Adam and All,
I have had many email discussions with with these clowns. They know
exactly what they are doing.

The 5-billionaires group are a bunch con artists and idiots.
Look at their latest "Duck Chondrule" offering, this is definitely one
for the books:

I don't think they have ever sold a real meteorite. They know they
are selling garbage and are trying to rip-off the public. Just look
how hard they try to convince their audience that these are real
meteorites. They run a magnet with a sticky substance on it all over
a supposed Nantan in one auction. If this were a real iron meteorite,
the magnet would jump out of there hands. In another auction, they
zoom in on light colored objects claiming they are chondrules.
This reminds me of the Shirokovsky pallasite webpage images complete
with divers and a poor story where every stone weighed exactly 50
kilograms, the size of a crucible. I remember you could not make out
any the faces of the hunters on this web presence, I wonder why? This
new group is brash enough to think that meteorite collectors are
stupid enough to jump all over a $28,000.00 Earth rock. Billionaires,
give me a break, they should call themselves penny-aires because that
is what a lot of their items are selling for except for one
unsuspecting person who paid several hundred for a fake meteorite.
I would love to run into this group in Tucson. I would buy them a
round of Denver Death Cookies and extract a confession from them. By
the way, I owe some Margaritas on a lost wager that I will make good
on at the next show.
Take Care,
Adam
