Nash's credibility is greatly, greatly impaired, no question-- but to entirely dismiss what he illuminates might be a mistake. Just because someone has committed bad acts, has exhibited poor character, and may even still be doing so doesn't mean every single thing they say is a complete lie.

There could be some truth, even a modicum, in the things he points out. It is up to each individual to evaluate what Nash says and carefully weigh his points and evidence and of course account for his possible motivations. At the very least, though, it could cause collectors to more carefully scrutinize certain items, which is never a bad thing.

I understand the knee-jerk impulse to utterly dismiss the guy, but there's no harm whatsoever in mining his current observations for even a kernel of truth.

I personally agree with Leon's statement above; if Nash really does care about what he's doing and wants his words to be taken as seriously as possible given his past, a self-analytical article would help the matter.
