Erickson Project: Mike and Dr. Ketchum Bigfoot DNA Update, the tooth is out there


Dr. Melba Ketchum isn't afraid to call upon her lawyers if anyone decides to speak about the Bigfoot DNA Project. Judging by all the NDA forms sent to various people involved with the Erickson Project and the Bigfoot DNA samples, this woman means business. Mike from the Bigfoot Discovery Museum gives us the latest on the Bigfoot tooth they submitted to Dr. Melba Ketchum's lab.

  1. Mike's a good guy. We hit up his museum in Felton, CA and he was gracious with his info and time. Highly recommended.

  2. He's telling all that he knows from the position he's in. I think it's pretty apparent he's a very up-front kind of guy. Sounds like a plot from "All My Children." If this was truly a breakthrough in BF research and proof of BF's existence, it seems someone from Smithsonian or other institution would have jumped in to control the research.

  3. Well, lawsuits/lawyers cost money..especialy from LA!


    There will be a point of dimishing returns....what are the damages if someone speaks?

    To sue or silence...there must be damages - or something for the court to solve throuh money or injunction.

    Problem with going to court? The agreement will be reviewed and the defendant will get there own lawyer. The outcome will be uncertain.

    Is the agreement balanced? Is there an unequal bargain and value at the conclusion to each side? How will one prove damages from speaking? How will the court value that?

    So somone spoke out early and what? The paper didn't get published because of it?

    So, it will be very hard to explain these NDAs and just what they mean to a Judge. It would be nice to tie up so many people and samples and claim all future discussion/revenue, but in practice doubt she can pull it off, or anyone for that matter.

    There is a tension between our desire to advance science (that's why we allow patents) and our desire to advance Humanity. This is one of those cases where Humanity may win. It has been a long trail following Sasquatch and it is arguable that Ketchum does not bring anything as unique to the table as the samples.

    If she does actually try and enforce all the reported NDA's she will be very busy and frustrated for a long time in a zero gain game...litigation.

    Let's hope Ketchum comes to her senses...allows those with samples to talk about their experiences and collection and thoughts after paper publication

    Let the geneticists have theirs as well.

    No one says if Ketchum has actually been in the fieldit could change her opinion about how valuable her work is compared to her sample holders. It may even change her opinion about the point of making all this public, or even associating her name with "proof." Nothing like meeting another ancient homind to open the mind and bring in new thoughts...like maybe "science" and "us" shouldn't out them after all?

    But, we all know it has been very hard to get any lab to look at this seriously and to have an open enough mind to consider another Homo something on the planet. Maybe that is enough consideration in any NDA

  4. If there are many samples holders who awaken post paper (or even now) to realize that what they thought they bargained for is not what they are getting, or even if they now consider the bargain then unfair (and there are arguments based on what I have heard in the rumor mill), a Class Action might stand.

    If there are 100 samples, how many sample holders? If a large enough group exists, disatisfied with the agreement and individual litication between each party and Ketchum is unreasonable (there are standards)then a class action could be advanced and with it all the attorney fee shifting statutes!
    In other words, your lawyer will work hard (and probably a team of them) to win this as a class action because of the fee shifting and court awarded attorney fees and costs.
    Contract law on the other hand, most states, requires each party pay legal fees unless there is something illegal or unenforceable about the contract(it happens more often than you would guess, especially regarding "liquidated damages),or that State has legislated such.

    So, there are many options and uncertainties to try and hold together such a "secret" or even "control" over such a project, or breach the contract opportunistically (don't go morality..contracts are all about walking away when it doesn't make business sense, just calculate damages..it's part of accepted business practice) and prefereably after a paper is published (however, there are limits. It seems it has been draggin on quite a while and probably few thought in advance this long..damages to sample holders might be accruing because of reputation, etc).
    It would be difficult it seems from what I have heard to defend across the board a continued silence after publication...in effect that would almost turn the NDA into a type of non-competition or even "employment" contract (consider writers who submit samples barred from attesting to their own credibility?)

    If things go like they seem to have in the past, with Sasquatch parties, and really any committed profit seekers (corporations, etc... as well as people)...this should be quite a show!
