Default Mastro sentenced
If anyone is looking to partner up with him to shill bid their own lots in the next Mastro auction you'll have to wait for 85% of 20 months. Sorry, fellas.

Let the mock outrage, hand-wringing and pontificating from the best and the brightest begin.

No restitution. Bill and his painful urination will start serving his sentence in late November.

His victims almost certainly experienced painful defecation at some point.

A question for board's legal community...

He has been properly tried and sentenced to prison. Why wasn't he (or any other convict in the same situation) immediately taken to the hoosegow? Doesn't allowing a millionaire felon three months to plan an escape present a significant flight risk?

No, for a non-violent convicted defendant it would have been shocking for him to be taken away to immediately start serving a 20 month sentence. Plus Mastro needs to remain close by until Allen is sentenced as his cooperation may still be needed.

20 months? Seems pretty light considering the crimes he's committed, I guess turning on his cohorts did the trick.

It's the most famous card in the world now, doubt anyone is losing money on it.

As Peter said, the last several owners more than likely knows the history of the card (how could someone not?) and still bought it anyways. It will be interesting to see what it will bring next time it goes to sale...the notoriety of it will probably keep the $ value up... If I won it I would send it to PSA to get it re graded and see it I can get bumped up....

Just tell them that you are a "friend of Bill", friends of Bill get preferential treatment.

The last several owners of the card may have believed the card was trimmed but it was largely speculation and not known for sure. Now the trimmer of the card admitted to altering it. I doubt someone would pay the same 2.8 million for the card knowing what we all know now.
