List of Shillers/Victims released re. MAstro

For those of you who don't frequent the other board...this today in the news!



the list (of criminals) is revealed
the names of all consignors/dealers their shill bidders names and the injured party names have been revealed in court documents from mastro auctions 2007 and 2008
what everyone probably already knows or believes most of your big name dealers are revealed as the biggest consignors and every item they consigned they shilled
while many items were shilled by mastro auctions more items were actually shilled by many big name dealers having their wives partners friends bid up their items including many who appear on this board
the list also includes the buyer of the lot and how much the shill bidding cost him
gotta love the peoples right to open court documents
its a shame only 2 years worth are available or lawsuits would be flying out against almost every dealer
i can see other auction houses running to burn all their records

Greed does nothing but bring out the worst in people. Sad days for the hobby.

...i've seen "important" hobby people rip off other hobby people right to their face in person....so i wasn't fazed at all with the list. at the end of the day it's a competition to get stuff that other people want also. it may be a so-called hobby but i don't think it's very communal at all. half the congrats and praise for your latest PU are disingenous imo.
