*Up until late last night I had a few fellow friends and collectors
email/asking me for a name. So I am glad it is now out in the open as I
kindly refused to name that name.
Trust me it was and still are a shocker for me.
I know I know, innocent until proven guilty, but I still strongly
suggest that anyone that publicly endorse their site in some shape or
form ( link, accolade, testimonials)
Might want to consider removing such until it is all cleared. I would
hate to find out that someone road off in to the sunset with a suitcase
of posters.
End of the day, I hope this is just a silly nightmare and Jamie is cool
and we can all get back to posters. So I hope.
Best,
dario.

There has been much private speculation on the part of many collectors
as to which restorer allegedly created the fakes which defrauded so
many people, including most major Universal horror collectors. And
those who have known who it was have continued to refuse to name that
person, forcing some people to publically announce it was *NOT* them,
to keep their good names clear.
These days, lawsuits are not filed with paper, but they are also filed
electronically, and they are available for public view.
Go to
*http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-miedce/case_no-2:2009cv13405/case_id-242141/* and
see the lawsuit that was filed two days ago, which names some names
(but it also includes a "John Doe" and a "Jane Doe", which means that
more names will be forthcoming).
I wish those involved in this would simply tell exactly what happened,
so that the air can be cleared, and all honest dealers, restorers, and
auction houses will no longer have a cloud over their heads. Once the
truth is known, even those who had a relatively minor involvement
(like dealers or auction houses which unknowingly acted as middlemen
in the sale of some of these fakes) will surely find that having the
truth out there will be better than waiting for it to be dragged out
over a period of months.
I am so happy this matter is not being mishandled as the minty whites
were (where no one did anything), which resulted in the criminals
never being brought to justice, thousands of collectors being
defrauded of hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and a black
cloud hanging over the hobby to this day. Let us all learn from that
giant mistake and not put our heads in the sand and hope this will
just "go away", because if we do that, our entire hobby will suffer
greatly.
