so what happens AFTER a crime is committed is a means for making the crime less punishable?

"Mastro acknowledged “having cut the sides to the T206 Honus Wagner card despite prior statements to the contrary,” the papers said."

Wouldn't this admission be enough to determine that the fraud was over $70k?

Well,
I just don't get it. A poor guy robs the corner 7-11 and get 25 years and a guy steals who knows how much (more than 70k IMO) and gets less than 4 years. I guess it does pay to have $$ and buddies in high places.
May I add this "time" will be spent at a federal country club!! what a racket!!

That a boy, blame the victims!! That's the American way I guess)
.
Auction houses earn their money by charging buyers and consigners a percentage of the final price of an item they sell, and DePodesta’s filing said numerous consigners helped Mastro jack up the prices of items in his auctions.

Bidders played a role, too, the document said: “Many potential bidders knew or should have known that shill bidding was present in the auction, but were willing to pay an inflated value of an item in order to own it.”

30 months seems ok to me. I know someone who murdered his wife and only spent 8 years in prison. As far as the guy robbing a 7-11 and getting 25 years, he will spend less than 1/2 of that in prison. And he was probably brandishing a gun. I know a lot of collectors want him to be hanged, but think about it.
