And which bullies? Those that shill bid and sell altered cards as authentic? Or those who obnoxiously call them out? |

The thing that bothers me the most about this whole PPP business (and to echo what was said by a previous poster), is the fact that many were using the money for nefarious means. I have zero issues with the businesses that used the money as intended, to keep their small businesses afloat, but using it to buy cards or luxury items should have come with repercussions.
The free money given out by the government was an issue as well. Too many people qualified for the stimulus checks. For frame of reference both of my parents received checks. They're both retired and did more than well enough in their careers to not need this money. Hell I received a stimulus check and I have a decently paying career. Worst of all is many of the vintage cards whose value was bumped up by the pandemic, and will never come down. To preface what I'm about to say, I'm very happy for everyone, that their collection grew in monetary value, I hold nothing against you. When collecting on a budget, you save a little bit of money to the side for your purchases. A 1952 Mantle in an Authentic or 1 went from a "somewhat realistic possibility in a few years with saving" to "Not a shot in hell until I retire" because the card almost tripled in value. Thankfully, collecting is a journey, but damn can it be disheartening at times. |

So glad I'm just a life long collector and don't give 2 shits about value in my cards.. That dude in the vid looks like he might have an aneurysm..

Secondly, in regards to "free money" given out to many who ended up not necessarily needing it, you also referred to it using the term "stimulus money". In addition to providing support and relief to individuals and businesses in need, I always thought the additional or secondary purpose of these loans and other payments was in fact to get excess money in people's hands so they would end up spending it on things they may not have otherwise, so as to actually be a stimulant to our overall economy and help keep it from tanking in the midst of the pandemic. You actually refer to it as "stimulus money", but then seem to denigrate some of those people and businesses that used and spent it as the government fully intended, to help stimulate and maintain our economy. The people/businesses that should be chastised, investigated, and prosecuted where applicable, are those that lied about their eligibility for and/or otherwise falsified their applications for PPP loans, or their subsequent requests and filings for PPP loan forgiveness. |

confession
I have a confession to make...I took a PPP loan to pay for my very expensive furry p*rn collection...featuring Jerry Nadler...Jerry

I have to wonder how many independent contractors, say real estate agents, who applied and received PPP loans used them wisely. If was to buy peanut butter, bread and milk just to survive, then good on them.

As for PPP, one of my best friends took 100k because he said they were just giving it out, all you had to do is apply. He is wealthy and his business did just as well through covid. That was a great program.... . |
While it is a bit tough to sit through the SCR video, I don't think we'll see an actual lawsuit coming from what they're saying about others on it as long as there is at last some factual information or circumstances to back up what they are saying. Threatening a lawsuit is just that, simply a baseless threat, until someone actually files a suit. And even then, that can just be an attempt to make the threat more real. The plaintiff can always drop the suit whenever they like. However, actually going through and filing and going forward with a case and taking it to trial can lead to a plaintiff possibly having to get on a witness stand and be willing to then answer some questions under oath. Somehow, I don't think the owners of any parties that SCR may be calling out would want themselves, or any of their employees, sitting on a witness stand and subject to perjury charges in regard to questions they might then get asked.

To be aware a lot of fraud and supporting evidence was revealed by someone does not mean one is “siding” with that person or that one even approves of that person. He was a fraudster himself.

I was totally oblivious to all the crud going on and all the "drama" in the social media platforms. I took about an hour to watch a few videos and see just how animated some of the video commentators can be.
It's almost impossible to figure out where the lies end and the truth begins. One thing is for certain, there's a lot of finger pointing and insults tossed across the platforms. One thing about the PPP loans is that there could be some truth (more or less, who knows) to the accusations tossed out by SCRadio but for certain, the optics look bad for the SCInvestment guy. There are so many better things that I can/will do with my time rather than watch the salvos going back and forth. My main thought is that I can't believe how stupid this is getting and hope all the garbage going on in the hobby doesn't destroy it. What is going to be really sad/bad is when the knuckleheads start getting physically violent over this and things escalate to the point where someone gets injured or worse. |
