Isn't this all getting a bit silly? I'm sure that US law enforcement
agencies have better things to do at the moment! Over here in the UK we
manage to endure bad taste and poor senses of humour without rushing to
litigation, but I suppose that's the American way .....

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Wire Fraud and Steve Arnold of
Chicago...wasnwa 1794
Someone please forward this to Steve as he has me filtered. I wouldn't
want him to get blind-sided or miss out on all of the white knuckled
anticipation and glee some of us will be having today as a result of his
"April Fools Prank".
I am presently in the process of reporting criminal activity by Steve
Arnold with both the US Attorney in Chicago via the Secret Service and the
Illinois State Attorney general via the Office of Consumer Protection. An
April Fools "Prank" that is REAL is the best prank of all! LMAO
What Steve failed to realize in his "prank": was that 1) while so typical
for him, the ultimate in poor taste but better yet 2) his fake "going out
of business sale" was a violation of Illinois consumer protection law and
also US wire fraud statutes. By his own admission, Steve knowingly used
premeditated, false incentives, to promote commercial sales across state
lines via a wire. He also conducted a sale under the guise of "going out
of business" and will will likely be forced to complete that sale within
30 days limit and/or cease business in that field as I understand the
law.--plus penalties, fines, and costs-- he knows the routine.
People that bought from him in good faith, had a reasonable expectation
that Steve was going "out of business" and that his inventory would no
longer be available nor would he be competing with other dealers. These
are published statements in public. There is also some evidence that
Steve has been using unemployment payments to purchase inventory for an
unlicensed and illegal enterprise which makes him ineligible for those
payments and liable for repayment. You have no idea how much satisfaction
I am getting from knowing that his own arrogant behavior has done himself
in and that his payback will hit him in a most appropriate way.
Steve, as I write, I am waiting on a call back from the Illinois Attorney
General's Office to file complaints on the fake GOB sale. Tomorrow, I, am
meeting with a US Secret Service Agent (who handles wire fraud and not the
FBI--go figure) to make the case for wire fraud. Don't worry you'll
probably only get probation or diversion for a first offense--but wait
this isn't a first offense is it?
Oh Dratt--since you used a computer in the fraud they can make you never
ever use a the internet again..depending on the victim impact statements
made--if it goes to trial and not bargained out. So we'll soon be assured
that it is your VERY last post! Sounds like a win/win!!!
As to the REAL Steve Arnold of Chicago(Technically Elgin but what's a
little exageration from sSteve-- I've long considered behaviors like this
to be those of a slimy, lying, lowlife parasite who'll always be one--but
that is my personal opinion and while that isn't illegal in itself, it has
lead him once again into legal problems. (Remember a certain FAKE
corporation?)
Steve's selling meteorites to buy a casket for his mother-in-law was
pretty slimy especially when he went to visit her on vacation 6 months
later(you know--one of the vacations he reported hourly to the list
about?)...but this is even slimier. For a person that "loves the hobby
and all the friends there (sic)" he sure does slime them with regularity.
Bad Boy Bad Boy... whatcha gonna do...Whacha gonna do when they come for
you...Bad Boy Bad Boy... (he'll probably make the case for an insanity
defense and walk free).

PS: Be ready for the Steve Arnold: Need to Raise Bail! Meteorite Sale--IF
he has any to sell as they are evidence in his illegal activities and
should be seized for 18 months till his state trial comes up.

Ok - it's official - that is the worst April Fool's
hoax. Ever. Next year you should claim to have an incurable disease,
and then tell us it's not true. It'll be a gas.
Unless... maybe Steve #1's saying that last week was a
prequel to April fools, IS his april fools joke...Only time
will tell.
