it doesn't change anything. the reality is that a core of people knew
the whole story, but because Jaime had yet to make the right decision
and elocute none of us could reveal much information so as not to
jeopardize the cases of people who have filed lawsuits and those who
will file lawsuits.
None of us who posted are anonymous people and while I understand how
some people need to have all the facts to make judgements on
information, the reality is that other people are like old maids in a
sewing circle and only wanted the info so they could gossip.
Why anyone thinks that people like myself, Sean, Bruce etc would
engage in commentary without the facts however escapes me. I'm not
interested in gossip as it's just a fool's game. We had the facts
that we said we had and we said the facts could not be revealed until
the proper time so as to allow lawsuits to take a natural course and
so "gossip" could not muddy the water for people who were damaged parties.
As I said then, did you really think we fellows would engage in lies
that could make any of us liable for damages to anyone else??
You have to be kidding if you think yes.
Another way to look at it.. we had facts that we all felt it was not
necessary for everyone to have until the appropriate time. The
appropriate time is now and so now you all have the information needed.
Thankfully Jaime's co-operation will go a very long way to helping a
number of burned collectors get a certain level of justice and also
hopefully the major culprit in the forgery scam will now be able to
be held fully accountable, maybe do some jail time and finally be
drummed out of the hobby like any common criminal should be.

Aw, Sean, c'mon... there is a big difference between then (when you
and a couple of others were saying you "know things about Jaime that
the rest of you don't") and now, after Jamie has filed a sworn legal
statement for everyone to see which details what he did. His public
admission changes the whole situation.

MoPo is indeed a strange place.
I remember when I first stated that Jaime Mendez was the guilty
restorer who made the Universal fakes I was basically roasted for
convicting him before the judicial process had a chance to run it's course.
Now that he's offered testimony for the Plaintiff (testimony which
I am willing to wager no one on here heard - except for Jim
Gresham), everyone else is wanting to convict him before the
judicial process has a chance to finish running it's course.
Kind of reminds me of when I outed Debi Jacobson for not refunding
customers when she sold a Universal fake and was roundly blasted by
others for not giving her a chance.
My understanding is that now two months later and having had the
fake in hand for a majority of that time, she is still refusing to refund.
Obviously she doesn't have the same moral compass or sense of
customer responsibility of a Bruce or other sellers who promptly
accepted responsibility when they discovered they had sold a
fake. Makes me glad I don't do business with her.
