Goldflake,
Awesome posts!
I'm glad that got shut down. It makes me sick that some are allowed to continue for so long despite overwhelming, indisputable, verifiable, 3rd party validated, empirical factual evidence fully supported by an abnormally high percentage of the seller's customer base and extending over such a long period of time with all victims essentially being victimized via the same methodology.
Long story short.. there is so much factual evidence, such a high number of victims, and over such a long time period showing clear premeditated criminal intent that is ongoing matched with the not insignificant total amount of monies lost that removes all reasonable doubt. It is blatant criminality that is almost flaunted.
For any LE and prosecutor this was an easy, fast, open and shut, slam dunk guilty case FOUR sentences ago.
Sorry for rambling.. I'm mad. I'll chill...
In your last post you stated that the criminal has finally been stopped. Can you state what was the "trigger" or "straw that broke the camel's back" that finally made LE (I'm assuming) act?
I don't need details or a link but any info that would assist in anyway possible in stopping or deterring the most blatantly obvious of these scenarios where there are multiple credible victims that are seeking and receiving zero relieve.
If you or me or any body would have advertised that bar as 1 Troy oz of .999 gold in that packaging on craigslist.org and sold it to some one who then simply dropped by a jewelry store, pawn shop, and darn butcher's scale at the grocery store and found it to be fake. Who then drove down to the local police department, tell the story, provide the seller's description/info etc.
The seller is in jail within hours and will be found guilty in a court of law.
AND that would the best case scenario for the criminal. It could be a whole lot worse, real quick.
