There are reasons that so few researchers post to this List.  Unfounded
accusations such as the above are one very sore point for researchers.  My
understanding is that the researcher that you mention was not "busted," but
rather went to great efforts to import stock legally, which she did.  I just
checked with her to confirm.

However, one of the Aussie breeders from whom you import stocks was indeed
"busted" for importing stocks illegally and surreptitiously into Australia.
