Why the apology 8+ years later? Did something happen recently, like an investigation? Just wondering what caused this level of regret all of a sudden.

Its a tragedy. A modern tragedy at that

Yes, it is common-law fraud. Period. It is probably mail and wire fraud as well. I suspect it is actionable both civilly and criminally, assuming the statute of limitations hasn't run, federally and in every state in which it occurred. Since a lot of states have the discovery rule, I suspect that he may have some issues to confront. I don't have a clue on the criminal side.

I thought he was a lawyer, but perhaps I was mistaken. In any event, if I was him as a lawyer or if I was actually his lawyer, I would tell him to STFU and really wish that he had done that much earlier. In any event, sad deal.

For someone like me who is more or less a casual collector, delving into more serious collecting , something greater than the couple hundred bucks a card I may purchase now, becomes less likely the more I read of issues like this.

Exactly. I myself have several of these buybacks (none purchased from the OP) that I was planning on selling or trading in an effort to put those resources more into items I'm focused on. Probably not a good time to sell now. Always known and unknown collateral damage caused by fraud.

I don't see how this can be debated, the mail/wire fraud part is crystal clear. Anybody who's seen "The Firm" knows it.

So nobody else was impressed by his miraculous comeback from terminal cancer in 2009???
