What has changed?

Going on two years now since my original post. Not seeing any changes by the third party graders or major sellers, nor any movement on the law enforcement side. Disheartening to say the least.

I think this was mostly predictable though. I think a lot of the accusations likely never had any teeth to begin with. And even for the ones that did, it's not exactly clear that those acts were even criminal. But the investigations may still be ongoing? Who knows. Maybe covid delayed things, but I think that's becoming more and more of a longshot with every passing day.

I think the tide is turning, I know 99% of people on this board are extremely bullish and think it’s only going to continue to go up and they might be right but I’m the one percent that is very risk off it can’t keep running like this in my mind especially with tapering and rate hikes Coming. Sure it could be months away but the gravy train is going to stop. A lot of this crazy action to the upside has been driven by investors with a lot of money once they exit and find another way to make money things will change.
Will You Be Able To Get Bargains on Key Higher End GOATS no, will you get much more reasonable chances, IMO yes.

In terms of people held accountable for their actions this is 2021 nobody gets held accountable for their actions that’s one thing I’ve learned over the past year and a half.

A year and a half is the start of a big investigation, from what we have seen in at least one instance. Time will tell but I am still optimistic. I have faith in the authorities.
