[QUOTE="Michael Sith, post: 260166, member: 4511"] Obviously there is no court case ( having said that the potential amounts of money that would be involved, and the loss to individuals and impact upon the hobby would be devastating) Many throughout this thread have put forward accusations, and defences. Truly the one person that needs to comment is the person all of the furore has been levelled toward, if that person for whatever reason decides not to comment ( even though respected members of the collecting community have asked him to) then this leads the way to supposition, suspicion, mistrust and the natural human response of argument. In law, there is a situation where silence can lead to inference, and Tacit admission could come into play ( let's face it most people in any given situation, would at least proffer a defence, or alternatively hold their hands up) This is a very unfortunate situation, with serious ramifications upon the hobby and upon individuals who have purchased items in good faith. A lot if the issue here is reputation, and if collectors have made purchases, that lets face it, they did not for a moment feel to be a risk, absolutely based on the fact that the seller had a great reputation in the hobby. It is a very sad state of affairs, whatever your view, that will only be cleared up if the person in question puts forward explanation. As I am relatively new to the hobby I do not in any way think I am qualified to make comment on particular pieces and purchases being genuine, however, I am old enough and wise enough to form an opinion, which is what most people will do, and the longer the silence is in place, the more negative people will feel. I genuinely hope this is sorted for the good of the hobby itself, and for all of those collectors that are affected ( and future collectors...as they are also at risk, if it turns out there is flesh on the bones of this) A damn shame if you ask me, [/QUOTE]
