Yet somehow you couldn't do this owning the card and knowing of the issue for over a year? 
Yes I had the audacity to ask and still ask. Is this what a person does who is so called so instrumental in fighting hobby fraud? You even admit to me in a PM this was a really bad call on your part.
So because I refuse to take the narrative that you were so willing to do the right thing to return this card all along. Because I see the ugly mess that it really was and think folks should remember this regardless of the very positive final outcome. For these reasons I'm an evil person. Makes perfect sense.
If this was any other collector with the above set of circumstances there would be a different tone in these threads. The main reason you see so few folks being vocal here is the fear of having the moderator ban them.
It's not that you had a stolen card could happen to any of us, it's not the final outcome which was great Leon. It's how you handled the stuff between the start and the finish line that's the issue and that you seem to take no real ownership of....short of it's everyone else's fault and any who dare disagree with the way it was handled are simply on a witch hunt.

It has been my experience that when someone is being as repetitive as Wonka is - there are other underlying issues. 99% of the time - again my experience.
A few reasons.
Power Trip
Envious
Personal / Feelings Hurt
Vindictive
Many others...
Every time I run across this, I have noticed that it is extremely difficult for the perpetrator to look within themselves to try & figure out why they feel the need to repeat their point while others make their point and move on
(I'm betting Wonka does not have this ability either). My guess is that Wonka has some emotions / feelings that are hurt. I have a sneaky suspicion these two need to do what my grandmother used to make my sister & I do...
Hug & Kiss... Meanwhile she would remark "AWWWEEEE".
