I have not seen the complaint, but it looks like Dave Forman consigned those cards for Mastro to sell on his behalf.

Those are 4 consignments that Mastro sold on behalf of Forman.

Nice Jackie!! Too bad the graders were harsher on Dave than the rest of us or it might have received a 100.

I think not Mr. Mitt. This has every appearance of a genuine dispute, to my eye.

[Mr. Mitt]

Just conjecture, since I have absolutely no facts to back this up, but what about the possibility of Forman shilling for Mastro? It’s not inconceivable that they were working together with an agreement that Forman would re-consign whatever he, unfortunately in their eyes, won while bidding up lots. This could have been ongoing and lead to the massive “paper” debt in his name. Now that the Feds are involved and the books had to be opened, the excuse of a deadbeat bidder needed to be fabricated in order to disguise the shill scam. Any thoughts?
