Wasn't the same guy busted a few years ago? I remember another one of the middle men from Denver being talked about before.

Or at least it was the same cert number they lifted from an auction...

I Remember that name quite well. Lots of shadiness. And he's 82 yrs old WTF? You would think he's old enough to know better.

Wut? This sounds like WIWAG. This wasn't Copperfield's MO I don't think.

McNeil and his co-conspirators allegedly passed the fake cards off as real ones by using actual tamper-resistant cases “obtained” from Company-1, as well as Company-1 logos and grading labels.

I thought he was either resealing slabs or had slabs made for him overseas. I recall a debate here between Evan Mathis and Michael Wentz as to which it was.

and if my understanding is correct he was arrested and charged but did not even have to post Bail.

I remember this all too well Peter like it was yesterday. When some clown sent this to me last week and now reading this. Mayo he rot in a cell.

And yes this has to do with the "Copperfield" guy.

Wait this was years ago, you mean investigations aren't concluded in a matter of weeks just because we want results???

I'm way more concerned with counterfeit airplane parts and medical devices.

Just sayin.

I thought blockchain was going to do away with counterfeit stuff.
