We can help put the bad guys in prison

[RichardSimon]

If people do something about the bad guys, even little things, we can accomplish a lot.

I just received this e mail from an Oregon detective:

"Good Morning Mr. Simon,

Thank you for your tip to our office in November of 2011--Chad Baldwin plead guilty and was convicted and sentenced to prison for these crimes. See the article below:

Does this involve a current investigation: Case #11-11610

Does this involve something you heard on the new or in the paper: this involves a story that has been on the internet about Chad Baldwin.

Description of Criminal Activity: I have a blog on my website which is about autographs. I posted a story on the site about Chad Baldwin and your search warrant and investigation. Today I received an unsolicited e mail, allegedly from Mr. Baldwin. Here is the contents of the e mail: Hello. After reading the article on your website concerning the search warrant on my home on August 23,2011 concerning the claim of non legit certifcates being sold with signed items, I want to say that I was not arrested and as of today 11/24/2011 I have not been charged with a crime. There was no evidence recovered concerning me being appart of any deliberate forgery sales and no evidence proving ( other victims) as stated by the CCSO article. What there is however is a high number of people in the public that want to ignore the info that professionals in the industry have made available and continue to make purchases that are of risk even after being advised by the seller of the risk and having the chance to investigate the item in question before purchasing...Then afterwards if for some reason they are not happy then they turn to the police or some other person or agency for simpathy and help...Keep up the good work on your site!..CB -- The e mail address it came from is crbbaldwin@gmail.com
