PWCC Huigens Now Has a Criminal Defense Attorney

Without getting into the muck, I find it very strange some of the naive accolades being spread here.

Jeff representing Brent is good for Brent, Jeff, The Hobby. Pick two.

It basically guarantees we will never get anything close to a full accounting, and I would bet a lot of money PWCC keep their business and no one at that company pays anymore then a financial price.

You have to be pretty naive to think that a small amount of buyers getting restitution outweighs a full accounting of what has happened here.

Hope I’m wrong but I’m betting that this is the beginning of the end, buyers getting restitution will be signing NDA’s and our knowledge of the scope of this thing will be limited to the tiny percentage of cards the BO guys found.

I don't think there are NDAs but as I posted there is IMO no chance that whatever amount Brent and a few other card doctors pay back will even scratch the surface of the amount of their ill gotten gains, or the harm inflicted on the hobby.

Is it better than no restitution? Yes, of course. Is it an adequate punishment for the crime? That to me is the real question. We'll see what happens.

No restitution IMO was never a realistic scenario. One of PSA, PWCC, Ebay or the buyers credit card companies would have paid up. UFFDAH recieved restitution on the Maris very early on.

So I don’t consider buyers getting resitution for cards identified to be a win, thats the baseline.

I just want the cheater effer to come out and say HE targeted the cards that were to be trimmed and altered, HE ran a shill bidding operation, he cheated e-bay, HE didn't pay his taxes on ill gotten gains. HE put stupid stickers on cards he knew were his and trimmed. HE was Eddie Embelisher in his descriptions. HE was the Maestro. How fitting his name is Brent Mastro, pun intended.

Knowing Brent and Betsy Huigens, sincere good luck with that....

Don't leave out chemical cleaning as long as you're making a list.

How could I forget, the chemicals.

Especially as a hazardous waste specialist. I hope they are getting rid of their flammable liquids on a hazardous waste manifest. Those illegal dumping charges are tough to beat.

The cards themselves are probably hazardous.
