Mastro and Allen Indicted

[ElCabron]

It's been several years for those cases, too. I don't want to be greedy, but another round would be nice.

Will we soon be able to bid on his ridiculously ancient computer that he has sitting on his desk? I'm assuming he'll need some money once he gets out of the chokey. *cough*

PS - Ray Charles saw this coming.

Will the 2006 PSA world series of authentication title be in jeopardy now if charges are proved?

I'm just happy this happened long after Steinbach's passing. I remember when he was with Pat Quinn and I used to look forward to their listings in SCD.

This should be interesting.

Mastro, the founder of Mastro Auctions and the brother of Randy Mastro, Rudy Giuliani's former deputy mayor and longtime aide, was charged with one count of wire and mail fraud. His attorney, Michael Monico, said he expects the case will be resolved without a trial, indicating that Mastro is cooperating with authorities.

Mastro dropped out of the hobby in 2009, after he shut down Mastro Auctions, which once generated as much as $50 million a year in sales. He sold his legendary memorabilia collection in 2010.

"Bill accepts responsibility for the actions that led to this case," Monico said. "For many years, Bill has dedicated himself to religious and charitable works."

Cooperating indeed! I am suprised these quotes from Mastro's lawyer in the Daily News report didn't turn up in the US Attorney's press release:

"Bill accepts responsibility for the actions that led to this case," Monico said. "For many years, Bill has dedicated himself to religious and charitable works."
