The interesting thing is that not only did Allen agree to cooperate with the Feds but he also tipped off John Rogers that he was wearing a wire and recording their conversations. The best part is that John Rogers was also cooperating with the Feds and turned Allen in for tipping him off. There is no honor among thieves apparently.

I hope they all go away for a long time and for obstructing justice, Allen should go away for a REAL long time.

Allen marks the third former executive of Mastro Auctions to plead guilty to an eight-year scheme to rig auctions to drive up prices on rare baseball cards, game balls and other collectors’ items. Last week, Mark Theotikos, the former vice president of acquisitions at Mastro, pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud.

you NEVER know for sure--do you??

having to rely on a person's personal integrity becomes very muddy when $$ is involved

Guess its a good thing I didn't bite on the "opportunity of a lifetime" that Doug offered me to invest in Legendary!

There are lots of horror stories about the goings on at Mastro. I hope that no one here was hurt too badly by them.

Bunk and Lester Freamon got it all down on tape.

I was hurt by his dishonest acts. I am sure I will see ZERO compensation from this.
