Man Charged for selling Chinese Morgans!

And boy, is his last name missing an H or what!

This is good news though. Seems like Ali buyers are no longer going unchecked. Maybe this trend will spill over into law enforcement getting IP addresses from eBay too

No kidding. Nice to see edited Sithole was caught and prosecuted.

 

10 months in prison is nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

Article did not say anything about paying restitution. Authorities will hopfully follow the chain of his sales. Tough for me, I live in Maine.

 

Oh, oh, oh... but don't forget about that "post release". That's serious business! (roll eyes here).

That said, this is another example of how our fellow Americans are at the very heart of the problem. No Matter how easy it is to blame the Chinese, without Americans like this individual perfectly willing to take advantage of the "opportunity", the market for their "products" would be much smaller. Supply and demand...

On the other hand, it's also very hard for me to have any level of sympathy for any business, and particularly any so-called professional, fooled by such things. This isn't much different from 5-6 years ago when the two cats were traveling around the east coast selling ridiculously poor fakes, such as the 03-CC Morgan (oops, I meant "fantasy pieces") and 1804 dollars, and more than a few "dealers" hit by them had the gall to whine openly. It's not as if fakes, alterations, or other deceptions are a well-kept secret. You play, you pay....

 

My first thought, too. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

 

I don't know, but, 10 months is an awful long time to make a Mr. Sithole buddy or two.

 

I probably bought that 79s from him. Lol

It's still Christmas time, er uh, the "holidays", so be nice to gemmy, okay?

 

Thanks . Dysfunctional Veteran, your original post would have produced a real problem for your participation. Yes, I can see it as the software records your changes for us. All, keep the politics , racism out of this.

 

10 months as a guest of the US attorney general is not a vacation, even if it is in a minimum security camp (Club Fed). And 10 months is better than no months at all.

 

With all due respect, sir; all one needs to do is take a quick drive through certain areas in any fairly sizable city in this country to see many who are willing to risk that and more for what most consider a pittance.

 

I will tip my hat to the Feds, provided they realize it is only a good start.

 

I didn't see exactly what he was convicted of. If it was a felony, just having a felony conviction is more than a slap on the wrist.

 

Do you think this was the first time he tiptoed through the tulips? To a career criminal, 10 months is just a vacation.

More like going to school

 

Another article I read said he could have got 15 years. So I bet 10 months looks real good to him. Also said he was buying the coins for $2.00 each.
