Coach's Corner - The Perfect Crime?

[sports-rings]

I am just amazed that as time goes by (and I am talking years and years), the people involved in the Coach's Corner crimes run free and unpunished.

So, I wish to ask others, have they developed and executed "the perfect crime"?

They advertised for years and grew their business through Sports Collecters Digest. I fought SCD as hard as I could to drop them as an advertiser. They didn't drop them for many years.

I suggested on this site a few months ago, perhaps a class action suit would work. No one ever starts one. (I would think that auction houses would do want to do this as Coaches Corner ruins the hobby by reducing prices, floods the market with fakes, drives collectors from the hobby who learn their items bought from CC are workthless). I would also think collectos and those that have purchased from CC would do this.

The PA Attorney general, the Postal Inspectors and the FBI as far as I know have done nothing either.

Is it possible that Lee, his business parnters and their trusted authenticators are so tight knit, that they will never turn on each other? Is it possible that Lee, and his henchmen are so tight that their secret dealings never are discussed with anyone outside their circle?

The latest instance of their perfect crime: They are using the Steiner name by photo-copying the Steiner certificate that came with a chair and incorportating it into display peices.

I am tired of asking for this nightmare to end, so my post today asks, is this "the perfect crime" and no one will be able to stop them?

My belief that a class auction suit would work, but I was told this is too much money. If we all figured out how much this company costs our hobby, I wold imagine we could fund our money together and do something. I would be first in line to contribute money.
