with for-profit conventions, but 
when a convention starts generating this kind of money, it seems those making 
it happen deserve a little more than a free membership and t-shirt.

Not going. Even if it wasn't conflicting with Worldcon, I'd be supporting the

Agree with Adrienne.

tl;dr version: Kramer, the founder, still gets money from the con and has been 
arrested (more than once) for charges of molesting young boys.

Kramer was kicked off the DragonCon board 13 years ago and has had no ties with 
management or the con since then.
