I am so disgusted by this. I'm ashamed to be a member of this organization. I am disgusted by the people who continue to stand by USAG, including the people who stood by and said nothing as all of this was going down. I'm disheartened by the people who are more worried about the future of gymnastics than the well being of children involved in the sport and now adults who were harmed physically and emotionally during their time in the sport as children/young adults. The culture of abuse is so ingrained in this sport and I am more and more baffled each day by what is considered par for the course. The last few months have really pushed me over the edge from ardent supporter of the merits of gymnastics to outright cynic and I hate that.
Why come forward now? Penny doesn't want to go to prison. He is saying they were never missing at all. I'm fairly certain people knew exactly where they were the whole time.“Our investigators were told by everyone that Steve Penny was in possession of the documents, and Kerry Perry even testified to Congress that U.S.A. Gymnastics didn’t have the records,” Stephanie Stroud, the first assistant district attorney in Walker County, said. “So it’s kind of interesting that the documents just showed up.”
If those are the documents that Penny had removed from the ranch, I’m very surprised he didn’t destroy them. Is Kerry Perry involved in it too, or do you think she really didn’t know about them? And someone there either coincidentally stumbled upon them or someone knew all along they were there. Why come forward now?

I wonder how much they have been altered? They would have to have been tampered with.....Agreed. Interesting they say that Nassar's name is not in any of the documents. I wonder if they were tampered with to remove his name? If so, Penny still can't claim to be clean.

It was actually a lawyer that suggested it.@bogwoppit I find it disgusting at best that there are still individuals that support and believe that an organization willing to file bankruptcy to hide from paying victims it has damaged so deeply should still be looking after their offspring needs a serious check on what is important in life. SMH
Yes, from what I understand, the insurance would still be required to pay. ... They just wouldnt have to pay for anyone who does not come forward as a victim before the bankruptcy is filed.Wouldn't USAG have insurance policies to pay partials of any lawsuits? What happens if they do file bankruptcy? Would these policies still be required to pay?
