He resigned as Chairman on July 4th, 2006, after consulting with the Board of Directors (BoD) of the National Alliance, but is still a member of the BoD of the National Alliance. He was not asked or required to resign from the Federal Court, but under the conditions of his pre-trial release he is not allowed to have any contact with any past or present member of the National Alliance, which made it impossible for him to remain as the Chairman during his pre-trial probation. Shaun appointed Erich Gliebe as the CEO and Patrick Martin as the COO while he was in jail. Erich Gliebe the former Chairman of the National Alliance, from July 2002 to April 2005, resumed leadership of the National Alliance July, 2006.

Shaun was scheduled to move to office in West Virginia by November of 2002, but Dr. Pierce's untimely death in July due to cancer changed this situation. In September, 2002 shortly after the death of Dr. William Pierce on July 23rd of 2002 he was appointed as the Western State Regional Coordinator by the new Chairman of the National Alliance Erich Gliebe.
