Shadowrun, Catalyst, and Freelancers Options

[MikeTrevin]

-I ABSOLUTELY HAVE NO INTEREST IN STARTING A FLAME WAR-

Last time I was really involved with the Shadowrun community was around the time that information had surfaced that Loren Coleman (?) had been possibly embezzling, and as a result freelancers weren't getting paid.

My question is this: was that situation ever resolved in anything approaching a satisfactory manner? Did freelancers get paid? I kind of bailed on the community at that point, ducked out of the Shadowrun scene, and... well, avoided the matter.

Now that fifth edition is coming out, I kind of want to get back into it, but I'm not super comfortable with paying possibly criminally irresponsible people.


Again, don't want a flame war. Just want to know the final outcome of the matter. I already know Loren Coleman is still working for/at Catalyst, I can see that from their website, but I want to know what the final disposition of the freelancers getting paid, and maybe whether or not Loren ever gave the money back ( if he indeed did embezzle )
