Cesar, JVP was one of the author/speaker/leader types in the community who decided that VFP was doomed and said so vigorously for some years. He decided to become a lawyer and vanished altogether when he qualified some years back. He made a number of predictions, some of which came true. He was certainly colorful!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
