Az Jack...I"m glad your back even if under these circumstances. And as for the rest of this...are we really back to thise debate. BNB is just young and learning the hard way. I We all agree he's messing up. We all agree he gets under our skin. We all agree he should not have posted that coin the original way he did. Let's just disagree if he was good for CT, the coin world or if we liked him around.
The mentality of deceit and deception that you describe is found in just about every business industry and there is absolutely nothing wrong with separating a fool from his money. In poker, you don't tell the fish that he is the fish, you simply take his money. In the rest of the business world, "caveat emptor" applies. People who buy raw key date coins sight unseen are fools and deserve to lose their shirts. The grifters of the world will always be there. Each of us bears the responsibility to obtain an education that will prevent us from falling victim to the grifters. BTW, There is no way there are more scumbags in collectibles than in the poker community.
The young man pushed a lot of folks buttons and I feel that was his plan. He is an actor and he used us to practice his trade. Many got sucked up in his plans, just as he wanted. I spend several weeks a year in Vegas and will agree that there are many more scums in poker and gambling. The scums in coins are not even close. Just my opinion.
