As I understand it there is more to this than has come out on the board so far. From what I have heard, the reason that Mastro Auctions has not yet paid all consignors is that they are owed significant amounts from certain well respected people in the hobby. When these funds come in the consignors can be paid. Without going into names, supposedly two people owed Mastro Auctions about $400,000 each. In at least one case I have heard the matter is being litigated.
