I thought Burkman was a fraud. I don't remember exactly who was Jewin who with the whole NGP_VAN thing, but this was Tracy Beanz/(((Trish/George Webb's))) thing big time. Either they were enemies of Burkman, or they were part of a fraud he perpetuated with the NGP_VAN thing, maybe someone can refresh my memory.
*DISCLAIMER, even if they were "enemies" doesn't guarantee he's not a blackhat too, as one of the main strategies they employ is fake feuds to attempt to gain trust from onlookers. (Pic related)
