This is pure speculation on my part, but didn't I read here that
Len plead guilty of attempted theft when he was caught attempting
to repo some equipment?  This would seem that he was convicted of something.

Of course you all know that technically if you pay a moving violation traffic
ticket you were "arrested" and "convicted."  Keep that in mind the
next time you fill out a job application.....
