Whenever you start working on a case, you need to create a timeline. The timeline will help you know what you know, and what you don't know. It will help where the facts are fuzzy. The below is a timeline I have created based on information offered by Brian Meshkin's campaign and facts I was able to gather from the internet. It presents an incredibly disturbing picture of failed businesses and blatant misrepresentations. This is nothing to ignore.
