I don't know, I think the Hank Gerenbery looks spot-on!

Great job.


The news reports were also very well done to. Filled in a lot of the holes on the back story and how much the prosecutor actually knew before the sale.

As usual Jim Spence was wrong. Those shrinked wrapped balls game from B&J Collectibles, Madison Sports and Howards. Those where the items you would see on Shop At Home. Marino never shrinked wrapped anything. I also was asked to go on the show but it made very little sense to do so because no matter what you say about Drew Max the prosecutor would deny it.
I think the reporter did the best he could but in one ear and out the other.

so true,

What a complete A hole John Hotandsmelli. prosecutor taking advantage of handicapped legal morons. Should be illegal, but it's the American way.

An amazing job by reporter Howard Thompson for blowing the dorsal fin off of Hotandsmelli's lies and deceit. Sadly, It's already been forgotten.

How can you say those terrible things about Max? He owns a really BIG magnifying glass and a briefcase, so he clearly knows his stuff.

That prosecutor is a really big a--hole. Just what this hobby needed, a moron in public office trying to sell crap.
