no, I haven't seen that there yet. They have gotten up to arguing over whether the book "Hush" should have been printed or whether it is a big chillul hashem.

one of the sons turned himself in and was charged with 72 counts. another was arrested during questioning. and the father and third son fled the country. Not looking like they are innocent, but I suppose they will get their day in court.

now they are discussing it. Quite a few are proclaiming his innocence...
