Honus Wagner Card Case Plea Deal Rejected Again by U.S. Judge

[Leon]

Probably should have tried for 31 months this time. I am surprised the defense and prosecutor didn't have the judge's thinking more in tune.

I am not familiar with US justice... according to your Law rules... how many time of jail Bill mastro is admisible with all these charges ?

Many years of jail ?

The Bill Mastro history is a verry sad history. I will try to explain my idea. This guy had all the potential, the knowledge,the expertise, for do a great positive and honnest career in this hobby .... but he choose at some time in his life to take the wrong way . I don t know this guy personnally but with all the read i made about Mastro i think this guy is a verry smart guy... but he decided to use his mind to criminal thing...
verry sad.

If you were victimized by Bill Mastro and want the judge to know the truth about what he's done -- or perhaps you disagree with his lawyer's contention that you weren't defrauded in his auctions because everyone knew Mastro auctions were crooked -- please let the judge know via letter. The judge's address is:

Judge Ronald A. Guzman
219 South Dearborn Street
Chicago, Illinois 60604

Make sure you note the name of the case and case number: United States v. William Mastro, No. 12 CR 567-1 (N.D. Ill.)

I was not defrauded because the item I won subsequently went up in value.

[g_vezina_c55]

I never bid or buy on any item he has for sale. I don't know this guy.
I only read on the internet about it.

I don't understand the legal stuff, either. What's the short version on what exactly will happen to Bill Mastro ?

Thanks for posting this Jeff. I am absolutely going to let the judge know my thoughts. Whether I was victimized I'll never know (I am assuming all records of shilling are long gone) but I bought more than a few things that ended at my max bid.
Question. This is for mastronet.com purchases only correct? What wre they called before mastronet, my memory is failing me.

Back in the day I believe they were Mastro Fine Auctions and Mastro&Steinbach before that?
