Reading PSA statements about it, AFTER the fact will not suffice. PSA was not forthcoming with any information whatsoever to help collectors and dealers identify which holders were bad or to explain the extent of the fraud. They just wanted it to go away as fast as possible. That is their way of protecting the brand name--not by taking care of their customers.
As far as what is going on now, what good is it to send a holder in to PSA to have them examine it once it is bought or a trade is done and that holder turns out to be bad? This is far from proactive solution and offers ZERO protection or recourse to the victim. In fact, it is my understanding when you do that the card gets broken out and you get back the card inside of a card saver.

+1. It seems like there is no "victim protection". They wipe their hands clean of it, and meanwhile, you are stuck for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars through no fault of your own.
