Oh, I don't know.  I do know it's not about money.  It's about ethics and messages sent.
I would love to see a heart-felt diary from pete where he plainly states how sorry he is that his actions have hurt those that he most cares about.  It needs to be directed to child-porn sufferers internationally.  He needs to ask for their understanding as his intent wasn't to support such slime, but rather to work through his own daemons (or what ever else his rationale was).
Something like that.
But, what do I know.
