You all just wanted a different standard for the auction house run by a convicted fraudster that was not applicable to everyone else. If you know and know why it is wrong for me to do it, then you must know why it is wrong. Is it the worst behavior in card land in 2024? No, but you all surely get why some people objected and held a consistent standard with carve outs for certain corporations and persons.

It's very different for a business that has consignors it will potentially need to reimburse, an ongoing auction with hundreds of bidders, and an insurer (or more than one) it potentially will need to deal with and agree with (or not) on values of stolen cards. It's not at all the same thing as one guy selling one card on the BST. Just because you can construct some overly simplistic analogy does not make the analogy meaningful. Again, who was, or could have been, hurt in this massive outrageous fraud?
