Robert Boylan will do anything to make a buck - Now selling John Tvedtnes' drafts

[Moksha]

Did anyone hear anything about how he acquired the rights to these documents, assuming he has them?

Perhaps they were willed to him by Richard Nygard of Alabama.

If people would like to get a PDF of either/both of these texts, you can do so. The costs are:

Joseph Smith and the Ancient World = $35
As Far as it is Translate Correctly = $15

So, they aren't even actual bound hard copies? People are supposed to pay $35 and/or $15 for an electronic *pdf that could easily be mailed to them for free?

Correct.

Correct.

Wow, this guy REALLY knows how to turn a profit! Especially considering that someone else did all the actual work!

Has provenance been confirmed? Maybe I have some of Hugh Nibley’s lost notes and surprisingly, they agree with a lot of my beliefs.

Provenance, followed by rights. If this were true, Boylan should have verified provenance and then stated how he acquired the rights to publish and sell.

The guy is obsessed with money, even worried about youtube taking $3 of a $10 donation. I don't think working as an obscure researcher on Mormon apologetics pays him very well.

One of the things that I've loved best about you, Marcus, is that you’re such a card!

At the very least, it is sloppy and negligent not to explain the legitimacy of his right to profit off the writings of a deceased man to whom he is not apparently related.

Until his death in June 2018, John A. Tvedtnes was working on a number of books. I have managed to get drafts of two of them:

Joseph Smith and the Ancient World (~750 pp.) and
As Far as it is Translated Correctly (~100 pp.)

If people would like to get a PDF of either/both of these texts, you can do so. The costs are:

Joseph Smith and the Ancient World = $35
As Far as it is Translate Correctly = $15

One can pay for them via (be sure to include your email address):

Paypal: https://paypal.me/robbertbhr

Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Robert-Boylan-16

I'm not finding this post. Did he take it down, or is my google-fu just off?
