The BODA guys are still at work but lost a trove of historical photographs when Worthpoint decided to clear millions of old eBay scans from their site, presumably to save hard drive space.
If you check the many threads, they are still outing cards, but no longer at the same rate. PWCC getting thrown off of eBay also led to less heat being directed at them, since they're kind of in hiding.
There definitely was an FBI investigation started, and there have been other arrests in the memorabilia space in the last couple of years. It's possible something is still happening, but much closer-lipped than earlier. However, it's possible they also shelved it. Now that the market has cooled, it's quite possible that people who were scammed now bring it to authorities with more regularity, because they are now losing money because of their investments in trimmed/altered cards. When the modern card market was doubling and tripling monthly during 2020-21, it seemed like even the altered cards were worth more than they were bought for.
