The "shill-bidding" in my opinion went on far longer-Captain Obvious.

Hopefully, the sentence is severe enough to deter similar conduct by other auction houses. It would certainly deter me, but not so sure about some of the jokers in the business. Time will tell.

For the millions that piece of garbage stole from the hobby I would sit in the joke of a jail he is going to for 17 months any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
