Has it really happened?

Has anybody ever actually been caught putting coins in a Registry set that they did not own for the purpose of obtaining a highly rated set?

If not, why did everybody get so worked up over a hypothetical situation?

If so, please give details.

Thanks.
Matt

    People were worked up because it was not known to be a hypothetical situation until the next day.

    When I read the original post I cracked up, just sounded too far fetched to be true.

    I honestly think it is a great idea about registering coins that you don't own. I've got some PCGS/NGC inserts for some really nice commemorative coins that I'm going to put on eBay just for this purpose. I've still got the coins, but I don't need the inserts.

    I've thought in the past of writing a Perl program to go through
    the PCGS website and find the cert numbers for all the highest
    graded coins in the series I collect.

    It wasn't with any devious intentions in mind. I just thought
    it would be nice to have the numbers all printed out. I could
    use them when I'm at a show and couldn't get to the PCGS website
    to check legitimacy of a coin. I could use them to trace owner-
    ship of coins.

    The idea of leasing cert numbers sounds pathetic.
    But now I'm glad I don't have those numbers. What would start
    out as something innocent could get passed around and used for
    something evil.

    ps In answer to the title of the thread...I've never heard of it
    happening.
