    If Bob is Chinese and from China, he could not possibly be in the Mafia.

    Bob has created his own Chinese mafia.

    The plot thickens :smuggrin:

    Let's ALSO say that Bobby is in the F.B.I and is trying to take Bill down. But doesn't have enough evidence to convict Bill.

    OK, then, both Bill and Bob get the shaft and eBay
    and PayPal keep and split the $25K as well as the
    PP vig and the FV fee.

    What if Bob and Bill team up and take over the shaft and hack into ebay/paypal and take back their 25k plus interest, and now have over 2.5 million supporters?

    It can be a serious problem. I have thought about it. What if a "powerseller" shipped me a package, I opened it up, and it was empty? How do you prove a negative? Answer is, you can't. To me, this will always be something irritating me in the back of my mind about ever buying something of major value through the mail. In fact, if I ever do, I am pretty sure I will want the carrier to stay there so I can open the package in front of him/her to prove whether the package actually contained what is was supposed to.

    I'm curious about this "burrito" character......
    Is that their given name or did he/she have it legally changed? If the latter is true, was the name changed to avoid certain legal or personal issues from their past? Also, what is this persons favorite food? If they don't in fact enjoy burritos, it could raise a whole other set of questions, all of which are integral to this scenario!

    infact, she despises burrito's and got it legally changed for some personal issues.

    That may be true if you had your facts straight.......
    Bob may have been born in China, but there is reason to believe Bob is a Pakistani woman in the Irish mafia.

    I love this thread!!!

    Part 2: The big scam
    Bob and Bill escape from jail, hack into paypal and give Bob his coin back and Bill his 25k. Burrito is caught and flees the country and heads to China. Bob and Bill seperate, and Bob begins a scamming buisness with Bill. Bob programs an account builder on ebay that automatically creates thousands of accountsa each day, makes false transactions among the accounts that give each account +10 reputation, and start selling very rare high grade key dates in almost undectable fake PCGS slabs. Bill is in contact with Burrito, and Burrito supply's the fale slabs, Bob supply's the fake coins, and Bill supply's everything else. What's going to happen when buyer's start to find out they're getting scammed?

    I encourage anyone to add to the story!
