DavidI'm disappointed that I couldn't find any news stories online. There was a press release from the District Attorney's office, but since I live about 3 hours away I don't have access to the local printed papers and I didn't see anything online.
I'm not sure what I can and can't say about the case, but the detective handling everything told me I could let anyone in the hobby know about Hooper's activities since his arrest is a matter of public record now.
He's been doing this for years. I'd be shocked if people from his area aren't familiar with him, as his advertised auctions contained a lot of expensive, albeit fake, stuff.
I just wanted to get the word out on this guy. Hopefully he can't rip off anyone in the future.
