Thats a difficult one , If he has technical information to impart , I say grab it. He is named and shamed and has probably lost any personal respect that anyone had for him but that is another matter. He has been convicted and did serve so has deemed to have repaid his debt to society in the laws eyes. I don't think destroying him professionally will help anyone or anything.
I suppose it's up to the individual to apply whatever form of further "justice" or punishment they deem needed.

He was at Las Vegas. I had wondered then how things turned out. I will still read the EJ because I get good information from it.
Several years ago - 5 - I took a class that Steve taught on laser engraving - I decided then that he was not someone I would take another class from. He was very opinionated about some things then later recanted his statements in articles. He also was somewhat rude to people who asked questions or offered opinions during the class. There are a lot more knowledgable people in the industry that I would prefer to here speak or read an article from.
It may sound jaded but as an employer I would have a difficult time having someone who had been convicted of this type of crime work for me.
Rodney said it well enough.

My thoughts on this subject can be found throughout this thread. My opinion hasn't changed, as a result of the outcome of Stephen's case.

Not a pat on the back for him BUT it could have been MUCH worse.
