Ill never forget the time he called me in September 2013 on the phone to tell me he would stop at nothing to destroy the photo auction I was starting that he saw as a threat to his business model (wont go into too many other details) and he tried, including launching a press release bashing me the week our first auction ended etc. I haven't given it much thought in five years but what is interesting now after watching the episode last night is that he was already being investigated by the FBI when he made the phone call and he knew it! Crazy stuff.
The worst part besides the obvious fraud and deceit is that he has driven some REALLY great collectors out of the hobby for good.
