Not sure about how much they're feeding him but I have a wild hunch he's gonna lose weight. That is, of course, he doesn't con the other inmates outta their food
Thanks for the update.
That's a tough crime to sit in jail for. Conviction or not. I think his eyes will be opened to a whole new world...and not one of his choosing.
Damn, I was lucky to get paid by him for my last consignment. I am a lawyer so I put some heat on him and threatened "appropriate action" . I may have been the last onw who got paid. You could see his ship sinking a mile away.
He is not proven guilty yet.
Although looking kinda dim!
He really sounds as though he was a man who got in over his head and never could figure out a way to get out. One suspects demon greed played a role. It usually does.
Tragic, but it's time to pay the piper.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
The loan it sounds like he got caught up in sounds like a sad and unfortunate predicament.
The allegations against him extend far beyond greed and reflect a much deeper sickness.

More to the point of the discussions about his consignment business here...
If anyone was harboring hopes of being paid, the court approved his indigency petition and appointed a public defender. So there's no money in the tree.

He'll get his in the end.

Great reference . Barreta gave us that advice and ironically went on to do the crime himself , then did not do the time .
Yes, it was Barreta.... do not believe he did the crime though....as I recall, he was acquitted. Cheers, RickO
Neither did Robert Wagner, OJ Simpson, or William Shatner.
I used Shane's eBay selling services two or three times with very good results. He had a good following on The Bay. Seemed like a fair guy to me, although this was over five years ago. Really sad to hear about him completely unwinding like this.
All of this said, if he's guilty, I hope he pays a serious price. Very sad situation for all.

@drwstr123 ... Wagner was never charged, OJ was a travesty, Shatner was never charged. Cheers, RickO
What is he charged with? I must have missed the discussion. Is it relating to his not paying out on consignments?
Stories like his remind me a little of Groundhog day, there is nothing new under the sun. Jail gets boring after a while like this old joke.
A man goes to prison and the first night while he's laying in bed contemplating his situation, he hears someone yell out, "44!" Followed by laughter from the other prisoners.
He thought that was pretty odd, then he heard someone else yell out, "72!" Followed by even more laughter.
"What's going on?" he asked his cellmate.
"Well, we've all heard every joke so many times, we've given them each a number to make it easier."
"Oh," he says, "can I try?"
"Sure, go ahead."
So, he yells out "102!" and the place goes nuts. People are whooping and laughing in a hysteria. He looks at his cellmate rolling on the ground with tears in his eyes from laughing so hard.
"Wow, good joke huh?"
"Yeah! We ain't never heard that one before!"

Error on my part.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 'non-indigency' means that he HAS financial means, so if that was overruled, then they are saying that they don't agree, b/c he is 'in a state of poverty' or 'lacks financial means' and will be in need of a public defender.

I missed this. Terrible.

Wow. Ok, didn't expect that. Innocent until proven guilty but wow. Not good. It's like Breen all over again.
There was some being downloaded onto his computer while he was being arrested.

Wow. I met Shane a few times at FUN over the years. Mind boggling.
I misread it! Sorry @BStrauss3. Your original statement was correct, and I was the one in error.
My brain simply didn't register the prefix. Sorry for any confusion generated by my error.
Well he's still innocent until proven guilty but if that's the case it doesn't look good. Sick stuff. I wonder if drugs were found too and he just wasn't charged with it in lieu of the higher charges. If he had a meth addiction it would explain a lot with this and with suddenly not paying consignors.
Maybe I'll ask about buying his camera and setup to help pay some court costs. On the cheap of course.

sad to hear this, but we must protect the children.

so stealing from consignors is obviously bad , the child porn is a newer wrinkle , whats this about meth...... ???
oh well I'm sure the toned coins were all NT I doubt he would stoop to cross that line
This whole situation has enough components for an FX Original television series. Yikes...
If he doesn't have a lawyer, he'd Better Call Saul.

It appears if he still owes u money
you need write off as uncollectible.
@CascadeChris - I don't things drugs were involved at all.
In June 2012, Shane was fired from his job according to a post he made on the NGC Forums. This marked his transition to selling coins on eBay and coin dealing full time. In the thread, Shane remarked:
>
Approximately a year or so later, Shane moved from a nearby town to his last known address in Casselberry, FL. I think he began experiencing financial problems shortly thereafter and began having problems with paying his consignors. It may have been a case of him intending to borrow short term to feed his family, knowing that with his booming consignment business, he could quickly restore the funds and pay consignors so that no one would notice or lose money... until the coin market depreciated further. It doesn't make it right nor do I blame his consignors/creditors for being angry; however, I do not think it was initially Shane's intent to default and stick anyone. He had far too many chances to screw me when I sent him about $50k of stuff to photograph for me and never did. I think it is a case of bad luck and an incredibly stupid decision.
To be clear, I do NOT know for a FACT that this is what happened to the consignment proceeds, but before labeling him as a drug addict, etc., it is important to connect the dots that many may be overlooking.
Shane can call Saul.. in calling Dexter.
OMG ....had NO IDEA! the last thread got too long with people he never paid that I stopped reading long ago.
THANKS FOR THE UPDATE.

I was just speculating as it could answer many questions. As to him being fired and deciding to not pay consignors I guess some people just make stupid decisions if that was the case. I recently had to dissolve my business due to my partners health and am currently unemployed living on savings and hustling coins until I figure something out. Trying to find a job In the numismatic field actually and even willing to relocate. Just in the past few months I've had many thousands in coins consigned to me and it never even entered my mind to just keep all the money. It's simply unethical and not to mention a game of musical chairs where the music stops eventually, and quickly. I just don't understand how people can make a willful decision to burn bridges and destroy their reputation, and for short terms gains no less.
Get a judgment and the 0.46/hr is yours.
Life is full of choices. When someone allegedly makes bad ones...... the judge then decides what to do about them. No doubt maybe some of you could sway the judge with all these stories how it was not his fault, just a misunderstanding. Heh
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things pick up for you soon.
I never said it wasn't his fault. If this is what happened, he still made that decision although I view it differently than someone who sets out to cheat people or steals money to feed a drug habit especially if restitution is ever made (although I doubt this will ever be the case at this point).
I've kept quiet on this issue for a long time, but I consigned a handful of coins through krypto a couple times. The last time was right before all the issues came to the forum. I did get my money but it came after a bunch of emails and persistence. I feel bad that the money I received might have been someone else's here that he "borrowed" from. I guess I should have raised a flag at that time, but it didn't dawn on me at that point that it was going to be an issue this large. Unfortunately, it looks like a lot of people are out a lot of money and it just sucks.
OUCH!!!

I have known Shane for many years. Didn't see all this coming. He got in over his head.
He has a lot of folks upset with him.
Is it possible someone had remote control of his computer? Maybe a family member was using his system.
That's the only thing that could clear him of the porn charges. Sad stuff.
This is a bad situation for all involved.
I will say also with the charges he's facing and a public defender, he's guilty whether he is or not, unless Seminole County's are a lot better than ours. It may be a shame, but it is what it is.
When I sell consignments I want the money out of my account as fast as possible. I hear way to often of people taking months to pay a consignment sale, it is free money for the dealer (for the most part) so no idea what they cant pay the funds out.
