Some days not logging it at work puts me soooo behind! First and foremost, welcome back Ralph!Glad you guys got everything worked out.
Second - WOOHOO on the lawsuit! And I love that they're getting him for mail fraud, too!!
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
It will certainly take some time, and he may get far less than 80 years, maybe only probation-with hefty fines, but I would suspect that he isn't feeling so happy these days. That alone makes my day.
Too true Randall.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

He proably won't do any time, but the fines will be significant...and it doesn't matter...a small time white collar crook like this will be ruined by something that destroys his finances like this...eventually, to dig himself out of the hole, he'll try some other scam...and that's the one he goes to jail for. Unless of course, this WAS his next scam...
Like I said, the tax issue is what will really get him. Hope he filed some very clear returns...haha...

Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Dont know if anyone has noticed but you can leave a comment under the tv news video of the faker story. So far the comments are not really representative of the sick nature of this clown. If we could get as many of you to leave appropriate comments there to show that many people are pissed off about this, it would be great.
Try to be civil and polite as possible, we don't want to look like a bunch of fools..yes?

I posted the following as well. I wanted to take a different approach in my post vs. what a lot of the people are posting. I agree with Darkman. Take a moment and put your comment out there.
Here is what I posted:
This is a great day for book collectors. Kudos to everyone involved in the investigation. Guys like this have hurt the value of the market and created distrust in new collectors. However, it’s important to understand that he is only one. Several more like him still exists in the market and WILL BE REMOVED.
It takes the efforts of all to educate ourselves and investigate any signature clearly before buying. Don’t be afraid to buy a signed book because of this guy. Do your homework and get help.
The value of the book market will rise again.

Very good Ralph, it would be great if this thread gets hit by as many different thoughts that are related . You know media, they only keep reporting what they think people are affected by. If this little station gets overwhelming feedback on this issue, it will get bigger and better coverage. We need this national and international. Come on all lets make it big news......I posted the following as well. I wanted to take a different approach in my post vs. what a lot of the people are posting. I agree with Darkman.

I can second that .......
If it weren't for integrity...what would you be? Ka is a wheel.....
Wow just read four pages of responses in this thread - and like Wiz I was shocked to see Ralph leave and elated to see him come back! Too often flame wars erupt on message boards and for no real reason at all feelings are hurt and people say things they later regret! I am glad it all appears to be a big misunderstanding and that all is well in the land of Calvin's Corner.
And Ceri I know it took great pains to shut down SKFAKES and I am sure this really made your day!

Yes. The seller "frankfinders" is a known forger and was in the Forger's Hall of Fame on Ceri's SK Fakes site a while back.
