Confirmed: Montgomery Blair Sibley suspended in DC and FLA

It's been confirmed.
Montgomery Blair Sibley, that "unending source of vexatious and meritless litigation," was given an official order of suspension from the Washington DC Bar. The order went into effect on 12 May, 2008. Overlawyered has located and posted the official order of suspension. In a post written earlier today, the site's Ted Frank wrote:
We had earlier held off pronouncing that Sibley was suspended in DC (in addition to Florida), because the DC Bar website was not updated, but we now have a copy of the May 8 suspension order, which was effective May 12, pending final disposition of the reciprocal disciplinary proceeding. Sibley had been representing Barack Obama-accuser Larry Sinclair in litigation against anonymous Democratic Underground blog commenters.
What are the chances that conspiracy theorists are going to hop all over this one? People unfamiliar with Sibley's history will claim that this is an effort by Dick Cheney / Barack Obama / the CIA to silence him due to his work for Deborah Palfrey or Larry Sinclair--anything rather than admit that the man has a problem with paying his child support, abusing the bar, or suing U S Supreme Court justices. Nope. It's more reasonable to claim Sibley's issues are all part of a cover up.
