If so that is certainly a twist. Lemme see how this works...the agent who was conducting a multi year long investigation into PWCC leaves the bureau and ends up working at/for PWCC? And this info gets leaked now, a few days after we hear that Brent left PWCC?

I am refraining from commenting until I make sure the Brian B he refers to is the former FBI agent.
It would be even more ironic if Brent had stayed at Fanatics. Former target of your criminal investigation now your coworker.

The entire thing is just...uncomfortable. Hey this is a great hobby but you must keep your eyes trained just on your cards.

I am happy to report the FBI is still knee-deep in the hobby. I spoke with 3 Special Agents that are here and they seem highly interested in the hobby. I wish there were 50 of them investigating (no, that doesn't make sense, just sayin').

That is great to hear, Leon. Not sure what this means n terms of the big picture but great to know they are interested in the industry. Did they hand out any "invitations" that you know of?

They are still investigating old and new cases as far as I know. I don't know what they did, or didn't do, so don't know if any invitations LOL were given out. I am just happy they are still here.

I am sure the card doctors of the world are real nervous.

Right Peter. They have names and solid evidence on the 15-20+ T206's with the fake auto's and going on 6 years later has anything been done?

The only changes I've seen is disappearing scans and ebay making it near impossible to track shady sellers/buyers.

Even a resident ding dong who got burned on a trimmed card, went back to the well and came back crying it happened again. People.will care, some won't, UT eventually it may drive new money from the hobby. Us old dinosaurs won't be around forever, and there needs to be new hobbyist who care about thr cards, just not the dollar figure attached to their portfolio.
