 The following is a press release from http://www.numismaticcrimes.orgA warrant has been issued by the Jefferson County, Texas Sheriff's Department for Bryson Miguel Cendejas W/M 12/19/1985 on a charge of Felony Theft. Investigators believe Cendejas stole gold and platinum coins from an elderly female valued between $100,000 and $200,000. Cendejas owner of Golden Triangle Associates in Nederland, Texas was contacted by the victim who wanted to sell her collection which consisted of 160 gold and 50 platinum coins. The victim shipped the coins and once received by Cendejas he advised her she had a one million dollar collection. In the months following she received only $16,000 for the sale of 18 coins. The victim demanded the return of her coins but none were shipped and Cendejas quit all communications. The suspect lived in Groves, Texas and may have relatives or ties in Oregon. Anyone having information on the suspect or his whereabouts should contact: Deputy Carroll Jefferson County Sheriff's Department 409-835-8734 or Doug Davis Founder/President 817-723-7231 Dou g @ n u m ismaticcrimes.org

I would assume that the picture was not taken by authorities but instead provided by someone that had one when questioned by police. At least I would hope that is how it happened.

Did she lose all 210 coins or just sell 18 coins ?
"In the months following she received only $16,000 for the sale of 18 coins."

"In the months following she received only $16,000 for the sale of 18 coins." He probably gave her the money over time, making it appear that he was paying her as he sold them. He probably did that to buy himself some time. Once he sold it all he could skip town, which was probably sometime after he paid her for the 18th coin. |
