AaronAgreed. Robert Planich should be on the trip. Since suing him obviously hasn't made the issues he raised (and revealed) go away, you should try dealing with him as a concerned collector, just as you seem to be offering collectors here. (You should also drop your lawsuit against him since it just makes you guys look more guilty by trying to silence a whistle-blower.)
BTW, if you think flying five collectors out for a carefully arranged visit to "examine" your authentication process (great PR move!) is a better idea than to take a strong, ethical stand and stop allowing your authenticators to act as dealers and consignors, then you guys are in worse shape than you think.
