I wholeheartedly agree. Appears to me the wrong person got stuck with the bill and the right person waltzed away like nothing had happened. Hey, I have very little linenbacking work done, but when I do, it's going to Diane at Studio C. This is a real travesty. Rick In a message dated 1/24/2013 10:53:35 A.M.

Good of you Kirby. For what it's worth, (and that's admittedly very little) I decided when all this crap started that any future work needed would go to Studio C. Though to be honest collecting has really slowed down recently and it tends in the main just to the be larger paper I'd want backed. Prior to all this I was really impressed by what I saw of Poster Mountain. Wouldn't go anywhere near them now.

Because we were behind in Quick Books, I did not find this out until about 6 months later. In the meantime, Joe had run into "difficulties" and left the business. Diane never missed a beat. She absorbed the charges and put us right. She is one of the most stand-up people I know. I wrote the Judge in this case and said so. This is a miscarriage of justice. Sometimes it just happens. We all hope that it won't happen to us. The idea that Diane would help to perpetrate a fraud is just patently wrong. So I hope you feel good about yourself, Mr. Rega, wherever you are, whoever you think you are. What goes around......... Diane, chin up. We'll get you some business.

A few comments to address some of the questions that have come up: When I received the initial complaint, I did not ignore it. I retained an attorney in New Jersey to handle the response. When it became apparent that I would not be able to keep counsel, I figured I would represent myself. New Jersey court informed me that due to my company being a corporation, I was not allowed to. At this point I knew the end result would be a Default Judgment. So it was no surprise to me. On another forum there has been some discussion about restorers and their obligation to their clients vs moral obligation to the hobby. In this case, I did the restoration, knowingly restored incorrect information at the bottom, setting up a red flag on this poster. This poster was sent to John Davis for authenticity, my red flag was changed, obviously to further authenticate the poster. I publically stated my concerns about the poster and, well, we all know what happened then. I had planned, well in advance, for the potential ramifications of this case. This will not close Studio C, we are alive and well. We have all had "unfair things" happen to us in our life and this happens to be one of mine. It is just money and thieves/crooks, not really important stuff. That being said, it has still been such a help receiving all the encouraging words from all of you and you will always have my very heartfelt appreciation.
