Holy F---, a former student of mine

The charges will be quietly dropped as Gizmos story falls apart, or this will be the funniest card trial in hobby history.

I fully expect the former, but I pray for the latter

This would the start of a good Soap Opera or Reality Show on the World of Baseball Collecting and all the dangerous pitfalls.

If it was a reality show we would ban all Karkrapians, Chrisley's, Jersey Shore folks, Married at First Sight and all of the other pathetic clowns that appear on those and similar 'reality' shows. No, I don't watch any of them. Unfortunately, when I am on the treadmill late at night watching re-runs of Castle, FBI, NCIS or the such, I am bombarded with ads for all those and others.

I am so flying out for the trial. Getting there days in advance so I can get front row. Just saying in advance I will be charged with contempt of court for uncontrollable laughing during Gizmo's testimony.

I just read it over

Zero sense to know you got $1000 and then wait the next day? What the guy gave you $1000 by mistake instead of 100k?

Going to be hard to prove anything without receipts...dont know what cards taken dont know how much money taken. The dealer is the 'professional' in this and a greater duty on him. Would be interesting to see if 100k in cash was regularly reported on prior tax returns as well

I didn’t fly out for the national. But I will fly first class to attend this show. This has the potential to be a comedic goldmine

Exactly. I will clear my calendar. Find the finest hotel. Business class all the way. Dinner is on me.

Are full, official transcripts publicly available? It would be a blast to have it posted here.

Defense Attorney: Didn't you count the money?
Plaintiff: It wasn't my job.

No way in hell this is going to trial...

You can file charges against a chicken sandwich! Has he, the alleged suspect been charged via summons or arrest warrant/indictment? According to the article, it looks like AC PD requested he returns to AC to answer questions and make a statement. Seems like the AC County Prosecutor declined to make this an extraditable offense.
