I also did a fair amount of digging on my own, and even wrote webscraping scripts to investigate PWCC's user base (somewhere on my computer I have a database with every feedback entry they ever received on eBay). While I agree that there are some concerns worth looking into, I haven't found any of them to be unexplainable. And I encountered mountains of conjecture and faulty reasoning along the way. If it turns out that they were committing these crimes, then I will gladly board the train at that time and throw shit on them as well. But I just can't do it at this point. I want to see the process play out first. The worst I can say is that I was late to the party, but I'd rather be late than wrongfully accuse.
Now the Joe Clemons guy and his BGS black labels... Ya, that's messed up. There is no scenario whatsoever where he wasn't given preferential treatment.

Yeah, as I recall from the guys who were good at that sort of math, the odds were beyond staggering that all his black labels were just the result of his "eagle eye" and not favoritism.
