The perpetrators of such fraud for the most part a) did time in jail b) are being tried currently, or c) are doing time now.

Re: Official swap meet/estate sale and flea market FIND thread

I basically spent a large chunk of my childhood at swap meets, mostly because that is how my parents started out their business, this was back in the early 70's's to about the late 80's.
