The ring was brought down by the district attorney, Harry Connick Sr., who is the father of actor/singer Harry Connick Jr.

Tipton is also an award-winning filmmaker who wrote and directed "HEART of the BEHOLDER". HOTB is the true story of how religious zealots ruined Tipton because he refused to remove Martin Scorsese's controversial movie, "THE LAST TEMPTATION of CHRIST" from his large chain of video stores.
