<< <i>This is great. The dude only had to apologize? There has to be more. >>
There is but this is all they will comment on. As long as she is happy as it was her that had to endure the guys crap.

However, as mentioned the ROR report is still up. I wonder what it would take to have that removed now it's established that this is definitely false and defamatory.
It is kind of ironic though, he got to say what he wanted to say, issued a lame apology and Laura can't comment. lol
Sounds like Paul played the big legal team to some degree, he represented himself and was able to keep the lawyers coming back to court with their meters running and even if he got hit with a judgement , he will not pay it. I am surprised the super legal team could not shut him down sooner.. Wonder what the judge awarded in legal fees verse actual billed amount?
The wheels of justice run slow and cost a lot to get a little bit done.
Reguardless I bet Paul will not do it again

Good for Legend. And nobody does this stuff as a joke..they are trying to destroy a person's reputation, livelihood, turn friends and family against them,

Maybe a court order? Or maybe have Carlos and Pablo pay the site owner a visit and make him an offer he can't refuse!
Congratulations. I hope she is satisfied and can put this behind.
What possible reason is there for someone to carelessly inflict damage on another person.
I like life's contributors, have no problem with those who are neutral or keep to themselves but those who do nothing but take and cause pain are.......I better stop.

I am so glad to hear this. I do hope that the original listing and defamatory statements will be removed. If not, Laura should have a cause of action against the ROR.
Awesome. Good to see someone with the cajones (and the bankroll) to punish one of these trolls.

<< <i>Reading between the lines, Ewell paid Legend's attorneys' fees and costs. >>
Reading between the lines, the legend lawyers were the only legally mature ones in the room when the judge presses for a settlement >>
I agree the Legend lawyers were the most mature but reading between the lines it looks like Paul was leading the parade to some degree. I would wager he has not paid the lawyers in full and doubt they took the case on without a retainer paid. I would like to see the total amount billed by the attorneys as they had to spend a few hundred hours billable on this verse the amount of fees they were awarded if any. We will most likely never know.
I have no idea what paul owns or what kind of money he has but some people are basicly judgement proof. If they don't have anything that is what you get, plus certain things are exempt in some states.
I have A stack of worthless judgements that I would be thrilled to get 5 cents on the dollar for them. I vary rarely hire an attorney anymore for my court appearences as I have found that I do as well as the attorneys do and the judge always cuts me some slack on the legal bs.
All that said the guy was a 100 percent wrong in posting the BS about Laura/legend. In a different country he may have been stoned or lashed for his BS
Mark NGC registry V-Nickel proof #6!!!! working on proof shield nickels # 8 with a bullet!!!!
This guy was stupid to be sure and deserved what happened to him. That said- wasn't removal of the offending remarks the primary goal? As someone pointed out earlier, the report in question is still on the site- so outside of some vengeance (and perhaps costing the perp the dollar equivalent of what would no doubt be a mediocre coin in Legend's inventory), what exactly was accomplished?
(Please don't say something lame like "vindication", because we all know that no one who counts believed the statements in the original report to begin with.)
I learned today that Paul Elwell is now deceased. He passed away June 5th. I have a suspicion that it wasn't an accident or illness.... >>
Here's Paul's obituary. He is survived by his wife and 4 children. My condolences to his family.
<< <i>ELWELL, Paul A, Mattawan
Paul was taken to his heavenly home by Jesus, Friday, June 5, 2015 at the age of 33. He was born September 29, 1981 to David and Linda (Mejeur) Elwell. He was united in marriage to Heather Donley on June 14, 2003. Paul authored 3 books. He enjoyed hunting, running, mountain climbing and playing guitar. Paul is survived by his wife, Heather Elwell; his children, Caleb, Zachariah, Rebecca and Elizabeth Elwell; and sister, Emily (Ivan) Birochak. The immediate family will greet friends and relatives, Wednesday, June 10, 2015 from 2-4 and 6-8pm at the Langeland Family Funeral Homes, Westside Chapel, 3926 S. 9th Street. The celebration of his life will take place Thursday, June 11, 2015, 11:00 in the Calvary Bible Church Sanctuary, 855 S. Drake Rd., Kalamazoo. A private service for family will be at Mt. Ever-Rest Cemetery South Park. Memorials may be directed to CampTurningPoint.com. >>
And to be clear, I wasn't making fun of his death or being disrespectful. It just struck me as something odd to post to the thread when it wasn't about Legend/Laura's litigation. My condolences go to his family.

What made you decide to bump up this thread with news of the complainant's demise? >>
I didn't mean to imply foul play. I had dealings with him myself and closely followed the docket of the lawsuit. I found the news interesting, and perhaps others might too.
I hope Laura didn't do it! That would be a true shame. Does anyone know if Legend Numismatics makes offers on coins?? I've been thinking about selling off some of my proof sets lately...mostly 80's and 90's U.S. but truly JAW DROPPING coins. I mean these coins are NICE. I would love to see if Legend would be interested in them as I have heard from many acquaintances that Laura is a pleasure to do business with. Anyways +1...Cheers, RonO

Legend does handle US proofs from the 1880s and 1890s so, if you have some, you should reach out to them.

Oops should have been more specific. These sets are from the 1980's and 1990's. Although now that you mention it I do have an 1885 Indian cent. I wonder if they might want that? Again my grading skills are not the best but I would say it would probably grade Very Uncirculated to About Fine...maybe I'll send it to ANACS and then give Laura a ring...Cheers, RonO

Hi, RonO, In the event that you are not pulling our collective leg, I suggest that you look at the coins in the Legend inventory and after that minimal amount of research, if you think that your coin(s) is consistent with what Legend sells, I would certainly shoot Laura an email. Or, if that is too arduous, just don't bother. Either path will likely lead to the same outcome.
This Legend-Elwell story is very unfortunate, from start to finish.
I personally dont think its farfetched to think someone that is so mentally deranged to disparage Legend Numismatics later committed suicide after the whole fiasco became known.
