<p>[QUOTE="jolumoga, post: 26811490, member: 41780"]I can imagine what went down that led to this memo. The Secret Service perhaps got a tip that dealers were making money off of gold coins in New York City. I can imagine there was a beef between someone and one or a few of the dealers. Maybe it was a relative or in-law, or a disgruntled customer or former business partner. This is speculation, but I doubt the Secret Service proactively just targeted New York City coin dealers in an investigation. They then surveilled them, perhaps with some secret buys, and the Chief of the New York District office, perhaps a nerd who was shoved into a locker in high school, decided to show his male dominance years later and exact revenge against these coin dealers. The Secret Service had to get approval from the Treasury to take down these dealers and failed to get that approval. The late Treasury Secretary Woodin and the person who authored the memo, I believe an Ansel Luxford, deserve credit for preventing unnecessary pain and hardship to these coin dealers. I sense some malevolence in this take-down attempt that failed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
