[QUOTE="jackeen, post: 133334, member: 5683"]I'm also jackeen over on eBay. Well, over there I'm jackeen666 (it's a long story). I was also suspended over there for my entanglements with Steve and SGS. Only for seven days, though. The thing that strikes me most about this whole affair is how Steve has repeatedly made things worse for himself and Abombcon. Had he not swaggered onto the eBay coin board, there would not be such spillover here and elsewhere. Now he's irritated people with connections to the ANA and "real" coin publications. People even less likely to be cowed by his lawsuit threats and his ignorant ranting about anti-trust laws. An accountant friend of mine once observed that "pigs get fat, and hogs get slaughtered". That was his homespun way of saying that fraudsters who call too much attention to themselves run afowl of the authorities, while less flamboyant practioners of the same "art" get away with their misdeeds. Here's hoping the SGS hog is edging ever closer to the butcher's knife.[/QUOTE]
