Maestro pleads guilty, faces 2 1/2 years in prison

[Kenny Cole]

I don't know, but would assume, that Illinois law is similar to that of most jurisdictions and that the discovery rule tolls the statute of limitations until the fraud is or reasonably could have been discovered. If so, I think there's a decent argument that the statute of limitations on any fraud claim against Mastro has only recently began to run.

According to Jeff it was obvious Mastro was shilling years and years ago.

Yeah, but gee, the shiller adamantly denied it. There's your question of fact on the statute. Who you gonna believe?

Im just gonna go out on a limb and bet the next time this card gets sold, it is sold privately and with undisclosed terms.

From the article,

"Mastro 'personally cut the side borders…using a paper slicing machine,' then sold it without disclosing the alterations, the filing stated".

Does anyone here believe that this was the only card he altered and was later sold in a PSA holder?
