You stated your situation above. If I were you I would just let the comments go. You apologized in the email to me and to the board. You don't owe anyone anything as far as I can tell. And if anyone doesn't like it....well, that is ok too. It is America and is great again!!

To Anthony's credit, I inquired on the Blome's Cobb as well just a few months ago and his story was such obvious bullshit that I just had to see how far he'd push it. Lucky for me, he had already defrauded someone else on the board with the card and couldn't pretend sell it to me. Glad to have you back, Anthony!

Quick question here....since Ted was the one defrauded, was he ever actually apologized to?

I am generally good with apologies but without reading through all of the previous threads....was the buyer made whole? Did he get all his money back.
I suppose that would be the true test of an apology.

PayPal made the refund. Seller was told the card was fake. Seller then avoided all communication. If it wasn't for PayPal buyer never would've gotten a refund.

Maybe I am missing something here. But after reading through the thread, I can't believe the OP is allowed back on the board.

I think most of us feel the same way. He basically robbed another member and has never apologized to him(as far as I know). He made a half assed apology to the forum and never even really said what exactly for. Then has an attitude about it when people are questioning him.

All I do know is it is Leon's sandbox and he gets to make the rules.

That's one benefit of using PayPal . Still a hassle though .

Caveat emptor and all, but it would be nice if we didn't do things that actively endangered the emptors.

why are scammers always so sensitive when you call them out on it?

i'm 100% positive if pp didn't refund the money the board would've never heard from him again.

In that case does PayPal get their money back from the seller? If not, and the "seller" still has the money, it seems fair to me he should give it back to the defrauded buyer.

Paypal gets their money back or they freeze the account but it is pretty clear that Anthony did not do right by the buyer, his apology was anemic, at best, and he was too defensive when confronted here. We must not have all the facts because it makes no sense to me either why he would be permitted to come back.

Anthony is lucky that it was not Lichtman who ended up with the card. The least of his problems would have been whether or not he was allowed back on the board.

I don't like it at all. I can't believe you let this guy back on the board. I hope for the sake of the rest of this community he is at least banned from the bst permanently.

I would say he owes PayPal, Inc. $650 if the story has been spelled out properly in this thread.

This was my thought as well. Even if you remove the overprint and then beat the hell out of that card, it still sells for 4 figures. If it's too good to be true...

yeah, since it wasn't a very smart scam, not a big deal.

Seems like to me it would be nice if he refund the money himself. That would be a nice gesture if contrition were real. Just my $.02
