Bummer, but hopefully he did his Christmas shopping early this year.

Got his azz handed to him. Hopefully it serves as a warning to others.

Fantastic sentence for another hobby scumbag. It may take time but eventually the Feds get their man.

Of the three main hobbyists who have been charged and convicted (Mastro, Allen and Rogers), naturally all three cooperated with the Feds. Of the three, two screwed the government with double dealing afterward. This sort of phenomenon with cooperators going bad rarely happens. But as I've long maintained, the fraudsters in this hobby are more duplicitous than nearly any Ponzi schemer I've ever run across.

I wish somehow the George Brace Photos archive could somehow be returned to Mary Brace. But, it has likely been broken up in bits 'n pieces and distributed all across the country, if not the globe. Crying shame. Sad.

So could Net54 do something about it?

Could we set up a fund to buy the photos when they come to auction, and then send them to her?

Would members here being willing to send her any original Brace photos they had purchased? (I would personally, but have never bought any brace photos before).

While every advanced collector in the country isn't on this site ... a lot are.
Over a period of several years, it might start adding up. And I'd have to think that while the sting wouldn't be completely gone ... she'd LOVE going to her mailbox and every once in a while finding one of the original photos with a note saying from Net54.

Cheers,
