Mastro Results: Proof of Shilling or other factors at play?

Barry, yes I'm asking for opinions/speculation.

The FBI's investigation is not a secret, nor are some of the allegations they are looking into. (The FBI subpeonad Mastro and PSA at The National for this very reason.) This directly effects our hobby -- and in a protective manner, mind you, so I think it is abolsutely a fair issue to discuss and to speculate.

The first auction post The National and Mastro's auction total falls off more than 50%. Don't you find that the least suspicious, or in the least as this is significant news within our hobby, worthy of discussing?

Honestly, Barry, going back to a thread on the card board, as shocking as it may sound, my opinions are more in line with Bruce Dorskind's than yours on the subject. The investigation is there. It's a good thing for the hobby. And let's talk about it.
