<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 2138602, member: 4920"]Goldfinger, with all due respect, I don't think you're thinking straight. For one, this expert you're citing as your authority on these "well-documented" "Mint exchange practices of the 1920s and 1930s" testified in front of this jury. But for some yet unexplained reason this Switt is the only dealer in the world who ended up with these 1933 Double Eagles? No other dealer in the world took advantage of these "well-documented" "Mint exchange practices of the 1920s and 1930s," but him? Are you able to understand a jury wondering at that? In some 80 years these Switt 1933 Double Eagles are the only 1933 Double Eagles in existence, every one traceable to him? Are you able to understand a jury wondering, "How the hell does that happen?"</p><p><br /></p><p>The irony in this Opinion is this. The whole purpose of this CAFRA is to get this very trial on the issue of the "seized asset." They just had the trial, and it was in front of a jury, but because the Government didn't have the trial quick enough, this Court is holding the penalty is, vacate the judgment, throw the trial out, and return the coins this jury, after hearing all the evidence, found were "unlawfully smuggled out of the Mint." What happens, next, another trial? They just had the trial. No, disposition of ownership can't be the penalty for missing this CAFRA deadline, that doesn't make one lick of sense. There are problems in this narrow-minded Opinion, I'm telling you that. And this Mint returns these coins, and the next day they're "lost," and everybody sits around and goes, "Oops!" Ah, I don't know about that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look, this matter is messed up, enough, already. Let's sit back and see what happens. I'm getting tired of this. You want to continue to second-guess this jury verdict, by all means, have at it. I had enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
