After paying their dues, should hobbyists who committed fraud be allowed back ?

As I get older I see more shades of gray than I used to. 10 years ago it would've been "absolutely not." Now I personally know one person I would make an exception for. Of course the more details of the story I've heard, the more I think (and he's never said this himself) that he got set up and screwed over.

Of course if part of their sentencing was that they are never allowed to go into business in the hobby again that might be a different story.

Nope. Why would anyone want to associate with someone who has defrauded the industry we are all involved in?

The best way to be aware of fraud is to be taught by a fraudster. But I�d put them on a very, very, very, very, very short lease.

I trust your judgement in this matter, Leon.
I go back to the Full Count days and have been fortunate to interact with/learn from many.
