Detectives say this isn't the first time Lutz has been accused of defrauding customers. He previously served prison time for similar crimes in Pinellas County, where investigators say he scammed dozens of coin buyers out of more than $220,000 over five years.

I'm certain if I was putting up that much money I would be leaving with my purchase. And if it wasn't in stock then call me when it is and we will do business.just not fronting a stranger that kind of money.
