Very interesting. The 30 month sentence does seem rather light - especially since Mastro won't testify against Allen according to the article. The $70K amount does seem very low in my opinion. Of course Doug Allen will likely be accountable for a significant amount of money lost due to the shill bidding too.
As for the card doctoring, I agree that it is a huge problem and believe me I've tried to get law enforcement involved at a Federal, state and local level. I know that several card doctors are aware of my failed efforts and sadly, it's empowered them that much more since they know how hard it is to get law enforcement to take the issue seriously. It's all very sad.
