Question about Coaches Corner

[D. Bergin]

I have my suspicions they might be government informants. Only thing that makes any sense why they haven't been busted yet.

My opinion above may be worth in the hundreds, or perhaps even the thousands of dollars.............

I have thought the same thing about them and a few others that seem to be bullet proof.

I see that CC is still replete with mountains of IMO pathetic fakes that should have warranted federal investigation over a decade ago. I called out Christopher Morales on this very forum nine years ago, challenging him to support his authentications before his peers, and he slunk away.

Now I see they don't even bother authenticating anything in the way they used to...which was Morales, Frangipani, et al. What a sad state of affairs when an outfit like that is still dumping such crap on the market over so many years.

Oh, and Mr. Morales? My offer is still on the table. It will be my pleasure to prove you the incompetent ass that I believe you to be.

I believe this was the thread if I'm not mistaken.

That thread was where you and I first met .
Now we have fun on FB .

As I have stated previously a member here, who rarely posts, who had much saved data on CC worked on an investigation with a postal inspector for quite some time.
The contact with the postal inspector was initiated through a US atty in PA by a member here who posts all the time .
Seemingly there was enthusiasm in this investigation and then for no particular reason the investigation was halted.

That old thread was 901 posts, quite entertaining.
I think there are multiple reasons authorities haven't shut down CC yet. First off, I don't think they are some kind of front for a legal organization. I think they are committing the alleged fraud they do all on their own.

Autograph authentication is unfortunately subjective unless there is direct, physical (visual) evidence of it being done. Without that CC is giving their opinion and it's hard to bust someone for that. And I guess they haven't peaked anyone's attention enough (yet) to do a full blown sting operation. I have personally spent, altogether, at least a few hours speaking with authorities about CC. There is a geographic issue too. Some authorities in parts of the country might be more apt to go after these folks than authorities in other parts. Many authorities just might not be that interested when there are so many other high profile catastrophes to investigate. Sad but true I think.. It might be easier to get some local officials, wherever they are located, interested in the case. Then at least that obstacle would be cleared.

I haven't been to their site in years until I read this thread. What is with all the Barry Halper COA's?
