    AGREE !! Thank You.

    Dementia / Alzheimer's .... Maybe , Possibly ??....Mr. Price.

    These sad stories should be reminders for all of us, to be very aware of our family, friends and loved ones, even strangers,
    that might not know something is wrong with them, and have their reasoning / decision making processes wrong.
    And nobody to be a good steward / caregiver for them.

    My current role in life is being a daily caregiver for my mother - n - law with Alzheimer's, I have to keep a very close
    eye on her ALL the time, due to very poor reasoning and keeping her safe.

    Just saying......

    Holy Carp. What a mug. Not a face I'd trust with even 1 Krug.

    When reached by phone Wednesday, King said he was innocent, calling Price an "unhappy customer." ....ain't it always like that.

    It's never "hard" to find a buyer for 500 Krugs. No different than trying to sell $600K in FRN's. What made this dealer so special? And why the rush to sell 500 all at once? Was the seller looking to pay more in taxes?

    Sounds like a classic case of taking advantage of a trusting elderly person.

    Yikes...I've got a winter place in Jupiter, Fla. I've probably been in his shop, though I never dealt with anyone who looked like that.

    Did that for my grandmother - and in her last four years I had to fire people she hired, get back deposits on purchases and pretty much put a freeze on her finances because every kind of imaginable charlatan seemingly found her.
