Mastro indicted

[danc]

I hate all these authenticators (most all of them) and what Shelly did doesn't compare to what some authenticators have done. He didn't forge or authenticate, but he witnessed and partook in the scheme and he did do his time.

It's a crime (anything that has to do with this hobby), but it's not murder. I think authenticators whose sole goal is to deceit a customer is as bad as the forger because he legitimizes the entire operation. There seems to be no penalty for anyone who opens up shop, proclaims themselves to be an expert and contributes to legitimizing a criminal operation.

Got to agree with you there, Dan. (Except for the part about Shelly.)

[danc]

What do you do to better the hobby, David? Anything outside of living on the Net54? It's 2 A.M, why aren't you in bed? Afraid your going to miss a post to respond to?

You sleep-writing, Dan?

[danc]

You know Shelly through his past and through his posts here. I know Shelly and if you want to believe what you want to believe, there is no way to sway you. Outside of the time we had fun on Prisco's expense, it's good to know we agree on something else.

I have posted, before tonight, maybe 4 thread additions over the last six months. I mostly lurk every few days nowadays.

Speaking of the Orange County Housewives, Let's not forget "Jesus Jugs", criminal seedy loser of a husband...that's right, it's dog faced, Jim Bellino. One of the original Donald Fryingpangianni wannabe's.

Thanks Shelly for your take. Sadly you are right. There will probably be no jail. That's why all the forgers, FDE's and authenticators thumb their noses at getting caught and do what they want with-out the fear of jail. They take the "who gives a shit If I get caught" attitude. Good for them.. Bad for the hobby.

I am told by people much smarter than myself that Doug, Mark and Bill will all do some time if found guilty. Almost Everything this person has told me has come true. He says it's only 100% though....so that does doesn't leave some wiggle room. I hope it all gets worked out and the hobby proceeds in a more positive manner.

And David, people can change even though you don't think so. I appreciate Shelly being on the board and let this be a warning that if you continually berate him for posting it won't be allowed for long. You can have your opinion of course, but as I have said many times, no one should be afraid that every single time they post they will be berated. We know how you feel already. Thanks for your understanding.

Actions speak louder than words David. Give Shelly time and take note of his actions. I have made mistakes before and do not expect people to hate me for the rest of my life. Few of us on here are unaware of Shelly's past so it is no news flash.

+1 Leon, way to go
We know how David feels, about me, about Chris, about DanC and about Shelly, we know over and over and over and over, ad infinitum. It has sounded like a broken record for a long time now.
You have to go pretty far off course on this board to get a public warning from Leon,,

So glad you're back from vacation, Dick. We missed you stirring the shit, for absolutely no reason.

What a consummate ass you are.
