That is a question Brian should have asked. Because that goes to the heart of his culpability, perhaps more than the actual act of cutting the card. But I did find myself liking Mastro. We are all imperfect.

Paul, respectfully, read his indictment. He committed every type of fraud known to the hobby and robbed his friends. He then got caught, cooperated against his co-conspirator/friends and paid none of his victims back (including his victim/friends) unless he got sued and was forced to cough some up. He's just another criminal in the hobby, just on a much higher level. The two years he received in prison was a gift, it should have been much more.
