Stolen Dojo Accusation

Another of these preposterous lies is that Konigun stole a dojo. Robert Scott Staples (Defendant #1) weaves the tale over the internet about how Konigun strong-armed him out of his dojo by using threats of violence towards him and his family. It is hard not to laugh at his accusation because of how completely bogus it is. To use another man's well known words:

"Now the rest of the story." - Paul Harvey

To address this accusation and further illustrate the outlandishness of Mr. Staples' words we will examine two documents used as exhibits in Dr. Dallas' civil case against them.

Picayune Times Newspaper Article

First is an article from the Picayune Times, the newspaper from the city where Mr. Staples had his dojo. The paper reports that Mr. Staples and his students were arrested at his dojo. He was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to the paper, for drinking with all of his underage students.

Landlord Letter

Second is the letter from Mr. Staples' landlord to Dr. Dallas. The letter explains why she evicted Mr. Staples.

Mr. Staples was renting the back half of a large metal building from the owner to use as his dojo. She maintained a bookstore in the front of the building. Below are the actions and aspects of having Mr. Staples as a renter that infuriated the landlord to the point she evicted him from his dojo and pleaded for help to correct the situation.

I have had money stolen from my register.
I have been taken advantage of by Scott.
I have found a grown man passed out on the couch.
Scott's students destroyed my computer by surfing porn sites.
Scott and his students ran up my phone bill.
Scott and his students have left my business doors unlocked.
Scott has failed to pay rent.
I have been very stressed because of the stigma of having minors arrested in my building.
Food has been left in my building until it becomes rotten and is still not cleaned up.
Scott left construction debris strewn across the back of my building for my disabled husband to pick up.
The unsanitary conditions that the bathroom contained were unbareable. It was worse because the bathroom was shared by both businesses.
Scott continually failed to take responsibility for his actions and instead, blamed the conditions and his students and stated that he would do nothing about it.
The stress from these conditions has worsened my spinal cord injury and my multiple sclerosis and I need relief.

Mr. Staples has stated that we stole his dojo and kept his belongings. The fact of the matter is that the landlord kept his belongings after she evicted him as a means to try and recover some of the money that she was owed.

Statement of Jay Green

Konigun has had prior dealings with Mr. Staples and when he came to us after his arrest, asking for help with his dojo, we said we would do what we could to help.

Shidoshi Dallas and I went down to Picayune to assess the situation, at which time we met the landlord. After talking with her, she thanked us for the help. We removed the garbage that was piled throughout the dojo. With the help of one of Scott's students, we gathered a shoe box of drug paraphernalia that was stashed throughout the dojo and took it to the city police. Shidoshi Dallas negatiated with the landlord to release numerous loads of Scrott's belongings that were carried by one of his students to Scott at his sister's or mother's house. We were not able to get all of Scott's belongings as the landlord would only allow people to take what they could prove belonged to them. She did this to ensure that people did not accuse her of selling or stealing other people's belongings.

We met the students and explained to them our ground rules, i.e. normal dojo protocols of discipline and respectful behavior. They resisted adopting these rules to the point that it was confusing. After a week or two it got to the point that we decided to remove ourselves from the situation. Unbeknownst to us were the past problems between Scott and his landlord which were brought to light when we received the letter from Scott's landlord explaining the past incidents.

I will give you a hard lesson that I learned from this ordeal:

Before you decide to help someone, be sure to ask as many questions of both sides before you jump in head first with good intentions.
